true kindness would be to not demonise and ban entheogentic medicines with thousands of years of contemporary peer review in the sickening pursuit of corporate greed

cos nothing proves “microsoft <3 opensource” like releasing a project over ⅓ of a century old
I love the way you think.
have you checked out freecad?
for the pricetag ($0) i’m pretty impressed
great news, openai keeps getting more open by the minute
/s
they’re just projecting their own tactics on you.
they’re the one moving the goalposts with that laughable brad pitt bs.
the mental gymnastics you go through to parrot corporate propaganda is honestly just astonishing
its not the actual money laundering they object to.
it’s that they didn’t get a cut.
nearly asked you for a tutorial, then re-read lolol…
If ads are a form of payment, then unsolicited ads are theft
brilliantly put, love it!!
when anything is that important, the medicine must be opensourced 1.
if so, and it’s handled correctly, you can still have body autonomy in those situations due to the resulting freedoms - much akin in nature to the software foss freedoms we all cherish. and in that sense, would not be a limit of “Your body, your choice". while still maintaining, if not increasing, the public protection to such threats.
it was really refreshing to see some discussion in public health policy from some very smart and relevant people for opensourcing those medications. unsurprisingly it was swiftly shot down, but it was nice to at least see it taking place - which is a small positive change.
1 naturally we decouple authentication and traceability from commercial interests. and ofc it does not mean noone gets paid
some more
eg.1 “free market will balance everything”
will it now? until we actually see one, we’ll never know. we don’t live in a free market, and never have. they rig the shit out of it with eg. drm and region locks, and then gaslight us that its free & balanced. lol.
eg.2 “democracy is the best we have”
same as above, when i see a true democracy i’ll let you know. caveat: unsure of your exact country’s situation, but when was the last time you consistently voted on what you want to happen, rather than who will fail to implement their election promises (with 0.0% accountability btw).
also, friendly reminder: mostly the “who”, you can vote for was already chosen in a private vote by the political parties, before they even pretended to care about our opinion. lol.
arguing in the media over the wrong points in an issue to keep public discourse on a ‘lively’ treadmill
eg.1
Q: Is climate change human caused?
A: Doesn’t change the issue: stop poisoning the water, air and soil - we need them to live. duh.
eg.2
Q: Is being lgbqta a choice?
A: Doesn’t change the issue: if its not a choice they can’t control it, leave these people alone. if it is a choice, its a free country, leave these people alone.
edit: if you disagree with any of the above, please expand, i’m open to a new perspective.
i suspect that’s a big part of ops point. without proper transport alternatives (eg. bus, bike etc) you’re fucked.
we anthropomorphise and infantilise our pets, yet boast about the animals we eat who’ve had legit insanity level cruel lives thanks to our systems.
[ not saying fussing over your pets is bad, i love it too, just the contrast is whiplash++ ]
hint: most lqbqtia rights, reproductive rights, medical/medication rights, are all the SAME RIGHT:
your body, your choice.
it is constantly under attack, and diffused into separate arguments when its the one right effecting all these issues. newsflash: when it comes to my body, your unwelcome opinion, religious or otherwise, ain’t worth the air its vibrating through.
making harmless x illegal because a subset of x might lead to harmful y. if y is bad, then enforce your ban on y, and fuckoff trying to use it as an excuse to control x₀, x₁, x₂ etc.
and how just by buying gas you are automagically a ‘more important’ road user than anyone else.
i get that as a general optimisation, the avg speed of vehicles should be considered from a routing perspective.
but its been entirely normalised that cars are “important” and everything else is inherently secondary to them. which is ofc pure bs, but most people assume it by default.
and we seemingly need endless war to keep getting it out of the ground
Be warned. The erroneous belief that “free speech” is a right wing concept is exactly the lie right wing lunatics want you to believe. it suits them very nicely.
right wing loonies have a long history of hijacking and destroying empathetic terms like this.
if they believed in freedom or free speech, why is it always them who are burning and banning books? why are they always the ones trying to control other people’s bodies? when they talk about freedom, they mean their freedom to take yours away.
should we let them kill yet another canary of a healthy society? that’s a different discussion. but it would be a substantial error to assume anyone who won’t let them hijack it are actually right wing.
out of interest, how would that hostile SMS URL work with those SMS preview things alot of mobile SMS messaging implementations use?
and probably have some of the most depraved porn habits imaginable
