- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 week ago:
Yea holy shit I’d assumed it would cost more. Gonna need a better analogy.

Pot is rarely laced.
Be like selling jet fuel at red bull prices. Makes no fiscal sense.

I was into Parkour back in the day (Any other geezers member UFF?) and spent a lot of time on UK based forums. Chavs were definitely a thing.
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 2 weeks ago:
Few things with the car analogy. You don’t purchase a care for a term. Even tho they come with a warranty. Cars have manufacturing standards, as do the regions they are legal to operate in; the existence of these standards is what substantiates lemon and bait and switch laws.
You’re forgetting impeachment. If someone commits crimes they can be impeached - and has been done despite recent top of mind events.
This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits.
You’re conflating changing people mid term with changing people at their regular term intervals. As an American you rarely experience elections outside their scheduled interval. As a Canadian I can assure you that elections do interrupt things especially when you have to go to the polls repeatedly. We had federal elections 2 years apart in 2019/2021 and it was largely a pointless expense that served only to reset the governments 5 year window to call the next election.
Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”
No its not. Whataboutism is pointing the finger at someone else to deflect. Logically if we elected someone who is doing such a bad job that we need to recall them, it is possible we could do that again.
A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching
I think thats the case. I’m Canadian and recall elections are possible for anyone given the constituants follow a multi step process leading to a recall vote.

Because that’s what terms are for. You elect people for a term.

Elections cost taxpayer money. Every single district potentially have an election at anytime would necessitate a significant contingency fund in any budget.

Changing leadership interrupts things with no guarantees. What if the new guy is even worse?

Good to know. Lasted a year on some crappy amazon batteries so I think it’s turned off.

That’s my only gripe with my ONN box… the remote gets updates. seems sus. But I don’t give it microphone permissions so hopefully that’s sufficient.

I’m probably wrong but I could swear I messaged them on reddit years ago to ask if they’d release a generalized quit addiction app and they basically said they only cared about nofap.

Maybe youre too young to remember when iTunes charged $15 for a digital album.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 4 weeks ago:
Unpopular opinion but youtube + music is good value.
But my journey here was unique.
I grew up during the era when ipods / mp3 players incentivized having personal libraries of music files. After itunes became hostile towards that I switched to Google Music which allowed you to upload music files and stream them to your devices. It was great because I had some obscure remixes and indy band albums that I’d lost the CD for years ago.Ended up paying for Google Music after a 3 month trial.
Eventually Google Music became Youtube Music and with it came Youtube Premium. Tried Spotify but it didn’t have some artists that I can’t remember now anyways. So I just kept paying for youtube music and not seeing ads on youtube.
