Don't let your memes be dreams

I mean, I think everyone is deserving of sympathy to some degree. Doesn't mean excusing poor behavior, but it can help in understanding and preventing

Uh. Federal law is that cannabis is illegal, yet that doesn't stop sales. It does effect prosecution when feds decide to, for sure.

If you aren't spending time around people that complain about it, that makes sense. My mom is normally pretty quiet while my dad yells about whatever political issue, but this is one topic she gets vocally upset about as we're celebrating Christmas together literally every year. It's wild

Reminds me, there was a study done with brain scans to see if there was a difference between liberal and conservative brains. Conservatives have larger amygdalas on average, so makes sense that their fight or flight reactions are higher.

In theory, yes, but that should be the point of education and social programs tbh. Even then, restorative justice models don't rely as heavily on jail/prison. Temporary and maybe permanent removal from a specific environment doesn't have to require fully sequestering perpetrators from society. Caught early enough, extreme examples of violent individuals can be rehabilitated through house arrest and other programs like anger management, therapy, etc. Saves taxpayer money, reduces recidivism, and victims report much higher satisfaction as they can actually face their perpetrator and be more involved in the process seeking accountability.

In practice, prisons prop up class and racial segregation, perpetuating capitalist agendas.

I got the package deal with all of them over the summer and loved origins 😅 been working my way through them all to get ready for the new one. I was thinking I'd go this route of getting it and returning if I saw ads, but based on comments about the company having rape apologists I might need to do some more research before even bothering to take that risk

You're being down voted for facts lol. We're emotional, often irrational beings. How/when we present facts matters

You can still own guns in Australia, at least. It just requires applying for permits. I don't get why people would be opposed to that

Hell yes, deserving listener!

I asked my parents to get me evaluated as a kid and my mom said it wasn't real. At 32, I got evaluated and was diagnosed. Told my dad today and he's like "no shit? You got it from me" Well thanks for sticking up for me as a kid, dad lol
