You have quite a strong opinion for someone who "Don't give a shit."
Just another painfully obvious troll lacking any true skills at the task you have apparently chosen to devote your time to. A simpleton who sees life in only the simplest of terms lacking enough understanding of the world to face the facts head on when it's so much easier to call those more educated than you liars. Does having your head in the sand and ass in the air make the anal rape more bearable? So I curse thee thus: May thou live on the coast and live long enough to get the full brunt of that which thou callest foul and profane. May you end thy days fearfully gripping to top of a telephone pole trying to escape the rising waters. May you get rescued by a boatload of scientists whom immediately throw you overboard when you start spouting off nonsense. And finally may the last thing that passes through your brain be the realization that yes, you were a truly stupid person.
Yea, the illegal farms here have no market as the retail market is at par and frequently less expensive than the street was. I know for a fact* someone who takes their crop to Montana and N. Dakota. He sells it as California weed because it's easier to get rid of. Don't ask.:D
It's sort of kinda true though, as the strains we grow here are primarily offshoots of California plants that were brought here and acclimated to our shorter growing season back in the eighties. In fall we get a bonus crop of outdoor grown stuff, I'm told it tastes better but my old abused senses can't tell the difference between outdoor and indoor grown. Unfortunately when my senses were in their twenties, the only thing available was homegrown, commercial, and Mexican brickweed, with that very rare hashish or Panama Red or Acapulco Gold.
*I stole your wording, it was just plain better than what I wrote originally.
Hmm, I haven't seen actual Cali weed in years except in California. The entire west coast pretty much smokes local weed, as I assume the other legalized states do
I would bet a lot of 'Cali weed' sold in non-legal states came from farms far away from there, as the quality is pretty consistent, well, at least on the west coast, I haven't tried it from anywhere east of here in years. But there is no reason it shouldn't be fantastic anywhere it's grown.
Ya can't beat walking into a clean store with 30+ strains, oils, waxes and edibles, all tested for purity and potency and at par or cheaper than the street.
This! 100%. When I drove truck FB came into existence. It was a great and convenient way to connect with family and friends for an hour or so before hitting the hay. When I had to quit driving it was useful for keeping in touch with friends I had made across the country. Now I painfully log in about once every few months just to say "I'm not dead." Most everyone seems to re-post the meme of the week, crackpot conspiracy theories, chain mails and partisan lies in all stripes. If I log in, I want to know about YOU, your life, not your political opinions. Adblock used to make it bearable, not so much anymore but I'm afraid to see what it might be without it active!
Ah, a grammar Nazi. So cute, so incredibly anal. This is a perfectly acceptable variable. Language evolves even if you don't. Pull the corncob out of your ass. You'll feel better.
If they're so drunk they blow into a Cheetos bag instead of a Tostitos bag, they would of probably driven anyway.
An alcoholic acquaintance, OK, honestly now, no alt facts, my Brothers favorite line is "Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink. Alcohol abuse!"
No, he's not a fascist, fascist leaning but not full on. We need a new term, a YUGE term if you will. maybe... Corporofascisolationism
Trump may actually be a good thing in the long run. He might get Democrats and Republicans talking to each other again, maybe looking past their minor differences and finding compromise.\
Yeah, I'm a snowflake. I like being a snowflake though, when we get together we cover all, even the mighty Sahara Desert, we become the streams that nourish the rebirth of spring, bring the growth of summer and the bounty of fall. Then we begin again...
Yeah, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Obama, all were smoother liars...Well maybe not Nixon, he was just an asshole. And Carter was way too honest for politics... But with Trump, We had to create an entirely new brand of lie! Alternative Facts.
I like being a snowflake, because when we get together we cover all, even the mighty Sahara Desert. We bring massive change to the world and begin the process of Springs rebirth.
Spring may ebb into summer and fall, then we come back and begin the process anew.
Still need to work out a few problems with the Plutonium-Lithium battery I'm developing. Those pesky laws about who can buy the raw materials is making development difficult. And I suing Duncan-Heinz, that box of yellow cake I bought didn't have any fissile materials in it at all!
Not disagreeing with you at all, but, I was referring to conversations here on Slashdot. Which, if anything talked about the cults of personality even more often than the media. I won't even look at FB for at least another month for that very reason you stated. (Fortunately, I no longer have a long-distance job so avoiding it is easier than when I relied on it to keep up with my family. FB at that time had some importance in my life. Now that I work locally , not so much. )
Oh, to answer the last bit, judging by the reactions of people around me, they will hide in fear for at least a year (for the less paranoid) before they realize the world didn't end and POTUS doesn't mean 'dictator with unlimited power.' Also something to blame on the media with their exaggerated stories about Executive Orders and such making the Presidency out to be one person rule without limitation.
I don't care for President-elect Trumps authoritarian style, but the checks and balances will prevent him from running roughshod over the system. While actual voter fraud is rare, paranoia is the medias stock and trade of late.
Saw some just as ridiculous headlines on Briebart about Hilary as well. They are all responsible for spreading their brand of paranoia. (I read every side I can, and make up my own mind, for the most part, I came to the conclusion they're all full of shit.) Unfortunately, I don't have time to look any examples up before my coffee's done and off to work.
Maybe when the shitstorm has cleared, people will wake up and start actually questioning those who....ah fuck, who am I kidding? People are sheep, and I very much doubt that will change unless there is actually blood running in the streets. (Ok, in some cases that seems to be happening, but you can't fix stupid, and nowadays, there is little excuse for being that uniformed) If your team lost, then you should be fighting harder next time, not rioting,making false accusations etc. (white people rioting no less, surprised it even got reported, though I haven't the time to read those stories until after work, so my knowledge is constrained at the moment to headlines.)
Oddly enough, one of the best, least biased explanations I saw, hidden under a very inflammatory headline, (and a fair bit of vulgarity in the body) for the difference between rural and urban voting was on Cracked...I know, that shouldn't be the case, but check out (and ignore the title, it has little to do with the article) 'how half of America lost it's f***ing mind.' Someone else posted a link here, and I read it expecting something funny and irreverent, but got a very well thought out explanation of the difference in voters of rural and urban settings.
Paper trail, checked multiple times against voter rolls. Plus that was a very simplified explanation. Plus Paper trail. Can't be hacked from outside. (No net connection) No machine to be hacked. No system is perfect.
Did I mention paper trail?
It's actually very secure. To make a difference, you would have to steal way too many to not be noticed. If you haven't received it by a specified date you contact the elections office. Dupes? Checked multiple times by man and machine against rolls. Lost? Provisional, just like everyone else.
The point I was making is it is more secure than these vote-flipping, prone to breakdown machines. If you chose to take it as a high school gymnasium with a bunch of stoners stuffing the ballots for the girl with the biggest tits, then that's on you. After all, we aren't in the news for ballot irregularities.
Slashdot Mirror
A few decades back it wasn't nearly as bad either. Your info is decades out of date.
Ah, the new normal. Make a small minded insult and get modded insightful.
The only thing insightful about this comment is we get to see just how small, insecure and partisan this AC is.
We are living the old curse:
May you live in interesting times.....

"All news is fake, including your precious Leftist Hillary supporting CNN.
Stop being so partisan. You sound like an useful idiots."
A completely non-partisan statement if I ever heard one....
"To paraphrase Noam Chomsky: Adolph Hitler was a sincere, hard working ideologist, whereas Trump isn't"
True in itself, but he does have the greasy, unkempt Bannon, who is a sincere, hard working ideologist.

A politician?
"Did your tax dollars pay for their infrastructure too?"
Probably, we give foreign aid to many of those countries, I hope at least some of it goes to infrastructure.
