  • Maybe, but it does say “Trump loving”, not Trump voting. I acknowledge and don’t hold too hard a grudge on people who don’t pay much attention and only vote on stuff they think will affect them. I still consider it selfish, but I will acknowledge some people have enough issues in their life to not realize how bad it could affect others.

    For instance, one of my sisters friends voted for Trump in 2016 because she is a small business owner and thought he would be better for her business. I don’t know how she has voted since, and she’s a black mother in FL, so I hope she’s changed her mind.

    Still, I have seen people make excuses for themselves that they have to be responsible for their employees as well etc etc, so someone with a not hateful mindset may make a decision those of us more informed or plugged into may realize is much worse for them either way.

    Edit, forgot my original point. The above included I don’t think would be considered “Trump loving”, so I think by that statement she’s saying he loves more than just a policy or two.


  • I think it isn’t illegal if it can’t grow a plant, so if heated or ground. You can buy ground hempseed, and i think i have some downstairs. Still, imports and such are much trickier, which is probably why they don’t use it for exports. Also other countries may have stricter imports, and perhaps the company doesn’t want the headache of verifying which market to send which product to.

    It’s similar to how most companies just conform to Californian restrictions rather than make different products for different states in the US.





  • In IT, and have been since 99. I cared more about porn(adware, viruses, etc used to be more frequent on them) than other groups I expected to caresometimes. A regional managers laptop was acting slow, so sent back to us. During cleanup I found porn among other issues, and reported it to their manager. The response was basically:

    “How much longer before you can return the laptop to them?” They just wanted em up and running again. Now at an MSP, and we’ve found porn on fileservers, often time by the owners of the company.



  • Nah, you see stuff like this because it’s counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don’t attend things I don’t want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

    Still, a comic that’s just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn’t going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you’ll see stuff like this more. It isn’t a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it’s just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don’t feel as noticed or understood in their real life.




  • Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he’d shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he’d be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It’s important to know that he’s worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:

    In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] … In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn’s Wharton School.[34][35]

    Edit: also, as far as I can tell, still performing heart surgeries, so should still be licensed. Still a piece of shit who should stick to surgeries. Lots of people good at 1 thing think they’re geniuses at everything.

    I don’t have a good technique, just q similar event. A friend of a friend remembered my somewhat complicated and hard to pronounce name, and pronounced it correctly. I forgot his name. So I thought up something clever. We traded numbers and I asked him to spell his name for me. Genius Chat, Genius!

    He looks at me a little confused and spells his name for me: A, C, E.
