Invalid Validation posted:Because the lizard brains that actually look at those terrible pictures only care about affirming their beliefs and not about actual content. That’s why most of them aren’t factual but they seem just plausible enough to be true and gently caress googling. Yeah, my dad will repost anything that reaffirms his bootstraps mentality like that "Bill Gate's rules for success" without ever checking for attribution. It's endlessly frustrating to have the generation who raised me to never trust anything from the internet blindly trust literally anything from the internet which aligns with their lovely worldview.

Once everyone from Goldman Sachs is in jail, talk to me about deterring welfare fraud. This sort of approach seems to work for me, or at least it shuts people up and stops them going on about it.

I got two blood relatives I keep contact with because I actually genuinely like them and the rest I haven't had any contact with in years.

This is an interesting new format where the OP asks a question that actually has some debate among the EPROWs rather than just a straight talking point repeat or two minutes' hate   many people posted in favor of marijuana, but those posts aren't funny   you're a smoker complaining about the smell of marijuana

You have to really be on one to type "it's no different from alcohol" at the top of your explanation for why something shouldn't be legal. e: Also, there are certainly stories of people bragging about abusing the welfare system that are true. One of the most insidious things about the welfare queen myth is that it's self-fulfilling: some of the people who get convinced you can live the good life via welfare are going to actually try it.

Do they also not realizing that "no smoking" is still applicable regardless of what you're smoking? You're not going to suddenly have in influx of weed smokers in your no smoking apartment, lady.

If we're going to start outlawing things based on their smell, can we start with those loving pear trees? They don't even have the courtesy of getting anyone high to compensate for it.

Bradford pears. They’re also a lovely tree that tends to break easily and is an invasive species that is cross breeding with Chinese pears and loving up all sorts of habitats. Cheap subdivision developments plant them because they’re cheap and hardy but they’re garbage trees and should all be chopped down

On the odd occasion someone has pointed out pot smoke to me it just makes me hungry. Then again so does pig poo poo, so my olfactory system might be slightly defective.

I sometimes wonder about comparative smelling ability. We test our children for vision and hearing in elementary school, but that's mainly so that we can give them corrective lenses / hearing aids if they need it. Even if we tested smelling ability, it's not like we have a way to correct it... For example, there's a chemical we use in our lab that is infamous for its foul smell, commonly described as a very pungent, foot-odor smell. Anytime anyone in the lab uncorks it, the entire lab will moan and groan about it. ...and I can barely smell it. I have to get my face right up in the bottle to get any whiff of it, and then it's just a mild stink. Now I'm wondering if there's people hyper-sensitive to the smell of pot smoke, or if they're just cranks.

I think it's because I always associate it with being younger and driving through the fields to go somewhere for dinner on sundays. I've lived near farms enough of my life to not find the smell offputting at least. But yeah pig poo poo = dinnertime is not the best response in the world.

Pot smell isn't too hard to get rid of and it's basically only from smoking. If you vape it, or toast it, or eat it. It's barely noticeable in my experience. What I'm saying is we should make everyone eat pot instead and same with tobacco. gently caress a smell.

Stale pot smoke smells like stale, dried out dog poo poo - not exactly revolting/repulsive or especially strong, but very distinct and hard not to notice/fixate on once you know its there. Pot butter just smells like the Platonic Ideal of a Middle School Boy's Locker Room baking in the sun.

Was just trying to evoke a very negative, strong smell that you can't escape from and that seemed like it would convey the idea for anyone that had to experience it while going through school.
