Meanwhile in Houston, the student’s ID cards are being upgraded to function in the prison system.

I saw a post where a Cybertruck got T-boned by like a Nissan or something. The Tesla didn’t look damaged badly at all and the other car was modern art. Tesla people were bragging about it until someone pointed out that the Nissan driver walked away while the driver of the Tesla broke both legs.

I know this is anecdote, but the point is that vehicle damage doesn’t prove people injuries.

What is up with all these puerile jokes lately? Lemmy is turning into a cafeteria table for preteen boys.

I was thinking about commenting on misogyny, but I’m not sure the people making these jokes are ready for tall-talk.

I think the spirit of shitposting is in opposition to the spirit of taxonomy. And it’s super ironic to argue over the definition.

Precisely defining shitpost would annihilate it’s meaning and we’d be forced to use another word.

If you pay attention, you’ll notice that English is actually pretty bad at keeping slippery meanings contained inside her words.

Had a friend who did this with poison ivy. I’m still laughing decades later just thinking about it.

I’ve never understood secure drop-off for used drugs. My mother gives everything to second-hand stores when she’s finished, but when it’s time to throw away pain pills, she jaunts off to the drug store like Jason Borne, to keep the drugs away from junkies.

I keep meaning to tell her that a junkie who discovers her oxy is going to be so much more grateful than whoever finds her old Capris on the rack at Goodwill.

You should keep in mind that this is a negotiation position, and it’s normal to ask for the world at the beginning so the inevitable compromise may be more in your favor.

40 years ago, this article was titled “the toxic chemicals in no-smoking signs are the real cause of lung cancer”

What I’ve come to understand is that even if Trump and MAGA become histories villains, with their ideology, ascetic, and personas become toxic and reviled, everyone will just forget after a few generations and it’ll happen all over again.

The only way to purge MAGA is to overcome American bigotry; the strongest god in the pantheon.

The idea that the existence of crack was a government plot is an old and debunked conspiracy theory.

Not that our government isn’t that racist, just that it’s not that competent or forward thinking.

The real racism was the response to crack. The drug became synonymous with black Americans the same way AIDS became synonymous with gay men: because they were the early and obvious victims. Unlike AIDS, crack is actually much less dangerous than people think. Opioids are way worse.

But even the idea that crack was a “black” problem is a myth. My cracker-ass friend group experimented with free-basing cocaine (which is turning cocaine into crystal inside the smoking vessel, a practice far older than “cooking” crack, but produces the same drug and effect)

This is funny because the whole concept of going to a restaurant (or anywhere else) on a date is a modern concept that didn’t exist before car culture.

So something that didn’t exist before like 1947 is now seen by the manosphere-brained to be a biological imperative.

Why do the simple people of the world insist that inelegance must be linked to some obvious measurable physical characteristic?

No matter how many times this idea gets humiliated by science, the dull inevitably wander back.

This meme is ageist because nobody over 11 yo could think it’s funny.

I heard that vapes were a conspiracy to get people used to sucking robot dick.

It’s a reference. The story that became “Blade Runner” was titled: “Do Androids dream of electric sheep?” Written by Philip K Dick.

There is a big difference between a “weed guy” and a drug dealer.

Show me a person who has 3 different kinds of weed, cocaine, LSD, and pills and I’ll show you a scary person.

He didn’t. Up until the time of Paul (decades after the Jdog’s death), Christianity was a Jewish sect seeking to become mainstream Judaism. It was only then that early Christians shed their Jewish identity.

That’s in the story, but in the History, Christianity arose from Greece and Rome, not Judea. It was never a Semitic religion. Instead borrowing elements of that combined with Paganism.

Either way, a Historic Jesus would have died a Jew. The mythological Jesus may do whatever and I’m aware of Christians who’ll deny he was ever a Jew.

Most scripts in Hollywood are worth less than than the paper they’re printed on. And if you can separate the value from the slop, you’d make more money working for the industry than stealing from it.

This sounds like the teenager ran away and started a new life. Why she did that is nobody’s business.
