kodyo··on Animal Sedative Mixed with Fentanyl Brings Fresh Horror to US Drug Zones
Ask a heroin user. They clearly want to, and right now they have to deal with some unsavory characters and products.

The dumbest aspect of state run healthcare is that people like you think you get to vote on what kind of health care other people "need."

> It just makes it impossible for the federal government to do its job.

Where do I sign up?

You can't vote your way out of an oligarchy. You can destroy and replace it, or you can secede from it.
kodyo··on Natives in Tech asks Apache Software Foundation to change name
This appears to be the opinion of the three people who signed their name to the post on this particular website, who appear to have nominated themselves to speak on behalf of the Apache tribes. There's not even an About Us page that describes their tribal influence.

I'm not dismissing the feelings of anybody other than these three people who are claiming a grievance. If the movement grows, I'll reconsider.

The US government is the bloodiest, most indebted, and most imprisoning institution on the planet.

And I agree, it is astoundingly well-functioning at it.

I can imagine alternatives that aren't one of a) unlimited fascist oligarchy (present) and b) unlimited corporate oligarchy (your proposed alternative).

The kind of people who want to govern other people are not the kind of people we should encourage.

>I am all for legalization of drugs, but without also massive investments in housing, mental health, and addiction recovery, it won't accomplish the goals. We also need a functioning police and judicial system.

You would probably argue that you'd need those things when drugs are illegal, too, so I'm not sure what your disagreement is.

More accurately, the current paradigm drives the drug trade into the hands of degenerate street criminals.

I don't believe doctors should be the gatekeepers to determine how high you should get.

As opposed to right now, when I'd have to buy it from a street dealer?

Think through the question before you ask it.

kodyo··on Animal Sedative Mixed with Fentanyl Brings Fresh Horror to US Drug Zones
Yes, all drugs should be available to everybody. I don't trust the medical establishment to do this right, I don't trust regulators, and people have a right to die if they choose to.

I understand my opinion is outside of the mainstream.

Drug legalization is probably the best bet if preventing deaths is one of the priorities of "policy makers."

In my state, I can walk into an actual shop with actual employees who can sell me packaged marijuana and be reasonably confident that it isn't laced with some Chinese rat poison or Frankenstein chemical.

Parts of it were and they were utterly destroyed 160 years ago.

Most parents are not going to artificially cripple their kids out of some charitable sense of equity.

Decisions about how to raise your kids is where the DEI rubber hits the road.

kodyo··on Public Schools Lost More Than One Million Students During Pandemic
I was surprised to learn that the number of people who can only think in terms of single variables is staggering, and that the main variable they consider was what the last asshat on TV said it should be.
kodyo··on Rising rent, not poverty, is the real driver of homelessness
Where do drug addiction and lunacy rank in the drivers of homelessness?
kodyo··on Ask HN: What $500-2500 product improved your 2022
I got rid of cable and the Xfinity platform. Replaced it with a Xbox series X and the streaming apps work 10x better.

I don’t watch a lot of shows, bit when I do there is almost no technology friction.

kodyo··on Ask HN: Why Are Programmer Design Tastes So Utilitarian?
The design wizards are the ones who came up with gray text on light gray background, so there's plenty of dipshittery to go around.
