As an aside from the nutcase you responded to, this got me thinking, we generally put political ideals on a spectrum going from communism to socialism to fascism (in an extremely oversimplified example.)

This has got to be more of a field than a spectrum, right? Do you or anyone reading this have resources to better illustrate the differences?

These are all good points. We should also be vigilant, as you highlight, but especially because of the lower court appointees, board of election positions, and others that have been packed with bad faith actors preparing for this moment. It's McConnell's last hurrah.

I'm over 40, have ADD, have extensive experience, and am grieving two close friends who died of fent in their coke in the last few weeks. You'll likely conclude the same thing I did, that it's way overpriced and you need a whole lot more to get the dopamine dump that makes it worthwhile.

You asked, I answered. Knock yourself out (but please, test your shit. Fent strips are cheap and often free. Check with dancesafe.org or others for best practices on testing. I'm not worrying about you, but I'm sure you have people in your lives that love you dearly, and I hope they never go through what I'm going through right now.)

Because of that? It'd be a lot cheaper and much much safer to get a prescription for ADHD medication. You're not missing anything.

Best case scenario, what can we hope for?

Forgive my cynicism, but even if they get caught for egregiousness, I can't imagine they won't just get a "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist. I can only hope I'm wrong.

Betsy DeVos is the sister of Erik Prince who founded Blackwater, the controversial mercenary group, for those that didn't know. She vehemently suppressed anything that would benefit public education and funneled public funds to private education while she was Secretary Of Education.

As I understand it, shit, piss, and fuck were common words in Old English. When the French-speaking Normans invaded the Anglo-Saxons, they made the people and their language lower class, crude and dirty. Defecate, urinate, and fornicate were substituted as the proper way to speak. This was a way to continue oppressing a conquered and occupied group of people. These views have persisted for hundreds of years and been adopted by various groups over time. Something to consider when you find yourself viewing the words others use as crude.

Based on this history, you might also see why saying "pardon my French" is ironic as fuck.

Not a chance. We'll pay them to develop the product they'll then sell back to us. Yay!

Have they tried holding down the handle until it's done flushing?
