“Women aren’t discriminated against with pay, because they’re discriminated against all these other ways instead!”

Yeah I’ve probably watched the Expanse 4 times. I don’t know if I’d rather watch it again or read it again.

It’s just too bad they only made one season of that show. Netflix probably would have ruined a second season anyway by slashing the budget and miss casting the lead.

A person of culture. Though I’ve never watched the West Wing I approve of the rest.

Emby development is dead in the water. It works, it’s stable, but it’s treading water. And because it is partially closed source and not changing much the addon development community is not as robust. If you try it and it has what you want, it works just fine. But I want an active community making new features and developing add-ons and extending what I get out of it. I did not need premium to get a similar feature set out of Jellyfin, I am an experienced self hoster so I was able to switch without missing a beat. And now I can click a button to skip and intro, or the recap for the episode I just finished watching. And I can try the very large set of add-ons that are out there.

As someone with lifetime Emby premium, I switched to Jellyfin.

Publishers will at least retain the right to use AI audio books for themselves. And it’s much easier for an author to get a piece of something the publisher does than it is for them to get money for books Amazon recorded without their consent.

Yeah currently contracts require the author’s or publisher’s consent. If anyone is a writer make sure to triple check your contracts for this shit.

Hey, this person is trying to convince us the subway from Australia to Montana is fake! Then it must be real!

Again, drug users do not seek these drugs. Drug dealers seek them because stronger drugs are easier to smuggle in smaller amounts for the same street value as a much larger quantity of heroin.

And those people unfortunately aren’t going to be helped by prohibition either. In fact, prohibition will only make things much worse for them and everyone else. The knock on affects of prohibition are far worse than most people understand.

I do want to also ask, are you aware if there are any waiting periods whatsoever to get into treatment programs anywhere in your country? I find that in most countries at least somewhere there are prohibitive waiting lists.

The insurance industry is filling in this gap right now for cyber insurance. They are requiring a certain level of security before they will write a policy. Try doing business with any other company without a huge cyber insurance requirement in the contract.

No, it doesn’t. Still drug addicts, still drug dealers and violent gangs that import and sell drugs.

Good and great are used differently for a reason. It’s not really a semantic difference.

Exactly, those drugs are sought after because smuggling small amounts of them is much easier than smuggling larger amounts of heroin.

Black markets, drug markets, gang violence, the warehousing of impoverished people who get drawn in to all that. Nothing but bad comes from prohibition.

How’s that working out? Prohibition has never done anything for addiction.

No, I’m talking about legalization. I said legalized, I meant legalized. Drug treatment programs should be ubiquitous, available, and free.

Good thing I didn’t use the word great, and I’m talking about the cars they made in the 30s and 40s hence the past tense of “made.”

Legalize all drugs. Move 100% of the enforcement funds into drug treatment programs. And then tax them and put that towards treatment programs.
