Jesus Christ, so many ignorant people in this thread trying to question the scientific data with nothing but their own fee-fees about the politics of cannabis legality and capitalism. So much for this being a science forum.

I watch stuff on my laptop in bed all the time. It’s the main reason I opt for a laptop over a desktop/tower PC.

The only thing I can think of is that they’re mistaking the term Latin America for Central America. But they’d be wrong even then, so idk.

There’s a growing body of scientific evidence that social media use contributes to depression, anxiety, and suicide in various ways. People here are playing touting their armchair psychology but this stuff has been studied by actual psychologists and sociologists. You can easily look it up.

And then, instead of committing co-suicide, an icicle flies in from stage-right and pierces Romeo through the heart.

The climate.

An alleged father can already refuse to accept the legal responsibility for a child.

That doesn’t get him off the hook financially though. If the mother put his name on the birth certificate, he’d probably have to take a test to prove he’s not the biological father. And if he is, tough.

This is why I support legal paternal surrender. As long as women have access to abortions (legal, easy, free), men should have the financial equivalent. That’s only fair.

I’ve got a bridge I could sell you that would look marvelous next to that tin foil cap you’re wearing.

This is actually a very common problem in mental health. I would suggest getting yourself into therapy. Simple self-exploration can sometimes be enough to tear down those walls. You want a therapist who isn’t afraid to “poke,” as I call it; one who isn’t afraid of causing you to break down, because if they’re afraid of making you cry, they won’t be able to help you get over your fears of it.

Dungeon Meshi doesn’t follow a lot of the anime tropes that people who aren’t into anime often dislike; so, I would say it’s at least worth a shot.

Yeah, bad pic.

That woman looks like a sex robot. Maybe just a bad picture? There’s something odd about her face.

No, the people who needed to be convinced were the on-the-fence independents who stupidly thought they’d get a better economy under “Trump the successful businessman” than Kamala “Joe Biden 2.0 Harris.” They’re the ones who dismissed Trump’s stated plans as bluster; the people you’re talking about knew he wasn’t joking and were counting on it.

I wouldn’t fuck with it personally, but I don’t judge those who do. Well, no, that’s not true, actually. I do kind of judge people who participate in it, whether providing or purchasing. That’s probably uncouth of me, but what can I say? I’m a product of my society and my time. I do, however, think it’s totally fine, if practiced correctly.

Which is why I’m all for it being legal. If it’s legal, it can be much more reliably regulated, which is safer for all involved. We should not be banning human vices—that just creates crime. Instead, we should try to manage it and make it as safe as possible, whether you’re talking about sex, drugs, gambling, whatever.

“Dur dur dur, ‘Muricans dumb!”

If you’ve got nothing more pathetic to do than demonize an entire nation online, I suggest you go outside and touch some grass.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with this, so long as the lessons aren’t dictated to be from a religious perspective. I think the Bible and the Quran make sense as required reading as historical works. They’re tremendously important cultural and historical documents. As long as they’re taught from that perspective, I don’t have a problem with them being required reading texts.

The problem starts when they’re being required as texts to legitimize the religions they’re associated with. Then, you’ve got the state supporting some religions over others or no religion at all.

This was only an SNL skit and nothing more.

Fuck that.
