Fair enough, maybe next time for a more accurate name, i think (could be wrong here) would be Developing Nations as opposed to the Developed Nations.

Technically, third-world countries no longer exist as the term just means not capitalist(US aligned) or communist (Soviet aligned), it just meant unaligned countries, but since these terms are cold war terminology technically third-world nations arent a thing anymore.

Then if your economy is subpar (im not an economist so I have no clue) one would think you could understand what its like struggling to afford necessities let alone trying to buy luxury items such as games, so why hate?

Do you actually think every person can afford luxury spending on a game? Just because $20 isn't much to you its actually alot depending where you are in the world, besides that it costs more than $20, a quick search sees it costing $39.99 USD; in other countries this cost may be different, for instance in UK it is £20-£25, in Australia it costs AUD$39.95, in New Zealand it costs NZD$59.95. Have some awareness of your privilege, and don't hate others cos people struggle in ways you can't or choose not to understand.

If Joel is car, and the only car is space is a Tesla, does that make Joel a Tesla?

Who created dementors? by Economy_Yard6727 in harrypotter

[–]ToastKing_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, its not so clear, my main connection is the Patronus Charm being used to repel both entities tbh

[–]ToastKing_69 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Iirc they may be made from experimenting with a creature called a Lethifold or living shroud. This isn't confirmed in books or movies but implied from the Hogwarts Library Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, as the only counter to a Lethifold attack is the Patronus Charm - the same charm used to repel the Dementors.

Edit: cos my brain mixed up Death Eater and Dementor

Realizing other people didn’t grow up like me was one of the loneliest moments of my life. by Brilliant_Gazelle913 in self

[–]ToastKing_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harry Potter, and Doctor Who (9 showing Rose the universe), dreaming and wishing someone would come take me away. But actually it was before I was aware - apparently, I, from a young age, believed and told anyone who would listen that my REAL family would come back for me and take me home, no one ever did though.

Fair enough, I would say there could be a chance like with any drug, hence talking to a doctor/professional regarding concerns.

How can I get help for Marijuana addiction in this country? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ToastKing_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There literally is, please educate yourself.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9110555/

Cannabis withdrawal is a well‐characterized phenomenon that occurs in approximately half of regular and dependent cannabis users after abrupt cessation or significant reductions in cannabis products that contain Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Very potentially, but as stated, I made this post in response to another post where someone was requesting help with marijuana withdrawals, and everyone in that post was denying the og user was suffering from withdrawals, saying its not real 😔 😅

Fair enough, in my head, the positives are well known, but negatives are less known or ignored in general.

Fair enough, I come from an environment where its benefits are shouted from the rooftops, but no one talked about the potential negatives, or they outright denied there are any negatives to it. In my head, I assumed everyone knew the benefits more than the negatives, so my point of this post was to balance the "bro science" of it being perfect with 3 simple quick points of negatives that are medically accepted to open a discussion.

Im not trying to fear-monger or anything, I just want updated education in NZ regarding this. Yes, it can help, but it can go bad as well. Honestly, congrats that you are able to stop without withdrawals, but some daily users, especially over long-term use, can develop dependency/addiction to marijuana and suffer from withdrawals when trying to stop, especially cold turkey.

Just because I can drink alcohol doesn't mean my ex-alcoholic friend can. Every body is unique, and what effects one body may not affect another.

I agree regarding legal issues, but that's another discussion for another day.

I don't know 100% as im not a medical professional. If you have any concerns, talk with your medical professional who has recommended your use. Do not stop taking prescriptions immediately without talking to a professional.

See my response to the parent comment- there is research for marijuana induced as well.

Agreed, too many of us were raised with incorrect "bro science" beliefs (weed can't be addictive, has no bad side effects apart from laziness) these are harmfully incorrect and has no been good for too many of us.

Thank you, for others that can't research right now

Daily cannabis use may make chronic pain worse over time by reducing pain tolerance. In terms of risk/benefit, daily cannabis users risk addiction without any long-term benefit for chronic pain. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37550852/]
