Then you should know about methadone and other harm reduction measures intended to help wean people from their addiction or make them safer while they are still under its grip. This is the same idea.
I appreciate the sentiment, but this is less beer versus liquor and more a lethal dose of rat poison vs corn syrup. Both bad, but one a fair but more damaging than the other. (simplifying a lot & not the greatest metaphor, but you get it)
Good luck with sobriety! o7
I think perhaps you should look into this more.

Combustion creates lots of nasty chemicals. Sure vaping has nasty chemicals sometimes too, but if it is properly regulated and studied, it appears to be a great method of harm reduction. Granted, we should take steps to ensure children aren't tantalized by them as best we can, but let's not shit on harm reduction.
I take it you have never taken nicotine in any capacity then. This is not "nic sick" but that "first hit of the day." Happened to me and everyone I knew when i smoked cigs, and when I kicked it for vaping, and when I kicked that for gum, patches, and lozenges. It's lightheadedness caused by replacing all your air with not air AND the head rush of nicotine.
That said OP should kick the habit if they can anyway (:
The patagonia guy "donated" his wealth too -- to a nonprofit that is run by and directly benefits his family, avoiding massive amts of taxes. I'm sure Warren will be a good Billionaire, though, even though that's an oxymoron.
Not only can it be bypassed, but anti cheat with kernel level access can be used to distribute malware or spyware if it is compromised. Whether your personal anecdotes reflect the actual statistics or not, these anti cheats are dangerous and are not impenetrable.
I would like this too! If you're on iPhone, you can use the "select text" feature, highlight all the text and then translate it. Definitely would be easier to have a button/menu option
Hatch appears to roll in some pyenv features too, installing and using various python versions.
Edit: Rye does too!
I thought it was an apt metaphor, if an imperfect one. We can issue relief while also working to address the root of the issue, which is also what I was getting at with the analogy. The doctor treats the dangerous symptoms but that doesn't mean they aren't also prescribing antibiotics or that other doctors aren't working for cures etc.
That is to say, Biden is pulling the emergency release here with his hands tied. Real reform has to come via legislation, but relieving immediate debt is a good thing for those it impacts.
Also, it shifts the burden onto "someone else"? Don't these former students pay taxes? I'll happily relieve their debt with my tax dollars, but again that does not mean I think this is the final solution. It's merely a band aid
Well I'd rather the doctor drill a hole in my head to relieve brain swelling than have them wait for a MRSA vaccine/cure while I suffer and die
yes but they can shoot behind them the whole time offering small but important time savings from the boost it provides
