Finland explained himself in the comic, but in 2010 Denmark started giving heroine to drug addicts for free and it was such a huge success that it has continued until today. Because of this Norway has started experimenting with it too.
Itās a lot cheaper for society because the addicts commit less crime, they donāt have to spend money on drugs so instead they spend it on things that are more healthy for them so they donāt end up on the hospital as often, they have to take the drugs in special clinics so thereās no chance of them taking an overdose or using dirty needles and spreading diseases among each other, thereās always staff ready to help them if they want to get off the drugs, and itās a lot more effective way to help more people because addicts come into contact with professionals who want to help them before they even think about getting help themselves.
Nobody wants to be homeless or an addict. Though they often end up getting involved in criminality because of their situation, the act of being homeless or an addict is not a crime in itself and the people deserve help like anyone else.
It also gets money out of mafia/crime communities. Really hard to base your business on selling drugs people can get safer for free. Really hard to spend that drug money on weapons or other dangers if you never made it in the first place.
āBokuto-san?ā He asks, chopsticks still full of udon.
āHmm?ā Bokuto doesnāt look up from where heās devouring his okonomiyaki.
āIs there a reason why you wonāt let me touch your hair?ā
āWhat do you mean?ā Bokuto asks. To the untrained ear, it sounds nonchalant, but Akaashi knows better ā thereās a hint of nervousness in Bokutoās voice.
The dark-haired man holds eye contact, willing himself to be bold. āYou donāt let me touch your hair. When we cuddle you hold my hand when I get too close and you insist on fixing your hair yourself,ā he clarifies, trying to be direct without seeming too accusatory. āAnd when we fuck, itās more like you touching me.ā
With the IPCC report and climate change in the news, a couple of reminders are due:
"The wealthiest 5% alone ā the so-called āpolluter eliteā - contributed 37% of emissions growth between 1990 and 2015."
The so-called āpolluter eliteā must change their lifestyles to tackle climate change, a report says.
"Luxury consumption by the rich concentrates economic activity and delivers negligible extra wellbeing, yet sucks up vast amounts of resources."
Demand would shift from luxuries to necessities.
"Affluent individuals can emit several ten thousand times the amount of greenhouse gases attributed to the global poor."
The billionaireās new book, a bid to be taken seriously as a climate campaigner, has attracted the usual worshipful coverage. When will the
"Half of all our economic activity ā all the mines, all the factories, all the power stations, all the shipping, and all of the ecological impact thatās associated with these things ā is done to make rich people richer."
Ecological breakdown isnāt being caused by everyone equally. If we are going to survive the 21st century, we need to distribute income and w
"The wealthiest 0.54%, about 40 million people, are responsible for 14% of lifestyle-related greenhouse gas emissions."
We need to move towards āsufficiency-orientedā lifestyles.
The rich are primarily to blame for the global climate crisis!
The Leeds University study looked at 86 countries and came to broadly the same conclusions about the rich.
"The worldās superyacht fleet uses over thirty-two million gallons of oil and produces 627 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year . The worldās superyachts consume and pollute more than entire nations."
Mansions, superyachts, luxury cars, and private jets produce more carbon emissions than whole countries. Researchers are calling it āgreen c
"The grim truth is that the rich are able to live as they do only because others are poor: there is neither the physical nor ecological space for everyone to pursue private luxury."
Increased spending power leads to environmental damage. Itās time for a radical plan, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
The wealthy pose our single biggest obstacle to environmental progress.
They coarsen our culture, erode our economic future, and diminish our democracy. The ultra-rich have no redeeming social value.
"The people who are actively cranking up the global thermostat and threatening to drown 20 percent of the global population are the billionaires in the boardrooms."
As the world faces environmental disaster on a biblical scale, it's important to remember exactly who brought us here.
There no undivided, undifferentiated "humanity" that caused climate change. It is the fault of the ultra-rich, of capitalism, and of an economic system that prioritises growth over all else.
A better world is possible. It doesn't include rich people.
I know no oneās really on here anymore but after years of fic writing I wanted to announce that Iām finally going to be a part of a zine! For the Haikyuu fans that follow me, Iām going to be in Promise: An Osaaka Webzine coming out on November 5th, 2021. Please look forward to it -- the writers and artists are all super talented, so there will be plenty of amazing content to enjoy!Ā
We're made to tell stories and braid each other's hair and build things and fucking help people and we're just as much part of the earth as all the other living organisms on this bitch y'all just made guns and money and decided the world is something to conquer welcome to my tedtalk
āWe wouldnāt have to deal with the Delta variant if it werenāt for a bunch of uneducated people refusing to get their vaccineā
No, we would still have had to deal with the Delta variant, because neither Trump nor Biden showed any interest in distributing US vaccine stockpiles internationally during the early months when it could have had the greatest impact in dampening Deltaās spread throughout India. Public health experts explicitly warned policymakers at the time that this vaccine nationalism would enable the global spread of variants. But this explanation doesnāt let anyone in America feel superior to anyone else, so it wonāt catch on
Pfizer and Moderna have quite literally raised their vaccine prices after learning their vaccines are more effective against variants and are set to make 41 billion dollars more than it costs to make the vaccine.
People not wearing masks is a problem. People not getting vaccinated is a problem. But the bigger problem remains white imperialist greed.
iāve started replacing āi want to dieā with āi feel overwhelmedā in my internal monologue, which is usually more accurate and more productive
āI canāt do thisā -> This will be a challenge for me, itās normal to feel intimidated
āI hate thisā -> This is a tough situation to handle and Iām doing my best
āI hate myselfā -> Iām struggling with low self esteem right now, I need to support myself as I would a friend
āI canāt believe I forgot againā -> Itās tough to balance so many things, maybe I need to let go of some of them
āTheyāre not going to like meā -> I donāt have to perform for anyone, my personality is valid and loveable just as is
The list could go on and onā¦
Redirecting the āblameā from yourself and recognizing that you are a human suffering through normal, difficult human experiences is important. Support yourself like youād support any of your close friends if they said these things.
I canāt tell you how delighted I am to see Actual Scripted Examples!
Iāve known I need to modify my self-talk like this for three+ years, and Iāve been trying for that long, but I never know what to replace it with. So the examples are super incredibly helpful, thank you so much. ~<333
