  In Law school they teach us about the “eighth grade rule”. Basically if you’re going to say anything to a jury, make sure an 8th grader would be able to understand it… And after watching a few jury selections, that honestly seems optimistic.

  That is the job of your legislature, you would need to contact them. One way that might make them listen would be to gather signatures and to present a petition to your lawmakers. The lower down on the totem pole you go, the easier it will be to make change. If you go to your city council meeting, you could try to get them banned in your city, and that might snowball into something bigger. That’s the idea at least, in all likelihood it would not be that simple. The “grey” market exists because of the legal ambiguity and lack of enforcement behind banning these substances. Furthermore, after prohibition and now the disastrous war on drugs, banning substances isn’t a very popular position in many areas. Harm reduction initiatives and increased funding for education might both be more effective, and be more popular. This all depends on where you live and your local politics.

  Why don’t you just remove the seeds before painting it? I’m not a scientist but I’d assume that, depending on what kind of paint you use, it probably wouldn’t leak through the pumpkin rind and contaminate the seeds. But the best way to not even worry about it would be to just remove the seeds first, IMO.

  I love your posts because you’re always playing my favorite games. I just started playing bg3 for the first time myself, and just reached act 2 yesterday, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. Those hook horrors were tough! But not the toughest thing down there…

  I’m the exact opposite. I loved fallout 3 more than NV, but was super let down with fo4.

  I’ve tried to watch BB 3 separate times and just could not get into it. I recognize I’m in the minority here and that taste is subjective. But I genuinely did not like it without just being contrary for the sake of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I worked at Target circa 2010 and it was the same. I was scheduled 38 hours a week, and you would get written up if you were late clocking out.

  Congress has more important things to worry about. Like who can join which basketball team.

  That was a good article thanks for sharing. While I think that he is absolutely right, I do think that even after the bubble pops there will still be a market for AI. It’s being integrated into the medical field, the legal field, and the tech field. All of which have the money to prop up an AI model. I’m guessing AI is used heavily in manufacturing as well, although I don’t know that for sure. That being said, the author of your article probably knows more than me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you sleep on for too long?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started and stopped playing it a couple of times before I really got hooked. What worked for me was watching the YouTube channel Many a True Nerd start his playthrough. Watching somebody else use the controls and navigate the UI and stuff really helped me get over the “fire hose of information” you’re bombarded with at the start. But that’s just me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you sleep on for too long?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just made it to Act 2 of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m obsessed.

  Same.
