I agree there’s no need to exaggerate.

But it is worrying anyway. It’s very much play-by-play from Hitler’s playbook.

Suppress opposition while getting a force which simps for you and challenges normal authorities.

And I probably Jimmy Carr, because YouTube kept pushing his shorts.

I googled this Hovind fella and you’re right, I can see that as well.

I actually thought he looked liked Jimmy Carr

Can you understand that I see a fluffy animal I’d like to pet despite thinking it’s not immoral to eat them?

Because I don’t think you do. And if you want more people reducing the amount of (factory farmed) meat they eat and/or supporting vegan products, perhaps don’t paint eveyone who eats meat as a “someone only capable of seeing burgers and leather belts”.

I have a leather jacket. It’s older than me. It’s from the 70’s or perhaps even 60’s. It’s still in good condition because I take care of it. How many plastic (polyester) jackets have you gone through in the last 20 odd years? Because those hurt mother nature both directly and indirectly. How often do have you used an airplane? What’s your carbon footprint? Despite me eating meat, I guarantee mine is lower than yours.

But that’s okay, because you’re not capable of equating indirect harm to anything you contribute to, no, it’s only the evil “carnists” who just can’t be nice to animals or even ever really feel happiness from the gut wrenching hunger to consume animal flesh they must be suffering from all the time.

Or maybe this is the streaker winning his bet, hmm?

You’re not wrong, cash does have more mistakes, but it evens out at the end, since you usually make mistakes both ways. Cash is riskier, yeah. But it’s also a lot cheaper depending on what the services and machines cost.

I remember a time when people were hesitant to use cards for small payments, and some places wouldn’t take them for small purchases.

Then cards became more popular and in recent years cash has been going away at least here, when it used to be that you had to be able to take cash.

But yeah mistakes happen with cards as well. They’re just way harder to fix from the client end. (Client as in the company/person using a card machine to charge someone something.)

But yeah it’s marginally easier to just take card payments but you have to keep the receipts from those as well just like you need to keep cash so there’s not that much of a difference in very small scales. (Like driving a taxi.) The bigger the scale the more it matters.

Well at least our Finnish national dish is still traditional. Take cubed beef and pork. Put them in water. Add salt. Put on heat for a sufficient amount of time.

That’s it.

Fancy modern versions have peppers and whatnot but traditionally it’s just salt.

I think the chain should be the length of half the width of your opponents shield, or thereabouts. That’s just me guessing and I’m no nerd about medieval warfare.

Flails are apparently kinda shit but prolly work against shields.

That’s more of a neologism, whereas “evilness” veers more toward the archaic.

Yeah, but not worse than just “bad”, whereas “evilness” sounds worse compared to just “evil.”

My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn’t exactly speak vernacular either.

So just because something sounds a tad off doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. And in a lot of cases it’s the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.

I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.

However couldn’t not Google it, and it may be on purpose.

evilness

noun

evil·​ness

: the quality of being evil : badness

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness

While it does sound better with just “evil”, I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace “evilness” with “badness”, it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just “inequality creates bad”. Ofc you can’t compare directly like that, I’m just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven’t historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we’re just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.

I’m no languinolologist.

Well it is.

And it’s not a secret either.

Trump is Putin’s lapdog and Putin just wants to destabilise US and EU to level the playing field for Russia.

Often Russian campaigns aim to disrupt domestic politics within Europe and the United States in an attempt to weaken the West

Russia seeks to promote American isolationism, border security concerns and racial tensions within the United States through its disinformation campaigns

It’s cheaper per dose, not per kg.

You only need micrograms to have a good time whereas with amphetamines it’s decigrams.

And even if the motivation was in place, again, it’d be harder to pass of meth as lsd than it would be to pass milky chocolate as water.

They’d just have some buzz and a somewhat psychedelic effect from whatever they were sold. I’m not convinced you yourself got real lsd, if you think it’s cheaper than other drugs.

I’ve done literally every single drug you can even imagine. You just clearly have no experience if you think anyone even slightly experienced could be fooled to take meth as lsd.

I’m not exaggerating with “it’d be harder to pass hot chocolate as water”.

Do you seriously have trouble with the concept of why mixing flour into coke is beneficial for the dealer’s bottom line?

That’s not adulteration, you donkey. That’s the dealer ensuring noobs like you don’t kill themselves while also increasing their profits. And if you put flour in your meth and sold it, you’d have less fingers in a week. What you use is much better and less noticeable substances. I know which ones, I’ve done it. It’s about adding non-psychoactive, non-harmful substances, so your users don’t notice nor get sick so they actually come back.

Although kids like you, when you cut shit, even if you didn’t use flour but what we actually use, you’d cut it too much and get caught because you have no understanding of what you’re on about.

Unless youre getting some stone hard soap bar from the Russians, yeah, you can actually taste if there is or isn’t something added to your weed. Just like you would if I dipped your cigarette in petrol and let it dry out before you smoked it. It would be painfully obvious it’s adulterated.

And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?

Afaik various random amphetamines are most often sold as molly and especially lsd

Why would you sell someone amphetamines as lsd? First off, LSD is cheaper, by a lot. Secondly, you use them in completely different ways and one is stinky af and the other is completely tasteless. It’d be like trying to pass off coffee as hot chocolate. Do the drinks have some vague similarity and a person who doesn’t know what either means could be mistaken? Yeah.

But anyone who’s ever had a cup of coffee wouldn’t.

especially lsd, which latter is reportedly completely impossible to find for real in the parts of the world where I am, except maybe for a thousand bucks a tab.

Well sounds like you’re in, idk, some Asian country with extremely harsh drug laws? Even so, you could order it by post for 20 dollars a tab. You’d have to pay in crypto and there’s not a guarantee it makes it there, but just because you don’t know any sellers doesn’t mean it’s not there’s. You just don’t have the connections.

Completely depends on where you’re from and who you’re buying from, but not that I’ve ever seen.

“lacing” drugs as a concept is about as reasonable as reefer madness.

What on Earth would be the point of poisoning your customers?

It’s not like MDMA is that hard to synthesise that there’s some sort of evil cabal of drug manufacturers who just all decide to poison a supply.

Stop listening to propaganda. But also, be mindful of what you’re doing. That’s why testing points are quite common in more progressive countries.

Because while “lacing drugs” is completely idiotic, selling for instance carfentanyl as MDMA is something that could very well happen.
