That actually is hilarious.

The dude is just mad because his beloved Bitcoin has taken a massive shit.

This is extremely ironic because his comments and behavior support the government Narrative(s) which are the cause for Bitcoin’s fall from grace. I guess many of us have self-damaging habits that nevertheless prove difficult to give up. Unlike drinking or Mary Jane, however, I don’t think either the vax or defending Ukraine gives you a pleasant high.

I heard that 50% of ukranian parliamentarians are dual-citizenship holders.

I wonder what the second most popular citizenship is...Israel?

Isn't there massive fallout in the ukraine after the Ruskies blew up their Nuclear Reactors? How much more of this shit are we supposed to take...My nerves are frazzled...first we were on the "brink" of nuclear war with NK....now it's Russia. hey...What happened to Fauci and covid?

Word.
Not even right wing virtue signaling gets you respect here. Only thoughtful opinions, obscure facts, and paradigm shifting analysis. Oh and funny stuff.

Unlike drinking or Mary Jane

i gave up the mary jane a few years ago after i thought i felt a ghost, like a presence, fucking with me. i don't know whats in that shit anymore but it isn't anything like it used to be back in the day. It also seems like it creates anxiety and a bit of paranoia.

Evidently Ukraine is presently receiving 20,000 American missiles of a couple types; anti-tank and anti-aircraft.

Low tech trucks with food and fuel vs high tech missiles : trucks lose, tanks run out of gas and troops are hungry.

Large tanks vs a guy carrying a missile; tank may have damage and stops advancing.

Russia can bomb the shit out of Ukraine, but the invasion will be a failure.

Previously bombing someone “back to the stone age” was tried in Vietnam.

I haven't used THC cogeners in many decades since misspent youth. However, it is shocking how powerful the stuff is now. My friend uses the oil to sleep and not take pain meds. I made the mistake of taking his little vial, and I held it up to my nose out of curiosity, and it nearly knocked me out just sniffing it briefly once.

By the way, those weren't ghosts bothering you. It was the telepathic chatter of the lizard people in the tunnels under the earth.

komputodo says

It is much stronger. I've been doing edibles almost daily lately in the evening 2-3 hours before bed over the last month. Helps with sleep big time as a self diagnosed insomniac. Also has cut my alcohol consumption as I like to have 2-4 beers a night. 2 Light beers is max now.

I'm surprised by the anxiety thing. As an angry, high anxiety person it has mellowed me out. I suppose it could cause anxiety if you don't use it frequently and it hits you hard. I'm loving it right now though. I'm finding out not all edibles are created equally either between brands even with the same dose of THC and/or CBD. I take minor amounts as well. 5-10mg at most in a day. See if you can find a low dose edible.

And to give the OP something, I do believe Russia will fail. If they don't fail Ukraine will have to be physically destroyed above and beyond what the media is showing us. What's the point? Sure land is the value, but I see this lasting as a shooting conflict for some time. At minimum the Russian Bear is looking a bit foolish and not as tough as they portray internationally.

Powerful isn't the word for it, it's definitely altered and not the same as Komputodo says.

I would love nothing more than the brown commercial schwag we used to get before legalized pot came on the scene.

I think they are experimenting with different tech that alters weed, and it is not the same pot we used to smoke 20 years ago or more. They grow so much of the stuff for the dispensary market, but only so much makes the cut, then the crap we buy on the streets, are the crap that doesn't even meet that standard.

I wonder if they take that and spray it with something. It's just not natural.

I was thinking about this yesterday, that now that Russia has revealed its hand. I'm sorta relived that they are an army of sorry useless fucks too, and for now the world is safe from the worst of humanity. We weren't the only ones raising a sorry shiftless soy generation.

Why I think Russia will lose

Lose exactly what? Lets see....lets get the people fighting in a small country....fuck it all up...all the infrastructure...then get them in debt with the IMF to rebuild (basically own them)....sounds like no matter what happens, Ukraine is gonna get fucked up

Ukraine is fucked. They are done for.

I just think Russia will have a heavy price tag for this. Just look at our “cancel culture” trying so hard to cancel them…ok that part is sarcasm. But the price of war will have economic impact.

yep, after this pathetic performance in Ukraine, what do we have to fear from Russia. All madman Putin accomplished is destroy his economy which was already in a fragile place. Now the russian people hate him even more and the world united against this fucker and boykott Russian products/imports as much as possible.
He fucked himself big time. Sadly, many innocent Ukrainians are dying.

The US should've nuked USSR as early as 1950 then. For supplying weapons to Norks.

But in reality nobody ever defined supplying weapons to other country as a casus belli. So stop inventing shit.

With the discovery of USA funded BioLabs in Ukraine, funded also by Ecohealth Alliance and Hunter Biden, it appears that they were doing more creation of monster viruses for the next big pandemic.

Putin's brides: "Showing POW on TV is a WAR CRIME!! MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!!"

Eric Holder says

Putin's brides: "Showing POW on TV is a WAR CRIME!! MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!!"

If you're beating or humilating POWs, that is indeed a war crime. Filming it for public consumption is another war crime.

Geneva Convention III, Article 13 - not up for debate, flat out law breaking.

"It's different when our Oligarchs do it, bad when the Axis of Evil Terrorist Rogue States do it!"

Biolabs in the past two weeks:



Biolabs in Ukraine was stupid, dumb, reckless. They were within bear paw reach easily, in a country infamous and legendary for corruption and drunken workers. "I Myake million dollar, selling ze virus to Mr. Tang or Mr. Nogoodnik. Drunk Guard doesn't even pat me down on vay out."

And it was put there to get around US Laws.

This is a big motive for the very wealthy alcohol industry to prevent legalization of weed.

Those Javelins are a game changer for the war against the Russian aggressor.
Finest weapon against helicopters and Russian tanks. Made in the beautiful United States of America!

"Javelin is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin?source=patrick.net

"Its fire-and-forget design uses automatic infrared guidance that allows the user to seek cover immediately after launch, as opposed to wire-guided systems, like the Dragon, which require the user to guide the weapon throughout the engagement. The Javelin's HEAT warhead is capable of defeating modern tanks by hitting them from above, where their armor is thinnest (see top attack), and is also useful against fortifications in a direct attack flight."

You forgot Poland:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piorun_(missile)
The Piorun (meaning "thunderbolt" in Polish) is a man-portable air-defense system of Polish production, designed to destroy low-flying aircraft, airplanes, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Service history
In service: 2019–present
Used by Polish Armed Forces, United States Army, Armed Forces of Ukraine
Wars 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Didn't stop us from supplying Britain and France in WW1 & WW2 before we actually joined in and bailed them out.

I'd be careful with Wookies advice with respect to edibles if it affected you that way. The THC molecule is actually much different when you eat it. This is because it goes through the liver first (right after absorbed) and gets converted vs. when smoked.

That version of THC has anxiety and paranoia hallmarks much more so.

I feel like we lost with gas prices so damn high

Supposedly Belarus was supposed to join the invasion. But too many people in their military (which is a joke and would not have been meaningful) either resigned, objected, or joined the Ukrainians, so they informed Putin that they were not sure whose side their troops would actually fight for, so forget it.

The Russian soldiers don’t have much desire to die for a “special operation” which seems to have no purpose.

This is especially true if they were conscripted (80% of them).

Of course Russian bombs and missiles are flying into buildings, but someone has to march in to the place to occupy it.

I’m still amazed at how confused some people are; even Russian friends of Putin disagree with the failing military adventure.

NATO can afford to supply portable missiles forever, while Russia is losing tanks by the hundred.

In war technology can make the difference; in this one, missiles and mud are doing the job.

Putin has continued in the rich Russian tradition of putting the long suffering Russian people behind the eight ball.

He has sufficient personal money to live in comfort somewhere, but the rest of them are fucked.

FJB says

I disagree. First couple times sure, I think you're right. If you consume frequently it's probably no different than a Xanex. Which I've never taken. That first feeling can be overwhelming.

That includes shit like caffeine. I stopped coffee and soda completely. Still have one occasionally. I legit get the shakes over caffeine consumption. Tread lightly with anything, but edibles are harmless once you find your comfort zone. Not everyone's cup of tea, but once you're used to it, the paranoia goes away. I've consumed nothing today and had a bit a fight with the wife. I'm super chill. It 1,000% helps with my temper. Anecdotal and just me, but even the next day I'm just day I'm more relaxed.

I think you need to get on a regimen of edibles in low doses. I think the problem most get hit with is doing 20-50mgs in one sitting. I'm 5-10mg after 8-9pm. Doesn't mess with my day. Lingers into the next day, but doesn't mess with my functionality. It's been legal here in IL and I've been reluctant for almost 2 years. Wish I had been doing it earlier. I can't stand big pharma and I know the side effects of weed. It's helping me for sure with no damage as far as I know to my body. I'm happier. Still functional.

I do get it's not for everyone though. So not pushing. Just my experience.

Fortwaynemobile says

Our gas prices were high long before the war. And we could bring them back down no matter whether the war continues or not. All we need is to reverse back to Trump's energy policy.

They weren't this high. With Trump in office I was paying 3.50 per gallon, a little over. Its well over 6 per gallon now. There will be loan applications at gas stations soon at this rate. Fucking government we have is ran by self serving fucks. They dont give a shit what a gallon costs, they still have their billions. Its us every day people getting fucked, while they schedule formal calls with Zalenki and send Ukraine billions of our dollars. Money is no object for their geopolitical games. But when it comes to working Americans... no money for that ever. They just want to suck us dry, they don't actually want to give anything back they took. They see our work as their money to tax and spend like drunks at a strip joint. Fuck i hate our government, 2 years of lockdowns, cancel culture, constant humiliation rituals, and all that shit.
