It would very much be our problem because then we’d have a nation with fealty to Putin/Russia right on our doorstep.

Sure but if we fail to succeed, which is highly likely, then we get to plunge the country into fascism, y’all qaeda style sharia law, aiding and abetting Putin, etc. I’m sure you’ve heard it all though.

Ive never seen any credible evidence of an actual transfer of funds to Stein from Russia, but there is definitely evidence that they support her in order to siphon votes from the Democratic candidate. U.S. elections affect the entire world and it is no surprise that enemies of the U.S. are going to use every resource they can to alter the results in their favor.

Paying for the privilege of using AI to sift through the vast bleak sea of AI generated garbage. What a time to be alive!

Hillary is a downer cuck that needs to stfu and gtfo. Nobody cares what she has to say. She’s done enough. Please just fuck off and go make some insider trades or something.

Nobody uses hub motors on production EVs yet as far as I’m aware due to the much higher unsprung mass this creates. That is to say it is a bunch more weight flopping around on the opposite end of the suspension from the frame. This leads to handling, ride quality and reliability issues. Rivian does at least use a 4 motor system though.

There are so many details which are being thrown out here in order for you to lump those two quotes and events together like that and call them the same. I’m no genius at reading comprehension and even I can see that! I think you need to spend an additional 5 minutes reading about the two wars, and then some.

Vegeta, what’s his MHz level?

Did Florida’s law provision for treatment options? If not, then maybe it really isn’t the same “stupid easy-sounding solution”. I think that if you should take some time to read the article and understand the measure that was voted on, before you call the entire population of California as dumb as that of Florida…

From the article:

Breed’s office has said the measure was intentionally designed to be flexible on the treatment component. Treatment options could range from out-patient services to a prescription for buprenorphine, a medication used to treat addiction. They noted it doesn’t include a requirement for participants to remain sober, recognizing that people often lapse in recovery and shouldn’t be kicked out of the program for a slip-up.

Seriously. Who the fuck is up voting this completely detached from reality shit? This is honestly a really bad look for Lemmy. It reminds me of “The_Donald” subreddit from back in the day. Different end of the political spectrum but behaving pretty similar.

SF has cops? Jk but yeah, Its so obvious that the people making comments like that don’t live here. The rage bait is strong with this topic for sure.

Oh man he really showed me, by putting more words in my mouth… lol. I’m not going to wrestle with a pig here, Adolf! Enjoy your internet forum mud slinging battles!

No I don’t think that and I never said that. Please don’t try and put words in my mouth.

To be blunt, I think that the people in California, today, are much better equipped to take on this issue than the people in Florida were 15 years ago.

I only mentioned drug lords because, well, theyre just another obstacle between the addicted and the thing they’re addicted to. May as well remove it, and give them a guaranteed quality product. I’d be 100% on board for treating their chronic pain issues. Nobody should have to live with that and I agree, it’s a factor that could lead to them returning to using again.

I just wonder though, what happens if they want more than you can give them? How do you wean them off? Is the goal to even wean them off? What stops them from just going somewhere else and buying more than what you give them?

Yeah and sure, its a fair point. Honestly curious though, do you think we should just cut out the middle man drug lords then and just provide the addicted with the fent directly? Like just consider it part of the welfare if that’s what they want? Why force them to deal with with stuff that can be cut, adulterated, or what have you?

Jeez yeah thankfully I’ve never had to experience fent myself. I did get some Molly one time that was cut with meth, and that was a huge eye opener for me… different drug but still.

I do know the back story to one of the victims. He was just a dude that got caught up in the party scene too much. Was always using more and more as time went on. People even told him he was going to die someday. Sure enough, he had another party at his place, and in the early morning, people found him lying on the floor of his room, partially in a closet, dead. Fentanyl OD.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, some of the people came back and took shit from his house after they learned he died. Ugh

I have spoken to some on the street though that did indeed get hooked originally from a pain script. It’s definitely a thing.
