@hj@Polychrome@Moon it's more like, there is someone who works at the treasury and they are dreaming up the behavior of the next new savings bond, or there is someone who works at a bank and they are trying to get checking accounts to interface to some other payment network. but now we can just do that kind of creative activity at home without having a particular employer and nobody needs permission. yes, very nerdy and most people don't care, but it's totally different from price speculation.
@hj@Polychrome@Moon there are price speculators and there are people trying to build financial instruments. the one person just wants more money in the end and the other person just wants their contraption to work.
@bot@dcc@Tony@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino I have received dilaudid in the emergency room, which is better than heroin. I know exactly what would happen. and I still have oxycodone and hydrocodone left over. why do you think I haven't used it for fun?
@pressure@dcc@colonelj@a7@Kirino@bot >People who develop drug dependencies already have something wrong with them right >something something oops now we have a totalitarian state but at least crack is no longer available wrong, and this doesn't fix anyone's underlying problems either
@bot@dcc@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino what do you think happens with a person who decides to begin smoking crack? they are a perfect little angel, and it transforms them into a completely different person? people know what crack is. if a person decides to take up smoking crack, they already have something wrong with them. I have seen this in person.
@bot@dcc@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino yes, they are just like dogs being force-fed pills crushed in with their beef pâté. listen, I don't care enough to understand how your theory of mind works, but people have agency. no matter how much coke is in your system, you're the one who decides to beat your wife.
@bot@dcc@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino you are removing agency from these people. they are not helpless victims being ravaged passively. they made a choice.
@bot@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino when a person says "we need to ban this and that and the other thing because it's heckin bad for you" what I hear them say is "I am an animal and I have no self control and you're an animal too because there's no way you're any better than me so let's all get put on a leash together and get this over with." you are a dumb animal and it's time to stop playing pretend.
@bot@pressure@colonelj@a7@Kirino when it comes to adult porn, I'm one of those don't like it don't look at it types. I think that if you can't look at any porn without it causing you to have a problem, the problem isn't the porn, it's you, and I don't feel comfortable with sacrificing any freedoms to accommodate anyone who has this weakness. you show porn too much respect.
