Level-headed response and you’re right that local zoning is handled locally.
If the community doesn’t want a business around they have to show up to the city council meetings and organize their neighbors against it. That’s how it works and I can speak from experience that it does actually work sometimes, at least with bars in mixed-use areas IME.
The widespread legalization, overwhelmingly positive reception, and complete lack of any of the dangerous consequences we were warned about makes you wonder what else “They” were wrong about.
I mean technically all kinds of opiates, some considerably stronger than heroin, are already legal. Access to them is strictly controlled but if you have the right piece of paper you can go to the local pharmacy and pick up all manner of extremely hardcore drugs.
Just nitpicking the semantics of legal/controlled/etc though. Ultimately we’re all in agreement that drugs should be a healthcare issue and not a criminal one.
Some rich asshole once said, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
I feel like this is the best take. IQ is an antiquated and outmoded way of measuring specific standards like spatial aptitude and logic. They’re definitely things that can indicate a “smart person” but are only two out of dozens of aspects that make up human intelligence.
I love that since it’s become legal where I live I don’t really have to maintain any shady contacts with lazy guys who always say they’re on their way.
I just swing by the shop on the way home and pick up whatever I want with access to 10x the variety and quality of product. I love it and I’m happy it’s working so well everywhere it’s tried.
Oh man you could hook your feet in the legs and get a stretch going that was like a chiropractor visit! Not sure what the other commenter is on about those desks were indestructible and served their purpose well. I do remember being excited when we got to start using free-standing chairs we could adjust where ever we wanted.
It happens, for security sake it’s usually safer to prepare for the worst case scenario.
Unsure why this has downvotes and not more conversation, it’s not that hot of a take and downvotes don’t mean anything here.
I recently had a “spiced peach butter” similar to apple butter that was really great. I think it was mostly cinnamon and nutmeg.
I hope every inmate makes it clear that Luigi is cool with them and that anyone who does something similar will receive a warm welcome, that might make things interesting.
I remember a video right after he was taken into custody of inmates yelling out the windows about “free luigi” and “luigis conditions are terrible” of course they love him. He killed a greedy healthcare CEO, you could argue he did the world a favor.
I’d call my former Dr’s office and flip my shit. Them giving out your info may have been a HIPAA violation. You should really follow up and harass the fuck out of them.
There can be only one!
For a lot of evangelicals and orthodox jews, they believe the Third Temple must be built at Temple Mount for the Messiah to return/come. Christians are a death cult and it’s part of their eschatology to work towards those ends to bring about the Second Coming and the rise of New Jerusalem/Zion.
In terms of realpolitik Israel is a strategic foothold in an geographically important area rich with resources and trade routes.
All my homies were part of a webring.
You are what you eat.
I feel like it’ll just never happen, it’s gonna be like 3D movies, just a fad and proof of concept that never catches on for myriad reasons.
B-but the decorum, the hypothetical high road!
Wow I’d never heard of that and it’s really interesting. It reminds me of a few different periods of my life when smoking heavily would make me really “gaggy” and sometimes make me unable to eat for an hour or two after. I’ve thrown up a few times from just “hitting it too hard” but never considered it could actually be a known thing.
