Wrong user

Perfide ,

You said they admitted to NEVER using anything but GIMP. Your gotcha screenshot screenshot you're spamming literally proves otherwise. It was the user at the top of this comment chain that never used anything but GIMP, not the one you've been replying to.

Perfide ,

Personal experience. Delta-8 does literally nothing to me.

Perfide ,

Not really, no. It can have tiny, tiny percentages of Delta 9. Anything more than, iirc, 0.3% Delta 9 thc is considered full blown cannabis and is still federally illegal.

For comparison, the thc carts I vape are between 80-90% Delta 9 thc. But I live in a legal state.

Perfide ,

80-90 percent of what?

...80-90 percent of Delta 9 thc. Literally what are you confused about? The size of the cart has nothing to do with how potent the actual thc concentration is.

I buy 1g carts, which means there is .8-.9g of delta 9 thc in them. The 3g carts you showed in another comment legally cannot be more than 0.3% delta 9 thc, which means at MOST they contain .009g of delta 9 thc, 100 times less than what I can get in a single gram from a actual dispensary cart. That's about how much I can get in a couple hits, let alone the whole cart 🤣.

Perfide , (edited )

Sooo your source is a sketchy website with a quote claiming they can be "functionally identical"(whatever that even actually means), but without any actual lab testing of the thc concentrations to back that up. Oh, and the article specifically mentions how these are at best questionably legal to sell, and the fda has actively warned against them.

Also, edibles are a completely different story than concentrates. You can pack a bunch of delta 9 in and still be compliant because the actual food aspect of the edible counts towards the total concentration. 15mg of delta 9 thc in a 5g piece of chocolate is no big deal. For a single "farm bill compliant" vape cart to have the same amount(by weight) of delta 9 thc in it as my 1g dispensary cart, though, it would have to be oh... about 10 ounces(edited to correct, originally said pounds) of other junk.

Good stuff.

Perfide , (edited )

the carts I showed have that many mg of delta 9 suspended in the liquid.

No, they literally do not. Literally all of them have lab results on their websites. The first one had about 9mg/g, the second one about 1.4mg/g, and the last had none at all. Also, even counting delta 8 thc they were all still only in the 70-80% range. Regardless of whether the first two are legal or not(I have a feeling they're not and enforcement is just weak), even the stronger one is only a 10th of what I get for the same price. And I live in one of the most expensive legal states by far. Just get normal weed from a dealer at that point if you're in an illegal state, it'll be stronger.

Perfide ,

Ah, devolving to petty insults when you have no counter arguments left. A tale as old as time.

Perfide ,

Lmao "no insults here" immediately followed by more petty insults, okay bud. Love how you were all gung-ho about how primo your shit is and has "3g of delta 9" until I pull out the receipts and suddenly it's all "well it's good enough for me", and "who cares about testing their drugs"(people who aren't fucking stupid?), and "well you're just a junkie"(really, no insults here? Ok lmao). Newsflash my guy, there's nothing special about the carts I buy, nor is my tolerance particularly high. That's just how strong actual concentrates are supposed to be, so you only need a hit or two at a time.

Your stuff is just literally weaker than ditch weed. Congrats if that gets you high, but it doesn't change the fact you were spreading mad misinformation before and are salty I called you out about it.

Perfide ,

The neat thing about black holes is the process would be both instantaneous and take literally eternity, depending on one's perspective.

I'm Canadian and have absolutely no dog in this fight.

Then kindly shut the fuck up. I'm an American, I've ACTUALLY had to live in this country with Trump and Biden as president, and it's no contest for me. I'd take Biden at his worst over Trump any day. That doesn't mean Biden is good, it means Trump is just that fucking bad.

Perfide ,

That's... literally the exact opposite of what they said.

Perfide ,

Third party candidates and parties exist. They don’t suddenly cease to exist simply because the 2 right-wing parties we’ve had forced upon us have gone out of their way to prevent them from participating.

Ah yes, the great and amazing third parties of the US. In this corner we've got the Libertarians, aka the "republicans that like weed and dislike age of consent laws" party, and in the other corner we have the Green Party, aka the "pops up every election year to complain how both sides are bad, before promptly returning to the ether upon the elections conclusion" party.

Such good options, I truly don't know why anyone wouldn't want to vote for one of those two. /s

Perfide ,

Okay then.

Explain that to a diabetic child when Trump gets rid of the insulin price cap that enables their parents to afford it.

Explain that to a trans person who, if the republicans gets their way, will be considered a sexual predator and imprisoned(at best...) for simply existing in public.

Explain that to a woman forced to carry her rapists baby to term when, if Trump gets his way, abortion is federally criminalized. Scratch that, explain that to a child forced to die from their ectopic pregnancy.

Explain that to Ukraine when we stop supporting them against Russia... hell, explain that to Ukraine when we end up supporting Russia against Ukraine.

Explain that to EVERYONE when Trump's "I'll be a dictator, but only on day 1" comment becomes a reality and doesn't stop after day 1.

I could go on.

By all means, continue to delude yourself into believing you are making the just and moral decision. It won't stop anyone else from seeing that your morals are entirely performative.

Pretty sure you can get an NACS adapter now, but otherwise non Tesla vehicles pre-equiped with a NACS port are due to arrive next year.

There is some truth to it, but there's also just the fact that some people's eyes are bad enough that they need glasses to fully function in modern society, but not so bad that they couldn't survive in the wild without them.

Me for example. I need glasses to drive, I can't read street signs otherwise, and I need them at work, but I otherwise usually don't wear them. The only thing better eyesight would meaningfully help me with in the wild is navigation and spotting hidden animals quicker, and even then it'd really only help with snakes. Any other ambush predator I'd be likely to encounter in my region is big enough that spotting it a few seconds sooner wouldn't really help.

Flip the script around, and what this tells us is that within the very narrow path of totality, 30 gigawatts of solar power is produced within minutes. That's a decent amount of power, very quickly, for basically free. Plus all the other solar power still being produced outside the area in totality.

Gets even more ridiculous when you factor in all the solar power that will be produced within just that same path by time the next eclipse hits us in 20 years. If a couple minutes of losing sunlight is 30 gigawatts, 20 years of having sunlight is multiple millions of gigawatts produced. I think we can just scrape the lost 30 off the top of those millions and call it good.

Which is besides the point because Greed is already one of the deadly sins in it's own right.

Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.

Yes, they did, and he kept refusing to do so, as was his right even if it made him look sus as fuck, especially since his excuse was the lie about being under audit. Only once he was under investigation for fucking fraud were his tax returns actually released, as evidence in the investigations.

Perfide ,

Bro forgot to add his uncertainty tho

HIS uncertainty? Your method results in uncertainty. This guy counted each piece individually, as one should.

When has banning porn ever been profitable? Look at tumblr.

I'm not surprised it happened, but a little surprised how quickly it happened. Most insurance companies still offer a plan where you voluntarily plug in a tracker to monitor your driving in exchange for lower rates if you're a good driver, so it's extra fucked that they're doing the same thing to presumably everyone with an internet connected car without even telling them upfront, let alone getting consent.

That's their point, hence "save scumming".

Samsung messages app also supports RCS, depending on your carrier, though? It's super fucking buggy and frequently switches back to sms so I still switched to Google messages, but it does technically have it.

Perfide ,

MMS doesn't have much bandwidth available and it'll just compress instead of failing to send, so even android to android if you send a long enough HD video the recipient will get compressed garbage. Then, of course, there's the fact any videos sent over MMS from android to an iPhone(and vice versa iirc) becomes compressed garbage no matter how long or HD the video was, but that's more Apple's fault than MMS directly.

Perfide ,

He should've just looked after himself... I'm guessing the app would've punished him

Unfortunately, that is a possibility. I used to doordash, canceling an order before you pick up the food is NBD, but canceling after you have picked it up is likely at least a strike against the dashers account.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

8 of these if a Dollar general counts as a grocery store, otherwise 7.

Just in the last week or so Swift sent a cease and desist to the kid tracking her and other celebrities jets, aka already publicly available information. Just like when Elon tried to stop him, by trying to stop him she has Streisand effected the situation.

If and when Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, or Steven Spielberg send their own cease and desist, then we can start making jet memes about them, too. Until then, they've got other shitty things we can bring up. Cruise is a cultist, Jim Carrey is/was an anti-vaxxer, and Spielberg... actually, I can't think of anything else for him, let the Spielberg jet memes commence I guess.

Perfide ,

The fact humans are able to track them is how we know the zodiacs are no longer accurate. According to astrology if you were born on Dec. 1 for example, you're considered a Sagittarius... except you're ACTUALLY a Scorpio, due to the constellations shifting.

Perfide ,

Only half of the Zodiacs are inspired from real animals. Gemini is two humans, Virgo is a virgin woman, Libra is a Weighing Scale, Sagittarius is a Centaur with a bow, Capricorn is a Sea Goat, and Aquarius is... a cup of water, I guess?

More importantly, why does the hardness of doing a thing give you special status to make claims without proof?

It doesn't. But, "God doesn't exist" is not a claim, it is a counter-claim to the claim "God exists". The very concept of a higher power didn't even exist until people started claiming without evidence that it did exist, and it's been many branching games of telephone of that original unproven claim since then that has resulted in basically every major religion.

The counter-claim of "God doesn't exist" needs no proof beause it is countering a claim that also has no proof. If and when the original multiple millenium old claim of "God exists" actually has some proof to back it up, then the counter-claim would need to either have actual proof as well to support it, or debunk the "evidence" if possible. But again, the original claim is literally thousands of years old and still has absolute bupkis to prove it, so... I'm not too worried.

ETA:

The universe is massive. There are teapots here. Why is it not plausible to believe some other alien race would not also construct some kind of teapot? Also, consider the fact that all teapots here on earth are literally teapots in "outerspace" in some sense.

The other person you replied to worded this bit poorly. The original analogy is trying to convince people on Earth to believe that there is a teapot(which is too small to see with a telescope) orbiting the Sun independently somewhere in between Earth's and Mars' orbits. It's completely illogical to believe seeing as humans haven't sent anything without scientific value beyond maybe the moon, and there's no evidence aliens have visited our solar system let alone left a teapot in orbit. But since it can't be proven there isn't a teapot orbiting by itself, does that mean you should believe there is? No, of course not.

Perfide ,

"God doesn't exist" is surely a statement right? If I tell you "god doesn't exist" (in response or not to something you've said), this feels like I am claiming the statement "god doesn't exist" is true.

This ties into the part you absolutely agreed with. The word "God" as it is defined now would not exist without the original unproven claims that God. Even if you're not responding "God doesn't exist" directly to someone who said "God exists", you are if nothing else still responding to the original millennia old claim that they do exist. For that reason, it is always a counter-claim.

As for what makes counter-claims different from regular claims, it's simply that the burden of proof lies first with the original claim. A counter-claim has no responsibility to prove their claim until such time as the original claim presents evidence supporting itself.

I don't think we need proof to reject a claim like "god exists". There's no real good evidence for it and all attempts at proofs of this in the history of the philosophy of religion have been analyzed and critiqued to death in some pretty convincing ways.

I absolutely agree. That was kinda my point. If the claim ever did get some actually noteworthy evidence, then it would certainly need to be properly proven or disproven... but I don't think that will ever happen.

So, for example if you tell me tax code says X, that is not a proof of what tax code says. It would make sense for me to not outright believe you (since we are strangers), but you could be telling the truth, so it seems equally silly for me to immediately jump to believing tax code doesn't say X too.

The problem with that is I at least in theory could have looked up the tax code, remembered it, and then told you it correctly. Sure, I could have lied or remembered wrong, but it was 100% within my capacity to give you the accurate information, and even show you where I got the information from. With a claim about God's existence, that's impossible for either side of the debate as far as we know, and since the original claim was "God exists", that side is, possibly forever, stuck holding the burden of proof.

Perfide ,

It seems like a silly double standard for only one side to have a burden to prove their claim, but the other gets to claim the negation is true with no burden of proof.

Why is it silly that the claim originally presented should have to present evidence first? The counter-claim only has zero burden of proof so long as the original claim has failed to give any proof of their own.

For example, if you say "2+2 is 4" and my response is "NO IT IS NOT. IT IS 3! I REFUSE TO PROVE IT THOUGH", not only will I be wrong in a classical arithmetic sense but I have presented no argument for why you ought to believe my new counter claim to your original claim. It would make no sense to believe me without more info in such a case.

You wouldn't have to present an argument yet, at that stage. I'd think you're really dumb for needing something like that proven to you, but the initial burden of proof would still be on me. However, when I quickly and easily provide proof that 2 + 2 does equal 4, THEN the burden of proof falls to you to prove your counter-claim.

There's nothing awkward about it at all, nobody deserves to be bodyshamed, period. Yes, being overweight is unhealthy. The vast, vast majority of overweight people know this. The only thing you accomplish by expressing your concerns and "acknowledging it's bad" unprompted is making the person feel worse, they're not gonna go "Wow, li10 is concerned about my weight, this was the moment I was waiting for to start being healthier". This isn't a hallmark movie, it rarely works like that.

If an overweight person expresses a desire to lose weight and be healthier, absolutely encourage and support that... but support looks like things like offering to be a gym buddy,sharing healthy recipes, words of encouragement as they progress, maybe even joining them on their diet, etc... and even then only if they've expressed a desire for that support. Telling them unprompted "I'm concerned about your health due to your weight" is NOT support, it's nothing but an empty platitude.

Oh no, it's so much worse. This is a BRAND NAME, FCK NZS is a company that sells "antifascist" clothing and accessories. Capitalism has successfully commodified antifa.

Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be picking domains based on stuff like "hehe it says queer as fuck lul"? What did they expect to happen picking Afghanistan of all places for the domain of an LGBT instance?
