I do not spend 16+ weeks growing and processing these plants for some absolute psychopath to smoke that shit through Richard Dreyfuss' mashed potato mountain from Close Encounters

absolutely fuckin dying lmao.

some people need an enforced "go outside and touch grass" for a set time per day.

somewhat telling how he doesn't even try to refute the claims.

not surprised, mind you.

me in my 20s: i can sleep in a field and it's fine

me in my 40s: i haven't been able to turn my head to the right for 3 days because i stacked my pillows in the wrong order

my parents definitely shaped my politics. I might not agree with my dad on many things but we're in the same ballpark, and he's now 78.

I'm being serious about being a fucking idiot though - I'm definitely not blessed with a brain for fine prose, so it's possible I'm just a thicko.

it's run by shit people, but it's not a shit province, thank you.

my take is that this is the left-wing version of when the right call everything they hate "communism".

isn't that how some folks started guzzling ivermectin during the pandemic?

i laughed way harder than my wife thought appropriate. until she saw what I was laughing at

"people are complicated, sometimes in ways that aren't good" is a difficult thing for some folks to understand.

people are weird. is he a creep? most likely. is he a wrong 'un Epstein style? probably not. if it was shown he was? 1000 years dungeon etc.

I dunno why people have such strong opinions about it. if they suck, to hell with them, otherwise who cares.

right? and I side with most people on here again in how sad I would (not) be about it.

it ain't practical though! and there's reasons why we wouldn't want it in the first place.

and to be clear most of the folks they're referring to _are_ unlikeable pieces of shit who I wouldn't shed a single tear for, but if you're gonna demand people be treated based on things they say off-platform then boy does that get complicated fast.

I have a hard time believing some of these folks would be okay with it if it was someone they didn't like.

also "[x] is still not banned" - being an unlikeable piece of shit doesn't necessarily break the rules. bluesky (presumably) only cares about shit that happens _on their platform_.
