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.

Many of these immigrants are crossing other countries where they would be safe if they stopped there. Instead they choose to continue on to the US. At that point they are economic migrants, who are trying to skip the queue.

It’s the same here in Australia. Instead of stopping in a safe country in SEA, they make dangerous boat voyages because they believe they’ll be better off financially. We turn those boats around or keep them offshore, where at anytime they could go somewhere other than Australia but they don’t want to because they want to try and seek welfare here.

I have no sympathy for them. Let in the people who apply properly to come here. Not those who try to sneak in.

Fuck off pedo scum. You and your kind destroy the lives of children, mine included. You have the gall to throw stones here when you support the abuse of children? I hope you get what’s coming to you.

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.

People say negative things about that? That’s crazy, people are judgmental about stupid shit.

Ah yes, once someone dies we are no longer allowed to listen to their music do you’ll be safe now.

Lol I would bet the majority of that crap is from just normal people.

The article isn’t about what you think.

The article says it was shutdown in June 2020, a few months after it started. Is that inaccurate?

Such a dumb question.

Building a nuclear power plant requires the collaboration of physicists, nuclear + electrical + civil engineers, etc…

Solar requires a certified electrician.

We know how to build nuclear safely, it just requires a lot more effort and oversight, therefore is not something you can build at home.

Thank you, I really appreciate that 😊

I feel much better today. Fuck the comic, I’m going to move on with life.

Manhattan?

Thank you for your riveting analysis. CNN will be calling soon to get you on I’m sure.

He failed to act on the AIDS epidemic until it was too late.

If I install solar panels and the inverters incorrectly I could potentially harm or kill myself and others. Therefore solar isn’t safe.

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.

As a CSA survivor, who had images taken of me while I was abused… Fuck you.

People wanting to possess it is exactly what encourages people to produce the material. If you let people possess it with no consequences you will let the demand shoot up and basic economics should tell you what happens next with the supply part.

That is disgusting. Seriously. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

I hope this is true. After 20 years of keeping it secret I’m finally in therapy for being raped as a child.

I would be so happy if the flashbacks and memories would go away… Or be more manageable.

God damn it this comic upset me.

So you made the same point they did and added nothing.

I never thought I’d see a thread on Lemmy arguing that a group of young women should be forced to live with someone that they clearly don’t want to.

Good for you for arguing with them, I don’t have the energy this morning.
