Thorium’s OK too.

Anyone not goose-stepping in jackboots is a dangerous leftie to them.

IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic.

It’s a dissociative. Its effects are more like PCP than like alcohol. I wouldn’t use the term “psychedelic” for its effects-- the biochemical pathways are different as well.

Heard it messes up your bladder.

The metabolites burn your bladder severely enough that you can end up pissing blood. The body load seems to be high as well, frequent users look grey and washed-out, and it damages your cognition.

Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term.

I’ve known a few. They started fiending like junkies, lost jobs, destroyed relationships. It’s a dirty drug and, unless you’re getting professional treatment for PTSD, the best advice I can give is to avoid it and to avoid people who use it.

If it’s anything but fasc or bootlicker content, they’ve been trying to ban it.

their Reddit moderation is handled by AI

They also have a number of fascist mods who abuse their authority to arbitrarily ban anyone saying something they don’t like.

Agreeing with something the owners don’t like.

Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.

It’s a privately owned platform. You never have an assurance of free speech on any of those, and on Reddit, the rot set in years ago.

Nobody elected the mods or the admins. And the management has shown itself to be, at least, MAGA-adjacent.

Start with the propaganda outlets and think tanks.

It depends on how effective Russia is in subverting the EU countries from within. Every one of those countries has quislings like Orban.

Lenin

Some would say that’s where the rot set in.

The only consistency Trump has ever shown is being an asshole, and being a Russian stooge.

If she really cared about mean-spirited and hurtful behavior, she could goad Trump into having a stroke.

Nobody likes being backstabbed.

The word “permanent” here is meaningless. Any later Congress can roll this back if they so choose.

And is the size of a jumbo jet but with zero cargo or passenger capacity.

Yeah, the comparison is pointless. Supercomputers are general-purpose computers. Quantum computers aren’t. It’s like saying “look, bullet is faster than semi-truck!” when someone cares about cargo-carrying capacity.

Not to mention heavy-handed interference in politics.

The question for me is why didn’t our intelligence services - who want to spy on everybody all the time - understand the risks and inform former governments to prepare?

How do you know they didn’t?

There’s a faction that wants to emulate the Republicans: Badenoch, Braverman, Truss, to name a few.
