Did you run though a field of wheat like Theresa May?

it doesn’t matter, any controlled substance

If that’s what you got from my comment you have serious reading comprehension problems. I am against the war on drugs.

Dictionary.com “any controlled substance whether sedative or stimulant”

It’s literally a definition. I’m being downvoted for being correct.

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

You’re actually wrong.

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Merriam Webster 2nd definition “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Almost entirely is NOT the same as entirely.

I didn’t realise the DEA were the only people who could define things. Outside of the US it can generally refer to illegal drugs

Are you telling me Merriam Webster and Dictionary.com is wrong? Things can have colloquial definitions

As a chronic masturbator I always though cum socks were a myth as tissues have been invented. You live and learn.

Not by all definitions of the word, narcotic can just mean an illegal drug. Different dictionaries define the word differently.

Really annoying how I’ve been downvoted for this, Merriam Webster defines a narcotic as “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

A quick Google search “a drug or other substance that affects mood or behaviour and is consumed for non-medical purposes, especially one sold illegally.”

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

I’m a millennial, just trying to not let the world’s ills bother me now. Life is too short and what you make it.

They are narcotics though by definition.

Edit Merriam Webster: “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

I LIKE MAGIC MUSHROOMS YOU TWATS IM JUST CORRECT

Lemmy is so fucking stubborn when presented with conflicting information. Grow up you bell ends.

You’re so far gone in your cop hatred you see me as quoting the dictionary as somehow sticking up for cops. That’s how polarised and shitty you are.

Why does investment entitle people to live off said thing? That’s because there are agreements between the parties involved. If I want to start a business and need seed money I willingly enter a contract with investors just as they willingly risk their investment capital.

Of course they are more efficient, nobody sets up co operatives. If they were a more efficient way of running a business more people would do it.

Geopolitical, as in a combination of political, cultural and geographical.

I don’t think noting the problem is partially political is enough to say it’s easily solveable.

I think we’re coming at this from a different philosophy, you see politics as something that is easily changeable, I see it as a product of environmental and cultural positions. Changing the entire world’s politics is a nigh on impossible task.

You see geopolitics as a variable, I see it as a constraint on the actual variables.

Only 1 live album though. That’s surprising considering.

I think there is only so much humans can change. We aren’t beings of infinite moral potential and there will always be points of conflict.

There is thinking there are no logistics problems we can’t solve and then there is actually solving them taking into account real geopolitics.
