They won't be panicking. They made up the lie that non citizens are voting, they know it's not true.

You're not familiar with the people involved, you don't know the details of how much they're taking and it sounds like you're unfamiliar with the psychedelic experience. You just do not have the information to make an accurate assessment of the decisions these strangers made.

If humans stopped trying something just because it's never ever worked, we wouldn't have to worry about republican governments getting elected.

Parents assess risks on behalf of their children all the time, that's like the main thing about being a parent.

Because you can judge the risk for yourself and decide that at home with the kids asleep and someone on standby is within your risk tolerance. But it's not ethical to make that decision for other people.

And it's not just about others' kids vs your own - there are many factors that make them different situations.

Of course not but at work as a primary carer for other people's kids is a very different scenario that at home with your own kids who are asleep while you have trusted sober adults on standby.

It's just a lie. I don't think it's meant to hold up to scrutiny, it's just meant to be repeated.

We trip regularly and I use to work in childcare. This does not sound negligent to me at all.

Mushrooms just aren't very disabling once you're familiar with them and measure doses. I've ran into and chatted with professional acquaintances while on mushrooms. It's fine.

It's done wonders for our relationship and mental health. I don't think it's for everyone, but it's been a huge boon to us.

You dont get to reassign the definition to fit your purpose and agenda

Yes, I'm saying that we shouldn't be reassigning the meaning of antisemitism.

What's going on with the top of the map?

When an asshole says they're good for the economy it's just more believable, because most rich people are assholes.

The term was coined by an academic and then claimed by fascists to describe their own hatred of jews. If anything, the current meaning as something to be reviled is the reclaimed version.

Antisemitism is a word that a historically oppressed group uses to defend itself. Others taking that away from jews is not the same thing as the reclaiming of queer or the n-word by their communities .

The word is being misused by israel and that's truly appalling, but there is still a valid use case for it's current meaning.
