It's so crazy how Valve gets called a monopoly because of how their competition refuses to make anything of equivalent quality. It literally took the epic games store years before they had a shopping cart to check out in. Valve is the only one with good customer service, a solid refund policy, and no 3rd party exclusives in the platform. Valve is basically the only one that's not a publically traded company, so it's not responsible to shareholders and going through enshittification like everything else.

Its like imagine five barbers in town. One gets all the business and is rich, but he's nothing amazing, just a reliable barber. The other four barbers are constantly using rusty razors and punch customers in the throat right before they leave. No matter what anyone tells them, they won't stop. New razors cost money they don't want to spend, and your hair gets cut mostly the same in the end so why bother?

So they sue the first guy for having a monopoly.

This sentiment is so frustratingly purposefully helpless.

"We can't put Trump in jail! That's what he and his followers want! When he gets out of jail, he will be able to go back to doing the things he is currently doing! People will even give him more money! Our entire judicial system is too frail and weak to have any possible thing they can do besides fine him ineffectually and give him more warnings! I've never heard of community service being assigned anyone before! I even like to pretend that probation and house arrest aren't real! We just can't do anything ever or he wins!"

While it depends on the individual, adhd treatment is one of the reasons a doctor can prescribe medical Marijuana. It's literally one of the things it is currently approved for it to be medically dispensed to treat, at least in Virginia.

I've had doctors tell me not to smoke plenty of times. Usually it comes from a good place but not a super informed one, as a lot of people havent done any research into Marijuana or ever used it. Generally they just give me a talking to and move on to more important things.

I've never had myself drug tested by a doctor but I think some do if they are prescribing stimulant adhd meds or pain killers. I heard it was to make sure you were using them and not selling them though.

There isn't an argument. It's just a statement that I think you sound purposefully pathetic and that's an annoying sentiment to see online.

Ah yes, thank you for reminding us to be aware of Trump. If only we as a nation could just reach sufficient awareness of Trump

Is this Manga ever going to become interesting again? They've been going through away testing for years
