That’s not how any of this works. People with substance use disorders use drugs because their brains have literally changed from drug use, not just because “they’re fun”. People in later stages of addiction aren’t having much fun, they’re barely surviving. If we could just teach them to use moderately, that would be amazing.

In an ideal world we’d get people to stop using drugs entirely. Unfortunately, that’s a tough goal to reach for many people. So we try to get them to use less, or differently (eg smoking instead of IV), so that they’re less likely to die.

Because it makes for a more clickbaity headline

I tried going back for a while, but when I couldn’t connect on VPN, I left again.

They’re Canadian, so no

Nice try junior

He reinstated himself?

Because they’re weak and stupid

I guess they were expecting even worse?

Some young people, some old people, some medium people. What a stupid headline. You can find “some people” that think anything.

I don’t know wtf this idiot is on about, but look at his comments. He’s lives in a different reality.

I see “brutally shot down”, I think oh good. Then I see it’s from Newsweek and I roll my eyes.

If you really want to, I guess

Nope

Idk, less tech than a Tesla, but as much as any modern car. A Chevy spark, VW egolf, or Fiat 500e may be even dumber though.

No not issue prone at all. Extremely rare as a matter of fact.

Bolt, Kona, niro probably. You can’t, and don’t need to, replace the battery in an EV.

Yeah I agree, battery degradation has very little to do with it. I was about to buy a used EV until Ford dropped mach e prices recently. I ended up getting a new car for less than used listings.

All these stories about ev depreciation don’t take into account that many ev’s originally sold with a $7,500 rebate in the US. When you remove that from the depreciation, it doesn’t look nearly as bad.

If he wanted to lick and rim a female president of Russia I’d still say it’s our business

If the former and potential future president of the United States of America wants to blow and rim the president of the Russian federation (which he obviously does) that is indeed business of ours.
