I don’t think many people are saying that kratom doesn’t have legitimate uses in providing an off ramp or mitigation against more serious opioids, or that people shouldn’t have the right to use it if they want to and are informed of the risks. My understanding of John Oliver’s segment was that there is an astounding lack of any regulation or quality control. If anything I thought the argument he made paralleled the arguments that are usually made in favor of legalization, it’s just that in this case the drug is already legal but almost completely unregulated so scams are rampant.

Yeah same I drink very moderately now but once upon a time that bottle would be significantly less than one normal weekend night out, or a fairly difficult weeknight.

Grey is definitely in the wrong, that’s exactly when you should have used a white lie but they were being a huge dick.

Inglorious Bastards

Same here, but it was really easy to just make a new account on a new instance. You never know when your instance will go down (like Lemmy NSFW or, more recently, piefed.social) so you might as well just make a new one and try not to get too attached to any particular iteration of your account. And besides, karma actually means nothing here!

Here’s a good on-point article from an anarchist that hasn’t lost her mind like these morons: https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretkilljoy/p/forget-the-conspiracies?r=t57p3

Yeah, at this point it’s devolved into some weird liberal purity test for the less serious people. I hate it.

That’s fair, if it’s So Flo it’s literally swamp water lol

They said Massachusetts lol. I get that everyone has different taste but I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone else that described the water there as impossible to swallow. But I believe them, I thought the water in Poland tasted bad and I’m sure that was largely just because of what I was used to.

Correct. Apparently our side is as full of morons as the populist right. We’re cooked.

These people are so incredibly fucking stupid. It’s been wild watching the people I agree with slowly start to sound like the Rush-Limbaugh-guzzling halfwits I grew up with. Even if they’re right in the end, their reasons for arriving at this conclusion are just impossibly childish.

Blue Anon has taken over. Zero critical thought, all confirmation bias.

It’s just how they were. That’s like asking “why are they all screenshots underneath plain text on a white background?” re memes now.
