Technically, any chemically induced change of state of mind that doesn't require a third party to supervise, can be considered self medication.

Morning coffee? Self medication. Going for a jog to feel better? Self medication. Getting blackout drunk on your own? Self medication. Midnight wank when you can't sleep? Self medication.

You know what's NOT self medication? Taking shrooms or LSD or any other hallucinogenics with a trip sitter.

Maybe if I lick the boot hard enough, it won't be on my own neck? Just maybe, just this one time?

Fallout has always been a commentary about how unregulated capitalism is the ruin of everything. From the very first game.

  • Vault-Tec fleeced its customers and double dipped, selling already filled vaults to other corporations to run experiments in them
  • WestTek knowingly delivered faulty power armors to the US military, knowing full well that it would result in the deaths of US soldiers in a war which could end the existence of West-Tek itself, but they didn't care, short term profits trumped long term existence.
  • Nuka-Cola literally contained isotopes of radioactive elements as a selling point... not to mention the excessive amount of sugar and caffeine (120% of daily recommended sugar intake per bottle)
  • may I remind everyone about the FEV? A literal miracle cure for all viral (bioweapon) infection, but that wasn't enough, capitalists had to go further and think "but what if we used to mutate the entire population?"

Given the size of the singular testicle, I think the scales are right-ish.

You don't need AI to flag emails based on keywords... let's not make everything about AI please.

Biometrics are an issue because in most jurisdictions (not just the US but globally), you can't be coerced to provide your password/passcode - but absolutely nothing stops LE from forcing you to provide biometric data to unlock the device.

How mind-numbingly idiotic the DHS can be?

Man sends email to DHS.

Agents later show up, show him the email he sent, and demand he present "his side of the story".

My dudes in idiocracy, WHAT THE ACTUAL LIVING FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT EMAIL WAS?

Let me help you out: that was "his side of the story".

Oh, wait a moment. They didn't show up to gather more information - because that's idiotic - but to threaten him with their mere presence, and deter any further emails...

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask questions, as the sub info says nothing about them, but hopefully this is still considered relevant.

I am about to travel to my home country, Hungary, in a few weeks. Haven't been back in years, and there's one thing I really miss: horse sausage. This is a somewhat traditional dry sausage (closer to a salami really), made of 100% horse meat, from horses reared specifically this purpose.

Horse meat is not listed on any of the banned lists, and most articles related to the topic on gov.uk do specify that horses are NOT susceptible to FMD.

However most of the info related to the ban does begin with "you're not allowed to import meat and dairy products" before specifying the banned species list - again, horse meat is NOT included on these lists.

Overall the bans are quite confusingly worded and aren't straightforward.

There's also mention of commercial documents needed - but only for non-human-consumption meat products (e.g. dog food).

So my question is, ultimately, can I bring 3-4kg of this sausage into the country, and if yes, what paperwork would I need? Most EU certifications are out of the question as these sausages are made by small local farms who don't really label or package the products much since it's not meant for export. Some more commercial options do have the label, but only in Hungarian.

I have sent a message to gov.uk with the relevant page linked however I'm yet to hear back and given I'm about to travel... I'd like to have some definitive answers before I get some £50-60 worth of meat confiscated at the airport.
