  • ITT: a lot of people not admitting they are American. I would fucking love to see a Xitter style country tag on some of these accounts.

    I’m American, I’ve seen these people in every state I’ve been to, I’ve seen every person who walks by them avert their eyes, I’ve seen even the most liberal of cities make homelessness illegal.

    Punching down is what America does to the world and to our own. The world making fun of how our incredibly wealthy society has a problem with extreme poverty and drugs of oblivion isn’t punching down. They not making fun of the people, they are making fun of the society that has normalized abandoning them.

    This is forcing our eyes open and making us look at ourselves in the mirror, and a lot of people consider themselves the victims in that mirror when they are moving the machine forward with their action or inaction.

    America is the only place where we say “We” and we don’t mean the other 50% of the country. Those people are mutants. No, they’re also us.
















  • You make a really excellent argument! People have been in essence vaping weed via hookah and shisha for a long time. Mixing weed into your shisha doesn’t result in a full combustion. The steam chalice tweaked the design to remove the shisha, but it was still in essence the design borrowed from something that’s been used since antiquity. But it was still like the invention that basically every stoner in the world, let alone anyone who visited Jamaica, had in their head

    The modern electronic vape movement, which arguably started in coffee shops in Amsterdam in the 90’s, started introducing electronic temperature control. Which imo is what I mean when say modern vaping.

    But yeah, don’t disagree with you at all. I would maybe say forced air was never developed beyond volcano cause they patented it and very aggressively protect it.




  • I agree with you, but also the communist bad vs capitalist bad meme war and the corresponding comments are the only reason I’m still on the fediverse.

    With no conservative presence to speak of, you get to see why no unity is possible between groups of any significant size. Leftists will continue to shatter into smaller groups and those groups will vie for dominance inside of the movement. Each group will develop purity tests to identify members.

    Even amongst groups of capitalists, even amongst groups of communists, even amongst groups of lgbtq+ people and the sub groups to which they apply. Especially when those groups interact.

    The human animal is amazing! The only thing most people agree on is violence is required to move society in any significant direction. That tells you everything you need to know about humans.
