I don't know much about chemicals and tobacco stuffings, but what if when we smoke we could get a little amount of protein.
In any state where it’s legal to walk around in public with an AR-15, people should peacefully do that outside of legislators’ homes.
Obviously, anyone who does this should take safety precautions like wearing a body camera, and being white.
All them being crazy means is they're in the right place not that they're automatically good/right
Often, people will be encouraged to downvote a post not based on its actual content, but by seeing that it is already unpopular. This kind of bandwagoning behavior can be mitigated by simply displaying the number "0" on comments with an upvote count in the negatives. Downvotes will still retain their main effect in hurting user karma and helping hide unsavory comments from the public eye. Anecdotally, I've had posts stay at 0 upvotes for an hour or two before people start to like them, but if my comments get downvoted initially they're almost guaranteed to stay that way.
Death row is crazy expensive, and has lots of failures due to complications with the drugs and they aren't humane or painless and everyone has to watch them die in slow agony.
We should just put them in unsafe cars going crazy fast into brick walls. Terminal velocity would turn them into pink mist is in a fraction of a second, so no pain and the crash would be far enough the spectators wouldn't see much and it's cheaper because you just use a clucker car and a sturdy wall that can be reused.
Most nations are signatories to UN treaties that stipulate nations must not engage in warfare but instead use peaceful means to resolve conflicts.
The exception is that nations may use military force in self defense.
Unfortunately this is sometimes abused by strong nations have either respond to conflict massively disproportionately, or create false flags as a deceptive casus belli for war.
What if the UN removes self defense exceptions, and instead mandates that a nation may only call on its allies to respond in self defense?
My theory is that allies might be less willing to lose their own men and women in conflicts that are not legitimate.
Thoughts?
Now that tik tok is banned, someone with an idea for a new short form video app/site could step up and take over with the right marketing campaign. I assume there are already other apps like it but not mainstream yet.
I think people would agree with the change if done correctly.
That’s pretty much what it is. There is some crazy stuff out there that would make for a great episode of a show lol each episode is a different story!
For one day of the year, all commercials are the same price, we'll call it $100 per 30 second time slot.
Any registered business can enter a commercial, and the winners are all selected at random, regardless of economic/popularity status. You'd only pay the $100 if selected.
Obviously the commercials would be vetted for racism/sexism/generally any crummy behavior, but all participating channels would play the randomly selected commercials all day long. Absolutely no video quality requirements, just maybe a process to get a well balanced audio output for the sake of our own ears.
Take the extra water of the sea, and put it on the moon. That gives you water, salt, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.
We are just one space elevator away!
I must hear a doom metal version of Back Minuet in G. Can someone make an AI play this?
I know sex work in the US is illegal unless it's like OF or porn. So some sort of charity that pays OF stars to film content with people who submit a form to the charity website. Obviously not everyone who applies would be eligible, but I genuinely feel that a good percentage of men that have chronic mental illness (depression, BPD, etc) could use sexual healing. People with cancer and other terminal illnesses need it too. Companionship is important, and sex is a biological component of companionship that brings a lot of chemicals to the brain that counteract the chemicals that rule a depressed brain (that just pure companionship cannot fix).
Hell, maybe theyll recreate that diner scene from "Heat."
Liking or not like something is fine. Just post why you are upvoting or downvoting it. Must be two full sentences long.

People often get frustrated with rising prices due to inflation, and it's a valid concern. However, there are times when purchasing power hasn't actually decreased, yet the complaining persists. This made me think: what if we labeled product prices not only in dollars, euros, or other currencies, but also as a fraction of the minimum wage in your country?
Here's an example:
In my country, the minimum wage is €14.07/hour ($14.45). A liter of milk costs €1.50. Instead of just showing the price as €1.50, the supermarket could include a tag like this:
[€1.50 / 10% MinWage]
This has some clear benifits:
Easier comparison over time: you'd quickly see how price increases relate to income changes
Highlighting disparities: it would be obvious when wages aren't keeping up with inflation.
Awareness for all: even though (hopefully) not everyone earns minmum wage, this system does provide a relatable and consistent benchmark for tracking affordability in the whole of society.
Of course there are nuances since many people earn above minimum wage. For example, labeling something like a house priced at 350,000% of MinWage probably isn’t very useful. But for everyday expenses like groceries, gasoline, or monthly subscriptions, this could be a practical and insightful way to track affordability.
If youre dieing they should offer you to try any drug you want, since you're dieing anyway. Crack? Acid? Shrooms? yes. yes to all of them, because the worst side effect (death) is already happening regardless.
A tiny island that US controls in the middle of the Pacific? Get real! The only way I'll believe it really exists is if someone gives me an all expensese paid trip there. If anyone "goes there" call them a schill on a staged set. When someone does pay for me to go there I'll admit it's real and then pivot to other locations that aren't possibly real. Free vacations for life plus ad revenue from all my streams denying the existence of exotic and fun travel locations!!!
They must use their Mii so that we can tell who they actually are.
12x14 lofted barn with electric in - 12,000 - RTO 150/month
15k for plumbing, insulate, shiplap, flooring, shower/toilet plumbing 3k for septic & run electric in
20k for 1/4 acre
50,000 Small biz loan 7.5%
$350 a month Insurance $100 a month
So for 450 a month in expenses, you could rent the tiny home long term or VRBO
Instead of trying to manage that, make it a social enterprise B Corp, and sell these companies for 10% of profits in perpetuity (to fund a salary for someone to arrange the process of making more)
Individual families can then off 600-800 rentals or just pay the 450 a month themselves.
Gives cheap housing option or revenue option at no upfront cost to the "buyer".
Fuck the corpos
