Ah yes western values and institutions like murder, rape, theft, and gratuitous violence.

Everyone who’s against that must want Sharia Law. 😂

Apple developers drunk-coding: loading a simple image can "lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing a hacker to gain access to the operating system with a simple picture."

It's 2023.

This is unacceptable for any operating system.

@djsumdog @CattleBaron @bot I think we should decriminalize all drugs, and then legalize and regulate them.

If something can be classified as too dangerous to deal with commercially, well, maybe exceptions should be made. I’m not an expert on fentanyl. I’ve heard it’s dangerous in very low doses, but maybe that means that it needs to be regulated in a way that manufactures address that problem if for some reason there’s still a demand after most opiates are legal.

@djsumdog @CattleBaron @bot It is hypocritical to jail people for selling while allowing people to consume and grow it themselves. The regulation of alcohol and cigarettes in America are a huge success. Let’s do that for everything else, and combine it with a strong public education & healthcare element, while banning advertising.

The United States government creates drug cartels thanks to its drug war laws.

Why are we doing this?

Here is #AlexJones posting an idiotic poll for his #InfoWars readers.

Note how it's not interested in solving the problem, but in creating more problems.

@CattleBaron Cartels going around engaging in gun fights and doing all kinds of other very bad things

@bot @CattleBaron It's kind of implied by the OP. Get rid of the drug war laws, and replace them with something better

@bot @CattleBaron Yes, those laws.

@bot @CattleBaron I live there! 😂

Have you ever heard of prohibition?

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika “Brainwashed” is a combination of lacking the the right information and a type of emotional cementing of disinformation that prevents them from considering alternative viewpoints even when made aware of conflicting information

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika Copying my agreement on this point: https://mstdn.io/@taoeffect/110335012995173377

@Hyolobrika @thatguyoverthere I don’t think I said that, and if I implied it my bad. If you are brainwashed and don’t realize it, it doesn’t make you a bad person, just a fool, and we’ve all played that part at one point or another. However, a fool, through their ineptitude, can perpetuate an injustice without realizing it.

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika Someone is responsible for 9/11, right? These people were never brought to Justice. And we’ve got assholes on HackerNews spouting nonsense -> knowingly or unknowingly participating in coverup

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika I am saying the killing of ~3k people + the framing of two other countries + the coverup + the lack of justice, is a grave injustice

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika Oh, if that’s the case ok. But it’s not an opinion. Calling it an opinion is like saying 1+1=2 is an opinion, or that “America is a country” is an opinion, etc.

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika You know what, I’ll even allow “America is a country” is an opinion if you think physics and Newton’s Laws of gravity are an opinion. At that point the word opinion starts to lose its meaning. Whether I think chocolate tastes great (an opinion) becomes equivalent to saying gravity is real. Ok, if you want to think that those are the same order of thing, well, again, not much I can say to you.

@Hyolobrika If you think there’s no injustice with respect to 9/11, well, I really don’t have anything to say to you.

@Hyolobrika More like “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”, and I’m not the type to march in the streets
