No it is not. But it is highly addictive. I hate to say it, but on this one particular matter Specboi is about right.
Yeah, but that doesn't demonstrate anything. Cannabis sells exceedingly well, better than tobacco in California at least, I'm not sure about the rest of the US. We can not explain its illicit status by merely saying "megacorps can't make a buck off it" because that's obviously false, it should be blindingly obvious that there's profit to be had in marijuana just as in tobacco. As fun as conspiracy theories are, we seem to have every reason to believe that cannabis' illicit status stems from grassroots (heh) social mores rather than any diabolical corporate scheme. -
2015-11-10 at 6 AM UTC in Who are you guys voting for president?Just because she raises special vehemence among a certain group of right wingers (who would never in a million years vote democrat anyway) doesn't mean she's universally reviled. Obama was in the same ship when he ran, two terms later it seems being black isn't such a big deal anymore just like in 8 years we'll see how being a woman is not a death sentence on one's presidential fortunes. She's wiping the floor with sanders, internet popularity won't win you the primaries, and like I said before: the republicans have fucked themselves out of a real chance in the election just like last time. Hillary is your next president.

2015-11-10 at 3:53 AM UTC in Who are you guys voting for president?I'm not going to vote but I just want to point out that Hillary is going to be our next president whether you like it or not. And the funny thing is that you have Trump to thank for it. He's doing the same thing to the GOP primaries as happened in the last presidential race, turning it into a fucking shitshow where everyone's scrambling to win the nomination and radicalizing/making a fool of themselves so whoever comes out on top (not Trump, I'll tell you that much) will be fucked beyond chance of recovery. Meaning it will be handed to whoever secures the democratic nomination. Sanders has internet popularity but it didn't do Paul any good and it's not going to help him. Biden backed out but he was too limpdicked to take the primaries anyway. This leaves Hillary as the last woman standing, she'll win the primaries and the Republicans won't put up a fight in the election, she's got it in the bag. Yall niggas best be afeard, she be coming for your misogynistic microdicks.

2015-11-10 at 3:05 AM UTC in Morrowind vs SkyrimMorrowind is the better game by a mile, skyrim's art directions sucks dick, quests are intolerably unoriginal, and combat ranges between "easy as dicks" and "niggers are spongy so exploit their shit tier pathing while you wait for your CoD heathbar to regen". I mean I played it, I even liked it sometimes because it was pretty, but there wasn't a character I gave a fuck about in the entire game, I had no meaningful choice in anything, the ending was a joke and the whole plot didn't even come close to surprising me once. Dungeon design stepped up a lot from oblivion (and morrowind, but dungeon crawling wasn't a core dynamic for a good reason) but because there's the slightly different puzzles and they were human designed apparently someone felt it was necessary to put you through a niggermillion hours of them to show off. I spent so much time in fucking dusty pussy viking tombs I often forgot there was actually a really pretty, atmospheric world right above my head. Like what about making travel sorta interesting again? Remember in morrowind how you had to stock up on potions or scrolls or whatever whenever you went to the ashlands or beyond the ghost fence? Remember sneaking around daedric ruins because you'd get fucked up if you got too close? Remember in FO3 how the further north you went the more likely you were to get assraped by the wildlife so you actually had to _work_ to get to the top of the map? Those were some of the most fun experiences I had in the game, just navigating when I couldn't blow away any surface dwelling nigga with ease.
Bleh, whatever, I've given up on beth anyway. -

It's because you can't patent a plant which grows naturally. That's the sole reason. Greed and profit. These worthless scumbags figure that if they can't make a fortune off of it, nobody else is going to make off it either. None of those filth give a single warm shit that it is a medicine for people who need it. All these scumbags care about is themselves, and they lie about practically everything. It's that simple.
Tobacco isn't patented either you dumbshit. -
2015-11-10 at 2:43 AM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?
Source
What? "The researchers also found that men require a slightly longer wavelength to see the same hue as women" what the fuck does that even mean? Aside from the obvious issue of determining qualia equivalence across organisms (since you quoted a popsci site I'll save you the time of reading the actual paper and tell you they asked to rate colors on a scale from 1 to 100 in each of the RGBY channels. If you can't see the obvious issue here then you're fucked in the head) we've learned that color differential perception varies between sexes in that very article and thus even lopsided hue perception differentials can be explained by fewer discrete perceivable hues
The second link is even worse than the first. It actually demonstrates my point. Consider that the spectrum of human-visible light is filled by what we call colors. Consider that some animals can see a wider spectrum, we see consider them to be seeing colors (per your childrens article, "Bees and butterflies can see colors that we can't see"). What then do we say of light that exceeds the spectrum visible to any animal? Is it not color? Does it become color when there become animals that can perceive it? Was the ocean not blue before animals with a visual system evolved? Your position is fucking absurd and fails to capture the way in which we use the term color in any sane context. -

I wouldnt expect someone who articulately got thrown in jail for drunkenly throwing a 211 threw someones window because they were "a fag" to give a shit either.
How exactly is one articulately thrown in jail? -

Jesus christ, I think I gave myself alcohol poisoning. I drank/huffed until I blacked out, next day I woke up shitfaced, that night I had an 8 hour panic attack, fell asleep, woke up STILL drunk, couldn't move for half of the day. It's been two days and I'm still affected. Have you ever gotten that drunk? Alcohol is so shit tier.
If you think alcohol is shit you should try huffing starter fluid!
Oh wait... -
2015-11-09 at 3:12 AM UTC in fix this shitYeah, site's broken in a lot of ways, this is a new one though.
How exactly did this happen? Like did you click post? Did you get a message afterwards? Can you give me a time when it happened so I can check the logs? -

2015-11-09 at 2:57 AM UTC in why is the pot illegal? yet drugs like ciggies and alcohol are???~Yeah man, I never thought of it that way before. It's like just a plant, how can you ban a plant? Man thanks for bringing me this new perspective, I've NEVER heard anyone make this devastating point before. It's like sooo hypocritical to ban some drugs but allow others. You should totally point this out to some people who oppose legalization, I'm sure it will make them change their minds.

2015-11-09 at 1:35 AM UTC in Anyway, IDK if ya'll have heard or care but...
Just because its legal doesnt make it right. Also, the situation was wrong aswell, this wasnt a murder, rapist orother "dangerous" criminal that would warrant that.
Just to play devil's advocate, if he really did dive a power cable I don't think it's black and white that it was wrong to shoot. He could have been going for a gun, and even if he wasn't he was destroying evidence. I'm not saying that he should have been shot, personally I don't think he would have represented enough of a flight risk to even bother with kicking in his door, but you can see why someone would think that (clearly a smart guy, hopping the border or something would probably at least occur to him and tech workers can relocate more easily than most). And at the point that you kick in someone's door and they run/jump/whatever it's at least understandable why someone would shoot. -
2015-11-09 at 1:24 AM UTC in ITT: The programming languages you know decide which animu girl you are.Ah, this thing. Gets posted in DPT all the time, different versions too.
The PHP and R ones are cute. I remember a discussion of why C looks that way, the argument was that it's an "elegant language". I'm tempted to say whoever said that hadn't written a lot of C, there's nothing about it that strikes me as particularly elegant. You probably see more elegant things in C than you do in Java in terms of fancy data structures and deep pointer magicks but then it was kind of java's mission statement to be more blue collar than that, you're deliberately blinded to the elegance of the implementation. -
2015-11-07 at 8:35 PM UTC in Never ever make a mission statementLol, "overly negative" coming from spectroll, the guy who's cried endless rivers at every admin who ever slapped a site over people being "totse traitors". Nigga, you spend what is, as far as I can tell, the entirety of your online existence being negative over shit. Even if you have to fabricate things to be mad about.

2015-11-07 at 5:43 PM UTC in Anyway, IDK if ya'll have heard or care but...I have a hard time working up any real hate for patreon. Sure, dumb talentless hacks can attention whore their way into sustenance but that's just the idiocy of donors. And sure, they shaft people who say the wrong things about the wrong subjects you if you think a private business has a responsibility to be fair, likely at significant cost, then you might be a socialist.
Yes hack because it wasn't a debug version of th site that's not true. They had a python app with a debugging application that was accesible from the internet through which they got access to everything including 2+ million users data. And yeah he ran cockli and he was really shot.
Wait, so like they left rdb on in production or something? -
2015-11-06 at 8:11 AM UTC in Nootropics + tDCS: Testing ideas are needed.There's some conflicting but generally positive evidence that piracetam and co have an observable positive effect in people with cognitive impairment. There's a sea of anecdotes about its efficacy in healthy adults but as far as I'm aware there's no clinical evidence one way or the other. As for the DIY electroshock therapy, I don't know anything more than the first paragraph of a wikipedia article but I'm _highly_ skeptical of consumer electronics that claim to exercise action at distance through a human skull.
