An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I have been reading many stories about people having difficulties getting the peaceful meds to exit and I feel bad for you guys. The only good thing about living in a shithole country like Cambodia is I can just walk in certain pharmacies and get what I want and more. I could possibly get a dr to oversee that i pass peacefully if i pay him enough( which is still very little from a first world perspective).

Not related to trying to CTB(yes,we indeed have it hard on that notion. in my case,even more so because of our psychotic president),but being able to pirate entertainment(movies,video games,TV shows,anime,etc.)with impunity is definitely an advantage I enjoy. Piracy here is treated similar to how hard drugs are treated in countries with drug decriminalization laws. Technically still not legal,but law enforcement will not go out of their way to seek out and punish you.
EDIT: I can't speak for other 3rd world countries,but here where I live,our access to resources(for average people like me)are very limited.

Of course,its entirely possible that the problem I mention is only limited to specifically where I live and not the entire country,but these are just my observations. I could still be wrong.

I see. I understand bribery is rampant in the Philippines, couldn't you grease some palms to get what you need. I know people in thailand, laos and indonesia pretty much being able to get their hands on things that kill them five times over. is it because of Duturte that your country is so strict on drugs?

On top of the restrictions, one needs to take into account one's circle of influence. Sometimes you just need the right connection and the price. Corruption is rampant and money talks. I for one lacks both. You and I share the same observations my friend. And fuck that psychotic president.

and yeah,Duterte is the major factor. Its why my dad and I had to stop our weekly recreational weed use(he's one of the few who understands that weed is not the fucking devil.)

Through sheer luck,I did manage to get to know a few "connections" but the main value of it is being able to cheat in college,having someone do papers for me. I did once try to ask my main contact(guy whose providing that "college work" for a price) if he knew a dealer,and while he did,pretty much all of them stopped and had to lay low(some have apparently gotten killed or sent to prison)ever since Duterte started his reign.
I know at least 2 possible people who could get me the goods(Just weed however. there's Meth/Shabu too but I've already tried it and have no further interest in playing with it. sucks that the market is limited where I live),but I'm refraining from taking action at the moment due to the risks.

I agree. The risks outweigh the costs. According to Rappler, "Ever since President Rodrigo Duterte assumed office almost two years ago, 33 people have been killed daily nationwide.
This is shown by Philippine National Police (PNP) documents obtained by Rappler. In about two years – from July 1, 2016, up to June 11, 2018 – police have recorded 23,518 Homicide Cases Under Investigation (HCUI), equivalent to an average of 33 people killed a day."
Do you recall the much documented 'Kill List?' The thought of suicide by cop crossed my mind multiple times tbqh.

Haha. living in a poorly run country rampant with corruption has its benefit. Not many, but this is one of them. Unfortunately, not many here are aware of this method and they mostly resort to hanging or taking some painful poisons.

You are right, life can be rough for a lot of people regardless of their country of residence. unfortunately, the notion of suicide is still very much repulsed by the society in general. Apart from suicide done on impulse, society must change its view on rational suicides where people have thought about their decision thoroughly as killing oneself is one of the most unnatural and difficult thing a human can do. Those who choose this path rationally must be under so much pain( whether physical or emotional) to push them to commit the act.

I live in a 3rd world country with delusions of grandeur. Customs inspections are very strict (I'm afraid the N won't get through), and pharmacies will sell no controlled substances (psychotropics, mostly) without a valid prescription. I hate this place.
