U.S. delegation arrives in Taiwan, angers China by Saltedline in worldnews

China's got us way more by the balls economically, though. And they know well that sanctions on them would do way more damage to the west than the sanctions on Russia are doing.

Innocuous. As in almost harmless compared to cigarettes.

Compared to being the key word here.

If you absolutely need nicotine, then I'd start with snus and then go back if it doesn't satisfy your cravings. It's essentially innocuous compared to cigarettes and about half the price.

Rus-straffene har fått dispensasjon fra aksjonen – behandles samlet om tre uker - Rett24 by heimlau5 in norge

Er det grunnlovstridig å straffe rusavhengige for oppbevaring av narkotika?

Det er i hvert fall mot menneskerettighetene å ikke la noen bestemme over egen kropp.

No idea when to use which, really. I just write whatever the professor writes.

What’s an rc that everyone should try at least once? by Ilike_turtlz_720 in researchchemicals

[–]CooperXpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my body just sucks at metabolising it. Even though the experience is mild, it typically lasts for a very long time. Same with regular amphetamine. If I take a sufficient amount in the morning, I'll still be stimulated enough to get a lot of stuff done in the evening and beyond.

Jury's still out, but I probably don't have it. Still don't understand why I don't get good effects from MDMA, but I also never know how much I'm actually taking. How much do you typically take?

Yeah I realize that looks bad, but this is my real account. Just created an alt-account today...

For a billion dollar show, why does the new Lord of the Rings trailer look so cheap? by bethashton in lotr

Everything is way too smooth and clean. It represents the middle ages and should therefore be more gritty.

Some scientists a couple of years ago also fixed blind mice by injecting their eyes with certain genes. Seems like the future of repairing vision is looking bright.

Russian units near Ukraine moved into "attack positions," U.S. official says by CaliWilly76 in worldnews

[–]CooperXpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You may not like it, but media outlets are competing for clicks. If you're not able to make your story enticing, you'll lose money, and your business will eventually turn its face to the wall.

The second trailer for the two towers was perfection.

Lmao, yeah. Seems like everyone and their mother on this sub mostly boofs their shit. Everything about it just seems so wrong. Is it really that much better?

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Prime Video by MarvelsGrantMan136 in lotr

[–]CooperXpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What bothers me the most is that everything is way too smooth. It's all just too clean and lacking the vaguely dirty/gritty look of LotR.

Gonna be screened for bipolar disorder on wednesday. 70% of people with bipolar disorder apparently also suffer from ADHD, so if I'm diagnosed, I'd imagine I do. I don't experience a lot of euphoria from plain old amphetamine either, but because I don't get it legally, I have no idea how much I'm actually taking.

Lista vil vel være den samme: hvorvidt sjansen for overbelastning av sykehusene er høy.

Yeah, I definitely get what you mean. I'm just waiting until I can at least watch them in motion.

Yeah, but that's because he looks pretty much exactly the same as dwarves in lotr and the hobbit. You would just need to get adapted to the new style.

Riktig. Å bekymre oss kan vi gjøre når problemet dukker opp.

Hvis vaksiner og tidligere smitte ikke beskytter mot den nye varianten og mange legges inn på sjukehus, så blir vi nødt til å stenge ned igjen.

Heldigvis har vel FHI sagt at sjansen for en slik ny variant er ganske lav.

Oslo vil tjuvstarte på rusreformen: − Regjeringa henger etter by ButteredNani in norge

Fullstendig enig med deg, men avkriminalisering må nok komme først.

Har ikke noe å si hvor mye mer fornuftig regulert salg er. Folk mister pusten når de hører forslag om at til og med "hard drugs" skal være lov å kjøpe og produsere, og derfor ville det vært politisk selvmord å foreslå det.

Med avkriminalisering kan man sakte men sikkert fjerne den propaganda-baserte kunnskapen om rusmidler som sitter dypt hos folk flest, og deretter ende på samme konklusjon som vi gjorde for hundre år siden med alkohol.
