??? Both options are the same thing tho?

Welcome to old.

Bing chat will do it

Simple fact of the matter is that that sounds really inconvenient, and needs justifying. If there are readily available biodegradable options right there, why on earth wouldn’t you use them?

They are pretty convenient though. Are there any sustainable alternatives?

Like with straws, I know for fact that there are non-paper biodegradable ones.

Also, with discovery of plastic-eating bacteria, how is the definition of biodegradable shifting?

Edit: Obligatory mention of industry regulations being more effective in helping the environment

If they’re not stealing for money, supporting the black market, dying of overdoses, or spreading disease by sharing needles, and have consistent dosages and proximity to support programs, why quit?

Probably the massive social stigma and loss of positive effects due to built tolerance.

It would make the problem way less urgent at any rate.

Giving addicts free drugs is a subset of harm reduction. Honestly, at this point in the discussion, we need numbers to be productive.

Common sense is extremely subjective.

Is it really more effective to not help addicts than to use harm reduction methods?

“Facts over feels” and all that.

Mandatory care has the same incentive against self reporting though?

Do we have any data on relapse rates from this vs non-mandatory methods? My guess would be high recidivism if the person is released back into the exact same circumstances in which they started using in the first place.

Do you have a source for that?

Exactly. They’re addicted. They’re going to get the drugs one way or another. May as well minimize the harm.

Permanently. And “quit” seems like too light a word for the herculean task of getting clean. They deserve all the help we can give. That it essentially removes all the negative externalities should make this a no-brainer.

Throw me a bone here. Is there like an existing reasons it sucks or do you just hate snakes?

Why tho

First time I’m hearing about it. Any fun gimmicks?

Python has its flaws for sure (I’m getting pretty fed up with the lack of required type notation, myself), but my point here is that bash is even worse:

Any suggestions for linter?

Is there a way to disable the old c++ features? Or some kind of linter that points them out and suggests the new ways?

Ruuuuuuust

C++ was necessary, and truly great compared to its predecessor. But the world has marched on. Rust is the current benchmark.
