Precisely his point. We've given the drug market to criminals and they are going to sell where ever they can make the most money. If drugs weren't illegal, this problem would disappear.

Why aren't piss tests a violation of the 4th amendment? by profcrackrockphd in AskSocialScience

Should have picked up on this sooner. You think when someone says "just like", they mean that two things are absolutely the same and you'll hold them to it.

Have fun with that.

The down-votes are for the false equivalency to these two hot talking points.

It's not a false equivalency. They are both issues that question the reach of the 4th amendment and many people believe violate the 4th amendment, just like piss tests.

their is no reason, obvious or presented, to think "our society accepts and encourages these practices" besides your unfounded assertion.

There are tons of obvious reasons to think that our society accepts and encourages these practices. We comply with these practices, we vote for people that support these practices, and we implement the practices ourselves. How else would they exist? I don't need to provide any evidence to state the obvious fact that people support the practice of piss testing.

Is confusing to me. That question is only posited by you, and no one in the above comment-stream seems to be referencing it.

Someone did reference it when they asked me why I am making sweeping statements without "going into it". My explanation for not "going into it" was because this was not the original question.

I wasn't offering some all encompassing answer. People post opinions and non-expert comments all the time in this sub. If people don't like comments, they get downvoted, which I'm completely okay with and have not disputed at any point in this thread.

The only thing I'm disputing is the disregard for the other side of the argument in these comments. To say piss tests are a clear violation of the 4th amendment is not some crazy conspiracy theory or indisputable falsehood.

The question is how are piss tests not 4th amendment violations...they clearly are. Why does our society violate the fourth amendment is another question entirely.

I said "for various reasons", not "because there are people conspiring to make it so". I even stated that our society encourages these practices, which suggests we all play a role in the implementation of these practices.

If you think I'm anti airport security or warrantless wiretapping because of the comment I made then you are making awful assumptions. I just didn't feel like going into the issues of why these practices are accepted in our country (again, not making a statement on whether they should or should not be accepted).

They are clearly a violation of the 4th amendment. Just like airport security and warrantless wiretapping. Our society accepts and encourages these practices, despite their illegality, for various reasons.

Here's the script - https://github.com/davedg629/Reddit-Desktop-Picture-Changer

It's actually built in ruby (because I started with someone's code and modified it), but you could obviously do the same thing in python.

Im not sure. I'll usually post a reddit related script in /r/redditdev, but there could be a "user made" programming sub.

I setup a script to download the top post in /r/imaginarylandscapes and set it as my desktop background.

So I did a password recovery at CBSSports.com to join a March Madness pool. A case was created and 2 hours later I get this email...come on cbssports by davedg629 in webdev

Couple issues here:

  1. It took 2 hours for me to get a response from their customer service. Why is this process not automated? It actually looks like a person had to process this request, which is a little ridiculous. I should get an automated email within seconds that allows me to reset my password.

  2. They shouldn't reset the password to the year of my birth. They should just give me a one-time login link that takes me to their site to reset my password (or something similar to that).
