They can make healthy choices or unhealthy ones; what matters is that it's their choice. And everyone is different. Some are going to enjoy their life and have the least amount of suffering if they absolutely abstain from any recreational substance, and some aren't.
disagree
people are a lot more similar than you seem to think they are
What? People are extremely diverse. We're of course the same species and similar in our general ambitions, but the kinds of things we like and dislike, our dispositions in general, are widely varied.

"Space travel and research is a waste of time and money."
the delusion is in thinking that this statement is delusional
>practically infinite free water that's already clean
>Basically infinite fuel sources, be it fusion fuel in gas giants or in lunar dirt, or millions of earth's worth of hydrocarbons on titan
>abundance of rare (andnot rare) earth materials in asteroid belts
>the need for lightweight materials necessitating research in materials development, quantum computing, renewable sources of food and energy and air
>microgravity and climate-controlled environments allow for better crop yields than on earth
>lack of atmosphere allows solar energy to be much more efficient than earthbased measures
>the ability to literally dispose of harmful materials by throwing them into a star or a gasgiant and permanently dispose of them
Also one to appeal to you
>meat being a highly inefficient means of nutrition means anyone living in space wouldn't be eating animals all too often
There's a bunch more I've forgot but I'm on the train right now so eh. The long term benefits outweight the short term disadvantages. Also, I haven't mentioned colonisation once, just something to note. Space travel directly or indirectly spurs the development of sustainable energy and other resources, as well as materials science allowing current manufacturing processes to get cheaper, quicker, less resource-intensive overall.
Plus, it enhances our knowledge of the universe we live in and the rules that make everything work. For me, that's prospect enough.
Each and every one of those broad concepts is an entire endeavor in and of itself that will cost billions of dollars in funding. And we really can't afford that right now; we're literally coming a few decades close to an energy crisis. We need to be sinking every spare technological dollar on efficient renewable energy at this point. Once we have that mastered, we'll have the stability to put energy and money into space shit.

Class is pretty much Mr. Contrarian.
Literally how I love Fallout, Call of Duty, Breaking Bad, The Beatles, etc but I guess because I have political opinions you disagree with I'm one of the people who changes their views on a dime based on what's unpopular

And agency, in the sense I'm talking about, doesn't create suffering. It takes an inherently bad concept and gives it the potential to at least carry some pleasure. Robbing people of the agency to do whatever they want to their own bodies - and more than that, criticizing them for it - only creates more suffering through lack of means to cope with life.
"drugs are the only way to cope with life"
overdose and die
Never said that but ok I thought we were talking about the whole concept of agency in an individual's life They can make healthy choices or unhealthy ones; what matters is that it's their choice. And everyone is different. Some are going to enjoy their life and have the least amount of suffering if they absolutely abstain from any recreational substance, and some aren't.

Why should NC abandon its evangelical culture
Lawmakers in NC, or any state, should subside their evangelical beliefs while at work, because there's that crazy new act called the separation of church and state.
The NC constitution actually requires elected officials to profess belief in a higher power.
So? Hypocritical and morally heinous laws are enacted and struck down constantly in the US. Religion has no impact on policy, and any lawmaker who takes his faith into account before signing bills is a terrible lawmaker and person.

Yeah it's so depressing people have agency over their own lives. yes
it really really really really is
agency is the worst thing about reality, by far
Agency is the only thing that even gives slight meaning to life. If you have to be born, then you should be able to live out your put-upon existence in the way that you want to, as long as it's not hindering on how others want to live their lives. Without agency, every baby should just kill themselves right out of the womb. Because they have to suffer existence without having any pleasure at all.

I had high hopes for her is all.
It's kinda depressing tbh
Yeah it's so depressing people have agency over their own lives. If she enjoys what she's doing, then your high hopes weren't squandered.

But hold on, Das. Does she really smoke pot all day?
oh man the horror
Smoking a but of weed every now and then is okay in my book.
Being a totally pothead to the point where your life revolves around a fucking plant and you can go fuck yourself.
You made a personal life choice that's literally only your business? What a scumbag, you can go fuck yourself!

"Americans"
People, you are either British or from somewhere else in Europe.
Unless of course you got that American blood in you...
If you're born in America, you're American. Where your great grandpa was born doesn't affect you.
"Europeans"
People, you are either from Sumer or somewhere else in the Middle East.
Blood > location.
If you are born in country A but your sister is born in country B = you are still siblings.
we all have African/Middle Eastern blood, then or you can accept that being American is a concept that exists I don't know why almost every single European has this weird inferiority complex

"Hey guys, never mind my numerous scandals, my shady foundation, my money from Wall Street and other special interests, my obvious and disingenuous shift to the left to appeal to Bernie voters, my flip flops on the key stone pipeline and TPP, my disastrous voting record on Iraq and trade agreements which hurt the middle-class, just look at muh aliens!"
be careful, the shills around here love TPP

Pretty smart, considering there's no "data" on the subject in the first place, but this gets her freedom of information supporters and alien enthusiast supporters. A win win on her part.
