I would have thought that weed legalization would drive down housing prices in some areas since grow houses would become unnecessary.

Does that mean I can tell a restaurant that their nasty cucumber water is unhealthy?

Edit: wait come back, I need to justify avoiding cucumber water.

It would mean cucumber water can't be sold as healthy, nor any other flavored water. If you're going to say water is healthy, there is zero reason for this, and it will just feed into misinformation/scaremongering about the flavor ingredients.

But cucumber water is unhealthy. Cucumber is one of the deadliest plants on earth and it tries to warn you itself with its terrible taste.

No way, if cucumbers are bad why are pickles delicious?

Vinegar is a substrate that aids in recombinant DNA modifications, which is what pickles are. Th deadly cucumber is fundamentally eradicated as its DNA is changed into a crisp pickle. That's why it's called CRISPR.

Chewing tobacco's popular because it's got context-laden addiction behavior cues,
What does this mean?

I ask because chaw is loving nasty and I've never met a young person or even middle-aged peer who doesn't view it as a gross blight, but maybe there's a PornHub category for "Woman, Skoal".

It was loving everywhere in my Michigan school in the 90s. Disgusting Mountain Dew bottles with vile black fluid laying everywhere

Interesting that they used Mountain Dew, in SoCal it was all Diet Coke cans. Gotta stay camera ready!

I figured it out:

Kids love comic book movies, especially Iron Man.
Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man.
Robert Downey Jr. also starred in the 2020 version of Doctor Doolittle.
Doctor Doolittle in the stories was always having a pinch of snuff from his snuff box.
Snuff, while not chaw, is very easy to think of as chaw-related.
After seeing the movie those kids would read Doctor Doolittle and be introduced to snuff.

I'd be willing to bet there has been a commensurate decrease in rear end-eating (which I have been told young people are or were into) after being exposed to the Pushmi-pullyu, assuming one of those was in the movie too.

I've seen that joke elsewhere as well, but I believe if you tried to replace one pest with another a step up the food chain, it would only take one or two steps until they didn't have enough food to sustain a population.

Most places only have perimeter walls about 8' tall if they have anything more than a fence, I see it as a "look, we're doing something" type thing mostly.

There were a lot of jokes going around about how we're going to build a wall around this station and Mexico is going to pay for it about 6yrs ago.

An 8’ concrete wall, maybe with barbed wire at the top, is pretty much as meaningfully protective as you can get before installing armed guards, automated turrets, or dogs+bees. At a certain point in security you’ll fend off punk teens hepped up on goofballs, drunk assholes, and people who briefly want to do a thing but are unprepared, and then there’s a big jump to stopping a determined attacker.

That wall and signage and cameras also do a good job of signaling that this is a “gently caress around and find out” location, but a determined attacker is presumably willing to “find out”.

i mean, at the end of the day i would rather have feinstein as my senator than whoever the last republican who ran was. the thing about legislators is they really only need to do what they're told to be pretty good.

that said, california's primary system means that next election is probably a Democratic candidate running against her in the general election

It was that way in the last election but based on DeLeons recent behavior I'm not certain if Feinstein winning was the worse outcome.

No it wasn’t his mom that died in 9/11 it was allegedly four employees of his mom’s then company who died when the towers fell and this led to his mom going broke and was why they were poor. Or something.

Oop looks like he changed it again, it was her being enveloped in the cloud of debris that gave her the cancer that killed her, she refused to sign up for aid for survivors because she didn’t want to take money away from first responders and they could afford to take care of their medical bills.

None of those are true because 9/11 is code for IK, which stands for International Kombat, an underground bloodsport tournament. She wasn't paying attention during signups and mistakenly signed up for a 911 fight, which is also a Kombat Kode (this is how these tournaments work for those not "in the know") for Armless Kombat. At the start of her fight her arms were immediately removed and she died of bloodloss. Her opponent was deeply traumatized because he had used a Slo-Mo Kode - 433 - which meant that he was forced to observe her dying in agony for longer than usual. Later he named a song after that Kode to express his sadness to others.
