@ShadowWizard Unless someone goes onto his children I don't believe he'd consider doing that. He's one of the calmest and coolest guys I've ever experienced.
@Oded Leaving The company, all it's established sites, leaving time bombs in the code, etc. Well, we're software developers and know how to do all of these things
@Oded I truly believe that. Seems to be a great workplace. But as usual product management and marketing goes with weird ideas, and devs and support personnel is charged to fix their s**t.
Let's say if you're already rich enough, you'll get less interested into the real world problemz, but more affected about what your rich neighbors are used to do (e.g. flying 1st class vs just take your own plane) :3
I've taken this from a recently published scientific study.
And I am (as not being to considered rich by any means), I had a hard laugh when some of my colleagues said: "Well, end of the month coming, I had to take my bottle deposits 1st, before I could buy the gasoline for my car".
I am totally off experiencing such problems.
@ShadowWizard You know my opinions about that. Instead of pumping money into the criminalization and the p'lice hunting adult weed users, that money could be well better spent for awareness training and general addiction prevention of juveniles.
there, you stopped intruding on the fundamental freedoms of the citizens, raised tax revenue, lowered consumption rates and saved a lot of money in not imprisoning people
and lowered crime because the illegal trade ain't there to fund it anymore
I dont even care myself I'm pretty strictly not using any drugs myself but the current system just screams ineffective
It seems like it's going to be many months until the legal distribution channels here can actually satisfy demand, so they're continuing to be tolerant of illegal distribution in the meanwhile, but I'm expecting a massive crack-down in ~a year.
@πάνταῥεῖ no I mean we regulate it like alcohol here in colorado. The same places and activities you're not allowed to be drunk at you're not allowed to be high at
@Mgetz Makes sense. Just wanted to clarify, because "decriminalization" is vague and I think in most places they still do have penalties for possession, just much lesser ones.
Speaking as a resident of a place where legalization has been in place for a few years ... Having a legal framework for growing and distribution is a huge win for everyone.
@SomethingBadHappened yes my point was that not everything should be legalized for distribution because it's extremely harmful and addictive. Those items should be controlled and distributed to addicts only
@Mgetz I feel very healthy regarding consumption of cannabis. I am grown up, I know what I do. Regardless, kids need to be informed what could go into unhealthy directions doing so. Also a juvenile brain might react in different ways, and serious harm could take place, when consuming cannabis. All of these things need to be sorted out in 1st place, rather than banning the substance at all.
Aye. Neither should be driving (I can't believe this is an argument that needs to be had, but I've had it so many times), but one is a lot more prone to cause problems than the other.
I get those too. I like to mess with them. "My car? Which one? You tell me the make and model and I'll give you more information so that we can renew that warranty". 90% of the time that gets them to hang up on me. When they don't though, then they find out I have either a 20 year old car with less than 1000 miles on it or a year old car with almost 200,000 miles. Or it's a really expensive car, or that I have a boat but not a car.
I really like those particular scammers. If they don't hang up, they get so flustered
@rene He made some vague comments about "looking into it" but it was pretty hedged.
@AndrasDeak It is. But IIUC in the Netherlands it's also that though there are many places for customers to buy it legally(ish?), those very stores have to buy it illegally.
