Just to add to your (excellent) comment; in the UK you can be prescribed medical marijuana but it has to be done by a consultant level doctor and a multi disciplinary trial. The most important disqualifying factor is any history of psychosis, if they see that on your medical records they will not write you a prescription.
So I would a assume there is some published medical literature they are following which states cannabis exacerbates the symptoms of psychosis.
I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, "why not join your friend _____ with nitro" or something.
Absolutely not, don't use my name to shill to people I respect.
So my understanding is that they are the second strongest, but still at around 20% the other German parties formed a coalition that froze Afd out of power. So they are still a threat in future elections, but they have limited impact on policy for now.
Is that correct or have I got the wrong idea?
The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.
The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.
Even if you don't buy into this logic, you still have to do it in quite a few places because the security auditors have a line in their checklist about being able to extract any internal information from error pages
"A Line in the Sand" by James Barr is a good book on the topic, it goes into how the rivalry between Britain and France wound up with them attempting to carvr up the middle east between them after the fall of the ottoman empire.
War and destabilisation of the Arabian population was the outcome, but I think it is highly reductive to say it was the intent, for one that would imply some level of cooperation beteen the colonial powers against the native populations when they regarded each other as bitter enemies and didn't really regard the people of the middle east at all.
Every step taken by Britain and France was with the aim increase or secure their territory while undermining the other. A lot of these steps were training arming and funding of local military/gorillas/terrorists opposed to the other country, but usually these were inflaming and exploiting existing religious/ethnic/tribal tensions rather than manufacturing them from nothing or drafting into an officially military force, which has the unpleasant property that even after the colonial powers have departed, the trainings traditions and blood feuds continue.
Best of luck with the job search, linkedin is awful, but at-least the need for it passes.
"Big government" means thinking the government is bigger and more expensive than it needs to be.
When all the government needs to do is keep me happy then any program which I understand benefits me is vital and any which doesn't is "big government"
I think this is why the OP mentioned buy less stuff and travel less, these two directly reduce the demand for environmentally harmful goods and services, reducing the ecological impact of the companies which issue the shares that make the billionaires in question billionaires.
It's kinda disappointing to see a post about good actionable advice to do the best you can to reduce climate change and the first reply on Lemmy is non actionable (and more controversially; to my mind irrelevant) advice to assassinate billionaires.
? Why come up with a hypothetical outcome just to make yourself mad? Is there some trend of speedrunners ruining educational games I am missing?
As much as I dislike the fact that the "flagship" instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn't funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.
So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I'm donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can't stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn't use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support "better" rather than waiting for "perfect"
