That’s a nice pipedream, but why would airlines move to this system? They seem perfectly happy with the current system where you have to pay to change anything.

And the game thing doesn’t make sense. If the game shuts down, where are you going to use your NFT? There’s a few crappy crypto games that have tried making it so items are transferable, but for larger games it sounds like a nightmare to implement.

NFTs are like crypto, a solution in search of a problem. I’ll be honest, I’m anti-crypto and NFTs, but if a valid usecase presented itself I’d be happy to be wrong. I just haven’t seen it yet.

Why are you expecting it to last forever? It’s common for relapse to occur with mental illness.

Ugh, yeh I hate judgemental pharmacists. I take a couple of controlled substances, but I’ve found a pharmacy nearby where they are super nice and happy to have my business. Now my whole family goes there for all our pharmacy needs, even if the shitty chain discount place might be a little cheaper.

People say negative things about that? That’s crazy, people are judgmental about stupid shit.

Lol I would bet the majority of that crap is from just normal people.

The article isn’t about what you think.

There is a middle ground. The FDA shouldn’t have the power to ban a product from the market. They should be able to publish their recommendations, however, and people who trust them can choose to follow those recommendations. Others should be free to publish their own recommendations, and some people will choose to follow those instead.

That’s putting too much responsibility on the average person, who doesn’t have the time to become educated enough in biology and pharmacology to understand what every potentially harmful product may do to them. What if they never even hear the FDA recommendation?

Also, though you’d like to think this would only harm the individual in question who purchases a harmful product, there are many ways innocent third parties could be harmed through this. Teratogens are just one example.

This kind of laissez-faire attitude just doesn’t work in the real world. There’s a reason we ban overtly harmful substances.

Car thefts are up here anyway, but a lot of it is break and enters where they just get into your house to grab the keys.

There is a diagnostic USB port in the steering column of the car, they are plugging a cable into that then the car just starts without the key.

Immobilizers are required here in Australia so it’s not that, I think it just inspired a bunch of kids to go steal cars in other ways.

Eh, I’m a full album guy (Pink Floyd ftw) but I still enjoy Spotify. I’ve been introduced to a lot of good music I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood to commit to a full album.

Thank you Tolstoy, great novel.

I’m so glad you people are too detached from reality to actually start your ‘revolution’.

“The vehicle I choose to drive puts me at greater risk of injury and death, regardless of who is at fault, so I’m going to drive in a manner that further increases my risk of injury or death.”

See how ridiculous that sounds?

I think dismissing an entire opposing view point as Nazis is one of the lowest forms of discourse there is, and unfortunately it’s very pervasive on Lemmy.

I don’t know if it’s naive teenagers or just a lot of out of touch people with fringe views, but it’s worse than reddit sometimes.

Exploding heads looks fucking dead lol why bother?

Lmao why is this comment downvoted but the one saying that most people who dislike PERA are neo-nazis is upvoted? Tells you a lot about how out of touch people on here are.

When I looked at that site to see what everyone is talking about, it looked dead with most posts having no comments. Am I missing something? Doesn’t really seem like a threat to Lemmy.

They send them to those crypto ATMS so all they have to do is insert cash and type the address. The scammer is on the phone to assist them usually.
