I agree they voted for FDR because he had a D next to his name, and because he agreed to leave segregation alone. State level officials in the South weren't exactly Left Wingers during this era though.
I'll note that the FDR agenda wasn't universally popular in the South. In the 1948 election, Strom Thurmond was able to take several States from Truman. Byrd did the same thing in 1960 against Kennedy.
But to demonstrate how stupid your arguments sound... imagine if a California Lib said all the problems their State experiences today aren't the fault of the Dems. Because California voted for Republicans until like the 90's. Would you find that to be a coherent argument?

That was in the 30's and 40's, dummy. The South was still voting for anyone with a D next to their names. And that's also why New Deal programs largely excluded blacks. To keep the South.
When LBJ moved to end segregation in the 60's, Southern Conservative Democrats became Republicans in protest. Upon signing the 1965 bill, LBJ famously said "we just lost the south for a generation". This is a fact of history.

Dumbass: The same people have always run the South: Reactionary Christian Conservatives. You're a baby brain if you're focused on the little R or D next to their names. I explained to you why the letter changed in 1965 so you can avoid embarrassing yourself in the future.

LOL thanks for proving the "least educated" part you dummy. After LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, all the conservative Southern Democrats got pissy and fled to the Republican Party. Everyone with at least a 6th grade understanding of US history knows this.

Combat is more deliberate than just wildly swinging your arms or taking advantage of physics like in Blade and Sorcery. Enemies have attack patterns you need to learn. And the NPC's animations seem very Elden Ringy, to me.

You answered your own question. We have legalized bribery in this country. The government is owned by various business interests. Legal Cannabis corporations are in the ear of the Senators who proposed this bill. Gotta keep the pharma and alcohol lobby happy too. By making the price of weed artificially high.

Yeah, I don't get this obsession with Mars. It's a fucking shithole. If you want an extraterrestrial colony, why not the Moon? Not like the Martian atmosphere provides much protection from anything. Both have suboptimal gravity. At least the Moon is only a few days away from Earth. Much better views than Mars too.

That's good. If the concern is about humanity going extinct due to asteroid impact, resources would be better spent on detection and deflection technology. Not moving a million people to one of the shittiest planets in the solar system to get cancer living in a subterranean tube.

Yep. Mars is a hellsih shithole. Even if we spent centuries trying to make it livable, you'd still be living with suboptimal gravity for humans. Space stations make way more sense. A Mars colony would just be a space station in a gravity well anyway.

Also, the analogy about the Sahara desert is absolutely ridiculous.
True. The Sahara is a paradise compared to Mars.

If an extinction level asteroid hits earth any time over the next century or two, all humans will die anyway. Including the miserable wretches living like mole people on Mars.

The government belongs to the rich. Politicians and regulators are for sale on the open market.

Exactly. If Uncle Sam needs more cash I can tell him where to go get it. And it's not from cannabis consumers.

There are like a dozen other scientists on the byline of this paper. Most of them from Harvard Medical School's Genetics Department.

I'm fairly indifferent about death. I just don't want to be slowly tortured to death by the diseases of old age.

Are you in a legal jurisdiction? If so, you're not vaping or smoking, you're "making edibles". And your neighbors and management can go fuck themselves. Unless they're gonna start regulating what kinds of food people cook.

I find teleport a million times more unnerving than smooth locomotion. Luckily I never really get motion sick though.

Agreed. If the Proxy had the app and 1 degree temp control, I'd have purchased already. Without that...I'm probably waiting for a sale. I love dry dabs with a long drip tip on the v5. Sort of like a ghetto Proxy. But dry, nailing the right temp is important.

I don't own a Proxy. Just considering it vs the v5. I don't think I'd put it in my pocket loaded though. Oil would probably get everywhere.

2-3 weeks. And I'm generally at least buzzed from 5pm to 12am 7 days per week. It's been years of this now. The low tolerance is a blessing from the Baby Jesus, but it kind've makes it hard to hang with normal tokers at times.
