Leading a one woman branch of the Erisian Liberation Front! In love with almost everything all the time.
It’s still kinda surreal here. Multiple people I work with have been arrested for possession, and it’s understood that the majority of experienced users have broken the same laws in similar ways in the past. Some people don’t trust any of it and insist on being furtive. Product has to, by law, leave the building in specific packaging. Some people are scared by the big mylar bag that fits the requirements hate that they can’t stash a disposable vape up their ass in their sleeve or pocket. We jump through all the hoops so they don’t shut us down. Adoption rates and demographics are weird too. I sell to a bunch of, let’s say difficult, old conservatives. They tend to avoid me when they can… But also a ton of just older folks in general. I love teaching old ladies who really want to learn about weed. And that was instant with recreational legalization. A year ago I was ordering weed on the darkweb and getting by on alt cannabinoids. Everyone I worked with were stoners (my old job at a cheap motel) but it wasn’t safe to discuss or assume in general. Feeling out who at work might also use weed was a way of life eight months ago. Now people who don’t respond well to opiods are being sent to us by their doctors. It’s strange, but it’s great.
Except almost none of them did. You’re suggesting going back to having next to zero food delivery options in a world that continues to see COVID spikes and could have future localized lockdowns. I also think this overlooks how much of a QoL increase these services are for people with limited transportation options or mobility problems or other health issues making it hard for them to get out of the house. These services are more than just conveniences to them. They are massive upgrades to their lives.
It’s a profitable service, like the post office was before they were sabotaged with pension requirements. Users would still be the ones paying, but a greater portion of the profits could go to the workers, and the remainder would go to public projects and other government expenses. That would be preferable to the services being used to continue drawing wealth and power from the working classes to the already wealthy and powerful. The only time it might end up subsidized is if it had to be commandeered for a public use purpose like delivery of food and living essentials during a disease outbreak.
I see plenty of content on both. Idk what’s up for you.
Plenty of the rules are “don’t do this objectively harmless thing”
Plenty of the rulez are “do this ridiculously pointless thing”
Most declarations of what religions do and don’t don’t do miss Discordianism pretty hard, but you got us on those.
Exhibits: A) Don’t eat hotdog buns. B) Go off alone on a Friday and eat a hotdog with a bun.
Good looking out for us religious minorities.
Their souls contain metaphysical aspects of both masculine and feminine tradition. They may contain an entire soul of both genders. None of these things are external. There is no separate or outside entity. All of the soul within them is them. Anything more specific requires knowing the person and their culture. Don’t worry about mapping it onto your worldview. Just accept it within theirs.
That’s an offensive way to refer to someone’s religious and cultural experiences. Being two spirit is a gnostic spiritual experience that is both current and real. Calling it a myth isn’t acceptance. It’s judgement, the imposing of your frame of reference on their lived experience.
