Have we learned nothing?

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

discrimination against stems

while i've seen the shrimp get killed in front of me and then sliced into sashimi and that was fine that's a meat in need of at least ceviche treatment

while I do not look forward to the internecine boardroom intrigue that will become all our problem and power handed to various failsons, eunuchs, and scheming viziers, I do look forward to the possibilities it offers future employees that the omnipotent CEO can literally be unplugged

the biggest problem with the invention of the gun is that it changed the calculus on how many dudes you need on your side when the mob comes for your head for the worse

its no different with psychedelics right now, where we have a passion project doing the heavy cultural lifting, pharma companies rock hard at the prospect of getting to charge ¿ for some shrooms, and then the actual users who basically say nothing at all

is there a reason that we need bespoke regulation for each drug? right now there dont seem to be any models that work so it feels like we're spinning up to generate a dozen different ones that dont work

main point of contention ive got here is that all drugs (short of like pyrros) are part medicine - ethanol is still on the WHO list of essential drugs for reasons beyond sterilization, and is an essential treatment for a multitude of poisons that compete for alcohol dehydrogenase

Calm down, computer software isn't making decisions about who lives and who dies in war. It merely processes a ton of data and then makes a recommendation to a human who has no realistic way to verify it

Lol dry herb vaping my tobacco is any hobbyist drug paraphernalia sacred anymore?!

stable environments and niche tracking; the rate of change for horseshoe crabs is basically nil (yeah i know new alleles still emerge and allele frequency is still changing but about as close as we'll get)

Trump is in Vegas. It's Wrestlemania weekend, also in Vegas. There's no way Trump dies in the ring at Wrestlemania. But we can't rule it out.
