The struggle was real, and there was a lot of variance in prices back then. $30 was in Denton, Texas where they knew they had a captive audience. It was cheaper in Dallas, and much cheaper in Austin.
As they say in real estate, “location, location, location!”
For what it’s worth, I didn’t pay that price very often—I’m no rube, lol.

You are either young or have middle class dealers. In 2007, you definitely did buy weed by the gram, and hydroponic stuff could be $20-$30 per gram in some areas if supply was scarce. Of course, places with competition had better prices, but some rural areas really price gouged.
Ghetto dealers often sold bags by the price alone. $10 was usually 2 grams to an 8th of either backyard weed or Mexican weed that often had little bits of twine and the occasional Hispanic hair in it from when it was put in a bale and taken across the border. Some dealers would also sell nickel bags ($5) that was .75 to 1 gram—basically just enough for one blunt.
I have been glad that I’ve gotten to see the weed industry evolve heavily over my lifetime, and I know that I only see about 20 years of it. I’m sure the old heads from the 70’s would have real stories to tell. In the words of Bill Burr, “you used to buy your weed by the pillowcase.”

You may want to ask more questions first before soliciting that nude.

Troll live streamers. It’s way more fun when you can see their reaction. Kick is an especially fun target—those IRL MAGA types are the biggest snowflakes around.
Never go back to Reddit. Dead inside.

It’s a homoerotic Greek statue of two men wrestling. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character traded in slaves who were made to fight hand to hand to the death, and a lot of the art in the house reflected that.

I assumed that, if it was true, it was because they didn’t know his identity at the time.

I didn’t even notice the pun after searching for “Phil McKracken” for at least 30 minutes.
- Comment on How embarrassing 2 weeks ago:
To summarize my life, I say that I went to the White House, a crack house, and a nudist tree house in my first 21 years. I’ve had 3 near death experiences, the first in a private jet, the second with a gun to my head, and the third from taking bad ecstasy. I do my best to use that perspective for good, even though it can be really hard to reconcile such diverse experiences into a working personality.
No need to thank me, once I saw what reality was, the choice was easy. I always know what side of the line I will stand on.
- Comment on How embarrassing 2 weeks ago:
That is the truth. I grew up in a wealthy family and saw it from the inside before becoming the radical leftist I am today. Rich people don’t hate you—they literally don’t think about you at all. You are so far removed from their reality that when your complaints occasionally reach their ears, they assume you must be lying. They fundamentally can’t accept that their lifestyle and the way they wield power has consequences for other people.
That’s why people say “why is this happening” on the way to the guillotine.

I used to be that way, but post the first Trump administration, I’ve learned that you can’t suffer some witches to live.

I really wanted this headline to be real, but I can’t find it anywhere. I think it’s a photoshopped headline about the real event. Hope someone proves me wrong and provides a link.

There is no evidence for the Jesus pictures either, but I at least assumed it was another one of those half baked renditions based on genetic data from the region and basic biblical descriptions.
- Comment on Judas 2 weeks ago:
I can’t believe I googled this.
For those like me, I found that this does not seem to have even a shred of truth—there is no alternate reconstituted face of Judas, nor is this one mentioned anywhere.

adjective-verb-adjective agrees.
- Comment on Is there any point for current US-based "skilled immigrants" to stay in the US? 4 weeks ago:
I agree. Trump talks a lot, but the final result is usually unpredictable. If you are here legally and you have a desire, I would wait and see what happens, while also setting aside some savings in case you need to move.

That makes me sad. Online obituaries are cheap and easy these days.

That definitely covers some of the workers, but there are people who pursue it as a career rather than a gender identity. There are many documentaries, YouTube videos, and streamer VOD’s about it where you can hear it in their own words.
The word is ubiquitous to describe that culture in Thailand—they literally call them “ladyboy bars”. Calling it a trans bar would be inaccurate in my opinion, because it is not a bar for trans clientele, it is specifically a bar that hires ladyboys as attractive staff, much in the same way a Hooters only employs big breasted women.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
This is a genuine question: I would never use the word shemale because it strikes me as a slur, but I would use the word ladyboy to specifically describe the gender-bending culture of Thai bar workers because some of them do not consider themselves trans, but pursue that path for the career and lifestyle options. Is it still a slur when referring to that phenomenon in Thai culture, or is there a better word to use?
- Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 4 weeks ago:
That is not what is happening here. They aren’t shutting these sites down to keep us safe, they are shutting them down to enforce protection of capital.

Every once in a while, businesses make an anti-piracy push to scare off potential users and make a statement. So far, these efforts have not eliminated piracy completely. This is one of those moments.

Don’t wait, ask her out. Nothing is worse than an opportunity missed from procrastination, and some girls have short fuses when establishing a romantic foundation with someone.
Asking her out isn’t a binding commitment for a long relationship, but it does bookmark you as an interested party.

I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.
