Tbh I have a couple of friends who got sent to those schools and their parents were just desperate, naïve, and didn’t understand what they were doing. I googled one of the ones my friend went to and there’s really no indication online that anything shady was going on there.

That being said, would I send my kid someplace where they explicitly couldn’t contact me? gently caress no. No regular camping either

I can understand being desperate enough to try anything, I’m not the parent of a troubled teen and really have no idea how I’d try to cope with it, but the indication is “a program for troubled teens in the remote wilderness”, like if that doesn’t set off gigantic alarm bells in your head then IDFK what to tell ya. I wonder what these parents expect the results to be… a good kid? A sober kid? A kid who comes home from prison-summer school in the desert and is suddenly really into school and church? It’s like trying to read a book in a language I don’t speak and have never heard of.

Congo Park episodes slaps but is also insanely dire and horrific.

being the first place in the US with legal weed really did a number on this place, and the delayed effects have really hit hard in the past few years.

I remember visiting Colorado maybe 6 months after weed became legal and my buddy who I was visiting said that traffic and general public errands like groceries etc had become markedly more annoying and silly as people more frequently started just forgetting what they were doing, sometimes in the middle of a highway intersection. I saw a ton of people driving around with passenger doors swinging open or trunks just popped and bobbing, extremely funny.

more about what? denver was the first place in the US with widespread legal weed stores in 2013. a shitload of Weed People moved here so they could smoke more weed. not only do a lot of really terrible people really love weed enough to move somewhere, but it spurred a ton of expensive (and only expensive) development. suddenly, previously less-expensive places are now expensive. so now the only people who can live/move here are rich people who really love weed, the most boring drug. it’s a lot of salesforce dickheads and ancap programmer idiots.

2013-2015 was especially funny because a lot of big concerts got ruined when the headliner got way too high backstage off some mad scientist poo poo before they went on. ellie goulding’s 2013 red rocks show was the most hilarious example of a clearly-panicking woman trying to get off the stage as fast as possible.

the second funniest example was the maureen dowd edible article
