"Cant wait for Social Security to be abolished, these useless old people should just die and not waste our resources."

"How do you deal with the fact that Trump will die of old age soon and you basically voted for J.D. Vance instead?"

[–] [email protected] 85 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They don’t care, they like Vance too.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 4 months ago (3 children)

They relate to his general unlikability and being a piece of shit person.

They would vote for Kim Jong Un if they thought it would it would upset β€œlibruhls”.

That's literally why my several members of my family voted for Trump. They really don't like Trump (they voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries), but they really like Vance and hope he'll take over at some point.

I was blown away, because I was under the impression that Vance was fairly universally disliked. I immediately responded with some equivalent of "clearly we watch very different news."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Wait, it's physically possible to like Vance? I was sure the dislike is on a genetic level like uncanny valley.

You know what, I'm convinced.

Deport everyone with immigrant blood from America.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think we should just deport everyone, no matter what. It'll be a nice little sanctuary after.

You know, there's technically nothing stopping them from voting for Putin as Speaker of the House.

Some mysterious falling out of windows later he could be president

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (3 children)

What's mysterious about a tragic suicide?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The convenience of it always happening to people who are harsh critics or in the way of putin. Just always to mysterious. That or standards for windows are terrible

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Nothing mysterious about that, I too would suicide if I didn't see the glory that is Putin.

I was thinking about explaining that trump legalized trans weed last time he was president so why not go fully legal?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Here’s the source

It’s truly amazing that orange man legalized weed in 2018.

You know for a goddamn fact that nobody in congress nor the orange man intended to do this.

Yet another example of old white men legislating on stuff they don’t understand but at least in this case it’s a win for us

I've tried to explain what delta 8 vs delta 9 is too many times so I'm trying to simplify it.

Weed isn't a single drug, it's a complex plant that contains many psychoactive compounds called cannabinoids. The best known and (probably) most intoxicating of these is what's commonly called THC, technically delta-9-THC, though over 100 others have been identified so far. Some of these are highly (pun intended) psychoactive while some appear, at least to the user, to be pharmacologically inert. Regardless, a hastily-written 2018 federal farm bill which was partially intended to legalize commercial hemp essentially legalized all of them including even tiny (<0.3%) concentrations of delta-9. That has allowed for a massive market of legal (in states which haven't since passed their own laws saying otherwise) weed. It's not the same weed sold by regulated recreational/medical dispensaries in legal states, though. Rather, these are the products you may have seen in gas stations and head shops, most of which contain at least some delta-8-THC, a compound that is very closely chemically related to delta-9. The key thing to understand, though, is that despite very similar chemical structures, two related drugs can vary substantially in terms of their potency and subjective effects.

I think that's about as simple as I know how to make it but I'll be over here spending my Thanksgiving evening in bed with my dogs and a bottle of wine if anyone has questions.

So like keeping sugar illegal but legalizing all the artificial sweetners.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Eh, kind of but not really. This is where it starts to get complicated and where I'm out of my chemical depth.

While (some) cannabis does contain at least trace amounts of many of these compounds, essentially all of the intoxicating cannabinoids produced other than (most of the) delta-9 are actually semi-synthetic, originating from hemp-extracted CBD. Now, as long as the product of the reaction (IIRC, isomerizarion involving heat and something like citric acid) is pure, the fact that it was synthetically produced does not in and of itself make that resulting compound unsafe. Where it gets hairy is the fact that even delta-9 remains poorly studied today thanks to over five decades of prohibition, and we have basically no idea what ingesting large quantities of any one of these 100+ minor (think something on the order of <1% in the average plant) cannabinoids is actually doing to our bodies.

The real issue, though, is that the lack of any regulatory oversight whatsoever allows shady, greedy distributors to cut an already dirt cheap product with even cheaper and potentially deadly chemicals like vitamin K. You'll likely hear a disproportionately loud amount of "delta-8 bad" talk (and I'm not trying to promote its use, either) but the most serious harm probably has less to do with the compound itself and more to do with such toxic adulterants. That said, scientifically studied or not, there are reputable and entirely legal sources for many of these substances, although they aren't necessarily gas stations.

You've already received a joke answer, so yes, breast reduction surgery for guys is a thing. And sometimes the doctor can convince some insurance companies to cover it. But ymmv, because USA.

Trump is going back to being a Democrat. I feel like I've been lied to, but you obviously saw it coming and was one step ahead of me all along. Well played.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

That's not what it says

the study found that cisgender males accounted for the vast majority of breast reductions, with 80% of surgeries among adults performed on cisgender men and 97% of surgeries among minors performed on cisgender male teens.

It'll be really funny seeing people die from listeria after drinking listeria milk on purpose

Putting the CEO of a space ship company in charge of the government's space ship funding makes about as much sense as letting Congress vote on giving themselves raises

I heard his AG has plans to send in the military to take away your guns! For your safety!

Heard about something about how his AG pick potentially making it so at least people must register their guns. No idea how true or if it's gonna happen, but I imagine that alone would be enough to make a lot of his voters super angry.
