  • I believe the risks of cannabis are significantly less than nearly every other recreational drug out there. Hell, I am a huge psychedelic proponent, which in many cases causes less physical damage than most other drugs but also comes with its own list of caveats.

    But yeah, I see what you are saying and agree. It is important to understand the correct risks of just about anything in life.

    Some dry alcoholics love their soapbox though. I’ll occasionally bash alcohol, but I honestly try to keep my opinion to myself unless I am with other recovering alcoholics. (Repetitive negative reinforcement has a place, believe it or not.) What I am saying is that it is easy for someone in perpetual recovery to get a hair preachy. It’s a thing. (Also guilty here, btw.)




  • Now after almost 3 years, Russia not only hasn’t managed to take Ukraine, but has lost territory to them too. For months now Russia has still not been able to take it back!

    That was a battle cry for a tankie to show up and produce a different statistic. FYI, it’s usually a time capped chart that limits data in Russia’s favor.

    War is a dynamic phenomenon, after all. (You can usually take a specific block of time from any point and produce a favorable result by limiting which variables are used. This is why internet charts and graphs must always be verified, actually.)







  • Religion is seriously fucked up, actually.

    If you can get people to believe in magic they have never seen because of stories that never happened to explain an afterlife that nobody knows about, you can easily get them to also fork over a considerable amount of their income to avoid a fate that will never happen.

    Nevermind that you can also produce some fearless soldiers who will gladly hand over their life for no real reason.

    Eesh. Humans are weird.
