Like I know a mile is 1.6 kilometers, but I can't judge distances in kilometers. It's about 10 minutes walk at a brisk pace.

My Imaginary GF posted:Lmao how many grammes of peppers are you drying out? Dealing with the fact that 16 tablespoons goes into a cup, 3 teaspoons goes into a tablespoon and everything having to do with pounds and ounces does not in fact rule. SedanChair posted:Evangelicals believe magic is real and Satanic. Then wouldn't the correct thing to do be to confidently eat halal meat knowing that your faith in god will armor you against the inferior power of Satan? It seems like cringening in fear suggests that you're lacking in faith or that you secretly think Satan is more powerful. GhostofJohnMuir fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Sep 26, 2014 |

the only metric unit of measurement i am even vaguely comfortable with is celsius. 0 and below is cold and bad, 10 is cold but not bad, 20 is good, 30 is too hot. 40 is outta control. anything between those numbers is just shades.

It's going to be so weird in 10 years when the SCOTUS has made weed legal to go to a weed store and buy it and not have to eye the dwindling supply in your bag and worry about a)your guy being around and b) your guy being in stock.

Your neighbor Bob's weed is greener and grows higher because he shops at lowe's and you have poor drainage and light because a neighbor wont cut down her loving tree and now clinging and suffering.

The crowd I hang around prefer cigars in backrooms with plush leather sedan chairs. Cigarettes are for poors. Its rude to ask if they smoke, as that could imply they're a poor and cause offense.
