Donald Trump on Tuesday pardoned the creator of Silk Road, a dark-web marketplace where people sold heroin, cocaine, LSD, and other illicit drugs by using cryptocurrency to keep the transactions anonymous and avoid being caught by law enforcement.

    I similarly don’t like when bad people want bad things to happen and then get those bad things happen, so I think we’re in agreement. Bad things happening gets a 0/10 in my book. Maybe next time we can have more good people and less bad people involved. Fingers crossed lmao.

      I think the system is extremely, fundamentally flawed. You disagree. That’s fine. You like things the way they are. I don’t. I think radical changes are necessary.

        FWIW, that last comment was actually not intended to be sarcastic. I agree with you. The lmao was directed at the idea that next time the electorate will massively shift towards good people with good aims. I didn’t wanna not respond, but I didn’t have much to add, so I thought I’d top it off by saying I agree with you, but it obviously came across the wrong way. Trust me, would love to see some radical change, but unfortunately I know the direction it’s going to actually happen in. Good luck out there. We’re all gonna need it.
