Why the hell does everyone try to defend HIllary!? She needs to be swept out of politics with the broom she rode in on.
Why continue to attack Hillary? I couldn't care less what she did or didn't do. Last I checked, she's neither in office nor running for office. She HAS been swept out of politics. Remember when DJT won? I won't waste my time defending her; I'm just asking why anyone still cares.
I told one date that when we went to dinner if she answered or made a call I would walk out of the restaurant and stick her with the bill.
I also like to threaten my dates as soon as we sit down. It helps set the mood. "You're allowed ONE bathroom trip during dinner. ONE. Go twice and YOU can pay for my steak."
Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. I've done extensive research in the area and, although it has profoundly different effects on different people, vomiting and hallucinations are not "common." As in, I've never even heard of a person responding to pot by barfing. Mushrooms, alcohol, yeah. Even tobacco tends to nauseate more than cannabis. You'd have to really stretch the definition of "hallucinations" to fit anything I've seen.
That said, it does seem as if it's a poor idea for people under the age of around 23 to use it, as it fucks up their brain development.
There are a lot of people, especially prescribing doctors, that would disagree with that. I'm sure we can both pull a thousand citations, but let's agree there's disagreement.
Which makes it a really piss-poor thing to write a law about.
We're agreed there. There are reports of it stopping seizures in preteens. Besides that I think that if you can decide to pull the trigger on a baddie or get fucked sideways on a web cam, you should be able to make decisions about recreational drugs like pot and alcohol.
I'm not going to research it right now, but I'll bet more minors were drinking after prohibition ended. Doesn't mean ending prohibition was a bad idea.
I don't know what 2018 Mexican weed is like, but late 90s weed coming in through El Paso was half stems and seeds. Besides being a nuisance, seeds are an indicator of THC content, although I never smoked anything back then that was actually tested. I can only remember once when it literally tasted like rubber. In the cannabis I get in modern day, seeds are a thing of the past and I can't remember hitting a stem in any of my pre-rolls. When you can act in the open, you can produce much better quality marijuana.
Can I have your vote in 2020?
If you can make cannabis a mandatory part of congressional mediation, I'll vote for you twice.
The $9/g stuff I get at the dispensary is barely even the same beast as the Mexican schwag I smoked in college. It was a lot cheaper back then, but I can't remember the last time I bought weed that tasted like the tire it was transported in.
You mean the $9 that I paid for a 1/2 oz joint was too much?
If you paid $9 for 0.5 oz, you did REALLY well. Even the Mexican schwag I smoked in college cost $120/QP. If you rolled 0.5 oz into ONE JOINT, you're a champ among champs. Are you sure you didn't overpay for a 0.5 g joint?
As soon as you allow that, you've **eliminated** the black market for those drugs, with one single swoop of the pen.
Not true. I live in New Mexico and am a daily cannabis user. In spite of their medicinal program, I assure you that NM still has a thriving black market for pot. I get my weed from the dispensaries, but I could get it cheaper off the streets. The only street-dealers I know details for get their weed from growers in CA.
everybody wins
Almost everyone agrees with you. Everyone except this Keebler-elf-turned-evil named Sessions.
One would presume that someone who was paying attention at the time would at least seek clarification...
Even better would be requiring the operator to get confirmation from a second person before issuing such an important alert. I can't even complete a software purchase request without 2 additional signatures.
I have 3 FB friends I went to HS with who are strongly anti-vaxx. Also strong Trump supporters as far gone as believing InfoWars. I also have an anti-vaxx cousin who's much more liberal, but no smarter. It's a crusade for idiots and FB lets them collaborate. I usually link to John Oliver and hope for the best.
It sounds like you were more invested than me. If I cared about Star Wars, I might have a stronger opinion than "fine", but to me it's just another space adventure. The answer to Star Wars vs Star Trek is Firefly.
Did I step on an Orville fan's toes? Apparently it's 93% "Fresh", so that was bound to happen. It would have been more insightful to say something positive about the series instead of just whining, but if "Downvote parent" is the most useful thing you can contribute, please keep trying.
In Black Mirror, your score was taken into account by other people and companies to a silly degree but it ended there. In the Orville episode, everything including government did this; your score determined the outcome of your court cases for example.
Didn't the Black Mirror episode end with the lead character in a jail cell? I'm not sure I see the big plot differences that you do. The important points seemed very similar. As somebody else pointed out, the idea isn't original to Black Mirror, but they did it bigly enough not to notice.
...they don;t have to deal with a language barrier as well.
For whatever reason, the fashion trends offended me more than the language barrier. I think even a scene in the pilot where everyone drops a babelfish in their ear would have been preferable to not addressing it at all, but this isn't the first time I've seen aliens that look exactly like humans speaking English so it's easy to get past. Dressing the planet in 1980s US garb was confusing.
Now, if you'd like to offer me payment for these things you wish to consume, we can talk.
Were you able to see their content? You got paid. You're not going to get reimbursed for the power consumed by your TV or DVR while you're fast-forwarding through commercials either.
I don't like the miners either, but I understand that ads are the price of content. The alternative is paid content, which you're free to switch to.
Both were garbage, but only The Last Jedi was rated as garbage...
I didn't hate it, but I had several big objections. Star Wars has always been a little silly. That's fine; that's part of its charm. It started with the droids, peaked with Jar-Jar, and has always been with us. But The Last Jedi opened up with a fucking prank call to a Star Destroyer. A prank call to a Star Destroyer. "Princess Leia Organa has an urgent message about his mother..." Give me a break.

Whatâ(TM)s the benefit of vpn in the age of https everywhere
It keeps my ISP off my back when I download Game of Thrones.
Gee, which is more likely? The SJW company promoting Trump or Clinton videos? HMMMM which could it be?
Or Youtube tailoring content based on past behavior? Nope. Must be a nefarious conspiracy. I blame Pelosi.

But I really couldn't give two shits what's between someone's legs when reading their code.
You'd care when reading my code. 10 minutes and you'll be thinking, "What a dick!"
When an addictive substance or technology is developed you need to develop the insight and the tools to allow people to control it...
Making a substance or technology "addictive" is a major goal of just about every marketed technology and service.

So he'll eliminate everyone with a Facebook account?
I'd just about guarantee you have a FB profile. Do you think you're safe just because you didn't sign up or log in?
That is an insult to the proud Alfred E. Neuman. I present you with this.

Also, states' rights or something.

And weed NEVER met the definition of a narcotic, that was just puritanical bullshit by moralising assholes.
How would you suggest we keep those uppity jazz musicians under control?

If we let them get away with this, soon we'll be seeing Schedule 1 narcotics sold in corner shops!

Google even ran it ad free for years after they bought it.
If any company offers you anything for free, it's limited while they get you hooked or they're getting something from you that you haven't noticed.
You can't tell me a multi billion dollar company can't afford something.
Being able to afford something has nothing to do with it. TANSTAAFL. Everyone's in the game to make a profit and there's never enough.
