I’m anything but a big fan of Jehova’s witnesses, but the story surrounding August Dickmann’s execution really made me appreciate their commitment to pacifism.

Having the support of major news media and the lobby arm of Big Agriculture (who partially incited the riots) surely helped more than their methods.

Yeah, but LA has a shitty public transport system.

Take a look at any major European city. Subway systems with a train interval of 2 minutes that get you across the whole city in 40 minutes max.

Just thinking one step further: If I have capital, I control the ads and content.

Thank god the rich are interested in human rights.

Same in Paris.

“What do you mean I have to wait 4 minutes for the next metro?”

Man sollte definitiv gute (und schlechte) Erfahrungen mit gegessenem THC haben bevor man stärkere Psychedelika probiert. Dadurch kann man einschätzen wie sich ein Kontrollverlust und Disassoziation anfühlen, und lernen wie man damit umgeht.

Wer natürlich Angststörungen hat sollte von LSD, wie auch von regelmäßigem Graskonsum, definitiv die Finger lassen. Das ist ja schließlich Teil des Sets.

Hartes Nein, Psilocybin und LSD sind definitiv eine einmalige, bewegende, teils sogar produktive Experience. Wer Psychodelika gut verträgt und ein passendes Set und Setting produzieren kann sollte es im Leben mindestens einmal in Erwägung ziehen.

As a cishet person, I like to keep to myself as much as possible as well. That way, you can call people out on their homo-/transphobic behavior and make them really regret what they said.

That’s not entirely correct. The Ultra-Orthodox spectrum is composed of different factions/sects that hold widely varying beliefs and interpretations of Judaism.

While a majority of Ultra-Orthodox are represented in the current government, there are also some Ultra-Orthodox factions that reject the Israeli state completely. Some won’t fight due to their religious studies, some due to their pacifism, some due to their pro-Palestinian sentiment, and other will fight because of their convictions or their desire to settle in the west bank.

The infighting between these groups and their sometimes messianic beliefs and discussions are sometimes very intransparent from the outside. Sometimes internal feuds even erupt in street riots between groups or police.

How dare you
