I believe the reference was not to the word ‘white’, though to the term ‘white power’, which has been established as a phrase of those who ascribe to the idea of white supremacy.
Seems to me he was calling him a nazi.

Hope this clears things.

That’s crazy! I hope the sales from the McDonalds branches, in Vietnam, are at least contributing to the country in a meaningful way through taxes etc.
(I don’t know about that sort of thing, I just hope the huge difference in price at least has some benefit to locals).

McDonalds here in London is comical. I’m not even near the inner city (Greater London) and I’m surprised they get business these days.

The last time I wanted a burger I checked, and a meal was going for around £11+
I walked for five minutes and found a local place, paid about £7-8 for a proper good burger meal with better quality ingredients… They even asked me what kind of bun I wanted (went with brioche).

The meat wasn’t as thin as a pencil either.

People online don’t always seem to realise that the Daily Mail is considered THE worst newspaper publication, in the entire UK. It’s the sort of thing you wouldn’t pick up to line your floor for a new dog.

I mean, my grandfather would probably have said they deserved worse.

Okay Uncle Snoop.

I wasn’t into them, they had a style that wasn’t my thing for some reason I forget, however two things were crazy about that time:\

1. Understandably the band was insanely popular, with their band logo graffiti’d practically everywhere, people wearing their shirts, etc.\
2. How quickly everything got taken down.

It was like the verdict came out, and within a week there was absolutely no sign of the band existing.

Some years ago some medication I was on put me at risk for diabetes (not an issue now), and my Dr. at the time mentioned the benefit of fruit, however I never really asked them to elaborate.
Thanks for that explanation, it makes a lot of sense the way you’ve described the function. You learn something new everyday!

I’ve started using Dutch in 3 Months, by Hugo. Ignoring the timeframe the title gives, it seems decent because it has an app alongside it for hearing the pronunciations of each word, so you learn to speak and read essentially at the same time.

I got my book online.

Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.

It’s quite satisfying. I grew a very colourful cultivar this time around, and I’m sampling it right now (Blood Diamonds 2.0).

Once you have things dialed in, environment wise, there is great benefit in being able to choose genetics (be wise to find reputable breeders however, and steer clear of white label seeds as well).
There are just so many flavours and variations people growing for an illegal market do not have the patience for. I mean I had to push these until 11 weeks in flower until they were ripe enough to chop! Well worth it though, and I recommend anyone in the position to try it to give growing a shot.

If you are not in a position to do it properly, it’s not worth doing over just buying weed.

It’s not just about yield, even if you’re comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.

The CFLs don’t have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you’ll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you’re trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.

Airflow being important if you don’t want mold.

Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it’s worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.

Depends on the style I’m going for, when my depression isn’t an issue anyway.

In recent years, every month or every 2-3 weeks if I want to appear more groomed. I’ll be getting another mohawk (I used to be a fan of them) this year, which would require shaving the sides every two days.

When I was a young teenager, I turned on the telly to Nickelodeon and they were showing an episode of Ren & Stimpy.
The scene I turned the TV on to involved him grating the skin off his arm, followed by him pouring salt into the open wound.

Absolutely mad show, I have always wondered the same lol.

Seems to me that these days, with a lot of issues fragmented in our society, different bands tend to focus on certain issues - although there are some exceptions, yet this is also just based off what I’ve noticed.

Bob Vylan has been making the rounds, Kendrick Lamar has also been outspoken on some injustices over the years. Lambrini Girls focus on sexism in a rather angry manner. IDLES have some songs regarding frustration with aspects of society, however they’re not as detailed in their messages yet they still provide the energy for them.
Kneecap have been speaking about the situation in Palestine in a rather political manner, and have great pride for Ireland - they sing mainly in an Irish language, however great energy for the message.

If you go a bit further you have Bloodywood, an Indian metal/hard rock band focusing on various issues (I think one of their songs talks about punching rapists in the face).

Just some off the top of my head. They’re out there for sure.

Whilst this is true, it’s also a good reason to move to self hosting if possible.

I’ve been slowly removing my reliance on these ad filled services, even though the apks I use have ads removed, and this news just gives me more reason to ramp this up since these same APKs may no longer work without some trickery by 2027 (if they go with this plan).

Still, this all seems like constant patchwork as any and all effort is being taken to rid ourselves of control over our devices. It’s an iffy situation and I just hope people smarter than myself will continue fighting, in some manner.

You also need to be a bit more socially aware.

I’ve had many people tell me I’m attractive, yet at the same time I turned down coffee because it was the evening and I was trying to watch my caffeine intake. During my late school years someone sat next to me as I was eating Lucky Charms with chocolate milk, and said she loves chocolate after sex. My reaction? “Oh, I can only imagine! I quite like the combination with the marshmallows, as they absorb some of the taste. You see…”
Just a couple examples, though honestly it would be nice to have some sort of guidebook on these things. I swear I’ve missed a million and a half opportunities, only to be woken up from my sleep a year later all “MOTHERFUCKER”.

Why must I keep being reminded of this :(

If anyone isn’t familiar: they’re referencing a rather touching story, definitely Google it.

I block most news sources and get the jist of events via memes.

… I’ve read through the article, and it all feels like a fever dream moments later. Maybe things like this is why aliens refuse to make contact.
