Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Return to the office empowers the cartels.
I dont underatand people who use coke to get things done. I never got jack shit done on coke, unless you count talking a mile a minute and drinking a lot. Adderall on the other hand, I work my ass off on Adderall.
I've smoked crack on Adderall and once on meth...wouldn't recommend it's just a bit too much both times I wanted to leave the house so bad but I knew I'd get myself in trouble because I felt like a mixture of Jesus Christ and the Hulk, nothing and no once could've stopped me...in my mind.
Yeah me neither, I don't like coke but I like the way it smells.
I dont like it either, until I've had a hit, then I love it. But not half as much as I love it once I've run out
It's just far too fleeting, especially for the price.
I only ever did it on Fridays so I wouldn't develop a habit (though doing it every Friday is kind of a habit). I'd run out around 1am, get super anxious because I desperately wanted more but my guy wasn't answering his phone, try to go to bed still anxious speedy with a sore nose, finally fall asleep several hours later, and wake up around evening time in Saturday. One day I looked outside and I was like damn, that was a really fucking nice day in wasted, I could have gone hiking. That's when I quit.
Wouldnt it be the feeling of getting work done?
Nah, I never had any illusion that I was doing anything useful
Same I can't imagine being productive with that thing. I need calm and focus, not jitters and zealotry
Hurry up! We need moar economic metastasis!
This planet isn't going to incinerate itself 🔥🔥🔥
The report noted changing attitudes have contributed to cocaine's spread, with the drug now being seen as more familiar and less dangerous than two decades ago.
And yet, they won't vote for legalisation. Big brain moments.
Nah, here in France we've been using the same revolutionary approach to drugs for decades now: be tougher on crime. We're more and more repressive, while usage keeps climbing. Each new interior minister scoffs at the idea of legalization, explaining instead that his predecessors failed because they just weren't tough enough.
A war on drugs also creates soldiers on the other side. Merseille is a good example.
Add this to the pile of reasons why it's a terrible idea, except for traffickers and politics looking to score cheap points with the right I guess...
France: hard on for drugs!
I can understand executives, or people in finance, being able to not just justify their use of cocaine on the job, but more importantly, be able to afford it.
Unless cocaine prices have come down exponentially in the last decade, I can't imagine being a shift worker and relying on cocaine to get through the day.
I'm going to call bullshit on this reporting. I would have believed that if they just said cocaine use has gone up, or that recreational use outside of work has risen.
If cocaine was dirt cheap, meth wasn't cheap, or if it was hard to get an amphetamine prescription, I would be more willing to accept this reporting.
But as it stands, cocaine isn't cheap, meth is, and prescription amphetamines are more common then ever.
Have you been in a restaurant kitchen? Coke is the goto for staff, even at their shitty pay. It's really rampant in our K-town districts, they probably get bulk discounts.
I didn't say there was no cocaine use. There's always some level of drug use, what I call bullshit on is the idea that cocaine replaced Adderall en masse.
Workers who need stimulants already have much better, and exponentially cheaper, drugs to use for that purpose.
Like I said, if the article was talking about work-life balance driving more recreational drug use as a coping mechanism, I would believe that.
I don't believe that shift workers are replacing cheap and long lasting stimulants with the most expensive stimulant available.
In some areas, ADD meds are harder to come by than coke. I'm just reporting what I see and hear. It's probably not true everywhere, but in certain areas, coke is way easier to get.
Just a small nit, I would say 'much' cheaper or 'dramatically' cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that's just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.
Thought they went to a 4 day work week.
