Hot Takes Discussion

[Late Republican Rome]

Sumptuary laws and taxes should be enacted, with revenue going directly to the working poor as the most efficient means of redistribution of wealth.

Hot take: The MCU is a documentary

As a person with level three autism, I have to say this. Autism is not always a superpower. It can be a pain in the ass.

I'm a high-functioning autistic and autism has never felt like a superpower to me, I really wish the Twitter people obsessed with inclusion and acceptance would stop romanticizing my autism, it's made my life far worse.

I can concur.

These all seem like minor things

You were clearly not working in IT in 1999.

Another y2k wont happen for another 1,000 years.

When you're using two-digit dates, it's the century change that matters, not the millennium, so in fact there's another coming up in 78 years. And there is still a current need to differentiate between 19xx and 20xx dates. If someone's date of birth is 3/4/07, did they just turn 15, or 115? It matters!

Common sense, what person from 1907 would be using the internet? And you be 90 something or something around that when 2100 happens.

I was in fact referring to María Brañas Morera, who turned 115 yesterday. "Common sense" heuristics aren't always correct, and whether she uses the Internet or not, her records need to be kept.

And I'm going to be a lot older than 90 when 2100 rolls around. I was working in IT in 1999.

Nicotine is a stimulant for humans (and a pesticide for insects)

And if we’re going off the economy aspect we might as well start allowing cocain to be in coke again.

That would bury Pepsi once and for all. Also bring back heroin as a children's cough syrup, as was the case in the good old days conservatives love so much.

Every drug that people use has value. If it didn't, no one would use it.

It's embarassing for any adult to believe that one always tries their first cigarette or vape out of peer pressure and then goes "ah this is terrible I hate this but now I'm addicted oh no."

Why can’t you get it here (US)? Codine cough syrup is OTC in the UK.
