About weed, funniest shit, republicans didn't understand the language in a bill pushing for hemp-derived edibles and decided to push it through lol https://www.npr.org/2022/07/02/1109576113/minnesota-thc-edibles-accident-delta-8

I think that's a different bill than our smokeable marijuana bill but you gotta appreciate the irony

After an amendment passed unanimously during a Minnesota legislative session in May, state Sen. Abeler jokingly said: "That doesn't legalize marijuana — we just didn't do that, did we?"

And then 2 years later they realize their tax base can't support their infrastructure and this is how Iowa grows a couple gnarly tentacles

I've seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. I could kinda see black bears but like wtf. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you're pretty much dead if you aren't within 10 minutes to a hospital.

Yeah, I'm familiar with Cambridge Analytica. My response was to a single paragraph unedited comment and I stand by what I said.

A confluence of things unrelated to the desires of billionaires helps influence what a person believes or what bias they will seek. I mean, I can't just take some random left-wing person and have them read Fox News and expect them to become a Trump supporter, can I?

You can choose to stick your head into any echo chamber you'd like and a billionaire can't control that

I think we'll look back at him the same way we look at George W Bush. Just some really convenient guy that got nudged and tapped and talked into doing various things, all the way to the Oval Office. Not inherently bad, not actively trying to claw their way back into the limelight, and when it all blows over they just saunter off to enjoy the solitude for once. When he's not thrust into a position where he's trying to steer the ship he's pretty much like that neighbor you don't talk to much.

I mean, I'll acknowledge that when the shit hit the fan, Pence was literally the only person in Trump's orbit who wasn't blowing smoke up his ass, dropped political crap altogether, and instead decided to nudge Trump by trying to instead frame it pragmatically, like how to acknowledge the loss and gracefully bow out. Gotta give him credit for behaving like that

A Republican politician circulating photos of underage girls without their knowledge or consent? Color me shocked. Unlike Gaetz, Cruz has the decency to only used clothed images, so at least we gotta give him credit for that

Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!

Let's say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you're at an angle and your rear right is really close to the car sitting in the space to the right.

Crank the wheel right as far as it'll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you're parallel with that car but really close.

Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.

Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered.

You'll see some people try to straighten out but they just straight up reverse out of the spot and wind up back at square one, you don't want to do that, you want to use a bit excess room in front of and behind the car to essentially guide the offending axle into place, once that's done rest follows

They should stand before a jury of their peers and the jury should be allowed to hear both sides and come to a determination based on what had been presented to them.

There's enough credibility in the claim that they're doing this in order to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights that I think they should stand trial and allow for a conclusion.

Court is often where intent is decided

That's cool but we really need to start looking at shit like this as intent to deprive people of their constitutional rights and charge them for such
