If you haven't already, follow Jeff Jackson while he's still in his position. He tells it how it is and gives inside info on why they make these futile plays

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!

That's redundant

I just told my wife Mint was shutting down and she gasped, frozen in shock. I was thinking she was taking it really hard. Took me a minute before I realized she thought I was talking about our favorite Indian restaurant.

Weird take. When was the last time you came across a dog that had been bitten by a snake? This is just a heartwarming story, and your takeaway is that most people suck? Most people don't find themselves in this situation

Appalachian Mountain Brewery.

They paved the way for new breweries in a little mountain town in western North Carolina. They consistently gave significant percentages to charities, often local. They built a recognized brand and then sold to Anheuser Busch InBev. AB InBev helped them reach new craft beer drinkers with a huge corporate backing. The business ran the same as far as a local consumer could tell. They got a lot of new insight and opportunities.

And then two of the original founders bought it back from AB InBev. First time that's ever happened. Really great guys too. Very happy to continue to see their journey.

Pun aside, this I've done. I could even hear the worms chewing during especially quiet moments. We put cherry slabs under clear plastic in the sun, then peeled the bark and smashed the larva with mallets. Not sure why my boss didn't want to use borax.

The invasion of Afghanistan saw a (iirc) 900% increase in poppy production. This was after reports of how they would work with farmers to reduce production.

Drug control isn't about suppression; it's about control. The opium wars emphasize that. Look at the countries that banned it, but then turned around and produced/bought and sold it to other countries for profit and societal destabilization.

If you're getting bailed out right away, there's no point in booking you into general population and providing you with clothes. There's no double standard here; they are just getting processed and released.
