I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

idk how business works. I think I'd be annoyed if I was a shareholder otherwise unaffiliated with a company and they tried to pass off some bullshit about retail theft or people getting on diet meds. I'd assume they were making excuses for mismanagement. of course there's other poo poo involved that probably makes them cover for each other.

Safrole, one of the components in sassafras tea/etc, is a known carcinogen. It wasn't made illegal in commerce just for grinsies. If you want to flavor things with sassafras, you can buy safrole-free concentrate.

mdma isn't a carcinogen, guess we gotta just take all that nasty safrole we can and turn it into mdma just to be safe. I'm happy to bite the bullet and be the one who safeguards it all
