      Oh no, better tell that to John Oliver before he gets cancelled.

      I get that Gwimbly is supposed to be a washed-up aughts mascot platformer star, in the vein of Sonic or Bubsy, but who specifically is he meant to be most like? From the little gameplay sample in the lobby it reminded me of Banjo Kazooie, certainly the mention of a Gwimbly Gun and a sidekick in Mr. Millipede seems to enhance that similarity, but collecting cream corn and the guy's general body plan and twitchy polygons make me think more of Crash Bandicoot.

      His uncanny animation reminded me of Rayman 2.

      How long has doug tennapel been some weird extremist christcuck? Has he been this way since the 90s or did he only become some born again relatively recently or something?

      If you've seen/played the first Neverhood game, you'd know.

      Japan has never experienced any of the good Sonic media beyond the Genesis games. Japanese Sonic has always been a bland, personality-free marketable plushie, and SEGA has scrupulously avoided exposing them to any rude dude 'tude from the western side of things lest they miss the chance at being the next Hello Kitty.

      Weebs will frame this as a good thing, naturally, and Sonic's failure in Japan as a mere coincidence

          It's a complex little problem.

          Objectively, fentanyl is a great narcotic. They use it in hospitals for a reason: it works. The issue arises with dosing. There's a scientific term, LC50, which means "what dosage kills off half of the test subjects we give it to?", as a way of accounting for some people having higher natural tolerance than others. For fentanyl, the LC50 dose is so small that you could just barely coat the head of a pencil eraser with the powder if you flattened it out as much as you could. Getting a high off of it, of course, takes even less than that. An equivalent number of hits of fentanyl takes a fraction of the space that so many hits of cocaine would take, which means you can transport it far more easily and far more discreetly. As an added bonus, it's cheaper to make.

          The problem is that the average drug dealer is not a trained chemist. The further down the distribution chain you get, the more it declines from "guy that did the math on the reactions" to "guy that bought more drugs than he uses, so he can make more money for drugs". You hit a point, often pretty close to the end user, where some idiot has the valid idea of "I can mix in a little fentanyl with my shitty cocaine to get a cheaper, better product that gives me repeat customers" and follows it up with the shitty idea of "I will mix 100 safe doses of fentanyl with 100 safe doses of my shitty cocaine and a big pile of filler, and I'll do all of this in a big mixing bowl with a spoon." One bad mixing job later and you have 190 doses of cut cocaine and 10 death sentences.

                Cutting is when you mix something into the drug to pretend you have more than you actually do. The most commonly known example would be putting baby powder in the cocaine you're selling.
                I have 100 grams of fentanyl that costs X per gram to make
                I have 50 grams of xylazine that looks the same as fentanyl, feels similar, but costs less and nobody wants to buy it

                Through the magic of cutting, I now have 150 grams of "fentanyl"

                Anon, regulating it wouldn't fix shit. Like you said, there's practically zero barriers to entry, so any schmuck that felt like it could start making and selling fent if he felt like it. When there's that many potential suppliers it becomes practically impossible for regulations to be consistently applied and enforced. What's more, a lot of the "legitimate" drug-dealers in such an environment would still have strong incentives to break theese regulations when they see fit, and the fact that their main business would be legal makes it easier for them to hide the even shadier shit they do (you see a lot of this type of thing in jurisdictions where prostitution is legal). Making drugs legal wouldn't fix anything, all it would do give a cleaner face to the same deeds and potentially weaken the social stigma surrounding hard drugs. The more sensible solution would be to reduce the size of the market via effective rehabilitation for drug addicts and increase the risks and costs associated with trying to supply it by increasing penalties for drug-dealing (as well as other, more general socioeconomic policies to reduce poverty and criminality).

                Good, that stigma is what prevents us from actually helping these people.
                >The more sensible solution would be to reduce the size of the market via effective rehabilitation
                Rehabilitation doesn't meaningfully reduce the size of the market, for that you have to prevent addiction in the first place by removing monetary incentives in the system to give people shit like oxy and then not wean them. People getting fent off the street are people that were prescribed opiates, never weened, and kicked off the drugs when they could no longer pay or get a prescription.

                And none of that has anything to do with whether street legalization would cripple the black market (it would) or prevent addicts from falling deeper into a poverty spiral (it would)

                There's a lot of shit that can and should be done at multiple angles.

                As i mentioned before, this type of shit already happens in places where things like prostitution are legalized. It's a lot easier to disguise cases of human trafficking when you use a legal prostitution business as a front. There's been several cases of this type of thing happening in countries like the Netherlands, and doubtless similar practices would arise with the legalization of illicit drugs.
                >Good, that stigma is what prevents us from actually helping these people.
                An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure they say. While the social stigma might not make rehabilitation any easier, it does prevent others from getting addicted in the first place. Wide-spread knowledge of the dangers (both personal and legal) associated with drugs would prove, i'd imagine, a powerful incentive to avoid them for those otherwise inclined. Of course, this would not apply to everyone, but the undeterred group could still be helped via the socioeconomic methods i mentioned.
                >Rehabilitation doesn't meaningfully reduce the size of the market
                Perhaps not the entire market, but doubtlessly segments dependent on repeat sales would be adversely affected. Besides, the policy i proposed seeks to reduce both the supply and demand. Harsher punishments for drug-dealers discourage them from entering the market, while rehabilitation helps those who've now been cut-off from their supply to kick the habit.
                >for that you have to prevent addiction in the first place by removing monetary incentives in the system to give people shit like oxy and then not wean them.
                I don't oppose this. i'd welcome it even. It's a part of the comprehensive approach that i think would be the most effective solution. However, I think legalizing these drugs would hinder rather than help that approach. If any shithead with even a vague familiarity with chemistry could offer him a jolt of hard-stuff as he's being weaned-off of opiates, it would definitely make matters much more difficult.

                Every ounce of research and common sense says that increasing penalties does not reduce incidence. Instead it increases associated acts of violence and negligence performed to escape capture. Making the penalty for dealing equivalent to manslaughter and you haven't reduced dealing, but you've given a bunch of dealers reason to commit manslaughter.

                You're simply incorrect on every single count, substituting what you wish or imagine were true for reality. I don't doubt that there's no small amount of "just world" thinking and condescension towards the general public involved.

                Perhaps in isolation, but once again, i do not propose that punishment alone would fix the issue. Efforts to provide alternative means of economic subsistence and advancement, improve education, reduction of many of the root causes of drug abuse such as, say, metal illness, these must all be adopted in order to combat the illicit drug trade. My point is that these drugs, and, most importantly, their sale must remain criminalized in order for these efforts to succeed. There must be no growth, no avenue for entry into this market if the issue is to be solved, and decriminalization of these drugs would ultimately make any attempt to do so pointless and futile.

                The idea that legalization grows the market is ancient and idiotic.
                All you have demonstrated is an ability to ignore the concept of survivorship bias - of course countries where regulation and legality makes enforcement easier catch and therefore report more trafficking. That's a good thing.

                Why would the drug dealers stop doing this if it was made legal?

              • 1 month ago
                Anonymous

                Because if it was legal to take those drugs, people suffering from it would be able to report the dealers to the police without getting themselves arrested. Same reason why sex traffickers and food companies with zero safety standards prefer to use illegal immigrants for their labor.

                Look at what happened repeatedly with weed. As soon as it becomes legal, investors exploit an economy of scale and price out the corner dealers. The guy buying warehouses of product can sell for cheaper than the guy trying to resell at a mark-up, and having the license means they have a reason to keep their product in line with the legal standards. It's not that the guy on corner won't still want to cut his product with fillers and fentanyl to make more money, it's that he'll now have to compete with lower-priced, safer, legal alternatives. His customer base is immediately reduced to people that can't buy it legally (i.e. minors) and it stops being a racket that can fund a life.

              There is really no reason for drug dealers to give a shit about repeat customers. If you make a fent zombie and they just die, then you have their money and that's one less person who might potentially rat you out, since they'll either be in a casket or transformed into another waste of oxygen wandering in the bad part of some blue city, completely brain-fried and incapable of doing anything except eating and shitting themselves. And it's not like there will ever be a shortage of stupid kids who take drugs, so repeat customers simply aren't a concern.

              Fent is also pretty much the ideal dealer drug because it's highly-addictive with a high mortality rate, and you can lace it into pretty much anything since you need so little of it. And it's not just the hard drugs, the prevalence of fentanyl directly correlates with more places making marijuana something you can just freely ingest. People will just keep taking it though because the average IQ in this country keeps dipping below 90, never mind the drug cartel ethnicity making up a majority of people now.

          It's a complex little problem.

          Objectively, fentanyl is a great narcotic. They use it in hospitals for a reason: it works. The issue arises with dosing. There's a scientific term, LC50, which means "what dosage kills off half of the test subjects we give it to?", as a way of accounting for some people having higher natural tolerance than others. For fentanyl, the LC50 dose is so small that you could just barely coat the head of a pencil eraser with the powder if you flattened it out as much as you could. Getting a high off of it, of course, takes even less than that. An equivalent number of hits of fentanyl takes a fraction of the space that so many hits of cocaine would take, which means you can transport it far more easily and far more discreetly. As an added bonus, it's cheaper to make.

          The problem is that the average drug dealer is not a trained chemist. The further down the distribution chain you get, the more it declines from "guy that did the math on the reactions" to "guy that bought more drugs than he uses, so he can make more money for drugs". You hit a point, often pretty close to the end user, where some idiot has the valid idea of "I can mix in a little fentanyl with my shitty cocaine to get a cheaper, better product that gives me repeat customers" and follows it up with the shitty idea of "I will mix 100 safe doses of fentanyl with 100 safe doses of my shitty cocaine and a big pile of filler, and I'll do all of this in a big mixing bowl with a spoon." One bad mixing job later and you have 190 doses of cut cocaine and 10 death sentences.

          Jesus christ drug dealers are just idiots, arent they?

          There is really no reason for drug dealers to give a shit about repeat customers. If you make a fent zombie and they just die, then you have their money and that's one less person who might potentially rat you out, since they'll either be in a casket or transformed into another waste of oxygen wandering in the bad part of some blue city, completely brain-fried and incapable of doing anything except eating and shitting themselves.

    I get that Gwimbly is supposed to be a washed-up aughts mascot platformer star, in the vein of Sonic or Bubsy, but who specifically is he meant to be most like? From the little gameplay sample in the lobby it reminded me of Banjo Kazooie, certainly the mention of a Gwimbly Gun and a sidekick in Mr. Millipede seems to enhance that similarity, but collecting cream corn and the guy's general body plan and twitchy polygons make me think more of Crash Bandicoot.

      just curious, has anybody tried watching this show with someone who might not be familiar at all with internet culture? how did it go?
      like the cameo bit made me burst out laughing but i doubt my parents and less terminally online friends would have the same reaction

      the humor of smiling friends has a specific audience i feel

      I showed the mr frog episode to my sister and one of my normie friends and they thought the absurdity was funny in a weird way. None of them understood any of the internet humor but the pacing made it so even if you didn't understand a joke the show wouldn't linger for too long

      what internet culture references? the cameo bit is the only one i can think of.

      Whats in the first neverhood game that showcases dougs lunacy?

      By that logic Max G must've animated something for smiling friends too. If only we knew what it was

      thats kinda interesting cause i didnt even think of the fact that cameo wouldnt be a recognizable reference for a lot of people
      i think thats fine though, not everything needs to be for everyone

      I watched it with my older brother who is unaware of most of those things too and a lot of the jokes fly over him too but he doesn't dislike the show. Funnily enough, the episode he lile the most was the Brazil one because he said it reminded him to Family guy
