You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.

I mean I wouldn't bring it up to most people with how much some people shop their shit before uploading.

Windows 7 used to thunderfuck grub at random every few updates just to keep everyone on their toes.

Yeah but I don't live in a place that does the opposite I live in a place that supports Israeli genocide so maybe you can recommend me an English language pro hamas newspaper that gets wide circulation in Canada so I can critisize them too.

VPN can't really be made illegal its required for business to function.

And you'd get the ISPs to ban pornhubs IPs not the other way around.

Pornhub is banning these states as protest to get attention.

Its dumb as shit of course since pornhub for all its faults is like the least shady porn site so it'll just push people who aren't tech savvy to shadier sites with more non consensual and stolen content and shitty popups

Nonsense. Alcohol is a carcinogen, every part of your body it touches has an increased risk of developing cancer. It is directly neurotoxic. It damages the liver and stomache. A bottle of it can kill you. Stopping taking it can kill you.

Weed taken orally is physically very safe. It can still be habit forming and there are other unwanted side effects but to act like it is physically comaparable to alcohol is silly.

I say there's no safe amount of cocaine because it is directly cardiotoxic and has been known to cause heart defects in healthy young men at moderate doses.

I don't think ant drug should be illegal I just think people should be aware of the dangers of substances so they can make an informed decision.

Yeah there is no safe amount of cocaine to do. There is also no safe amount of alcohol to do. At least if shit is legalised people can decide to use cocaine or not with informed consent and can be sure they are actually getting pure cocaine.

I had a friends cousin die from using cocaine but it was because they had bought it off a street dealer and it was tainted with fentanyl. They just wanted to have a little extra fun on a night out on vacation. They'd be alive and well if cocaine was legal.

Prohibition doesn't work. It just adds suffering and stigma to addiction. One of the biggest factors to addiction is isolation something that criminalizing health issues greatly contributes to.

Starlink is shitty and yet where I'm at its still easily the cheapest, fastest, and most reliable option. Infuriating really.

Yeah but everything is weird when you deconstruct it that far like I'm using my electric meat to change some pixels of light that are then beamed around the world via electromagnetic radiation so that I can send my thoughts to your electric meat

I would never recommend people out themselves to a potential employer. I talk about my ADHD and amphetamines lots at work now but that's because I'm in a position where I am a relatively rare commodity and my job is already seen as the weirdos on site. I do it knowing it won't make my job easier but because I see so many apprentices struggling with the same shit without realizing they might just be different from other people. And the amphetamine talk shocks people which I find funny but anyways. Maybe some day it'll be OK to do but for now I have to assume that outting yourself as autistic or ADHD is just a good way to get discriminated against in most fields.

Eh, varies tribe to tribe on the ownership thing and the "coexisted spiritual connections with the land" thing is damn near the Noble Savage stereotype. Which kinda infantilises natives. They were fully realised peoples who sometimes lived peacefully and sometimes fought brutal wars with each other over the land. And some of them probably lived in a good balance with nature for some time and some of them probably would have run into ecological crises of their own making.
