I'm skeptical, I hand out opioids on a daily basis, most people don't form a kind of dependence despite the fact they clearly activate the same "biomarker" as opioids. If you have links or anything I'd like to know Also I suspect whatever effect this is, is not to do with fructose per se, but it's intense sweetness. I'm open to being wrong

ur brain is hard wired to want sweet things since they were good to have as early humans because they gave energy in goodly amounts for the amount of effort required to get them

Ghostlight posted:Of course it is, but who's going to eat bitter sugar? after reading this I see the point, although like before I'd argue it's the sweetness not the fructose per se, which is why I didn't really agree with statements about "sugar" being additive, compared to say adding heroin to a cake. perhaps it's semantics.. regardless thanks for the link

Just my 2c to get in there: Any decent or thankfully mitigating clauses can only be attributed to the recognised fear of resistance, legal response, unpopularity as pointed out by tpp critics and the public over the last six years. Meanwhile being dismissed by Groser etc as baseless fears. Now afterwards some will say "oh look its not that bad, people were on about nothing".

What's the verdict on the TPPA for NZ now that the info is out? From what I gather, we don't seem to gain much and will adopt a bunch of American IP laws. So basically what was always expected?

jpparker55 posted:What's the verdict on the TPPA for NZ now that the info is out? From what I gather, we don't seem to gain much and will adopt a bunch of American IP laws. So basically what was always expected? Its hard to give a verdict just yet- there is a lot of material to work through. Some things won't really be able to assessed until there is some evidence of the resources put into application and enforcement that could still be many years away. There will still be a lot of conflict, argument about how things go in practice. Analogy: Consider New Zealand's 'skynet' IP infringement targeting law, holding the operators of WiFi networks more or less strictly liable for any infringement that happens on their network, your flatmate downloading the torrents and you might not even know etc. Anyways the law gets brought in, everyone is scared, a handful of people get notices because someone downloaded Beyonce and its as bad as everyone thought for a few people who get dragged in Court and significant harm to their lives. Tough deal for them but well... they are under 20 people from memory... its not quite the Skynet levels of interference we were worried about. But the tribunal quickly starts to turn out to be a lumbering beast, the process of issuing the notices and so on is too costly to keep up purely for "deterrence" value and just grinding against all of the natural ways ISP's and internet user do things. All the lawyers and official folks who fill these committees start to see it not as some arm of innovative property enforcement but just a grind. Credit to ISP's and everyone who made it difficult for them, just as it was made a cost and difficult for them. We would now say the risk of being pinged under the law is very small, contained. Few or no notices have been issued recently and it seems like its more or less a dead-letter committee on its way out. Unless you are getting on the level of that Mt Wellington mass-torrent seeder/creator FIFY or something, I would wager realistically you can just torrent and download as much as you did before that law came in just the same as before, really. RE whats in the TPPA and in practice: some of the ships will come straight to harbour, some will run aground or get lost, some will just patrol around the EEZ trying to make sure we know they are there just in case.

Unrelated, but looking at that list reminded me of the president of Botswana Ian Khama, whose father Seretse Khama was an unrivalled badass and kind of an overlooked political hero. He was a tribal leader from Botswana who married a white woman and was exiled after apartheid South Africa put pressure on the British govt (as Botswana was a colony at the time). He renounced his tribal leadership which allowed him to return, but then formed a political independence party and led Botswana to the only peaceful transition from colonial government to democratic independence of any African colonial nation. Then in government he turned Botswana into one of the safest, most prosperous and least corrupt countries in the region.
