  • Just beautiful. But I’m apprehensive about growing since it’s illegal here. Just a few days ago I watched a local “Cops”-type show where they “busted” someone using a mini-swat type of deal for the egregious crime of self-medicating his chronic back pain. He didn’t have any plants, but they found twelve plant pots with the stems, so he got charged with 12x production with intent to distribute.

    Now, no one goes to actual jail for this, but his sentence will be something like 6 months probation + 12x 7k€ fine. That scares the absolute shit out of me, while a few dozen km to the north or east, it’s legal or decriminalized. I hate living in the most ass-backwards country in Western Europe.

    Some of us are painfully aware.

    I’m 40 and going through a major midlife crisis. No savings, no hope for a higher paid job than entry level despite two degrees. The thought of having to do this for 25 more years is debilitating.

    My votes don’t matter because the parties I vote for are consistently below the 10% threshold needed to get representation. Meanwhile, life gets worse year after year and the goddamn far right gets more votes every election.

    Most of us are utterly doomed to serfdom at best and near-chattel slavery at worst. Someone make it make sense, because I sure can’t.
