  • If anyone likes medical dramas, my wife and I really like Skymed, it's on CBC Gem. This most recent season (still ongoing) has been a lot of fun, the producers and/or writers have clearly been given the freedom to experiment with the format.

  • Yeah, I get that. I read the article. But knowing that aspirin has a greater mass than fentanyl has no purpose, it's not useful information. It's not relevant to anything at all, so it's just strange to mention.

    It's like saying 40mg of a banana would fit on the head of a pin to emphasize the point instead of using baby aspirin... yes, that's a very small amount, but it doesn't really provide additional context (other than to force someone to realize, "wow, things that weigh the same can do different things?!") since it's so obvious.

  • In the context of fentanyl, isn't that completely irrelevant? So 5mg of fentanyl is 1/8 the mass of a tablet of baby aspirin. Now what?

    I completely understand the aim is to illustrate how arbitrary outlawing possession of 40mg would be. I'm aware of the implications and I agree. But comparing fentanyl to baby aspirin generally doesn't make sense and especially not in terms of mass or concentration.

  • Lol. I hate how much this is like 1984 because I dislike people using it as an example all of the time. But between this and the "America First" shit, wherein tariffs are being levied against everyone, the logical conclusion is that Trump wants to close down the US, go self-reliant, and have citizens be too placated by propaganda to do anything about it.

    However, this is a shitty idea and it won't go to plan, so he'll just end up with stupid people who can't even work the factories needed to not have this culminate in a mass economic disaster. Anyone smart enough to care should leave the country ASAP because it won't get better. Other countries should be revamping their refugee programs to benefit from the brain drain.

  • Most incels and femcels do not meet their own standards of beauty, emotionality, and sociality. This is partly why they hate themselves so much and project that hate onto archetypes like Chad and Stacy. A lot of blackpilled incels genuinely believe they are unlovable and will be forever alone — any partner of those people will not be treated well since there's an inherent lack of trust/belief in the relationship.

    Not to mention that depressed/self-loathing people dating each other is a really bad idea and results in shitty relationships and emotional turmoil. Sometimes these couples become codependent and then they're together for years even though they dislike each other. It doesn't necessarily help anyone get better, it often makes it harder to work on yourself because of the "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

  • Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.

    Considering that that's something that explicitly results in disbarment, and that an incompetent or deliberately poor legal defense is grounds for a new trial, I highly doubt that this would occur.

    There are ways around these consequences, of course, but there would be very few defense attorneys willing to risk their career to facilitate a win for the government. I suppose blackmail isn't out of the question, if they want to go down that road, but that's highly speculative and conspiratorial.
