What registrar do you use? Last time I checked .io domains where like 4x the price of a .org

Well that just makes the title even more useless.

I agree with you somewhat, but it's not like Swiss military / civil service for men is any different and this seems like a more equitable approach to the existing system. Also, sure it's cheaper than hiring specialized personnel gor this type of labor, but I'm assuming the state would still be paying the normal wages to employers, so young people won't earn less during their service (I could be totally wrong though)

There is one called "The Scout Mindset" by Julia Galef. It's an amazing resource when it comes to teaching critical thinking, because it gradually introduces the reader to the virtue of being able to change your mind/opinion based on new information. I think that's a fundamental skill everyone needs in order to use critical thinking in a meaningful way.

Sevastopol was out of range for Ukrainian missiles until recently. The Ukrainian army was able to move their launchers 10-20km south only thanks to the gains made during the summer offensive. The recent attacks on Russian targets in Sevastopol/Crimea are probably precisely to draw Russian deployments from the front lines.

Leftists who think, if I don't subscribe to their narrow, personal definition of leftism, I must be an epistemically evil conservative maniac with no middle ground whatsoever.

You are never going to have a meaningful conversation with anyone if you can't accept that people with different opinions are just that: People with opinions. Most of them aren't evil. Not deceitful. Just humans who've had different experiences than you.

If you label all these people as evil then indeed, violence against them is the only option you have. You create a world as radical, judgmental, and toxic as the sad history you're trying to rectify by insulting and shutting up people who just express honest and valid concerns.

Wow, you're actually unhinged with the personal attacks. They never said burning the South wasn't justified at the time (they said the opposite). They pretty much only pointed out that certain means may carry unintended consequences to be aware of before engaging in such means. They ain't blaming anyone. Where's the racism/fascism in that?

My take: If you are at a low point in life, have a mental disorder or are depressed, your chances of getting addicted over time is greatly increased and you probably shouldn't consume without medical supervision (even then, THC-less weed might be better for you). It's really hard to get out of the habit once smoking weed slowly becomes the only thing that can give you joy/relaxation, and your mental situation worsens long-term.

In most other cases your risks are very small and you definitely should try it sometime. Every person reacts a little differently, hence the many opinions out there. I say just try it, see how it makes you feel and if you decide to consume regularly, try to be mindful of any negative habitual/bodily changes that long-term use may cause.

There it is, calling me a conservative without any proof. Good job grouping me with all the other "villains". Nevermind that I'm a life-long leftie who understands nuance.

Aight, it's getting late here. Good luck with that two party system of yours. Seems to work out great for you! Go extremism!

How old are you people???

The concept of good faith goes both ways.

I'm sorry but hardly anything you said about conservatives in this thread was in good faith. Otherwise, kindly point me to any moderate conservative casually calling themself a villain.

And your solution is to shame and dehumanize the entire conservative community into submission/irrelevance? Labelling everyone on your right a villain, nazi, fascist or whatever solves absolutely nothing and kills any attempt at honest discourse.

Sure, ALL conservatives are grotesque villains who love killing vulnerable people... Some people should hear themselves speak, smh. Username checks out I guess.

I wish you named it "lewwy.world" just for the symmetry lol.

Yeah, if their misconduct had been any less extreme/obvious, they'd probably plead 'not guilty' and get away with a slap on the wrist. Just my feeling..

Man, I knew it was going to be hard, but these first few days have been hell. Crying every night, throwing up, anxiety attacks... all the good stuff. My admission wasn't even addiction related, but I feel you. I'm glad you made it into/through rehab and that you're better now. If it were easy we wouldn't have landed there in the first place. And ya, the view and fresh air definitely help, prolly more than I'm aware.

All the best to you, too!

Added to my audible, I'll make sure to checknit out. Thanks for the recommendation!
