now, let me be clear. the call has been made by some that i should suck increduloushulk's schlong. i've heard it, on the, uh, the cspam boards. *gives a grin to the crowd* pretty rambuncious bunch. *press corp laugh at his easy humor and relaxed nature, before he sobers up in to wise father mode*. But now is not the time for blowing, or sucking. Now is the time, for Americans, of all walks to life, to get together and lie down in the ditches. It's been raining hard out there, in the streets, but someday that sun will come. But until then, there's gonna have to be people serving as boardwalks so my nice new shoes (thank you Michelle) don't get all muddy. I'd call on mr hulk to join them. A wise man once told me, that you have to learn to drown in the mud before you can get your whole cock taken down a presiden'ts throat. Thank you, and may God bless America.

i absolutely do not understand why theres any reason to ban menthol cigarettes. i can kinda understand other restrictions on flavors, but menthol is the last thing that a 16 year old is going to want, no?

that can only lead to one conclusion... the cruelty is the point

How long have you been tied to this chair? The single lightbulb above your head buzzing incessantly? Your head throbs.

Then He walks in. His Corthay oxfords stepping gently around the stains on the concrete floor. You can't see him, he's behind you, but you feel his presence. It feels like a warm, patchwork quilt.

Then He stops.

He's right beside you.

It's quiet, save for the buzzing lightbulb. Your ears go warm with blood as your heart pounds. Barack leans in, his lips mere inches from your ear. You can feel his soft, minty breath on your scalp. Do you also smell the caramel of nicotine? Your chin trembles, your eyes welling up with hot tears, as you hear him whisper softly, delicately:

v o t e

Nearby, you hear a gun click.

They banned flavored ecigs as a result of that particular moral panic and the ecig makers were like "c'mon, there's lots of flavored smoking products! this seems unfair!" Then another finger on the monkey's paw curled up and the state started pushing aggressively to ban all flavored tobacco, even hookah and menthols. They apparently exempted hookah at the last minute (probably because it looked v. racist to ban hookah when bongs, cigarettes, cigars, etc. are all totally legal)

This is absolute bullshit. One of the simple pleasures is mixing various flavors of tobacco in my small hookah (apple with menthol is really good).

There's no legitimate reason why plain tobacco cigarettes should be allowed and menthols disallowed, but the press releases are all framing this as "protecting the black and LGBT communities" which is pretty loving comical to say the least.

I don't think black people agree with you on that.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-24/ban-on-flavored-tobacco-approved-by-california-assembly

quote:

Supporters of the legislation blasted a new advertising campaign from tobacco companies that claims the bill discriminates against Black and Latino smokers, saying that the ads disingenuously portray the industry as an ally of communities of color.

The tobacco industry ad, which calls the bill “politics at its worst,” alleges that the measure would criminalize menthol cigarettes, “giving special treatment to the rich, and singling out communities of color.”

Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), the chairwoman of the California Legislative Black Caucus, said it is racist for the tobacco industry to claim the bill discriminates against Black people by prohibiting the sale of menthol cigarettes in the state.

“I am insulted that the tobacco industry would make an effort to make us believe that mentholated cigarettes are part of African American culture, and that this is a discriminatory piece of legislation against Black people,” Weber said during the floor debate.

I sort of get that... here in Minnesota Saint Paul banned all flavored tobacco products at stores that are not adults only (ie only a tobacco shop can sell flavored tobacco) which vaguely makes sense if you want to target teen smoking. except for the part where tobacco is always behind the counter at a convenience store of course


you just cited a single legislator though? doesn't really mean anything one way or another?

Useless loving state legislature can't do anything material about housing or firefighting or PG&E but they have plenty of time to micromanage where citizens take small pleasures and snatch that poo poo out of their hands, especially if they're minority groups (who need special liberal guardianship to keep them safe from the things they like).

In walking out and disrupting the playoffs in support of BLM, even for just a few days, they did more with their platform than almost anyone else, including the actual politicians. Of course the corporate entity is going to co-opt and undermine their message, and the player association is run by the huge stars whose interests are almost directly aligned with the corporate entity.

theres a great book i read about the history of the juvie justice system i really gotta find again someday. it had list of qualities that a reform would have in order to get passed; it was related to juvenile justice but it was pretty widely applicable past that. like the poo poo was "doesnt surrender moral authority", "doesnt impact the wealthy", "doesnt reduce state power", "if it backfires it can be blamed on the poor", and nowhere was there something like "is actually effective at all"
