At the time of your post at least 38 people were too stupid to get it. But, you’ve a few brain cells to rub together. Now, pickup The Conquest of Bread. If you’ve questions about the reading feel free to PM me.

That’s what we do with trash. But, some of the bits down at the bottom seem like they can be recycled.

I’m way ahead of you. I don’t vote for politicians that accept corporate money, be it foreign or domestic.

Enjoy your prosecutor.

Because that disturbs the comfort of a complacent society. Nothing about the US judicial and prison system is humane.

He’s just doing normal cop stuff. Now, let’s elect a prosecutor.

Gun owner here.

1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded - Followed
2. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy - Violated
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to shoot - Violated
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it - Violated

This shooter violated three of the four fundamental gun safety rules. That’s not an accident. It’s attempted murder.

By numbers, one third will advocate. One third will do nothing. One third will object. About ten percent will sacrifice to lead the rest. We could argue with history. But, that’d be dumb.

Our collective situation may have become so dire that We the People may realize we’ve far more power than what we express at the ballot box.

Probably not yet. But, possibly soon.

Voting as a block, the six rightwing justices who wield the supermajority threw out the supreme court’s own 1984 opinion in Chevron USA Inc v Natural Resources Defense Council, which has required the courts to defer to the knowledge of government experts in their reasonable interpretation of ambiguous laws.

The NRLB’s complaint against Amazon “should be dismissed because the General Counsel’s interpretation of the Act and requests to the National Labor Relations Board in this case implicates the Major Questions Doctrine and associated principles of non-delegation and therefore violate Article I of the United States Constitution,” Amazon’s attorneys wrote in their response, a copy of which was obtained by the Guardian.

The NLRB complaint “should be dismissed”, they added, because the agency’s procedures “violate Article II of the United States Constitution” by involving “the exercise of significant authority by an Officer of the United States who is improperly insulated from the President’s removal power”.

We’ll have a king. No politician can save you, even if they wanted to.

He’s mad as hell and he’s not going to take this anymore.

There are many news segments with high degree of truth. Each and every journalist that makes a such a stand risks their career and often their life and the lives of their family to bring us the truth.

I’d never really thought about a journalist as a human being before I watched the movie Network (1976): Howard Beale, a prominent newscaster, perceives that he’s nothing to lose. Harrison’s Flowers (2000) does a great job depicting the risks associated with reporting a war and likely is the reason Adrien Brody was cast in The Pianist.

I went back out with my flashlight and saw the same hundreds of eyes. Fucking gators.

Sober, at night, in the desert: Hundreds of eyes, like stars in the sky. Fucking spiders.

Mushrooms can give you a pretty bad trip as well,

I agree.

at least it doesn’t last as long as acid.

Also, one can also mitigate the effects with induced vomiting, alcohol, or sleep. A batch of shrooms never has byproducts or laced drugs. If they’re particularly strong then grind them up, weigh doses, and encapsulate.

I took my last dose of LSD more than twenty years ago. Everyone shouldn’t choose as I do because they’re not me. My only intent is people make wiser choices.

My advice for either one is make sure you have people around that you love and trust - being alone or being with strangers can be bad news.

Far more important than squabbles over which one is better to start with. I was an adolescent that took what was in front of me while back of car camping with friends, a few acting as babysitters.

If you had relatively clean LSD and mushrooms, both of which you’d sampled, which would you recommend the hypothetical beginner I’d addressed?

If it’s LSD then something’s fucked in your supply or you’re a unique personality that doesn’t realize they’re different from the vast majority of others in some fundamental way.

I can definitely understand how some people would prefer LSD afterwards, with experience. I’d advise that person that long term LSD usage, even microdosing for performance enhancement, will definitely have permanent effects upon their psyche. Maybe good, maybe bad. Future them will decide.

Listen up, buster, I don’t recommend hardcore psychedelics the curious beginner. Neither should you. Start with mushrooms. Easier access anyhow.

For example, a hypothetical, in low light the LSD has synapses firing so fast that one is very aware of every presence around them. But, everyone is a shadowy monster with glowing eyes. The color of their eye glow indicates their instentaneous level of hostility.

The distortion of perception brings the subconscious to awareness. This is why hallucinogenics can sometimes be therapeutic. But, as the dose increases, so does the effect of the subconscious. Take too much and the perceptions no longer have much basis in reality.

If anyone’s reading this and curious, don’t take LSD. There’s no escape from a bad trip. Try mushrooms instead. I keep a little around for when my head can’t reason out what the fuck my heart and ego are choosing.

Yes. But, I’m sure the visuals didn’t help.

I wish he’d take some more LSD. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll turn into a humanitarian.

That’s not an argument. It’s a statement. Is your bar really that low or are you still just trying to fight?

I won’t fight with you. I know too much about you. We’ve spoken personally on three accounts.

I made no argument for a test. I answered your direct question as to how it could be done fairly.

Reading and comprehension is prerequisite to a good faith response. You skipped half a post then needed to be told twice to read it. It’s not my responsibility to coddle you into good faith. I delivered content well within your capacity to understand.

I accept no responsibility for your error. The input was far better than what you usually receive. You just wanted to fight with someone and I was next in line. You’re a public figure. We all know your MO.

Why would I involuntarily defend a position I do not hold because some idiot can’t be bothered to use the reading comprehension and social skills I know they have?

please do explain how asking you how this test would be automated and objective is a straw man

Because I don’t believe in a test. I’ve told you twice. But, you’re uncharacteristically being a jackass, now even after you’ve slept on it.

I’ll make it about you because you’re a valuable member of the community whom I respect, and who’s seemingly not meeting their own standards of behavior (based on the past). If you don’t like it, block. I’m pretty close.
