  • Anon helps with his gf's vaping addiction
  • yeah using some random "cutting solution" is how you end up with Honey Cut 2.0

  • If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.
  • A capital libertarian government would not fund public roads. You would need to pay a toll to drive on every privately built road, because your capital is free to move. But roads to certain places would cost more than others, thus restricting the individual's liberty to their ability to pay.
    A individually libertarian government funds public roads. Individuals then retain the right to self-determination to decide where they want to go without restriction. How they go on those roads might be subject to their capital restrictions- whether they walk, bike, drive, rollerskate, or whatever. But they are at least allowed to use those roads.

    Certain things will always be needed in our society for humans to function. If humans are not functioning correctly, they are not free to self-determine their path. Gating such a simple thing as healthcare, which again, humans absolutely need to function, behind the ability to pay is inherently restricting their individual liberty in an immoral way.

  • If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.
  • This is a bit of a loaded question and very poorly written. Bad troll is bad.

    The problem stands that modern "Libertarians" have been corrupted by corporations and conservative bigots to mean "elimination of government and regulation" and not "government to uphold liberty" like it originally did. A correctly Libertarian government would write laws that solely uphold the power of the individual's self determination, which inherently requires restriction of the power of capital.

    I consider myself Libertarian, but I feel there now has to be a distinction made between "Capital Libertarians" and "Individual Libertarians". One wants the liberty of capital, the other wants the liberty of the individual. I find myself in the latter. Corporations can go fuck themselves, the individual is paramount.

    "Socialist" things like public infrastructure, and yes, public healthcare, would be supported by individual libertarianism. Social support structures like these support individual liberty but restrict capital liberty by requiring taxes to support them, whereas supporting capital liberty by making it "pay as you go" does nothing but remove the individual liberty of the population that finds themselves without any capital through no fault of their own. I absolutely support universal healthcare.

    Biden driving China, Russia into 'shocking' partnership, expert warns: 'Blunder of the highest order'
  • That was always going to happen. Russia's industrial base is collapsing and has been for a while, while China drools over the kind of natural energy and mineral resources that Siberia is full of. Plus, as climate change moves on and much of China overheats, those northern latitudes will continue to look more and more attractive. It's beneficial for both sides of the respective imperialistic coin for them to trade for the thing the other doesn't have.

  • I think the first thing I ever pirated was Cars. I was like 13, They didn't have a VHS for it at the library and our home internet at the time was too slow to even think about streaming, so I figured out how to torrent and it took like 6 days to get a complete copy of the movie.

    I ended up sticking to pirating and pack packratting all the movie files locally specifically because our internet was so bad.

    Notable core gameplay changes:

    • you can now claim authorship of NPC ships after you hack them so that npc pcu limits are correct (and your ownership is also correct)
    • destroyed cargo containers now have a temporary storage item that drops with everything in it instead of puking out 750 thousand items and creating a lag bomb
    • there is now a communications block that can send chat messages
    • there is now ways to wirelessly send actions between grids, a HUGE advancement to automation

    This is shaping up to be a fantastic core update. Looking forward to playing it.

    Who's your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college's club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don't want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.

    it really seems like edibles are the best way to toke

    i don't have to deal with smelling like a smoker, they don't make your eyes burn and get red, they seem to be more mellow and much more gradual at making you high too, they don't need charging or have problems with coils leeching whatever other weird heavy metal shit into a vape

    yeah it's more expensive especially if you're buying dispensary gummies like my lazy ass does, and takes a hot minute to kick in vs instant smoking, but like damn some huge upsides

    I haven't seen this posted yet. All of reddit's C-levels sold $41.245 million worth of stock in the first week of trading.

    If that's not the textbook image of rats leaving a sinking ship, I don't know what is. "Fuck you. Got mine!"

    The price pump that conveniently happened immediately after release sure was nice for Pig Boy Huffman, wasn't it.

    Data on short positions become available tomorrow (April 9th) as referenced in this article so the roller coaster is only just getting started. It's gonna get wild once the market realizes what a house of cards Reddit is built on.

    Degraded server performance?

    I've been having a bit of trouble loading the lemmy site today. It times out and takes ages to load quite often. I tested with other websites (Wikipedia, a school website, google) and while my mobile data is... not fast, it is not as slow as db0 is running.

    I started thinking about it and I feel like loading performance has been slower than usual for a few days even...

    Can anyone else confirm degraded performance today or am I trippin'?

    Edit: using latest Firefox running uBlock origin on Android 14 if that matters. S21 Ultra.
