Weed and the weird mysticism and biotruthing of the right go together pretty well. Just ask Joe Rogan

Nah in the past these are the people who would have looked at black people getting lynched or women being burned alive for being witches and loudly proclaimed "serves them right".

I mean that would make things simple, but it's not true for everyone. If you manage to convince a genuinely empathic, but dumb, person that the right wing solutions are actually best and that socialism leads to people starving in the streets or whatever, that compassionate person will idiotically argue for the right out of actual compassion and empathy.

'Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity' and some people are really loving stupid.

edit: That's not to say the majority of the right isn't massively garbage, I'm just explaining why Joe Rogan weed heads are so dumb.

street dealers don't necessarily know what they're selling, and if they call it sour diesel that just means that somebody somewhere in the chain decided this was close enough smelling to sour diesel that they could call it that and get more money for it. the professionals in legal states are required to actually keep track of what they are growing and selling

Most people on the street are dealing weed that was bought legally in places like Colorado so yeah, they most likely know exactly what they're selling these days.

At least that's the way it is around where I live

Lol I definitely agree with the contrarian thing. Society at large has been wrong on a number of occasions and it often takes people with critical thinking skills and empathy to notice and do something about it. Lots of galaxy brain libertarian types come tonthe conclusion that society is ALWAYS wrong and that they are woke. They never question any of the contrarian slop they eat up.

1985!

I was 13 years old in 1985 and I can tell you there was no internet back then. I was programming BASIC on my Commodore.

So I guess they talked on the phone or something back then?

wasn't like that in rural east Texas two years ago, which was the last time i had to buy street weed. was mostly mids and poo poo at that place and time; our market couldn't support the $25/g price point you end up with when reselling legal poo poo that cost $18/g from the dispensary. markets may have shifted in the last 24 months though.

I just went to create this subreddit and was pleasantly surprised that it already exists (but is almost empty).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Enough_keanu_spam/

I honestly switched to a new reddit app that has title filters so I could filter out "Keanu" and "Reeves" and I still see dozens of posts about him a day. There was one today that literally compared him to Jesus.

Is this all John Wick related? Like I didn't see anyone loving with Keanu when he was making Man of Tai Chi and 47 Ronin or whatever? They came out just before JW, but there wasn't any buzz then. did John Wick just get people into him and the stories about him being pretty chill in real life push him into superhero territory?

He survived metoo completely unscathed and by all accounts actually is a pretty decent guy. I don't blame people for liking him. This poo poo though is going a little too far

IMHO it's a resurgence of the Sad Keanu meme from 10 years ago. That whole meme was meant to be sad because he was a nice person. Then his career picked up again and everybody was glad for him. But if everybody hadn't talked about Keanu and his life back then, nobody would care about him now.

It's the one's about how he 'hover-hands' during photoshoots that get me. Reddit loving loves those pictures because they feed into their narrative that all women are out to take down men given the slightest opportunity.

Basically. There's definitely a lot of astroturfing-- there always is on reddit-- to coincide with John Wick 3 and the new video game and Toy Story 4, but for some reason all the Lost Boys really latched onto it this time. I think the absence of a new season of Rick and Morty + years of semi-ironic reddit memes (Sad Keanu, Keanu is immortal, hey did you know Keanu is apparently a really nice guy in real life?) reached a potent and dangerously stupid alchemy.

those movies are both very bad, are you surprised that people don't like them and weren't excited by them?

i'm pretty sure i asked if the Keanu Reeves resurgence was purely John Wick related, or were there any other factors, because I don't remember any buzz about his movies immediately prior to that. But you can read whatever you want i guess.

lmao just loving look at this poo poo

quote:

AITA for wanting another child?

Throwaway because I'm sure some people will find this controversial and I don't want it tied to my main.

When my wife and I got married we agreed that we would have 2 kids unless both were girls, then we'd have a 3rd to try for a boy. I'm a guy's guy and I grew up with only brothers so I feel strongly that I want a son to bond with. That's not to say that I don't love my daughter equally. I just want to raise someone to follow in my footsteps with sports and girls and stuff. After some convincing, my wife agreed to this but said that if the 3rd kid was a girl, we'd stop trying. Anyway, we ended up having one boy (8 years old) and one girl (5 years old). This background is important because you need to know that having a 3rd kid was something that was on the table.

Last month, our son told us that he likes boys. This is totally fine, I'm not a homophobe, but I'm starting to feel like I want to have a 3rd kid so we can try to have a straight boy. I love my son more than anything and I wouldn't love a straight kid more than him, but at the end of the day I wanted to be able to bond with one of my kids over traditional masculine stuff, which includes women.

My wife doesn't think that this is a good reason to have a 3rd kid. She said that she would be open to having a 3rd kid but that she finds my reasoning disgusting and she doesn't think she can go through with it knowing the reason for me wanting one. I don't think she understands how special it is for a father to have a son who can follow in his footsteps. Am I the rear end in a top hat or is she overreacting?


i cannot be satisfied with my children until i have one who wants to pound that vag like me and i can talk to him about POUNDING over some BEERS like MEN

i didn't venture too far into the comments other than the first few sorted by default best, but somehow everyone was rightfully making GBS threads on this profoundly oblivious to his own shitheadedness fuckface

This is the third John Wick film and the previous ones were already cult classics, so I think the astroturfing is mostly done by Disney. It's not just social media posts, look at this poo poo

It definitely is. There's been an uptick in Disney astroturf on reddit, and Keanu just had his first role with Disney in Toy Story 4. There's also a ton of articles spamming Marvel subs about how Marvel Studios keeps approaching Keanu for a role and they want to find one "just right" etc. etc. etc. It's very manufactured. I want him to be Silver Surfer, somewhere his lack of range is an asset like with Neo or Ted
