So I figured watching 12 Years A Slave was the best way to start the day today. Now I feel like going back to bed.

leaf peepers should be shot upon entrance to a northeastern state for being too lame to let live. Trees are loving every where if you need to get off by seeing them in a different color. Holy gently caress at least say you're going antiquing to appear slightly less boring.

Their whole thing is to drive up to the ~peak~ areas each weekend, retreating further south and outwards each time, to unfairly harness many falls worth of peak color each year.

Gamers struggle so that one day they may have journalistic coverage as unbiased and hard hitting as Variety. Seriously, as I get older gamers seem more and more idiotic about pretty much everything.

Lots of poppy, natural gas, hookah, and cannabis. Sometimes, LSA, although the exact mechanisms for infecting your alcohol supply weren't too well know; when it happened, you charged a premium.

According to Herodotus, the Scythians had been taking a certain kind of hemp and throwing it on hot rocks in steam lodges since time immemorial. Maybe the Romans got themselves a connection.

There were also some more herbal teas that we don't use as much. Really, if you're getting high for fun, you're either a toff, a rural peasant, or a trader. Middle-class romans, especially after monotheism, just didn't consume the products of the Persian trade.

That, and bitter kola root tea.

Well, which action are you talking about? Some of them were more police action than others; some, done to ban the use of slavery. In general, I am pro-enforced abolition.

Of course a Belgian wouldn't want to hear how without American bananas, they'd be in Imperial Germany's sphere.
