  • There are absolutely lawsuits around startups where funds were believed to be misappropriated, but if the startup was responsible and just couldn’t become profitable through bad luck then that’s just part of the risk of investing and why investment firms do research on the companies they are interested in. The reason it would close down would be because the investor just doesn’t want to lose anything more.

    Yeah, but we already have laws against specific drugs so this wouldn’t be any worse than what we already have, instead it’s an approach to make it safer without just saying it’s okay. But yeah the decision of if it should be a controlled substance should be left up to a board of medical professionals rather than politicians as it is now.

    Doing drugs should be decriminalized, but not legal. Ideally when someone is found addicted to drugs they would be provided help rather than punishment. Selling drugs should remain criminal but consequences should be determined based on the amount found selling and to who (like a child or someone who’s pregnant would be a higher penalty at the discretion of the court), legalizing would just give a tax incentive for pushing drugs similar to gambling.

    Edit: I want to clarify, I’m talking about addictive drugs with known negative health effects like meth. Weed can be legal, who cares.




  • It’s not a substitution for socializing, it’s just an extra thing on the side for me where I can get dumb jokes out of my system. Anything is unhealthy if there’s too much of it, and if you’re finding you’re having trouble moderating usage then I agree you probably shouldn’t be on here. But I wouldn’t call it useless if you get something out of it, it just shouldn’t consume your life.
