No no, it was always ass. They did this with indigenous religions decades ago prohibiting them from using peyote. Giving kids watered down wine is fine though.

But it worked out so well in Weimar Germany!

Grey is definitely in the wrong, that's exactly when you should have used a white lie but they were being a huge dick.

What are Facebook posts doing here?

Waaaaaay more based, wtf op?

Okay but this is obviously satire right?

two spinoffs later

Jesus Christ....

The amount of people here who seem to think the dog actually shot the gun is insane.

Maybe they have a point. We should strip anyone who voted for Trump of citizenship, and therefore they should not be allowed to vote. We can be generous and give them a freeby if they only voted for him in 2016, but anyone who voted for him in 2020 or 2024, at the least, shouldn't be citizens.

CIA propaganda. Real development is when no lights. /s

The kind that exclusively blows the most overtly authoritarian dick in the world

I don't think many people are saying that kratom doesn't have legitimate uses in providing an off ramp or mitigation against more serious opioids, or that people shouldn't have the right to use it if they want to and are informed of the risks. My understanding of John Oliver's segment was that there is an astounding lack of any regulation or quality control. If anything I thought the argument he made paralleled the arguments that are usually made in favor of legalization, it's just that in this case the drug is already legal but almost completely unregulated so scams are rampant.

They said Massachusetts lol. I get that everyone has different taste but I don't think I've ever met anyone else that described the water there as impossible to swallow. But I believe them, I thought the water in Poland tasted bad and I'm sure that was largely just because of what I was used to.

Chapterhouse: Durian

Wait but I thought white rage tipping a nation into overt fascism was a uniquely American problem because we're just so uniquely evil that American leftists should be left to burn in the hell our countrymen made without any sympathy or help, and not because this is a situation that arises from the inherent contradictions of capitalism and the long, long history of European colonialism and white supremacy that we share?

Well fucking well....

EDIT: sorry to intrude in your space but I'm so fucking tired of years of "you people deserve it, yes all of you."

Yeah I don't get why that point is controversial? If Mormons are Christian then why aren't Muslims? They both had a new prophet reveal the errors of the new testament, creating a doctrinally distinct new religion.

That's respectable and not the wrong way to handle it by any means, but after a certain age, and if you have a particularly intrusive career, it can be really hard to make new friends and have it get past loose acquaintances. I'm definitely experiencing that myself, but thankfully I'm still close to my old friends, just much farther away, geographically. (Also not OP btw.)

I want to be hype for it so bad, but I can't get behind buying a Bezosmobile. I really wish somebody else was behind it.

They just made up an "ancient" Roman version of pizza??
