That is the “legal, but with regulations, make it not bother anyone else” part.

Illegal simply means that if you have/consume said substance, there would be legal consequences (fines, imprisonment).

These restrictions and rules of use don’t make the drug itself illegal, they just make it illegal to use in certain scenarios.

I see. I thought they landed in Colombia but were sent back to the U.S.

Thank you for the clarification

So he saw these people were transported like cattle, dehydrated and mistreated, and instead of letting them get off the planes, he’s sent them back in those same planes so he can retrieve them with normal planes?

Unless I am missing something, I feel like you’d want those people to not fly in a plane like that again.

Either the plane didn’t take off in the first place, case in which rejecting it would make sense.

Or those planes landed in Colombia, then sent back so they can be brought in proper planes, extending the suffering for no reason.

What is the distinction between consumerism for a child’s happiness vs an adult’s?

If the goal here is to prioritise corpo negative profits over someone’s happiness, then the person’s age should be irrelevant here.

An once a year indulgence into consumerism isn’t as harmful as you seem to think it is.

Why not stop paying for the internet/electricity/any other commodities because you are now an adult?

i don’t think anyone on lemmy is simply bloodlusting. The CEO getting murdered just shows how sick people are of the current system lol

People don’t necessarily actually want more murders to happen, they just want the system to be fixed. Unfortunately, it was so bad it got to this.

Now, murder is bad and it’s usually bad to go vigilante justice, however in this scenario it’s preferable over the much bigger quantity of deaths and suffering the CEO had on his hands.

There’s earthquakes in regions of Europe aswell, and climate varies by regions in Europe aswell.

So what would be the excuse for not using paper walls?

terrible only if you want to minimise guess number, pretty good if you want to gather more information (and not lose altogether)

AI Training, compared to crypto, has at least been used in medicine to:

Create novel proteins based on specific requirements (useful for developing medicine): https://www.cell.com/chem/fulltext/S2451-9294(23)00139-0?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2451929423001390%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

Detect possible cancer: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/new-artificial-intelligence-tool-cancer#:~:text=CHIEF achieved nearly 94 percent,datasets containing 11 cancer types.

And there’s many more uses you can easily find if you look into it. Don’t just assume every LLM slop is all what AI is. Even LLMs probably have their use in stuff actually relating to language, such as translation.

scrolling in the comment section of this news article, i’ve only seen people either being concerner/shocked, and some sarcastically talking about recycling or something. Nothing about masturbation.

And if your criticism of lemmy is that it’s being reddit with elitism, then why try to gatekeep the way people are going to react to an article on c/science? Are we all supposed to have degrees in chemistry or biology before making a comment?

Believe it or not people take heavy news a million different ways and react differently. People ending up making a masturbation joke after discussing microplastics in testicles (i assume this is what happened) harm nothing and no one.

Why are you so pressed? What part of what I said is somehow in support of Russia?

Do you then not think that U.S. using Agent Orange wouldnt count as a war crime? or any flamethrower use in WW1? or White Phosphorus?

What would using a banned weapon during war be called if not a war crime?

Clearly these weapons are banned because they are overly cruel, meaning it gets the job too well done.

Last time I checked if someone used banned substances that counts as a crime. And if someone were to break the same rules for war, it would qualify as a crime during wartime (war crime for short).

But no you just think that every hint of criticism against anyone good means that you’re against that fully? Have you heard of the word ‘nuance’ before?

It’s also a war crime if it’s a weapon inflicting excessively injurious or having indiscriminate effects. Like flamethrowers, landmines and blinding lased weapons.

All of these weapons are banned under Geneva Convention, and by using them in a war you would be committing a war crime
