The tl;dr of that article isn’t even “no”. It provides both sides of the accounts and references academics that argue both ways.

I read it to make the same argument you did, but ended up considering it a surprisingly well written article.

Dancesafe.org was it! I’m going back over 20 years to the late 90’s early 2000’s. I can’t comment on the state of ecstasy today, I haven’t rolled in over 20 years.

Worse than that, that one website dance something that would test pills found that a huge percentage of the “ecstasy” people took didn’t contain MDMA. A surprising amount didn’t even contain illegal drugs. Just over the counter speed.

Pretty much the same thing for watermelon. It was an easy to grow fruit that freed slaves used as a source of income and they caricatured it in racist media.

Wine didn’t exist until Jesus got tired of water and wanted to catch a buzz.

Same boat. My partner’s grandfather had a bunch of WW2 memorabilia that their parents passed down to us. Among it are the papers of some Nazis he took off their bodies as well as other odds and ends.

It just sits in a box in our closet. It’s interesting history, but definitely not something I have any interest in displaying.

Private landlords would just sell to large corporate landlords who could profit with smaller margins.

Switching from Twitch to Kick is like leaving Twitter for Truth Social. Kick was started by people who were kicked off Twitch for gambling and other banned content. And I don’t just mean poker, I’m talking about those skin gambling sites where streamers were found “promoting” but really owned and were rigging their bets to make it look like you can win big.

Plus Kick’s backend uses the same Amazon services that Twitch does, so if your point is not to support Twitch and their parent company Amazon, Kick definitely isn’t the right choice.

To be fair, it’s more like that annoying friend who babbles on and on about what they think is going to happen. They’re never quite sure, and are always changing their mind as the movie keeps going.

I mean, if those Indians would just go back to their own county, we wouldn’t have this problem.

What’s really stupid is that I know a few women with traditionally male sounding names (Ryan, Alex, etc) who add their pronouns because they are sick of people assuming they’re male, but fuck them right?

I tend to agree, but I’ve found that most LLMs are worse than I am with regex, and that’s quite the achievement considering how bad I am with them.

It’s not, that’s what it’s going to look like after the restoration is completed.

It’s a moo point, like a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t matter. It’s moo.

Sure. I wasn’t arguing against that. I just said it’s a silly article if it’s whole point was “the movie is funny, but the movie about Pop-Tarts by Jerry Seinfeld isn’t deep enough”.

And? Not every movie has to make a stance on something. It’s written by Jerry Seinfeld. Do you really care about his thoughts on some political, environmental or social issues?

It’s a silly point though. You mean the Pop-Tart movie written by Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t make a point??? Well color me surprised.

I’m not sure why you’re saying that to me, or better yet what you think I mean? I’m questioning why in the commenters ideal situation only cops would have guns as opposed to nobody.

That’s a weird statement. If the police were the only people carrying guns, why would the police need them?
