A little before that, i think? Maybe since The Crusades?

Hi, im an insufferable cannabis and science nerd, chiming in:

Your reaction to edibles is based on the amount of cytochrome p450 enzyme that you have in your liver. When you combust cannabis, the thc is converted to delta9thc which is what gets you high. It’s why you cook weed before you eat it. When you eat weed and process it through your liver, it then converts to hydroxy11thc, by means of enzymes, and you digest it, which is why it takes longer to feel high from edibles and why it feels different from smoking.

Everyone has different levels of enzyme. Some people will not get high from edibles. Some people will get high from 5mg. I eat about 300mg before I can feel anything other than sleepy. I drank a 1000mg “canna-lean” syrup once, that’s the highest I’ve ever been, it was fun, but I didn’t lose my faculties.

I’m not saying tolerance doesn’t play a part, but there are other factors. Also if you’re primarily vaping, THATS what you should take a break from. Our cannabinoid receptors did not evolve alongside such highly concentrated thc products, they aren’t used to getting slammed with 85%+ thc, it’s used to like 10-12% found naturally in landrace strains. You’re system is burned out. The biggest scam in the legal industry is the way they market “30% thc!” as a good thing. The big number sells more weed, so that’s all the businesses care about, but cannabinoids and terpenes and INDIVIDUAL BODY CHEMISTRY have way more to do with how you’re gonna feel that high. I prefer a 13-17% thc content that is balanced with thcv, cbg, etc, but the market doesn’t care about providing you a good product, they just want your money.

Anyway, that was a whole lot of unsolicited information, here’s a source about the enzyme ⬇️ have a great day, stay lifted ♡

That’s how I feel about astrology. A horoscope is just a prompt for self reflection. But it’s fun when something feels woo woo or predictive or relatable because… its fun, idk. Its spooOoOoOoKy, it’s fun, it’s cute. Star charts are a skill you have to learn, it’s a hobby, it makes your brain work.

The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.

Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.

Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.

This thread so far has been about extra judicial killing, but can vigilantism encompass less drastic actions? Do you think it is fair to say that the reaction on Reddit/Lemmy every time “the rapist Brock Allen Turner” is mentioned falls under the third type of vigilantism, in the sense that he recieved a light consequence compared to the acts he was proved to have committed? Is the social backlash and the (imo deserved) chorus of “oh the rapist?” in response to his name a form of societal vigilantism?

I appreciate your thoughtful and nuanced post in this volatile thread. Your last sentence immediately made me think of that guy that raped a girl behind a dumpster and then got let off because a judge thought consequences might damage his future. I don’t think anyone should kill him, but I’m happy he doesn’t get any peace on the internet, and i wish he was in jail.

I do not have the means to donate to things that I care about. Most weeks, the difference between overdrafting my bank account or not is literally a few cents. I donate the $3.10 every time the pop up shows up on Wikipedia. I’m sure there are other organizations that need the money more, but I think Wikipedia is SO important, and so far has remained earnest in their behavior. Proud of you for donating what you could, glad I could help a little bit too.

Be well, friend

The first time someone explained this to me and showed me how to invert controls, it changed my life and made video games more enjoyable (I’m mostly a PC gamer out of convenience but prefer a console/controller). I recently played the ff7 remake and forgot that I could invert controls and was about to quit playing until I remembered I could invert. “Standard” controls don’t make sense to me and kinda make me dizzy or seasick.

This is why I love the sims, I get obsessed for x amount of time. I go to work if I have to, but then I’ll play sims every other second I can, I’ll even bring the laptop into the bathroom with me. Won’t sleep, won’t cook, won’t shower, etc. And then… all of a sudden, mid game even, I’m just… done. For months. Or years. And it’s a sandbox game, it’s literally digital barbies, so I can just stop and start over with a whole new game later. If im playing a more traditional game, I NEED to 100% it. I NEED a walk through to make sure I don’t make any wrong choices, it almost takes some of the fun out of it, so I don’t play those kinds that often (my roommate recently let me play Spiritfarer on her console, she had 40hrs and 98% and was like "its not important to the story and i cant find the last one… I got to 100% after 84 hours. We are not the same)

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say “the cube, the brick, the chargey part…with a usb please”

I don’t think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

I love to send and recieve “ugly” or silly pics with my friends and lovers, that doesn’t mean I want them posted on the internet. Idk this girl, we’re not friends irl, maybe she’s fine with it. If someone that I trusted and loved posted a picture of me making a face like the face the girl in this picture is making, mid sentence, with my eyebrows furrowed and my tongue looking weird like I’m in the middle of a word, I would be really embarassed, especially if it then got memeified and shared over and over and over again.

This is not a criticism of the girl in the picture whatsoever. Anyone saying “this is a great picture!” is being ingenuine on purpose. She’s a pretty girl. This is a bad picture of her. Both can be true.

Also this is not meant to be an aggressive comment! But the internet takes things too seriously sometimes.

Whatever! Have a great day! May all your photos be stunners! xoxo

Interesting. I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week with a 30 minute unpaid break, so my schedule is 8am to 630pm, and am required to clock out from 1:30-2p. I leave my house at 7:05am and get home around 720pm. My salaried boss takes a 1 hour break and works from 745a to 345p five days a week. I MUST take my break at 130 for “liability” reasons. My boss takes his break anywhere from 1145 to 2, and if he waits too late to eat he just skips it and leaves early. I wish the lunch break was paid, even those stupid 30 extra minutes would be a game changer for my “work life balance”.

Right?! So many people talking abt trust, and disrespecting her stuff… the plushie is fine. If my man posted a pic of me that looked like that I would be like “oh, this man hates me, got it.” Girl is obviously a cutie, but like, yikes this photo is bad.

It’s called urtification (after the latin for nettles, Urtica dioica) , and humans have been doing it forever for exactly the reasons she mentioned.
