The “freaks” should be allowed to do something else because conventional schooling doesn’t put them in a position to succeed.

When did they leave?

Good, treat public consumption like alcohol and force people to go there.

That’s it?

Yeah son, rode the R train to school every morning and none of us considered getting on top, we did typical dumb teenage shit like drinking 40s and smoking pot, not death defying stunts despite the fact we saw Jackass at way too young of an age.

A typical three year old is too scared to go past the orange line.

No it has not been done for generations, teenagers used to try become pro athletes, rappers, and rockstars, not "influencers."

My sides!

LGBT people aren't banned from marching, only the pride flag is banned, the same way the pride parade bans police officers, but only if they are in uniform.

And with facial recognition software, they can send a ticket right to their door.

It’s the internet, mate, we’re just talking shit.

He's the worst thing to happen to this city since 9/11.

It’s disappointing, this is not what I voted for.

>Okay so you see no difference between a child using an ipad access social media and a child using an ipad to have a zoom call with a therapist where they can talk through their problems with a real person??

How on earth did you draw that conclusion? The only point I was making was that an in-person session is better than a zoom session.

>Getting depressed kids off devices is half the solution, frankly.

100% this, Instagram and other social media is contributing to the spike in teen suicide rate, humans need face to face contact.

That was my take as well

Hard disagree, every time I've been in there, I've been treated like royalty.

I have a hard time believing it's out of altruism.

Haha, well those boomers are in charge now and I'm skeptical anyone does anything out of altruism.

Where did I say they should not be legal? By all means they should, everyone has a right to bodily autonomy barring it doesn’t hurt anyone else. I am against saying they are magic beans with zero risk because that’s factually incorrect.

Ok, fair enough, thank you for taking the time to answer instead of being dismissive, whatever it takes to heal.

Nobody is claiming alcohol and sugar are good for you.

He was an addict, it’s a warning, that’s what “soma” is in the book, man was so addicted to acid he asked for it on his deathbed.

What’s the difference between paying and dealer and having a friend watch you and paying a therapist to watch you? Honestly asking in good faith, I don’t see a difference.

Nobody claims alcohol isn’t dangerous.
