Volunteer overseas for the next 4 years. Teach English or something.

I actually disagree with both being on social media, and leaving, so I’m choosing the third option of joining a fake social media website that doesn’t actually connect you to anyone else, but it has all the features I would want if it did.

Leaked sex videos on a social media website?

Universal healthcare doesn’t give you license to police everyone else’s lifestyle to your preferred level of health-consciousness.

Opium production in Afghanistan rose despite as a result of ban: UN report

FTFY

Imagine being the UN and still not understanding what happens when you do a prohibition.

Are you under the bizarre impression that the only possible thing you can do to someone who commits a crime is imprison them?

I didn’t say anything about imprisoning people. Any legal consequence for possession of a plant is too far.

It helps them quit.

It leverages a nanny state that forces people to quit whether they want to or not.

You’re talking about making it a prescription drug only allowed for cessation purposes. That sure sounds like a ban on recreational use to me. What happens when someone without a prescription is caught with tobacco under this system you’re proposing? What makes this preferable to just letting people smoke?

For everyone who isn’t familiar with Los Angeles, this is a real subclassification of Sushi.

And then what about everything outside of that ridiculous context? Arrest people for possession of a plant? That’s always been a good idea.

Tobacco is important to people. If you ban it, there will be a black market. Especially for something like a plant that can simply be grown.

100PB on i2p is a funny idea, but it’s not necessarily a bad one.

A reminder that this issue is on the ballot today.

“Sure, Republicans killed a million Iraqis chasing fake WMDs, but I’m voting against the Democrat because she isn’t sufficiently outraged about Israel killing 40k Palestinians.”

Americans need to clean up their own shit before assuming their self-assigned role as world police.

Yes, and actively rooting for Trump to win.

Okay, so if your view is that Democrats and Republicans are the same on this issue, then you’re going to need to vote based on something other than this issue.

So, aside from Gaza which you believe they are equal on, why do you prefer Trump over Harris? Do you support his campaign promises over her’s?

You’ve convinced me. I won’t vote for Joe Biden today.

Yeah, and I plan to vote against Netanyahu’s buddy who keeps saying he should do “whatever it takes to finish the job”. Stop pretending that a Trump presidency will be better for Palestine. Literally everyone who actually cares about Palestinians in good faith knows that a vote for Harris is a vote for harm reduction.

You’re showing your privilege here by admitting you aren’t scared of Trump’s plans, which involves oppressing millions of people, because you’re confident you’re not one of the groups he plans to oppress.

When I lived in a war-on-drugs city 15 years ago, we always used “pizza” as a code word for weed. A pie was an ounce, and a slice was an eighth. We’d call each other and ask if we wanted to eat some pizza tonight, and how much they wanted to eat. We always knew if it was actual pizza or weed based on tone of voice.

That’s also the behavior of profoundly unhappy people. I think the real issue is that these are the Republicans answering 10/10 on happiness in the polls:
