All she has to do is tell me she’s not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.

Yeah, fair point.
The level of hyperbole in this thread is incredible. I can’t imagine getting this geeked over something this trivial. People are still talking about horse armor in this thread, it’s like referencing Leroy Jenkins, I can tell when you stopped paying attention to games. Like, it’s OK to move on too, but major “Stop having fun!” energy here.
The joke will be on white people, they are part of the I in DEI in colleges.
In 5 years admissions will be 80% Asian women if you go by merit alone.
There’s a really fucked up issue in Korean adoption that was fixed a while back. Basically, once a parent finished the process and had custody of the child in the US, the parent needed to do an additional bit of paperwork to give the child US citizenship.
They closed the loophole a long time ago, but many(20 fucking thousand potentially) adult adoptees don’t even know their parents didn’t bother to finish the process.
Now the Korean international adoption processes is mostly closed, cause it was an exploitive nightmare that was more like selling babies than anything.
And yeah the other are just people overstaying a visa, or stayed past the point of needing a visa. 90 days.
Dropsite is great and Ryan Grim is a treasure.
Agreed! I’m saying it doesn’t make sense from Musk’s entire platform of defunding. Even recreating the incredibly exploitive, pre-anti psychotic and anti-depressents, system of the 1950’s and before would be incredibly expensive.
Isn’t this just the exact opposite of the de-institutionization that happened during Kennedy back in the 1960’s? Which Reagan then ruined in the 1980’s by defunding the programs that supported the people who would previously be housed in a mental institution that were put forth by Carter?
Feels like it’s just admitting Reagan fucked up. But trying to fix it by spending government money on rebuilding the mental institution system. Doesn’t make any sense.
Yeah agreed, most of the thca gets picked so early that it can lack some of the character of really good stock standard thc (if they let the trichomes mature too much the natural coversion of thca into thc starts), but I can’t argue with how easy it is to get really good shit. Plus there’s so much competition it’s really driving down prices and up quality in retail too.
Yeah I feel you, I stepped in to a dispensary over here the other day and the just offered me a mixed oz of eights and some other shit for stupid cheap! Some of the shit was really good.
The gray market, not necessarily the black market anymore. That’s retail growers who can’t easily sell all their harvest, especially in Cali where bulk prices are very low, sell either direct to consumer or mail/drive pounds of product to resellers. Since it’s being fed by the retail market, the quality can be exceptional.
Can be hard to differentiate gray market product from black market product, but gray market means purchases in ounces/lbs at sub retail prices because supply is plentiful and risk is nil. THCA is also a technically legal market nationality, although a few states closed the loophole, but you can still buy well priced highs and get them delivered via usps.
Legit, we’re still trying to figure out through genetics if cannabis even has species, or if it’s all just cultivars of C. Sativa. We still don’t know where to draw the lines scientifically. Literature is all over the place! The classic 2, adding in ruderalis for a 3rd, differentiating hemp vs weed, differentiating wild or landraces from cultivated populations.
All really interesting work on this has been done in the last 4 years! Super exciting time.
They’re not so much worried about adulteration as they are about pesticides. Pesticides, heavy metals, and some spore can be really dangerous in cannabis not only cause you inhale it, but because extraction and concentration into oils (for everything from edibles to vape pens) also concentrates any of the bad stuff that was sprayed onto a plant or worked it’s way up from the growing medium.
As far as THC%, the results of your high are going to rely on the other chemicals almost as much as the thc. No one is doing the genetic testing to separate cultivars, so the provenance of a plant is a guess. Good, well grown/cured weed will have a ton of different cannibanoids and terpenes that make up the chemotype. It will have the consistency of kinetic sand, not like dried oregano, immediately after you grind it. If you are used to the taste, you should pick up the different flavors of the terpenes.
If your weed doesn’t taste or look like that, you’re likely buying bulk lows or mids. Plants that were poorly grown, or had spider mites or thrips, still need to get sold. You’ll either get it in shitty distillate or bulk weed that tastes like nothing and doesn’t have any unique or interesting characteristics. They mixed the strains from a dozen grow houses, most is white labeled.
If you aren’t growing it or have access to gray market for bulk, the retail shop highs or exotics (the really good stuff) are priced waaaaaaayyyy too high to justify buying it, imo.
There were like 2.3 million people living in Gaza and at best guess 42k have been killed. That’s a best guess and most estimates say at least.
Initially, Germany had around 500k Jewish people. Around 300k of those people were able to flee, although many not far enough. Of the remaining 200k, about 25% were killed in concentration camps or through some other horror.
As the Nazis gathered more territory, they began the systematic, machine-like murder of European Jews. As a direct example, Poland had over 3 million Jewish people, 90% of them were killed in the Holocaust in concentration camps.
I don’t think we really need to compare genocides to say this is a genocide, especially not to the Holocaust.
I feel you, it’s for sure gray.
I get what you’re saying, but my point is it’s not really accepted. It’s actually an incredibly controversial process that has recently been updated in the US to include not targeting civilians specifically.
Totally respect it’s not your idea, I’m just pointing out that I think it’s much more complicated when you involve civilian collateral damage, which is actually terrorism in a mask with an overcoat.
People are pretty universal in their condemnation of American attacks that kill civilians, that’s why we see the names of those people less, Trump made that change. Biden rolled back those changes finally, but you’re not gonna believe some of the new rules, stuff like stop fucking drone striking civilians you sociopaths: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/biden-drone-strikes.html
So yeah, America is both complicit in and has been (maybe still is) a sponsor of terror in many situations. And if one of those people affected by America in that way were to somehow get a bunch of cell phone bombs on GI’s hips while they were out with their families, to those people it might be justified while I would still call it terrorism.
Just take the last sentence, people will fill in the rest with their own grievances with him. Maybe his hair cut, always looks like he swam there.
