  1. In that case, you like standard time (not DST).
  2. Has she tried unplugging and rebooting her brain?
  3. I’m From what I’ve seen from other converts, the scales will slowly fall from your eyes. It starts with “I have to hold my nose and vote for Dems for the sake of sanity and decorum.” Two years later, you’re perusing platforms to educate yourself on the off-year candidates and it hits you: “The Dems actually make sense about a lot of things.” By the next election cycle, you’re working your way through the back catalog of Behind the Bastards and thinking “How the fuck did I ever support this nefarious Reagan shitbag?” Enjoy the journey.
  4. It’s been professional wrestling since 2015.
  5. I have a pornographic memory.
  6. You’re right. I misunderstood. But I believe the point is that if Congress does not certify, then it goes to a state-by-state vote in the House. So an overall Dem House majority can only save us at one step; the next one is the bigger problem.
  7. I encourage you all to read the article before asking questions that are clearly answered in the article. In this case, it is likely that the GOP will still maintain the majority of state delegations in the House, which is what matters.
  8. I actually think this ploy might cause a military intervention.
  9. That is addressed in the article, and it turns out Jan 3 may be too late.
  10. “Antifa strikes again!” ~ @Incredulity
  11. I can’t imagine how fucked you have to be to make your uncle say “Whoa, that’s a little too fascist for my taste.”
  12. “Classic Antifa move.” - @Incredulity, probably.
  13. I know I speak for everyone when I say that you are a fucking idiot.
  14. I’m still talking to my MAGA family, but only to tell them that they’re shameful embarrassments.
  15. Makes sense, as they’re both unfunny hacks.
  16. Motherfucker. Oops. Offside?
  17. He’s my least favorite Red and it’s not even a close competition.
  18. I think it boils down to the difference between reason and emotion. Our rational capacity is deliberative. It makes decisions based on reasoned analysis of facts. But it’s slow and rational choices aren’t always good for the real driver of human decision-making (gene propagation). So we also have things like instinct and emotions, which short-circuit our decision making process so that we don’t fuck up by deliberating too long. “Oh, a wife and kids will prevent you from reaching your financial goals on your preferred time table? Too bad. She’s ineffably hot and your balls are shutting down your brain for the next several minutes to make sure your DNA survives you and your smart little plans.” Every single brilliant mind is vulnerable to dumbass emotion. We’re human beings, not computers. Politicians appeal to emotion because it’s more powerful than reason. Some of us insist on thinking through policy at a rational level, but emotion is inevitable. (Even many policies we liberals believe are rational are only so in the sense that they tend to favor outcomes that we emotionally prefer.) My guess is that your friends indulge their emotional reactions to political issues, responding to things like fear, resentment, aggrievement, etc. They could think through issues logically, but it’s easier to go with their gut feeling. And they probably get a dopamine hit from it, to boot.

    Yes. Hemp-derived THC products are legal, marijuana is not. But as to edibles, there’s no meaningful difference between the end products. So there’s a weird paradox where Texans have greater access to THC edibles than residents of states where marijuana is legal. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    In a startling irony, D9 THC products are available all over Austin. I was recently disappointed by the selection and inconvenience in Colorado, where weed is legal. Here, it’s illegal but you can buy it all over town. Stay away from gas station gummies. Go to a specialty shop like Ropeace or Tribe. Once you find a brand / form you like, you’ll start noticing it’s available in random shops all over town. Good luck. Migraines are the worst.
