I reserve the right to get shitfaced at 4am.

So glad I don't live in a nanny state.

I read it for the first time recently and honestly no other book has ever had such a profound effect on me.

Al Gore was America's last chance. It's been lost ever since.

I mean half the blame there is the Singaporean government bribing her to not perform in any other SEA countries...

I wonder why Ukraine can't easily get supplies to the frontline.

Could there possibly be a larger imperialist neighbour trying to kill them???

Don't see this word applied much in communist literature. Are we not all the proletariat united?

Everyone will listen to the Elders

On what basis? Are they elected or just old?

And what prevents the group who you decide not to supply lithium to from invading you and taking it?

Ok... lithium is mined in Australia and is needed in factories in China and India. Who decides where it gets sent?

Who distributes resources then?

Can I just say that you make the best posts on the fediverse. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these.

What are you doing step-comrade?

Underage drinking is still more common than it should be,

Sure, but it's significantly lower than legal drinking.

We as a society acknowledge the harm of underage drinking so prohibition is effective. Prohibition of adult drinking was puritan bullshit the majority didn't agree with so it didn't work.

I think you'd find a majority of parents agree social media is shit, but they're unwilling to isolate their child. In this case prohibition would be effective.
