To my knowledge I’ve never been assaulted, threatened, robbed or otherwise put at risk by a user of weed, recreational or medicinal.

Having said that, the reality of a modern government legalising it gives me a headache.  For all of our ‘safety’  they would need to regulate its sourcing, preparation/manufacture, packaging, storage, and sale.  They would need an official body to monitor/control the industry and dish out fines to those transgressors putting everyone’s ‘safety’ at risk. 

Define good!??!  I can swim just fine, but there are plenty of people faster, with more endurance, and more efficient than me.  In terms of ‘goodness’, I place myself somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of all swimming humanity on planet earth.

Governments should leave its people well alone!!  Foreign policy is more important

Count me in!

I agree with Ben that they keep us on our toes and current with the game mechanics.

I can make it sooner, just let me onto the OWF!!

Pre suggests in his first paragraph that simplicity is a sought after feature of the beige system.  Whatever this crazy change is, it is not simple!  Points 2 and 5 are the only ones with any merit IMO.

Is it a donut if it doesn't have a hole in it though???  @Joe Schmo a new poll is in order I think though if you think it's a donut without a hole you're wrong

Geez who can afford a graphics card these days anyway???  Those damn crypto-miners and their money-grubbing ways.  Roll on text based games I say!!

Good and no.  However I’ve something of a nebulous idea that it is contingent on the user of the tool to understand what they’re about (not necessarily the code itself).  Something akin to treating the patient, not the numbers for all you clinicians out there.

NPOLT was certainly a chore.  I still see TKR's performance and resilience during the war (especially fused, though I'm biased ), and our subsequent ability to bounce back, testament to our quality fundamentals.

Over 6 months simply because I think Russia will be dealing with an unconventional guerilla force for a long time yet.

As for the latter, If Putin is stupid enough to invade when even Xi Jinpin won’t say anything overtly in support, and knowing he has essentially turned the world against him, then IMO he is stupid enough to lob a missile into the neighbouring Baltic states (with which he has many issues and vacuous claims) who will all probably strengthening their border defence.

I think it might possibly devolve yet anyway. Putin is apparently targeting civilians more and more as the war progresses and it really depends on the political stomach the rest of the world has to tolerate any atrocities.  We tolerate a lot I’m ashamed to say  

There’s enough drama irl tyvm  

Guns in the US, knives in the UK, opinions in AU.  In all instances it is the wielder that is the problem, not the thing itself.

Mondays are the beginning of the week, so it’s kind of like a fresh start each time.  Also I’m at home alone for several hours every second Monday, and the silence is golden!

Regardless of whether or not they do invade can the USA and UK stop saying a war is imminent and will happen in a matter of days, just for no invasion to happen. It's been weeks of this. Almost as if they want a war or something. 

What, and take away the media’s hyper-inflammatory over-simplified and narrow coverage of the whole thing???  These people have jobs you know, and we need to grow the economy! You must be one of these anti-establishment pseudo left wingers hahaha.
 

Seriously though an invasion on this scale takes a long time to organise.  Here’s hoping they all change their minds, turn around and go back home soon

Pootin is a dick!  But I understand that Russia believes the Ukraine is their sovereign territory regardless of their independence after the USSR tanked.  That I believe is the veneer thin excuse for saying they won't be invading i.e. how does one invade their own country right?  Anyway, doing a military exercise with over 100k troops is bs when you're skint, and Russia is skint af.  But don't forget the other hand (China) while the Russians are dazzling us with their murderous antics.  They've been sorting out all sorts of energy and telecommunication deals that have barely made the news (God forbid we interrupt the Covid or Prince Andrew feed). 

Enjoy the world radiants hahaha  Our own countries are full of dicks too, most of 'em are elected

Does nobody prepare food and cook here?  I use knives way more than forks or spoons.
