Definitely. He emboldened Bush with his Christian bullshit.

Yeah, on the other hand he's never going to face up to what he's done so you're right, he probably shouldn't have brought up the single most authoritarian policy New Labour ever proposed.

Blair needs to ~~stop sticking his oar in and give the new government time and space to crack on with fixing the mess left by the Tories. I’m sure ministers have better things to do than shoot down his bad ideas.~~ be dragged off to prison for war crimes.

Tomatyo, Tomahto.

I know damn well. Someone who knew police told me that when they do these type of stunts they invite the press and local councillors and hand out beer and then they all stand around waiting for the wind to "unpredictably" blow all the smoke all over the audience. Everyone winds up wrecked. Your tax at work in the great war against drugs.

Lasagne - I got layers.

Why do cops always burn weed to destroy it rather than dunking it in bleach or seawater or any of the thousand things you can do to it to render it unusable?

If you're browsing Lemmy, on your phone, in work then really you should be curating your feed a bit better.

Off topic, can we just take a moment to appreciate the art of the photographer that took this pic.

Well, I agree that everybody is different in certain ways but one of the main lessons of being in group was the revelation that broadly speaking we all want the same things and a lot of the mis-aimed strategies we'd adopted was stopping us from getting that stuff. A lot of people came through that community throughout the course of a year and while some of the stories were absolutely horrific, the problems were much the same, person to person.

Yes, the therapy was less effective for some than others and drugs absolutely should be available as a first-aid but I think that people should be moved on to other therapy as soon as they can use it.

I'm particularly hopeful about the results we are now seeing from psychedelic research into treatment resistant depression as I think that there are people for whom talk therapy won't work but if you look at recent research into SSRIs it seems that some are barely improving on the placebo effect.

So yes I'm in favour of multiple approaches but it seems that SSRIs are outcompeting other treatments because the decisions are being made on the basis of cost and that means that those other treatments simply will not exist in the future.

Worked for me.

It's a scam and we shouldn't be encouraging it. The thieves put the spikes up every day and then the crow distracts people while the thieves pick their pockets. The crows only get 15% of the proceeds.
