We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that’s obviously linked to Latin communities. So while it’s illegal, we’re OK with calling it something that’s linked to a community, BUT once it’s legal, suddenly we’re trying to erase that connection. Like it’s too good for that community anymore. It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation. Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn’t anti racist.

I feel like it’s more racist to start calling it cannabis once it’s legal.

I made a prediction 2 years ago that elon would be the first billionaire turned homeless person. It was more a dream, but I’ve never made a prediction I want to happen as much as that one

So magneto has actually fought for mutant rights from the beginning. And every time he gets ahead the xmen win and mutant rights don’t really move forward. The xmen literally fight for the status quo. The status quo is bad for mutants, but they want to keep it for some reason. An analogy I’ve heard a lot is that professor x is the mlk to Magneto’s Malcolm x. The difference is that mlk didn’t bank roll a CIA black ops style team to constantly beat up Malcolm x whenever he started getting a leg up.

People are fed up. They’re more open to extreme actions. That’s why people are more sympathetic to Magneto

I also don’t think he’s writing them, so you can consider that as well

I’m fairly certain that the last two books will be published close together. Grrm is well known for writing a chapter and then pushing it to the next book.

Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance

I remember being blown away by some of the games back then, and also disappointed that it wasn’t a more popular console.

Not like the people thinking he’s been saved by an act of god have much critical thinking skills

It was designed like that for a reason. There’s a lack of one syllable words there, and the ones that are there sound very different. It’s also used for messages that require precision that the average person doesn’t need in day to day life.

I had a similar thing happen to me. People saw mine, and pretty soon 5-10% of the office had one.

The people with money decided they didn’t like him. That’s what changed.

Powerlifters are over represented by vegans. Ultra runners and power lifters two poles on the dietary needs scale.

In the abstract it acknowledges what you’re talking about. This biased source, mentions all sorts of pro athletes that are plant based. Strong man, NFL player, and ultra runners. The ultra runners are interesting because plant based probably gives an advantage.

It’s less the people and more the trade routes and resources. Some would argue the most important in the world

And the US has been doing the same for Israel

How is a state that’s largely funded by another state not a proxy for the bigger state? It’s not a Israel Iran proxy war. It’s a us Iran proxy war

In it’s ‘war against Hamas’ Israel has now bombed 3 countries that has no Hamas

It’s feasible that the kid is still alive. Think for a moment what they would have lived through. A complete childhood without the state of Israel (Zionists were already moving in) , ww2, Israel being recognized as a state, the nakba, multiple wars trying to push israels influence away. Intifada, the second intifada, and then Israel slowly taking all Palestinian land. Followed by a genocide late in life…

On 538, Harris is polling better or the same in national polls. The real issue is Trump’s large lead in all but 1 swing state.
