It has little to do with the "profession" and more to do with the distribution of goods. If everyone owned rental properties, nobody would live in these rental properties, meaning for lords to exist there must be serfs.

 

Does anyone else deal with initial load times that take forever? Once it logs me in it seems to be a bit snappier, but half the time the request times out.

I figured the issue was with my instance, but I can access it via web browser with no hiccups. Usually a refresh or two fixes it so it isn't much of a problem, but I'm mainly posting as a sanity check I guess.

Why not an epub reader? Is there some functionality these websites have that isn't just providing the text?

[–] srasmus@midwest.social 13 points 3 months ago

No, but that news is seriously discouraging.

Yes, unfortunately. Everything here is delta 8 or delta 9. I've even heard someone pissing hot from cbd. I guess if you take it enough, the trace thc can build up.

Technically yes, realistically no. I'd rather be a force for change here. It's a wonderful place, despite our backwards politicians.

I have spent way too much time getting my hopes up for things to change here. Appreciate the company. May the day come for us both sooner than we think. 🍃

 

I currently live in one of the few illegal states in the US. There is a "dispensary" a block away from my house where you can buy something that looks, smells, and makes you feel the same way regular weed does.

I'm also currently contracted at a company that hires DOT employees, so they implement random drug testing for everyone. I work a very technical desk job, and an occasional bowl was the best way to rest my brain after work.

So, if I walk up the street and purchase a bag of hemp and smoke it, I could lose my job.

OR I can walk a bit further and get black out drunk at a bar, and call out of work the next day (something I have done before).

What's fucked is the tests also cover alcohol, but being hung over isn't against the rules, even if I'm far more impaired than if I smoked a bowl a week ago.

Not sure why I posted this, can probably remove it. Just feel the need to vent I suppose.

Just got the redesign today. Somehow found a way to make more cluttered, less easy to understand, and more ambiguous. Seriously, the difference between "read" and "sent" is a half shade of color and a razor thin outline. It's hard to imagine Google was once a leader in the UX space.

I can't believe this isn't an onion article.
