qualia

so shopped it looks like cgi edit: actually cgi looks more natural than that these days

apparently caused a bit of a stir this one. aren't nbome's illegal already under the analogue act?

it was just a general, not directed at anyone in particular, or anyone at all.

just cos the us does it doesn't mean austraia will. i would expect things to get much, much more draconian over the coming years.

let's all just remember that these are news limited articles. not exactly the last bastion of honest journalism.

this is how i felt about 10 years ago. but ten years on i think i'd like to see again what that 10 years has brought to the table, so to speak. but they're illegal so i can't. stupid gubbermint. also never be so arrogant as to think you've learnt everything.

do you think it worth it to place a protective plastic wrap around the base of plants in the ground, so they don't necessarily get too wet over winter? good/bad/indifferent? it's just been planted btw, and has a bit of rot up the base. wrong move planting it now probs but yolo right?

seeing those japanese dolls in the random thread reminded me of Metropia (2009) http://youtu.be/vLPD_9uFmVI

but on a serious note it's clear that the only way to stop this is to ban the internet.

i know i shouldn't laugh but this just sounds hilarious.

well looking at that picture quite a lot of bulk is left so they may be able to re-establish it quickly.

i was already in a bad mood today. this is just shit.

think a bit harder about what i wrote. i never said drugs were harmless or not linked to suffering. what i did say is that people make choices. after finding himself in the fetal position on the floor of his kitchen "bill" made a choice to get right back on it. he was no more powerless then as he was when he finally decided to stop. he could have sought help but he made a choice not to. that is bill's fault, not the fault of any drug.

just reminded me of this

people have choices you know. i'm aware of the addictive nature of some drugs but at a certain point people have to take responsibility for themselves and say "it's not the drugs, it's me". like i said, i'm sick of people blaming their problems on drugs. it's the sort of stigmatisation of drugs which is going on in this article which is a result of people not taking responsibility for their actions, and saying "it wasn't me it was the drugs", consequently handing to the government responsibility for policing their actions when they should have the wherewithal to do it themselves.

hooray for the free market.
