Well I won’t pretend it’s impossible. But I’ve been alcohol free for >2 years and had store bought edibles 2-3 times per week ever since. And over the years I haven’t noticed any pattern, sometimes a gummy will just be way stronger than the others in the pack, or have nearly no effect.

Maybe it’s some variable that I can’t correlate but I would think I would have noticed. Vapes feels fairly consistent is also a clue that it’s not just my system, but idk.

FYI I find the dose in store bought edibles are generally poorly mixed. It's very common for one to have 2-3x the effect for me. I've tried many brands.

That's why I take an edible at around 1/2 my desired effect, which for me is only 2mg, an hour before I want the effect and then take a vape to increase it to the preferred level. Reduces the amount of shit going in my lungs but makes the effect way more controllable.

That's great, but just because you happen to be informed & engaged doesn't mean the people that aren't are stupid.

I'm in favor of a wealth tax as a corrective measure, which is how this prop was structured, but on as a broader recurring tax I am against it. If I was less informed on this prop or otherwise held a stronger "If it's wrong to do it recurring then it's wrong always" position, then I would have voted against it. It doesn't take much effort to empathize with why people would be against new tax structures.

Trump literally Did A Communism when he bought a chunk of Intel.

I'm not as excited about communism, I just want aggressive broad socialism.

That makes sense, that wasn't the mental image I had in my picture. It's hard for me to understand why someone would react that way then if the sequence was, for example

A: Says something awkwardly too loud

A: "Sorry my brain made that too loud"

B: Disgusted look

In that interaction, person B is a jerk IMO.

Did you not read my comment before responding? I explained what I was picturing & asked for an example of what they meant in case they weren’t aligned

Well, yeah, no shit.

Maybe provide an example, because I'm picturing someone making a mistake and claiming it was "their brain that made them do it". Which, ND or otherwise, is a lame ass excuse. If it actually was a direct consequence of being ND then I would at least expect the respect of discussing it in a mature way.

It's pretty much every post in this community.

I've been on the platform for like a month and already told to go back to Reddit 3 times.

people are really stupid

Wrong. People are generally intelligent.

Propaganda is just very effective, even against intelligent people, and most people don't have the extra time/energy or desire to investigate each prop. Which is a structural failure to not prioritize it, but that's the point. There are systems in place to make political research feel both not important and also very exhausting. You live in a society full of very intelligent people, a slice of those intelligent people use their positions of power to add layers upon layers of friction to the political system so that they can retain their power.

You are not surrounded by idiots, but, you ARE ruled by criminals.

You can kill a human with a well place punch or just a chokehold.

So yes, you can also do it with a thumbtack.
