On the what is Rekieta on question.

There are quite a few things people can get messed up on these days that will let you get around a drug test. The most popular options are, kratom, kava kava, and k2 (serenity/sythetic marijuana).

Kratom, and kava kava are both basically plants that happen to get you high and are easy to get a hold of now days. kratom feels like an opiate, like you took some vicodin. Kava kava acts more like a muscle relaxer, or alcohol.

Then k2. People think they can test for it now, and technically they can. The thing is, the chemical they use in that changes so often that there is a good chance whatever test they have won't detect what is in it. Basically the only way they would be able to is if they somehow knew that it had X chemical in this particular batch.That or if someone got unlucky and got some with jwh-018. Though really these days that would be luck in the sense, that its not comparatively as terrible for you. Since the stuff they are using now are pharmacological horrors.

I imagine he wouldn't be on galaxy gas. Or if he was using it, that wouldn't be noticeable. Because its so short lived. Its only going to last about 5 minutes tops. There are definitely more things you could do to get high and get around drug tests. But these are the most common things you see. Just for reference on why I know. I have mentioned before, I've been sober for years now, but I was a junky in the past. And got around tests myself, as well as worked with recovery stuff after sobering up, and had to drug test people. So I've seen a good bit over that time.

One last option I thought of just now,, while thinking of what I had done in the past. If Rekieta found a doctor that is either willing. Or that he could trick. He could get them to prescribe something that would get him fucked up. And if you can produce a prescription. You can basically fail any tests for that substance, and not get in trouble.

It wasn't even just that, but that they were incredibly corrupt and would often outright make up taxes then just pocket them.

They weren't "Corrupt" because they "made up taxes to pocket them" - That was the ENTIRE POINT. The tax collectors were sold the right to make up whatever bullshit taxes they wanted to. The empire didn't have the time to collect taxes, so they had contractors do it for them.

The way the provinces of the Roman Empire was taxed was kind of weird. Instead of employing "Tax Agents" like the US does, the Roman Empire had things that can only be described as "Tax Collection Contractors" called Publicans. So the Roman Empire would, every few years or so, tell these Publicans, essentially, that "Hey, we want you to get 5 Million Denarii from this province."

And those Publicans would bid on taxation rights to the province, with the taxation rights to a province going to whoever offered to pay the empire the most money. So you'd have these contractors offering to get Rome 5.5 Million Denarii, others offering to get 7 Million Denarii, ect. And whoever won the contract would pay UP FRONT. So as far as Rome was concerned, the taxes for that province had been paid.

Now obviously these contractors needed to actually make back the money that they paid for, and then some, to make it worth their time. So if they won a contract that they paid 6 Million Denarii for, they're needing to make back at least 13 Million Denarii or they won't be able to afford to bid on anything next time. So if the "normal" taxes would only net them 9 Million Denarii, then they'll make up whatever taxes they need to to get that extra 4 Million so they don't go broke for the next time they have to bid.

So legally speaking, the Publicans weren't corrupt - They had every legal right to make up taxes, since they paid for the right to do that. So you end up with people paying way more taxes than the 5 Million Denarii that the Roman Empire said that they wanted, and to the average "Jew on the Street" that must have really fucking sucked, since Biggus Dickus paid for the right to break your kneecaps if you don't pay whatever extra taxes he can come up with, but you're not seeing Biggus Dickus - he's relaxing in a Vilia in Italia, getting his dick sucked by a slave - you're seeing the fellow jew who lives three houses down from you who works for Biggus Dickus banging on your door and when you can't pay up, he has a fucking roided out, barely literate, shit streaked Ubii from western Germania break your kneecaps and take every last denarius you have. THAT is why they had a bad reputation.

Really, as much as I hate the IRS, I feel that the Publician tax contractor system was even worse.

EDIT: Clarified that the "Dude who lives 3 houses down" would be a fellow jew.

It wasn’t Biggus Dickus usually, it was another Jew which is why they were such pariahs - it was seen as a betrayal of their people. A Roman collecting Taxes would just have been another fucking Roman.

Brianna Wu being so open about being transgender after over a decade of lying about it is so fucking malicious. He had literally hundreds of opportunities to admit it before and he only does it when he sees a way to grift.

The really funny thing is that he's coming out as trans when Trump was just re-elected a couple of months later, maybe he hopes to be the next Caitlyn Jenner dumping out in whichever bathroom he likes in Trump Tower

The maybe this will help people understand how weird tax collectors were in the ancient and medieval world. They are like the SS or commissars (in the soviet union or 40k). They are "part of your society" but not. They intermix with regular people and forces, but are subject to a parallel command structure with its own rules that only meets yours at the very top. At the same time they kind of have the power of life and death over normies, or at least their boss does.

So only a day after the last MATI the NYT produced an interview of voters which supports what Null speculated: that the troon issue has made women more right wing. And not simply on that issue. It would seem they are fine with deporting brown rapists too.

Granted we’d love more information but I can say, anecdotally, that I have good reason to believe it is the case.

And obviously it seems to extend to other groups like non-whites. It helped make Latinos accept the risk of deportation. Included is an interview with a gentleman who says that anyway.
