Nah. Downvotes should exist to show how unpopular radical or extremist views really are. It doesn’t apply here obviously, but I think the reason Meta and Twitter etc. are so negative/toxic is because you can’t discourage that content on popular posts. It just looks like there’s fewer likes.
Looks plenty fine to me. 🤷♂️
Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now
Lots of people make valid criticisms of Microsoft and Xbox, but one thing that no one can criticize is their dedication to making products for people with disabilities. They have been consistently releasing these products for people despite a small market for them.
Well now its a one horse race. Justin Tucker is the best kicker in the NFL.
As if our athletes aren’t doing the same sort of things…in principle that’s a great stance to take, but there’s still plenty of American athletes caught using PEDs every year in professional sports. It’d be silly to assume there’s no one doping in Olympic sports.
They’re saying that they hope the russian soldiers unintentionally detonate some nuclear ordinance while running drills and causes internal casualities.
It had 442,000 streams while Morgan “dipshit” Wallen’s song had 38.9 million according to your source.
Dunkirk, Lives of Others, The Pianist, Inglorious Basterds, The Counterfeiters, Band of Brothers, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Valkyrie, Imitation Game, Fury, The Pacific, The 12th Man…
You really have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s easy to blame yourself for this stuff, but the people that are actually responsible take advantage of that empathy. All we can do is verbally condemn the people responsible and in some cases show action by attending or organizing public protests.
Its equatable to oil companies blaming consumers for plastic waste, oil spills, and fossil fuel emissions.
Disagree. I seriously doubt that anyone would turn the key. I don’t think Russia could inflict enough losses to hurt NATO logistical operations and I think NATO would prioritize careful advancements to minimize casualties and give the Russian military a frog in the pot treatment. When they realize that its all over, it will be too late and I think we would see a russian revolution before then.
There’s fewer weapons more powerful than a large group of autistic people with a common goal. I’m joking, but also wholeheartedly believe that.
I never attributed their failing grades solely to weed. I actually did the opposite and mentioned a few other environmental factors that may also be at play. If you can’t zoom out for just a fucking second and come to the conclusion that increased consumption of cannabis amung teens (which is fact) MAY have something to do with falling grades in teens, then in my opinion you’re being just as naive as politicians and civilians that want to keep weed as a schedule I drug.

What do you think happens to students that are failing their classes semester after semester? They eventually drop out of school and go for a GED. And of course im not going to provide “evidence”. I cited regional issues with the advent of greater availability. In order to provide direct evidence, I would need to link a very specific study (which wouldn’t exist) or I would need to break FERPA laws and provide access to the academic ineligiblity lists. So no. That’s not an option.
You also appear to be conflating consequences associated with prohibition, such as academic ineligibility, with the effects of the actual drug.
I’m not sure what you mean? These students are ineligible to participate in after school activities like sports because they’re failing their classes, not because they’re being punished for cannabis use. There’s correlation between behavioral issues, academic performance, and regular cannabis use. Correlation ≠ causation but it is still a discussion worth having.
Now for about the 3rd time, I have no problem with weed. I support recreational legalization and further study for it’s use in medicine. It would make my life a whole hell of a lot easier and reduce the amount of opioids flowing through pharmacies, but there’s aspects of control that I think we should analyze and address.
Okay man. Keep plugging your ears and yelling until you can’t ignore valid concerns and questions about weed anymore.
I’m speaking from a position of direct evidence. It’s caused issues in my region. More children are being caught with THC than before legalization and the proliferation of dispensaries in my state. And its not even close. We’ve called the ambulance to the school this year once already for a 7th grader getting too high and having a panic attack from their THC laced vape pen. Academic ineligiblity lists have increased year over year for a decade as well. There’s other factors at play too like their family’s finances, social media, covid, etc. but well over half of the list I know have been caught getting high in and out of school.
And again, I want to reiterate. I support legalization and also use marijuana. But its proven that marijuana use before the brain is fully developed can disrupt proper development. And that can be as late as 25 years old though I support a legal age of 21.
I’m all for legalization and partake on a monthly basis or so, but I’m kind of down for keeping it more difficult to obtain. Four or five dispensaries per mid-size city should be plenty as long as competition still exists. I work at a school and access to cannabis has become a rising issue. Outside of school, the greater availability has led to “burnouts” being more common.
I think parallels can be drawn to the opioid epidemic and alcohol. Where availability is high, reliance and addiction rises. There’s no reason to flood low-income neighborhoods with convenience stores where half or more of the inventory is alcohol.
What an absolutely tremendous waste of your time. I love that about you. Thanks for teaching me about etymology of a 8th century settlement for almost no reason whatsoever.
