there's nothing inherently wrong with recreational drug use


huge lol at this post being downvoted and flagged on the libertarian tech bro site


It's looks like you have wrong assumptions about liberal philosophy. In liberal philosophy, price of human life is set to infinity, thus price of life of any individual (even worthless ones) is equal to price of life of any group (even top of the top).

However, unlike anarchy, any harm to human life is very costly (because value of human life is infinite!), for example: killing of someone, suicide, death because of incompetence or laziness, or self damage because of self medication, etc. are «sins» for libertarians.


Libertarian != Liberal


Yep, my mistake. However, I disagree that HN is the libertarian site.


Terrible example, since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also extremely unethical


A lot happened before those two bombs were dropped, so how would you articulate your stance about those I wonder? Axis and Allies were bombing each other all over the place. Plenty of cities (in Japan, since you hyper focused on the nuclear bombs) were devastated and wrought with bombings before.


they probably don't do it because it's a bad solution.


Is it? I prefer to tackle problems at the source, and its crystal clear that overseas scammers are exploiting corrupt local law enforcement in conjunction with easy access to targets via the Internet and shady telephone providers.


Or, said anorher way, it becomes more difficult for them to profit off of the labor of others.


I just want to say that I read this whole thread and while I'm not entirely sure i agree with you politically I think this statement is amazing and very well said.


Thank you, I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know.


That specific example seems sorta yikes opinion for somebody with hiring power. Aren't people who get targeted by MLMs victims? More importantly, what does that say about how hard they work? Or being a mom?


It‘s a stereotype for the sake of a stereotype. I don‘t think anyone identifies with such a narrow unrealistic stereotype, so there is no point in arguing for an entirely hypothetical marginalized group.

By the way, hiring is all about judging people‘s past work, and I‘m sorry to pop your bubble if you think past MLM work or having large gaps in your employment history doesn‘t reflect bad on anyone.


Pretty messed up they wouldn't let you endanger them at their own workplace


It’s clear at this point that vax/boosts don’t keep you from contracting or passing on the virus.

What matters to others is you showing up at the dentist exhibiting symptoms.


They reduce the chance, however. Imperfect protection is better than nothing.


... and yet no other doctor has that policy, or even a hospital. Pretty messed up that an ophthalmologist thinks he knows better than all of them.


The other option would be brazing with jewelry silver at like $60/oz. Yikes.


Probably a better compromise is stainless press-style fittings. The tools are going to be much too expensive for the average homeowner plumbing needs, but they work out in the commercial sector or for professional plumbers.

MegaPress and ProPress are a couple of popular brands.

The also have an advantage that they avoid "hot work" in places where it leads to greater regulation / stringent safety precautions.


37deg Flare fittings or bust!!


Maybe you shouldn't do it, then?


Wouldn't it add another ten Ms every time you opened a new terminal session?


yeah its windows 95 simulator :)
