Fully agree.

If this kind of institution starts to be ignored, with no consequences, then it no longer serves a purpose.

How could such an odd choice benefit them?

Honest question.

Uh? Who said EU countries can’t contract loans or invest in its economy?

It’s not like we are about to run out of it.

Money is essentially time and that is finite but money allows to composite time by combining the time of many into one single task.

Scientific endeavour is of the few meritous causes where money should never be an issue.

I don’t know.

Not being a spliff smoker, I won’t comment.

Even tobacco can have medical use: I worked with a person that smoked to increase blood pressure, under medical advice.

Wine and even whisky have been linked with having benefitial effects on cardiac function, when drank in moderation.

In my understanding, the biggest issue is the way these substances are used and advertised. The notion of moderation is completely absent.

What is concerning about spliff is the tendency to facilitate descent into abnormal mental states.

I enjoy good relations with a few healthcare professionals and the general consensus is, at this point, spliff has more potential benefits to explore than bad effects, so it makes sense to explore it, never overlooking the continuous use has been linked with some serious mental inbalances and even some physical syndromes.

Just a few days ago, here, on Lemmy, there was a lemming talking about a strange condition where continuous use over decades can trigger extremer pain and discomfort episodes, due to deposit of substances on fat tissue.

Tobacco is a proven killer, yes, but who knows what weird side effets we may be yet to discover connected with mary jane.

I was never small enough to fit in one, nor fun enough to be picked on. Plus, I was prone to fight back; I had very little to lose.

This picture is incomplete.

You need another guy on the ledt side, just casually watching as the others fight. That’s Debian.

The poor dude being shoved into the locker is Suse.

The bully is Ubuntu.

Now we need a bigger guy behind the bully, waiting to get his hands on the bully. That will be RedHat.

Arch will be behind RedHat, getting ready to punch him in the face.

Gentoo will be right behind Arch, laughing like a maniac at the carnage unfolding.

And to the far right side of the picture you get to see this underrated guy, just shrugging his shoulders. That’s LFS.
