Note that I was telling what the government does, not what is my opinion on this.

If I was steering the wheel, I’d just ban all drug consumption in public spaces, but allow non-destructive ones in personal spaces (your property), which includes tobacco and weed. I’d probably also limit the alcohol limit in drinks to something like 11%, so no absolut vodkas or smirnoffs as those tends to cause serious brain damage, which in return affects everyone around who have to deal with your vegetable state even when sober

Disclaimer: I’m from east europe and alcohol consumption is kinda out of control for most people (yes, most people according to my experience)

Second hand drinking isn’t really a thing and I don’t see people smoking weed publicly all the time to the point it’s disgusting to eat at cafe, at least never noticed it, so most don’t really care.

Alternatively, I personally like www.q-3.eu

While I’m pretty good at normal talk in english, I don’t know the names for half of the foods and ingredients lol, so it would be better for both of us if you’d just googled for some recipes and see which one you like

But seriously now. Can we speed up smoking bans? Like, everywhere?

Some European countries, including mine, has decided to raise the smoking age by 1 every year, essentially banning the next generation from smoking. Not really rapid or speeding up, but future is looking good

There was a slight problem where some people were allowed to smoke for portion of the year after birthday and before the age increase, for every year

I realized how much I love adding garlic to soups, so I figured I might aswell try making a soup almost entirely from garlics. It was amazing.

I paid for winrar on windows, I’m going to make it every penny’s worth

I don’t see how is this comparable

My router disconnects from network if no device uses it. I usually have a new IP each time I power on my PC

Banning IP? What is this, 2000? Almost every household has dynamic IP

“I want to protect my kid from dangers of social media so I will make him the special one in class that will potentially make them a target for bullying and harassment”

Just let the kis grow up normally like rest of us did. I feel like many of us, just like me, grew up with far more extreme/unmoderated sites like liveleak and 4chan. Heavily moderated social media is very mild to what some of us grew up with, and I’m no serial killer by any means, I only kill on tuesdays

Also, preventing your kid from doing/exploring things young statistically makes them more suspecible to getting addicted to said things later in life

I was under the assumption that autism is purely social disorder and causes no problems operating machinery or vehicles

It’s not cool to call homosexual salt “contaminated”

So, a software that is owned by US politician is working together with software that has links to Russian government?

So, a messenger?

That’s not really what I was talking about. It would be closer to asking ChatGPT to make summary of said books instead of reading them

You’re highlighting a barrier to learning that in and of itself has no value.

It has no value as long as those tools are available to you. Like calculator, where nowadays everyone’s so used to them people have became pretty bad at math in head. While this is indeed not an issue since calculators are widely available to everyone, we’re not really talking about doing math, but using critical thinking, which is a very important skill in your daily life

EDIT: Disclaimer: I’m a vivid AI user and I’ve defended it here before, but I’m not about to start kidding myself that letting the AI analyize and think for me makes me more intelligent
