Okay. I respect that that’s your decision. Have a nice day.

With the Nazi-bar argument that I presume you are making with Substack, where’s the line?

Should we stop using the Internet because Nazi views are expressed on it? Should we stop using our toilets because Nazis also flush their shit on the same sewage system?

Sorry if I’m suspecting you wrongly. I’ve become more suspicious of some posts on the asklemmy communities lately.

Seems like a karma-farming type of question. Receiving lots of upvotes doesn’t get you anything here.

Pros:

• it makes weed cheaper, safer
• you know exactly what you’re getting since there’s no incentive to illegally lace weed with other dangerous stuff
• less need to prosecute drug possession “crimes” that hurt nobody
• It makes it less appealing to young kids because the dangerous aspect is removed

Cons:

• Weed smells bad to many people, there are complaints from a lot who visit about how open weed smoking make some places smell awful
• Legal Grow op greenhouses cause a lot of light pollution which is an annoyance for the local population
• Some weed smokers joke around saying weed was more fun when it was illegal.
• Harder to enforce impairment since weed takes much longer to stop registering on tests than you are affected by it

I’m not a regular smoker, I think we are better off having it legal though.

She left her elected position in 2021 and was nominated by Trump to her current role.

Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?

The best takes on religion come from Laura Lucifer, everyone knows.

The fact that people can’t tell whether it was a group of activist investors highlighting the unethical behaviour of UHC, or if it was a morally depraved shareholder body that actually wants the company to be more anti-consumer, is absolutely insane.

Is this the Late stage capitalism version of the Turing test?

Seems neither here nor there.

Edit: Hearing some good reports about actually espousing Jesus’ values (you know, like loving thy neighbour).

DeJoy was hard to beat in terms of who would be perfect to run counter to the USPS’ mission. Never underestimate Trump and the Republican establishment’s ability to find new corrupt cronies.

Gabbard, you imbecile, you are the deep state now.

The inefficient models will be unsellable outside of the US, and the efficient models from elsewhere will be unsellable in the US due to tariffs.

Reminds me of this advertisement for an EV…

“We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market, we don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market. They want a piece of our market,” Trump rambled.

This is a sign of someone who knows everything about intimidation but nothing on negotiation

Make the US military weak again.

You know that Carney spoke smartly when the news reports his words over Trump’s, despite the fact Trump was blabbering for 90% of the time over his usual nonsense.

Don’t let your dreams stay as memes! Beh eh eheheh

I can’t assuredly say we have beat conservative populism yet, but we are at least bringing competence to government.

The issue we haven’t solved is that many young people now are coming of age upon a platter of socially engineered falsehood.

We are going to treat the US more like a different country than ours, even after “normalcy” returns, but there is a way to recognize the fact that of the 300 million people you have at least a few million within them that are victims.

I get what you are saying, but just like ourselves, it’s not realistic to expect every American to be a hero saving the world and themselves from Trump. We are doing our part to avoid American products, so we should expect organization and pushback at a similar level, rather than waiting for vigilante justice or asking everyone to just move away immediately. A general strike is a possibility, but we shouldn’t be going “tsk-tsk” just because it’s not planned right now. There could be the beginning of discussion to separate from the United States, who knows, but that won’t happen immediately either.
