Gateway to free thinking

Its been my experience that 125cc motorcycles, Cessna 172's, DJI Mini-2 drones, and Ender-3's are also gateway drugs. Less illegal but just as damaging financially.

I often call e-bikes gateway drugs to motorcycles :)

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I'm older, for me normal bikes were gateway drugs to motorcycles.

On the other hand, for me normal bicycles were gateway drugs to even more expensive normal bicycles...

It is a gateway drug, not the. But it is the one that forwards most people to harder drugs.

Since weed is still illegal in many/most places, getting your hands on some could also introduce you to criminal elements that can provide a shorter route to harder drugs.

I write that as I recall joining a buddy as he went to some guys apartment to buy weed, and in the living room we were met with the dealer casually shooting heroin, asking if we'd like some. I can't recall ever having a stronger "holly shit I need to get out of here"-feeling.

I suddenly felt way too close to a road I did not want to go down.

Internet explorer ass comment, 2007 called, they want their hot take back

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

They're so proud of their "hot take," they took the screenshot themselves to post elsewhere

[–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

One of. The biggest is the fact that no one even thinks about sugar or caffeine.
