About weed, funniest shit, republicans didn’t understand the language in a bill pushing for hemp-derived edibles and decided to push it through lol https://www.npr.org/2022/07/02/1109576113/minnesota-thc-edibles-accident-delta-8

I think that’s a different bill than our smokeable marijuana bill but you gotta appreciate the irony

After an amendment passed unanimously during a Minnesota legislative session in May, state Sen. Abeler jokingly said: “That doesn’t legalize marijuana — we just didn’t do that, did we?”

And then 2 years later they realize their tax base can’t support their infrastructure and this is how Iowa grows a couple gnarly tentacles

A Republican politician circulating photos of underage girls without their knowledge or consent? Color me shocked. Unlike Gaetz, Cruz has the decency to only used clothed images, so at least we gotta give him credit for that

They should stand before a jury of their peers and the jury should be allowed to hear both sides and come to a determination based on what had been presented to them.

There’s enough credibility in the claim that they’re doing this in order to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights that I think they should stand trial and allow for a conclusion.

Court is often where intent is decided

That’s cool but we really need to start looking at shit like this as intent to deprive people of their constitutional rights and charge them for such

The median driver sure, but the bottom couple percent never miss their exit and tend to do boneheaded shit like swerving into the next lane when there’s a stopped car at a crosswalk. >40,000 US fatalities in 2023. There are probably half a dozen fatalities in the US on any given day by the time the clock strikes 12:01AM on the west coast.

Edit: some more food for thought as I’ve been pondering:

FSD may or may not be better than the median driver (maybe this investigation will add to knowledge), but it’s likely better than the worst drivers… But the worst drivers are the most likely to vastly overestimate their competence, which might lead to them actively avoiding the use of any such aids, despite those drivers being the ones who would see the greatest benefit from using them. We might be forever stuck with boneheaded drivers doing boneheaded shit

If a Halfling wants to abuse this to ‘hide inside an upside-down bucket’ I think the Halfling deserves to become a bucket
