If back to the future was released today more than 1/3 of the population would root for biff and would say that the movie is “too political” and “woke propaganda”.
That was half the joke of the original movie. Biff got super rich off cheating at sports gambling and was rewarded for his sudden financial success with political authority, because the writers of the movie knew that’s how Americans respond to anyone who appears to be financially successful practically overnight.
Biff was a critique of the people who elected Ronald Reagan. People who were saying exactly the same fascist shit as MAGA Trumpies today.
Then again, being OK with child rape by that same group of people wasn’t something I would have expected even 10 years ago…
You must have slept through the whole Catholic Sex Abuse moment. The sex-crimes apologists were crawling out of the woodwork. Guys like Ross Douthat made their first nut trying to defend the indefensible. Half of the Peggy Noonan columns were just her whining about anti-Catholic bias every time another child-rape story broke. JD Vance made his Catholic Turn right in the middle of the scandal, seemingly to suck up to the rich Catholic fuckwits gullible enough to believe he was going to protect them.
Before that, you had the string of scandals at the Texas Youth Corrections office. And the Abramoff Scandal, which had an often-undercovered element of child sex trafficking in the Marianas Islands. And, of course, Epstein himself got off with multiple slaps on the wrist across multiple administrations, thanks to his DC (and Mossad) connections. All these people and institutions retained conservative support in the face of a deluge of accusations and a torrent of new victims coming forward.

I think a big part of that is how the 80s/90s had inherited a lot from the 1950s that never really made it over the 2000s divide.
So what you had in the 1980s was 50s revanchism that dominated mainstream culture while a strain of alt-media was growing in the cracks. And now that old 50s/80s culture has been fully strangled by an outgrowth of 90s/00s culture which has become the cornerstone of modern media and culture.
FFS, there’s a Hillary Duff revival going on. Won’t be long until Britney Spears is rediscovered and we have another Bush running for the White House.

Stop offloading thinking to others
The irony of this statement is so thick you could choke on it.
It’s your laisse-faire thoughtlessness that’s lead you to tolerate the recklessness of others. You’re not thinking at all, just closing your eyes because it makes you feel safer.
Ignorance is your Strength

It’s cute that you think strains of marijuana haven’t changed in thousands of years.
You’re a real smart guy who definitely knows about weed.

You’re absolutely right to push back on this. 20mg was not the recommended dose, after all. Google is an excellent source of reliable information and it’s always best to consult with a search engine any time you’re researching recreational drug use.

Libertarian-ass response. “If you get yourselves fucked up using our product, you simply should have known better”.

Trying any drugs at random at a concert without someone who’s real about dose and expectations is kind of…well, a bad idea in general.
How on earth is this an argument in favor of weed-gummy vending machines?
you know what you’re good for before digging into those
That’s an absurd expectation.
I don’t know what the happy medium here is on labeling and access
I mean, just for absolute starters, I think giving THC the same regulatory treatment as alcohol and cigarettes makes sense. Even past that, regulatory limits on per-unit dosage and warning labels on packages that aren’t 2-pt-font and maybe even a nurse or pharmacist on hand at point of distribution to give you someone with more experience to talk to would be a vast improvement.
Everclear tastes like such ass even mixed with anything it has to be diluted down to like, wine strength to be drinkable generally from what I’ve seen, or at least cocktail strength.
One experience I had in college that stuck with me was that, as someone gets drunker, their ability to self-regulate alcohol intake disintegrates. This is to the point that some of my friends who are 100 lbs skinnier than me were going shot for shot by the end of the night. And that always ended in disaster.
The fact that Everclear tastes like ass doesn’t dissuade someone who is already 3+ drinks in. Especially if they’re just pounding them.

Was going to say… My experience was this intense vertigo and nausea. Next morning I felt like absolute shit.

Wife tried a 20mg weed gummy at a concert and was completely knocked on her ass. I went to a bachelor party and mindlessly chomped through a bar of brownies that had, like, six doses in it. These indie producers turn delicious pieces of candy into maximum strength pharmaceuticals. I’ve got a million other stories from friends and neighbors who had similar experiences.
Nevermind the children, I don’t think adults are capable of just taking this shit recreationally without some kind of supervision. Incidentally, that goes for alcohol and nicotine, too.

That’s a very dangerous game, especially compared to just finding a higher paying single job.

I mean, 40 hours of work for $48k is an absolute steal in this economy. This isn’t even a bad deal for the employer.

It’s an oral history whose earliest written accounts are dates between 60-150 years after the events in questions.
No more “bullshit” than any number of other 2000 year old transcribed histories.

With AI 1000 lines can be written in a few mins.
Every programmer knows that more lines of code = better software. Encapsulation and abstraction are for suckers. CTRL+C, CTRL+V and you too can code like an AI.

The irony of using the internet on a device to post about the energy consumption of AI
Oh no. Another “you are critical of capitalism and yet iPhone” post.
the joke is considered unfunny specifically because it was AI-generated
It’s unfunny because it’s lazy and cheap. The AI only further illustrates how lazy and how cheap.
You could have done this in paint.net inside 20 minutes.

I’ve documented exploits like you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships that clip through space in Masters of Orion. I watched the six hidden cutscenes in Baldur’s Gate. All those moments will be lost in time…
Time to die.

This whole story hinges on the claims of a nosy housewife calling the police on some people she mistook for Arabs.
Out of that report, and the eventual deportation of the arrested Israel men, came a cascade of increasingly embellished accusations.
It’s all just layers of bullshit.
