Ugh, yeh I hate judgemental pharmacists. I take a couple of controlled substances, but I’ve found a pharmacy nearby where they are super nice and happy to have my business. Now my whole family goes there for all our pharmacy needs, even if the shitty chain discount place might be a little cheaper.
I agree with you, but I think both of us about to be downvoted by these cheapskates lol
People say negative things about that? That’s crazy, people are judgmental about stupid shit.
Lol I would bet the majority of that crap is from just normal people.
The article isn’t about what you think.
He failed to act on the AIDS epidemic until it was too late.
There is a middle ground. The FDA shouldn’t have the power to ban a product from the market. They should be able to publish their recommendations, however, and people who trust them can choose to follow those recommendations. Others should be free to publish their own recommendations, and some people will choose to follow those instead.
That’s putting too much responsibility on the average person, who doesn’t have the time to become educated enough in biology and pharmacology to understand what every potentially harmful product may do to them. What if they never even hear the FDA recommendation?
Also, though you’d like to think this would only harm the individual in question who purchases a harmful product, there are many ways innocent third parties could be harmed through this. Teratogens are just one example.
This kind of laissez-faire attitude just doesn’t work in the real world. There’s a reason we ban overtly harmful substances.
Car thefts are up here anyway, but a lot of it is break and enters where they just get into your house to grab the keys.
There is a diagnostic USB port in the steering column of the car, they are plugging a cable into that then the car just starts without the key.
Immobilizers are required here in Australia so it’s not that, I think it just inspired a bunch of kids to go steal cars in other ways.
Yeh I feel you, I used to be the same way actually. Gradually over time my habits changed and now I look forward to the Discovery playlist each week. But I totally get where you’re coming from, I used to just listen to the same artist over and over ha ha.
Eh, I’m a full album guy (Pink Floyd ftw) but I still enjoy Spotify. I’ve been introduced to a lot of good music I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood to commit to a full album.
Give us the quotes then. You are interpreting them in the worst possible way, rather than how the average person who has to commute would.
I don’t see capitalism raising people out of poverty as bad. It’s one of the greatest achievements of capitalism.
The way they implemented it is the problem, and clearly not everyone is happy about it as we see in Tiannemen square and, more recently, the way Chinese citizens developed a coded vocabulary to express their discontent.
I feel like a lot of people on Lemmy suffer from this issue: they see things as right-wing just because their POV is decidedly left. I know the basic left-right spectrum is too simple, but we do need to recognize politics is relative and that just because you are further one direction than someone else doesn’t invalidate the fact that by common standards they are on that sane side of the spectrum.
Yeh it was soma.
Lol, Lemmy is still small enough that I know the thread you are talking about. It was a political discussion, yeh?
If I remember right most of the people who argued with you were from hexbear, which tracks lol.
I see we’re not so different after all…
I love that movie ha ha
‘Anti-homeless’ = they said the transit authorities should crack down on people smoking meth on the train and who generally make commutes unsafe and uncomfortable for passengers.
Are you people going to chase this poor person all over this damn site? Get a grip lol.
Thank you Tolstoy, great novel.
I’m so glad you people are too detached from reality to actually start your ‘revolution’.
Lmao those babies on hexbear are so fragile, of course they’ve come here to attack you.
And that one mod being like ‘no one mentioned Marxism’. Yeh, hexbear is famously right-wing 🙄🤣
That’s a nice pipedream, but why would airlines move to this system? They seem perfectly happy with the current system where you have to pay to change anything.
And the game thing doesn’t make sense. If the game shuts down, where are you going to use your NFT? There’s a few crappy crypto games that have tried making it so items are transferable, but for larger games it sounds like a nightmare to implement.
NFTs are like crypto, a solution in search of a problem. I’ll be honest, I’m anti-crypto and NFTs, but if a valid usecase presented itself I’d be happy to be wrong. I just haven’t seen it yet.
