Eh I disagree. Working in a hospital I see the horrors alcoholism and Opioid addition does to a person.
This is why I don't hate weed as much as other substances. I've done the thing where I was so chemically addicted to alcohol that I needed to do maintenance drinking: making sure I had enough booze in my body every 4-6 hours to keep away moderate to severe withdrawals. You do not get the same problem with pot, not even close.

Yet the legalization of marijuana is opening up a lot of issues that were not sold to the public when the policies were proposed.

Imagine using this term unironically.
Imagine thinking it isn't redundant.

Its from an article worried that Harris is "walking back" on her claims of supporting tax-payer funded sex change surgery for illegal immigrants and prisoners.
I always knew this day would come: when the troons who can afford to get butchered are now the enemy of the troons who can't.
 
Weed is getting legalized fully, its just a matter of time. The glowies can't hire programers and the people they want because of federal requirements. Its already a national security issue because they can't get the best & brightest anymore. Zoomers' alcohol consumption is dropping as they switch over to weed too so theres an untapped market for suppliers. No amount of sperging about the dangers or moral handwringing is going to change it.

In my home state all weed is illegal but cops will let you go if you have less than 10lbs which is when felony weight and trafficking kicks in. The reason being is the jails are full, the courts are clogged and the DAs won't prosecute even if they do arrest.

That’s not just true.

Ask anyone who deals with addictions professionally and they’ll tell you that weed is worse than alcohol or opiates in some regards.

With alcohol you need a detox sure, but there are medications available.

An opiate withdrawal will last 3-7 days (usually) and you’ll feel like dying but you won’t. And there are medications available.

With weed? If you take some of the hardcore smokers who have been smoking for years, six months after they quit they’re STILL withdrawing, are depressed, mood disorders and can’t sleep properly in many cases.

On top of that, there’s the social stigma of “it’s just weed!” That means a lack of support.

Cannabinoids are part of the natural brain chemistry, and while weed may not kill people in the same way that fentanyl can, there’s plenty of evidence that it fucks with the brains natural cannabinoids.

Alcohol withdrawal can kill you from the cardiovascular stress and seizures. Pot cannot do that.
 
As a guinea myself, I sometimes pester anti-Columbus Day people by accusing them of anti-Italian bigotry. I do not recommend doing this if you are not a bastard like I am, but this can be a lot of fun.
Remind them that the biggest mass lynching in US history wasn't against African blacks, it was against Italians (Mediterranean blacks).
 
After several weeks of Nate Silver seemingly insisting "nothing ever happens", it now appears that he's caving:

I wonder how many of these predictions are just Nate's hopes and dreams that his "predictions" can affect the presidential elections.
All the news outlets and other non-MSM predictors have been shouting that this was tipped in Trump's favor, and now that it's looking more and more like a landslide, Nate sNigger finally lets off on tipping the scale?
 
>Janet Jackson
I'm sorry, I clearly missed something here, what about Janet Jackson?
Janet commented in an interview that Harris wasn't black, she was Indian. A PR rep freaked out and put out a statement that Janet had retracted and apologized, at which point Janet put out a statement stating that she wasn't retracting anything and that the PR monkey didn't speak for her.

Well respected police chief of New Orleans gets murdered in the late 1800s and a mob of both whites and blacks hung a group of Italian Americans allegedly involved with the crime after some of them were acquitted at trial. Apparently the crowd thought the mafia was involved.

I mean, you're just correct to do that. Columbus Day isn't really about celebrating Columbus in particular, it exists as an olive branch towards the Italian-American population due to how much they were discriminated against in the 1800s. Columbus Day is just Italian St. Patrick's Day.
That's what pisses me off about trying to erase it or change it to "National Indigenous People's Day", it's erasing history of the discrimination of a minority group.

I feel like most people don't even know this, and it's because Italian-Americans took the olive branch instead of pushing it away so they could keep their eternal victim status.

Potheads think that everyone smokes.

In reality, almost no one does:

and most people who do smoke are not genius programmers:

The glowies struggle to hire programmers because they pay less than half what a skilled programmer can earn in the private sector.
 
JD's son just wanted to know how his Nuzlocke with Joe was going.
I can't decide what's funnier. That Vance's son might be listening to one of those AI President channels and thinks Trump is actually doing a Nuzlocke run with Joe and Barrack. Or that Trump might actually decide to do that post politics and invite those two.

Nah, the cultural connotation just isn’t common knowledge unless you’re in an area with a large Italian-American population.
