<p>It kind of falls apart when large companies can lobby and bribe the people in charge of writing and enacting laws to make exception and write around their problem areas. Or can just make strategic donations to ease any risks of enforcement. Or collude to make sure the fine for whatever infraction is well below the profit margin of doing said infraction.<p>I don't care to argue semantics, just pointing out your reply was as hollow as your criticism to the person saying legal doesn't mean safe. It's a pretty reasonable thing to draw attention to methinks...</p>

<p>From what I remember reading chewing tobacco is orders of magnitude less cancer causing than smoking. So much so, that some groups see it as harmful to lump it in with smoking or vaping. If you really need some nic, popping a zyn is probably the least harmful way to get it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think if Windows 11 is going subscription based (plus all the copilot pushing garbage and even more baked in ads) that will be a strong incentive to switch to Linux or SteamOS. I barely even play games enough anymore to make a desktop worthwhile. Might just jump to Mac only.</p>

<p>>unlike the US where the Constitution grants God-given rights over and above the government.<p>Why don't you ask the folks in towns riddled with ICE agents how well those god-given rights are being respected. Your main point stands about infringement of freedoms and privacy, but your interpretation, or hallucination that anywhere is actually abiding by their founding principals is wildly naive.<p>The government will always override it's citizens rights and freedoms if it has it's power challenged. 2nd amendment collapsed in California when Black Panthers decided arming themselves was a great way to push back on kkkops. 1st and 14th amendment rights get trampled and attacked at just about any protest in history.<p>You can talk about ideals until your blue in the face but governments have always done whatever they want and almost never face repercussion. Anything that challenges the government keeping us in place as servants of capital is met with violence and incarceration. Any social progress comes at the cost of innocent blood being spilled to make the situation distasteful enough that the government minimally acquiesces as it keeps marching down the same path it always has.</p>

<p>I was pretty good with regularly taking my dose, but decided to go off after I felt entirely emotionally numb to everything. The closest I could get was feeling deeply sad watching a movie with an emotional scene and realizing I didn't feel any emotion. I decided to quit mainly because of that and other issues (mainly sex taking forever and feeling a bit hollow). I halved my dose every 3 weeks and stopped around 5mg (from 40mg). The zaps fucking sucked and lasted heavily for ~2 months. Even now 8+ years later every once in awhile I get that kind of rollercoaster drop feeling in my head every few days that had preceded my zaps previously. It would feel like an initial void in my head, followed by a shock travelling from my feet to my head and I'd legitimately jerk my whole body while it happened. It made me feel depersonalized and I found it most tolerable dissociating physically and just mentally observing the effect occur. Walking seemed to trigger it the most, but I definitely had some times trying to sleep where I just felt completely zapped with discomfort (less electrical fwiw). I would have to smoke a ton of weed to sleep and still feel a lingering disconnect from my physical self. Paxil initially helped a ton with my social anxiety and depression (likely triggered by feeling of inadequacy and being left behind my peers). Now I'm awaiting a diagnosis for ASD. I've been able to cope decently without SSRIs/SNRIs but have more or less accepted the feeling of incompleteness that follows me eternally. I still feel generally lost in life purpose, but have accepted that as best I can. I'm not sure if it's the ASD or the SSRI's but I do appreciate the mental pathways they opened, it just never lead to a conclusion I wanted to follow through with. Everything feels pretty arbitrary, I just try to enjoy life as it happens now.</p>
