[00:40] Isambard_Prince I forked the Linux kernel and managed a branch of it on my desktop years ago. [00:41] Isambard_Prince Since I never released any binaries to the public I had no requirements under the GPL to give a copy of that to anyone as source code.

[00:45] Isambard_Prince Regarding drugs harder than marijuana. [00:45] Isambard_Prince I've used that several times. [00:46] Isambard_Prince There was a Japanese movie I was watching a while back where the man says that he can't stand drug addicts, they're unreliable and worthless. [00:47] Isambard_Prince So someone I was talking to on a dating app said "You don't use drugs do you?" [00:47] MinceR WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS [00:48] Isambard_Prince I said, no, drug users are unreliable and worthless, I've smoked marijuana but only a couple of times, the stuff that's harder than that should be illegal because the brain stops working, but those laws are like "Don't drive on the railroad tracks.", they should not have to exist because no smart person would use them.
