@realJennaEllis All the evidence from the past proves that prohibition achieves nothing except wasting police resources that could be better spent on fighting other issues. I'm in favour of cannabis legalization worldwide. Prohibition doesn't stop consumption, it stops people getting help.

Trump downgrading medical marijuana is a massive mistake. THC—the psychoactive component—is the issue. It’s what gets users high, and it’s what most people are actually seeking when they push for “expanded access.” If the goal is legitimate medical treatment, there’s no reason to broaden access to high-THC content products. That’s not medicine, that’s policy drift toward recreation and a big safety risk for society. And in Florida especially, this matters. If Byron Donalds becomes governor, expect a full push toward recreational legalization. He’s a former weed dealer, didn’t oppose Amendment 3, and has a shady relationship with Trulieve. Florida doesn’t need to go down that road. Keep it family-friendly, keep it free—and don’t pretend THC expansion is about medicine.

@Matt_Pinner Any form of public sector work in the community like litter picking or cleaning should be isolated to real jobs, I think it's abhorrent that they're allowed to shift so much work onto unpaid volunteers instead of opening real paying job positions to people who are eager.

“Genuine question… If someone is claiming benefits and is able to work, is it really unreasonable to ask them to do a few hours a week helping the community? Even something simple like litter picking or cleaning up local parks.” What are your Thoughts?

@kamikaziking420 @0xmarchesss @TheGriftReport As someone who works, sincerely go eat all the raw sewage that water companies illegally dump.

@0xmarchesss @TheGriftReport hot take, benefits should be scrapped , can eat ? soup kitchen , cant work? euthanasia , have kids and cant feed them ? kids go in state care and forced into military schools and provided an education and trades training, very easy to fix the leeching of the taxpayers

Benefit cheat Bethany Elwood, 31, pocketed £78,057 in Universal Credit by lying she was single for over four years. The mum-of-two from Parson Cross, Sheffield, kept claiming as a lone parent even after her full-time employed boyfriend moved in with her in the mid-2020s. She failed to update the DWP and continued raking in the cash until a member of the public tipped off the fraud hotline in 2024. When interviewed she initially denied it but then made a full admission. At Sheffield Magistrates’ Court she was given a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years and ordered to repay the full £78k at just £20 a month. The judge called it a “long term, wilful fraud for a great deal of money” that defrauds every taxpayer. £20 a month......

@aMoral_Mistake @762x54RAWR I guarantee almost every country that legalises weed in the future will see a dip in the amount of people who smoke it. For one, when people are having trouble quitting they won't be afraid to get help and 2, there's no longer as much urge to smoke it to be "rebellious".

@762x54RAWR Top 3 countries to use cannabis are all countries where it is illegal at the national level

i didnt know they got down like that in china

@Whambo99 @kinsleysteph76 @albieamankona There's also the problem that of the 3 things listed, alcohol is the only one that the withdrawal symptoms can literally kill you. They're all bad, but if alcohol is legal, there's no valid reason for weed to be illegal.

@kinsleysteph76 @albieamankona Can you tell me where I said alcohol wasn't problematic? There is a slight difference between problems caused by a lifetime of heavy drinking and the permanent changes to brain chemistry that have been documented from low cannabis use.

420 has been around since I was at school, and through out the whole 14 year period the Tories were in power. The whole pantomime of cannabis criminalisation now looks absurd. A small-state, pro-liberty political party would end the farce: legalise it, regulate it, and tax its sale openly, just as we do with alcohol and cigarettes, both of which are scientifically more harmful than cannabis. I say that as someone who cannot stand the smell of the stuff.

@moggggel @CPhilpOfficial the government are the ones contributing to that illegal market by keeping it fucking illegal.

@CPhilpOfficial This is not a victimless crime. The illegal cannabis market is run by county lines gangs with all the misery and violence that goes with it. The so-called progressives who condone its consumption are massive hypocrites.

I heard about an event yesterday where thousands of people planned to smoke cannabis illegally in Hyde Park The organisers said the police wouldn’t do anything about it So I went along to find out what was happening I was shocked by what I found

@CPhilpOfficial oh, get bent. cannabis shouldn't even be illegal

@pat_wensor @TheGriftReport the best

@TheGriftReport Hawaiian pizza? 🤮

Black Birmingham mum handed pizza box labelled "KKK" by Domino's staff. Charmaine Porter, 42, ordered a pizza for her 14-year-old daughter from the Bristol Road Selly Oak store on March 19. No name was taken when she placed the order. When she collected it, both the order screen and the pizza box displayed "KKK" while every other order showed actual customer names. Domino's admitted it was a genuine error with no malicious intent. A spokesperson said in full: “We apologise to the customer for how this situation was handled in our store. While this arose from a genuine error with no malicious intent, we recognise the situation would have been distressing. The franchise has been in contact with the customer to apologise and the customer has received a full refund.” Charmaine said she felt angry, frustrated and deeply embarrassed for her daughter, with no remorse shown by staff, and has vowed never to return to the store.

@Dexerto This is going to back fire horribly, it might actually increase youth smoking rates. Illegal tobacco is already easy to obtain, and being legally too young to do something often encourages younger people to engage in that behaviour.

The UK government has agreed to ban people born after 1 January 2009 from buying cigarettes

Probably a hot take, but I honestly think Roblox should allow simulation gambling in their adult only games section. There's much worse evils than someone gambling some virtual currency. However, I think it should come with the caveat that currency purchasing should be banned.

@winton_chann @czk1et @ValraSwag Roblox has in game ads including for external brands these days, which includes a complete ban on online advertising of those foods and means they have to follow those rules when serving ads to anyone in the UK. It's unlikely an individual's account will ever be banned for it.

@icanlevitateoff @czk1et @ValraSwag yeah but how exactly does roblox have anything to do with this to the point they make it a ban reason

Roblox just added some new interesting ban reasons

@MaximumADHD To be honest, it's a miracle Roblox existed for so long with nonexistent publishing restrictions. Legally, it was always a massive risk and with the intense legal scrutiny Roblox has been under lately, if was an unfortunate inevitability.

I hate what this community has become, honest to god. You are required to follow the doomer mob mentality narrative, and get called a bootlicker for even remotely trying to inject some nuance into the conversation. Here's a real bold hot take for you guys: Roblox is not dying.

@czk1et @ValraSwag I believe the HFSS stands for high fat, sugar or salt. Basically, it's likely a policy for in game ads that applies in some regions since I know the UK banned ads in most forms for high fat sugar or salt foods.

@ValraSwag Imagine getting banned for "Food and Beverage"

@BoxBoi17705 @bemob_f @asimo3089 @DJMonopoli No one ever explicitly bought a lifetime premium subscription. They didn't have to transfer the Lifetime builders club subscriptions, but they did. On a legal basis "lifetime" means the life of that specific product. In this case, builder's club which is long gone.

@bemob_f @asimo3089 @DJMonopoli They would have to, or otherwise refund you for the money that you paid.

I genuinely HATE a lot of the new requirements for publishing games on Roblox, but I'm also not going to sit here and deny that it will absolutely make Roblox a safer place, which is realistically what we all wanted, so I'm torn. Bottom line is, (no matter how much everyone believes there is) there's just not a whole lot of truly effective and plausibly implementable solutions for ACTUALLY improving safety and moderation on a platform as big and complex as Roblox, and you can't really compare Roblox to any other gaming platforms, because it's just different in almost every way. It's just a shame that all of these solutions come with such a horrible cost of negatively affecting the platform and player experience in such a dramatic way... 🥲

@idelww @ReverseRBLX It will be if you want your games to be available to under 16s.

@ReverseRBLX Where is this? Plus is not needed to publish public experiences? That changes alot. I might also not buy any Roblox Plus if that's the case.

Back in 2007 or 2008 I won a contest, the prize of which was free lifetime OBC. So...I only get a 1 month trial of their new program instead of lifetime? Pretty disappointing.

@heyimcrim @fortbrleakks if everyone can use it, its not an advantage.

@fortbrleakks Why not instead add in a hearing-based captcha that you have to pass in order to turn on the setting? I assume the nerf is due to the comp bros using this setting for an advantage even though they can hear just fine

An Epic Games employee has hinted that they're going to nerf the option to visualize sound effects.

@GamerLXXXVI @OfficialDLive Twitch. Amazon has been purposely running it into the ground for years, at this point the real money for Amazon is in selling their streaming technology to other companies. I can't see Twitch making it that much longer before Amazon decides it's not a worthwhile venture.

@OfficialDLive End of an era. Thanks for the contributions. Trovo is out DLive is out. Who is next?
