@DrDiGiorgio And yes, that includes more extreme stuff. As a society you can collectively conclude right and wrong and punish people that do moral wrong, but forcing people pre-emptively into a moral choice permanently with no will of their own is how you strip the world of philosophy.

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@DrDiGiorgio I am pretty morally agonistic. I do good by others and don't dive deeper than that because it is all subjective, but ONE stance I have is that you shouldn't force others to believe in your same moral construct, that gets dangerous fast, no matter how immoral something may seem.

@CultureCrave I just came here to say... Why is there a big cube of jelly...

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@MarkoMatvikov I am not kidding... There is no legislation, regulation or law that puts an age restriction on nicotine, just cigarettes and vapes. They just don't want people to know. Just read the back of a pack of nicotine gum and says "not to be used under 12 without professional guidance"

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@MarkoMatvikov In fact we have made it harder to access vapes than cigarettes at the same time by making it an S3/S4 medication and they are cracking down on vape stores so soon will be the only way. Why regulate vapes so heavily but then have no age restriction on nicotine sprays...

@tylerblack32 Unfortunately while that is true, most don't follow that ideology, hence the craziness you see on X and when you explain, they refuse to listen. I and most I know have also experieced this personally.

Its hard to keep your ego in check when you are meant to be the expert.

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@DulithHerath Problem is, most don't have the awareness to know where they lie on that scale even if they think they do.

@npparikh But I do agree that reduced reading ability and literacy rates is either going to lead to far less qualified people, OR major grade inflation to compensate and therefore devaluing the qualification.

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@npparikh At the same time. I currently am doing very well in my studies due to being able to absorb things quickly but with how expensive life is, I have to work 25-30hrs/week on top of full-time study and I am paycheck to paycheck with little expenditure. I dont have time for it.

@ZKForTre Am I able to request your work on the HPA Axis? It can be through private DM if you don't want to share publict. I am a pharmacy student and have been learning and curious about it for many years.

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@tylerblack32 I feel its like any contrary stance they stand on some basic points but the only way to bring attention to them is to express extreme views, to draw in supporters and outrage haters. Sure there probably are doctors who believe exactly this but I think a lot is just a performance

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@Noahpinion You would be comparing within country over time, within category over time, between category over time, between country over time, country change vs category change over time all in one. It wouldnt be causal but it would basically be the strongest correlational data you could get

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@Noahpinion Couldn't you simply look at poverty rates in countries overall and then map out high/low poverty countries, how they compare, and then find poor countries that have developed over that period and check their crime rate and compare the change to countries still poor or still rich?

@RudeOnion Meanwhile where I live, a bit closer to the city with two housemates, in a house that is probably mid-range, it is up 30%!!! in 18 months to almost $1.5M. We will be forced out by price. In inflation adjusted dollars all 3 of us have had a drop in income during this same time.

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@RudeOnion If he was to rent it would be estimated to be around $30k/year. Meaning at an $80k/year income, half of his money would go to rent post tax, and that is for a small 2 bedroom house in a bad suburb on a flood plain.

@KeaganJY @edbyrd430 @colorblindk1d Came here to say the same lol

[RedDrift @ReddDrift]

@MugenLord I really liked FF16, but mainly because of the story and the feel of the combat. As soon as I saw how levelling up is an automatic thing that gives you no choice and any sort of crafting is really dumbed down I was a little dissapointed because it could have been incredible.
