I block Meta via NextDNS, living that Zuck free life is good.

They were comparing anaphylaxis to death in the sub, not saying it was from a leak on the sub.

California does have a regulated market already. If these companies want to participate in the market they can follow the rules like other market participants.

What you are saying doesnt make sense. They established a legal regulated market for cannabis products. It exists now. If these companies want to compete in that regulated market they can follow the rules and do so.

It doesn’t, they aren’t.

Its weird to have to defend Biden but he did get some things done, the way you are characterizing his record isn’t really accurate. I would expect that if Biden had FDRs numbers in Congress he would have been a lot more successful too. Not that his term wasn’t also a lost opportunity and full of failures, but not everything failed. There’s a whole bunch of people who don’t owe student loans now for example, even if they weren’t all forgiven due to the courts, etc.

How does that make sense? They have a regulated state market that he is trying to protect. Letting drugs from unregulated companies compete against regulated drugs from the companies following the rules has created a variety of serious problems in the market. I don’t understand how you are getting far right out of this.

I recently watched Boglands and it was much better than I expected. Its about a small town in Ireland where a woman who disappeared gets found years later murdered in a bog. Its in Irish with a little English occasionally so subtitles are required.

I missed that Dyson had sued people for calling him out on his hypocrisy. What a complete piece of shit that guy is.

Bots are all over Reddit, you likely only noticed the obvious ones. There’s nonstop campaigns to manipulate people via Reddit and all sorts of groups have armies of bots posing as users.

In many ways, Reddit has evolved into what it is. Much like biological evolution, there’s all sorts of things about it that are vestigial, or poorly designed, or don’t really make sense if you don’t understand natural selection. Its also become a publicly traded company so in recent years the quest for profitability has been rapidly transforming it in new and specific ways that only make sense from that perspective.

I never imagined I would see a US Senator get manhandled to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents for asking questions at a press conference.

The first armed protest on a freeway will clarify everything.

There were a lot of issues with it being anyone else. Since she was already the VP and already “on the ticket”, switching to anyone other than her would have brought with it a whole lot of complications and probably would have tied up all the money the Biden campaign had raised. The whole process of deciding on anyone other than her posed huge risks, especially given the time constraints. Harris was effectively the default option so they took the path that appeared to be easiest and guaranteed that the campaign kept its funding.

Yesterday was the first time I noticed any in a long time.

The teacher had a favorite, who sat behind me. Anytime she tried to talk to me I got in trouble. I literally got detention once where I had to write out the same run on sentence over and over again 75 times about how sorry I was for being disruptive in class, all because this girl leaned forward and tapped me on the shoulder while the teacher was looking at me. I never spoke a word to her, I didn’t even look back at her. Teacher didn’t care, it was somehow my fault. I remember my hand cramping up writing the sentence and after the first however many minutes my writing started deteriorating so the teacher made me redo sentences. It was a very painful and miserable experience, I could barely hold the pencil by the end. Thinking about it now, that teacher was a sadist and had a very creepy fixation on that girl.

It seems pretty common in the industry to go see a movie during the workday every once in awhile. I think companies often get free or discounted tickets so its relatively low cost for them. Doing a surprise day of mandatory fun isn’t likely to go over well with anyone who has actual work to get done.
