You do realize that your providing sources for someone else who didn’t doesn’t make them less emotional, nor my original post “ironic” for not knowing your sources.

I stand by my original post, which was a cursory google search of us history.

Thanks for providing sources.

However, my ultimate point that it was never a gateway drug and bans were consistently protested remains.

Is your point that I’m wrong for not knowing everything because I said “Here’s what I found, stop being emotional and show me what you found.”?

Good day.

You’re going to have to provide some source for it being illegal. Arguably, it was contentious in the 30s, but the first official ruling was 1970.

It also seems like you don’t understand that it being banned 50 years ago is not the same as it being banned for 50 years.

It was banned in 1970, but 3 years after, states pushed back.

Alcohol was banned in 1920, and 13 years later, it was unbanned.

You are coming across as very emotional about this, but you are showing how little you have researched. I don’t have time to bring you up to speed if you are only going to keep your fingers in your ears while you shut your eyes and scream how right you are.

Have a good day.

After a quick search through us history, alcohol was banned around 1920 and lasted for about 13 years. The marijuana ban that we all know of happened, get this, in 1970, and states began pushing back only 3 years after. So, alcohol was banned far longer than marijuana. The d.a.r.e. campaigns and other propoganda coupled with the inability to do scientific studies on the drug created the mass panic. There were not serious problems, other than some politician needing a platform.

What an unusual shrimp.

Uh oh… This would actually work. I’m already on board for the squeaky king. ALL HAIL THE SQUEAKY KING!!!

Those poor multi-billion dollar…

Nope, I cannot even finish typing that sentence.

Fuck 'em.

My hands feel weird…

I’ll agree that competition is not as robust.

However, it will be interesting to see how many “non-techy” people discover how easy it is to find content for free without ads.

Good o’le “Bobwehadababyitsaboy”

I also remember when CarrotTop did the C-A-L-L-A-T-T commercial, so that’s fun/old…

Please? Please? Please, please!?

So, without reading the article, I’m assuming it’s lethal to humans and not just an issue where we all need to tell the closest rat to have a glass of cranberry juice for their uti.

Okay… Sheesh! Text message, email, voicemail, and now lemmy post!? Fine, I’ll call to schedule my yearly appointment. Happy now, doc?

The ps1 game discs often played OST music in regular cd players too. I remember walking around or riding in the car with a few game discs and my portable cd player. Good times.

Seconded.

I’ve played most of the games.

New Vegas is best for overall gameplay.

Personally, I like 4 best, but that’s because I played it first and the newer interfaces and voice-acting integration is smoother (it’s a newer game, so this is kind of th point). But, everyone I’ve talked to says New Vegas is the best, and I have to agree.

Absolutely.

It’s good.

If you’ve never played the games, it may take a few episodes to figure out, but my kids (who’ve never played) enjoyed it.

The universe has so many characters, factions, and creatures that I would say not even 1/4 are in the first season, so there is a lot of in universe room to expand and explore story-wise.

Not often I say this about new streaming series, but I highly recommend!

I definitely would argue most people don’t ever work 8 hours a day.

Even when I was scheduled in a factory, I had 10-15min here, 30min there of downtime waiting on the line, going poo, being told to change posts, watching people drop pallets and then everyone scrambling to pick up the spill.

That’s why I’ll always advocate work from home. Get your shit done, and get on with life.

It’s a very hard line to tow.

I think the death penalty should really only be allowed for mass murder / enslavement.

However, I doubt any billionaires are innocent of enslaving people, even if it’s “I paid them ($0.07 / day, which is slave wages)!” So, fuck the ultra rich. They didn’t get there by hard work; they got there by exploiting people and the system. Finances are not unlimited, so funneling that much money to yourself means you are directly depriving whole communities of livelihood and, almost always, actual life.
