400 grand seems cheap to me for 2kg of uranium.

I did. I was born in Chicago. I fucked off to Europe a couple years ago, to the Netherlands.

In many ways superior to the US, no doubt.

But if I’m being honest? Same-ish problems. Perhaps, a smaller scale. I’ve been fortunate to see much of the world, at least far more than the average natural-born US citizen.The same societal sicknesses in America pervade the globe.

Certainly, the US is a dumpster-fire, but it’s not the only trash receptacle that’s ablaze at the moment, and it definitely didn’t start there, historically.

Good. Well, bad, long-term, but the Gaming Journalism industry deserves it for their unabashed corporate glazing for favors.

P.S. Downvotes don’t change reality.

It’s not even an allegiance to “National Socialism” or the NSDAP, per se.

Some people are aroused by the prospect of telling people, with impunity, that they or their group are in charge of everything forever and everyone has to applaud it on pain of torture and death.

They have a perverse, sometimes sexual, stimulation at the prospect of threatening, abusing, and submitting people to their doctrine of what they unilaterally deem to be the natural order of things.

Simply put, they feed, at every level, on the pain and misery they cause.

As I said, the benefit is an altered consciousness and/or perception to provide new insight and avenues of introspection on one’s being, life path, and composition of their ontology.

Alcoholism causes cancer, alcohol is the most easily abused drug, and the heavy legislation was even heavier in times past (it was banned outright during the prohibition era in the US) and had disastrous consequences for the public.

And I’m not even trying to argue to ban alcohol; statistically it is the “worst” societally by many metrics.

Your banal puritanism has been tried before.

“It’s not that I must always have a lot. I must always have more than everyone else. Forever. And everyone else must show their enthusiasm about me having the most.”

Crack is not the only “drug” in the world.

And by the way, if we’re going to make drugs illegal in the way you want it, let’s start with alcohol and nicotine, the worst of them all.

That’s been tried before, by the way. It didn’t go very well.

One can alter their consciousness or perception thereof. That doesn’t release them from their responsibilities.

You’re flailing.

Sometimes I have a bad premonition that all of the cosmos is a giant hell for the old ones to relentlessly and perpetually torture, kill, and reincarnate the souls whose emotional and physical suffering are what sustain said elder extra-dimensional deities.

No lives matter, and that’s a fact.

• Cthulhu

A poor, brown, Jew.

He’d be called a cultural-Marxist-self-hating-<insertJewishSlurHere> and deported to South Sudan by ICE, after getting beaten relentlessly at some internment camp.

To start, a state of altered consciousness to help consider different viewpoints when reflecting about the choices one has made in life and the how that affects the constitution of one’s personality.

Solar-system-wide, picometer-deep reasoning there, ace.

Also, “mamoth” is spelled with 3 m’s (“mammoth”).

I prefer death.

That’s my point. Being a true insertReligiousFundamentalistPhilosophyHere is near impossible and incompatible with modern societal standards of behaviour and jurisprudence based on their ontological and epistemological claims.

Do you believe it’s fine for you to decide who gets to “live with drugs”? If the state says it’s okay to “live with drugs”, do you believe that you should be able to supersede the mandate of the state?

You are right. Because if there were true Christians, they would get rid of all their belongings and prepare for the rapture and return of the Messiah. Not to mention all the other prescriptions from the Bronze Age that none of them follow.

I actually prefer this interpretation and will adjust my comment.

It’s unreal how uncatholic unchristian irreligious most catholics christians religious people are.

Obesity signals authority to others due to the implied access to abundant food.

Yep.
