I think they mean the millionaires will find other ways to hoard it to avoid tax levels they won't stomach. Fair? No. Reality? Probably.

What are the other 81 photos like though?!

Woah this looks amazing. Now I have a new project to add to the list! Got any videos of it in use? How does it feel? Did you document the build process?

Damn you for opening up these possibilities!

Looks great! Always looking for good chilli recipes, care to share?

I said something similar in another reply, but I can't think of any games where winning/losing is possible but doesn't change my enjoyment. Even elden ring invasions feel better if you win the encounter.

The only thing that could come close is an encounter like that or in something like DMZ where you can talk it out and join forces, but maybe that's just another form of winning.

Trying to think of an example of any games I play where winning or losing is possible, but doesn't affect my enjoyment.

I'm coming up short, I don't think I can honestly say that I have one. Anyone else?

What counts as a "competitive game" - is it anything where there are winners and losers or something more specific?

I won't if it's about weight/centre of gravity. Holding a full mug by the handle is more effort and less comfortable.

Plus my fingers don't get all toasty warm.

The safe space idea is interesting. Maybe there would be a correlation between the type of drug and risks associated with it and the use of those spaces. I'm not sure people would make the effort to go to a space to smoke when they can do it pretty safely at home.

I was thinking about this some more yesterday and ultimately land in the area of it's a good sounding change and if it leads to some instances of antisocial behaviour, then let's look at how we solve that afterwards. Were never going to find a single perfect solution to everything and meanwhile people are dying.

I can put my "what about me?!" problems to one side.

Seems like a sensible step and possibly free up public services a little for other things? Legalising and taxing feels like a good thing too, but maybe I'm being naieve. Overall though, good for society.

My biggest worry, and it's such a selfish worry, is how it affects me. I've had neighbours (terrace and semi-detached) who smoke weed and it causes everyone's house to stink. It's a shitty experience and something you can't do a lot about. Would that happen more and more with decriminalisation/legalisation? You can use whatever substances you like, but should I be affected by that choice?

I'm not sure I trust people to consider others, drugs or not.

Don't suppose he said why he believed taxpayers need that?

I've experienced working a 4 day week and I found it such a positive experience both from how much I got done in the 4 days and how much happier I was. I'd love for everyone to have that opportunity, especially public sector workers.
