I should have been more precise, you're right: decriminalize the consumption of all drugs.

There is a valid reason why you don't want Bobby Noname to cook meth and that is you don't want him to blow up the whole block because his meth lab practices are unsafe.

Decriminalize all drugs. Drug addicts have enough problems with them without also getting the boot from the legal system.

Welcome to my life. I would tell you it's ok, but it's honestly not.

Imagine having the advisory team named after the cryptoscam one of the members (at least) participated in. Doesn't get more clowny and openly dishonest than that.

The joke is basically that the rook could reach the destination in 2 moves instead of tracing the knight's moves (which would take 6 turns).

There were actual coins made out of silver that are not considered bullion coins like Morgan Silver Dollar or the Peace Silver Dollar. Those were made for everyday use and they contained around 0.75 troy ounces of pure silver.

This leads me to believe that the 0.9 troy ounce coin is some sort of special minting because that would be a pretty heavy coin for such a low value (around 28g). But maybe times were just different back when the gold standard was still in effect, idk.

I'll have to admit that I base my thought process almost entirely on my recent discovery that I actually possess a valuable coin and the bit of background reading after that discovery.

Nah, these coins are minted for collection and investment purposes and are not meant to use as direct payment (although you can because they hold a nominal value). It doesn't make sense for any government to use material that is 100 times more expensive than the value they want to attach to it.

Sovcit just payed of $0.25 of their debt with a $28 coin because they are incredibly smart.

No, what the sovcit attached is called a bullion coin. They usually have a nominal value, so they are official legal tender and you can pay with them in a store, but their actual worth is basically the price of the precious metal they are minted from (+collector's value for some coins) which is usually much higher. 0.9 troy ounces of pure silver are around $28.

It is the coin holder's duty to liquidate the coin before payment, so the sovcit basically just scammed themselves and gave their coin away for the nominal value (although it will likely be returned as this letter will not be accepted for obvious reasons).

I had to whip out the chessboard and play out the knight's instructions to get the joke :/

Yeah, the washing-down effect doesn't look very good or realistic, so it doesn't work.

Justice is blind, y'all! I guess we just have to accept that some people are more equal than others, especially the rich.

Because they like it?

The same Avril Lavigne that invented curling?

What the president elect fails to understand is mainly how the world works if your daddy isn't able to give you a small loan of a million bucks.

Society is in a rotten state. People don't care about others or others' rights, they only care about themselves in the depraved delusion that one day they will have "made it". Look back 4 years ago when people were too selfish to cut out their weekend binge drinking or simply wearing a mask to protect others (and themselves). Introspection, empathy, consideration, those are gone, it's all about self-worth, "confidence" (god how I hate that word) and self-respect to push the inevitable realization that what one is doing is unsustainable and damaging to everyone else far, far back into the future.

I don't know why you take so much offense that I wrote that it doesn't surprise me one bit that a fascist is elected over someone who people are sure to not benefit from. The 40 users of lemmy who show respect and care are not representative to society as a whole from what I've seen.

I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.

The ICC are anti-semites! Let's send him more weapons for his genocidecountry's defense!

The moment the Democrats lost the election was the one when Harris was asked what she would do differently than Biden and her answer was basically "nothing". If you ever run for president and are asked that question, just pick something at random and say "Biden does not enough for X. I would make sure that X would be a priority issue!"

This level of stupidity is not the voter's (or non-voter's) fault. Dems made their bed rock and now everyone has to lie in it.

Trump doesn't care about the NATO. He thinks it's a big US-led charity organization that protects the weak, poor other countries who rally under the umbrella because murricah is just so superior and cool. I don't think he actively seeks to destroy it, but if his actions lead to its downfall, he would not be upset at all.

That looks like a bread bowl with tomato soup. I would eat it, but I would not call it a pizza.

Edit: I swear I replied from my inbox without looking at the other comments and based on the second pic you posted, I'd say it looks like a quiche lorraine, but with tomato sauce instead of bacon and onions.
