  1. Our AG regularly spells it "marihuana" in legal documents. For real. As in, exactly the way the referred to it in the 1920s and shit.
  2. I mean, yes and no. If we lived in a rational world, we could have a reasonable discussion about the ease/availability of such products to minors. We have mechanisms in place to make it more difficult for minors to obtain alcohol or tobacco, I don't have any philosophical problem with doing the same for THC products. The Texas THC industry seems to agree: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/23/texas-hemp-regulations-age-restriction-enforcement-thc-sb-3/#:~:text=Currently%2C there's no age restriction,based cannabis business Restart CBD. Of course, that's not the conversation we're actually having. We have a psychotic retrograde asshole arguing that "nobody will do business in Texas anymore because everyone is high." Seriously. That's his position: He also talks about destroying our precious youth and such. Truly, the only thing he left unsaid was "those dastardly weed-smoking negroes and their seductive jazz music corrupting our fine white women."
  3. They’ve got some cosmopolitan types who are mighty fine. But otherwise….yeah. As the boy has described them, with a sigh, “they’re all short, round, and orange.” The fake tan makeup they put on to cover up their paleness…it’s not good. Find a pretty and posh one, avoid the orange ones.
  4. There ya go. As to the question of "so, what is to stop the regime from doing this to US citizens -- say, US citizens who have said things the regime doesn't like?" . . . y'all know the answer. Nothing. Nothing will stop them. Is the reality on the ground now that, if you think the regime's gestapo is grabbing you to send you off to a dark foreign hole from which you will never return, then . . . is there any rational course of action that doesn't involve "whatever it takes, including using deadly force to protect yourself, don't let them take you?" When the Rule of Law is erased, the void is always and immediately filled by Rule of the Gun.
  5. To answer the bolded, because there are birds in the air on an active mission. That's really pretty common regarding ceasefires. It's not a "we just had a call, so it starts NOW" sort of thing. You pick a time in the very near future (often a matter of hours).
  6. Emphasized for truth. Cult gonna cult.
  7. Think of it this way....that is a three minute display of pure personal debasement. Imagine how much she'd debase herself for YOU.
  8. As if it hasn't been said enough....the most powerful nation in the world is being run by a sponge-brained toddler. What the fuck even is that shit?
  9. This. Any Dem running for office should run on a platform of "and all those fuckers who hurt us these past years? I am going to immediately round them up and send them to foreign prisons where they will never be heard from again. Which is perfectly legal now, thanks to those exact same fuckers."
  10. Anyone who thinks that a giant slice of the stockmarket isn't just memes and vibes isn't paying attention. "Rational thinking" and "market value based on share price" of these enterprises are two concepts that never even get close to each other, much less touch.
  11. Both answers are correct. It's the level of "worse" that is the wildcard. This doesn't end without stacks of bodies. That is always the endgame when someone tries full-on fascism. All roads lead to body counts.
  12. Guys, when Iceman figures out the utter fuckery that is afoot . . . . yeah, FFS. It's that damned simple.
  13. Don’t you dare say my folks weren’t worldly and cultured. But they were not immune to the charms of disco greatness. Momma was a NOLA girl, and it showed. Finally, some relics of my youth.
  14. And how smooth are you? Not as smooth as this guy. Wanna listen to some Streisand? They had all the Streisand. You know you wanna party with these BAMFs.
  15. So, still cleaning out my parents' house and stuff. I got to the LPs this weekend. They have a lot of stuff, including stuff that NOBODY is interested in (seriously, you needed 15 collections of Spanish music/bullfighting tunes?) But others that are.....interesting, including a couple from my youth that ended up in their collection. So, enjoy. I need to get a turntable. Will definitely give this a listen:
  16. Again, that's just driving like a typical Austin driver now.
  17. If that's the extent of any counter-strike or terror activity, absolutely. Where that ultimately leaves us is . . . . wondering what, if anything, was actually accomplished by all of this. Did the US strikes really take out/significantly harm Iran's enrichment capabilities for a long term? Did they take out already enriched uranium? Seems like we won't really know for quite some time.
  18. To be fair, if this is truly a "machine learning" exercise, then the machine learning to drive in Austin by watching what Austin drivers do is a recipe for "incredibly shitty driving." For example, I expect Robotaxis to randomly make left and right turns from the middle lane, in order to blend in with the other drivers around Austin.
  19. Imagine the world where the answer to every Chat GTP prompt is "muledick."
  20. This. It takes a long time to disentangle. But the trust has been irrevocably destroyed. The process of separation has begun. Don’t mistake “it’s not done yet” for “it’s not happening.”
  21. Secretary of Defense, US ambassador to Israel, Speaker of the House, US Senators, Vice President, Secretary of Homeland Security, and many more in the admin and Congress….are a “fringe element.” Not sure I agree with you 100% on your police work there, Lou.
  22. Don’t worry. None of this is about policies or ideas. It’s about a cult. They can simultaneously disagree with the things he does…yet run, not walk to the booth to vote for him again.
  23. When you understand that pure, unamerican evil (intended to completely change what we expect of ‘America”) is the goal, then this all makes sense. It’s just evil. It’s not anything other than that.
  24. And posts above are talking about "planning." Our entire plan is a combination of "SQUIRREL!" and "what will aggrandize/enrich me, the king of the world?" Nothing else fucking matters. Not "it doesn't matter much" - it fucking doesn't matter AT ALL. If we are trying to analyze/predict what will happen next in this war, those are the only lenses you should be looking through.
