general

I feel like the definition of stranger changes a lot when you're told that in elementary school to when you're in college it's not a sketchy man in a trenchcoat offering you heroin to corrupt your immortal soul and get you into the Pipeline™, it's some zooted guy you think was in your freshman-year psychology class giving everyone tabs at a party

either your friend

or a friend of a friend

I just took it as "I know of them somehow, but I have never interacted with them before then"

or less

Honestly, I've never been offered a drug (outside of alcohol) in a party. It's always been some hippies in the forest wanting to take shrooms or smoke weed with someone else

From my vantage, drug use essentially dropped to zero after people finished college, I don't know anyone irl who does anything anymore

not a bad thing, just an observation I wasn't expecting

since all the millennial humor I saw as a kid led me to believe every 20-something was going to be hitting a bong non-stop the rest of their life

Some of my cousins do weed

and we had hit peak weed lmao culture

but no one does anything harder

I know a lot of people who do weed

I'll attribute part of that to Cali for Tiny, since I do think its more a part of your culture out there

this is true

It's also been legal and sold in stores here for a while, so I feel weeb is a bit more prevalent that a lot of US states

Then again, one of the people I know who does weed constantly lives in Colorado

Is having 5 of my cousins do meth part of my Michigan culture?

They did, no longer anymore, that is

the people I know still smoke, are my millennial neighbours, the 30 y/o's who hit up their local microbrewery and then stop by the pot shop on the way home

yeah I guess to clarify, all my cousins who do weed are 6-10 years older than me

the cousins my age and lower do not

know as in, I know them, not as in people I know

Oh noes, my rock climbing gym won't accept my heckin doggo

I think ive been offered to hit peoples vapes, either thc or nicotine, a handful of times from random ppl at clubs

Otherwise just have been offered drugs by friends or friends of friends

I usually am the one offering the drugs tho

One time (more than 10 years ago) as I was walking up the street, barefoot, to buy some jam a guy stopped his car by me and asked if I had a spare phone I could give him. I said yes. He drove me to my place. I gave him an old phone. Then he drove me to his. He asked if there was anything I wanted. I said jam (and noticing that he had lots of paired socks around his place) and socks (you can never have too many pairs of socks). I guess he took pity on me since I was shoeless that day and gave me both. Then he gave me meth from a bong. But since I already took dex-amphetameme, all that did was get me to normal and make my mouth feel smoother.

He drove me back to my place, and I told everyone what happened. They were like "Pyrrhic. That guy was a drug dealer, and wanted a burner phone". I still keep one of those socks with me as a memento.

this is sad

(this is twice the price of other listings)

I'm not gonna take a picture of this stranger, but like, i think i found polu's Dutch doppelganger

How about since Dane is on his second account, we call him Douglass 3.

Choppelganger

this seems like a terrible idea

That is an insane change

since like 90-95% of people who click on a video click off within 5 seconds

set up an F5 bot

removing that would be even more insane

Even if it's just to inflate views, I hope they still track "start playing a video and immediately click away" as a negative indicator

but the per-view sponsor deals won't have access to that information

so its just money farming

's poll How many times has a stranger offered drugs to you? has closed.

ah tragic, miserd this poll

and why is it always coke, and why are they always loud about it

Most of the drugs I have been offered isn't from strangers

been offered a whole 8ball at motel 7 in dultuh (unsurprising) presumably would have been asked to pay for that. another time a guy would not stop trying to get me to try his coke when I was standing literally one row behind the stage a music festival. got many stories

music festival guy was probably trying to murder me

i missed the poll but i have never been offered drugs by anyone, let alone a stranger

U want some?

looks like March is when the Neo 2 launches https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2026/08/15/apple-macbook-neo-2-release-date-a19-pro-specs/

Nice, I actually suspect the pricing won't be that bad on these, even though I'm sure some people are expecting them to overcharge because "RAM"

>too late to bet on the Queens death

why even bother

you can bet on trump, putin, and netanyahu

Putin is immortal easy bet

I would not extort my kid, I would question them on what girls/men the child wanted so badly that they needed a harem for

I was going to put the polu answer in of No, I don't want to have a comically large family

but then I figured I'd need to specify what the other No was in reference to

I think this is a poll that will be funny to see if anyone votes differently from consensus

Is the kid joining the harem or is it a high school snafu type where theyre leading it

What the fuck is this loophole

Also cant u have a harem anw

Like what prevents u from having one

Some eskimo tribe allows polygamy

Yea but they can only kiss with their noses so who cares

and I think the gay marriage stuff set back polygamy irronically

because the push for legal marriage to be 1:1 religious marriage has broken the whole concept

I think alt timeline where the mormons were pushing for opening up marriage laws more to allow what they want, we would have gotten gay marriage anyways

we being the US

rest of the world would have still done gay marriage probably

I hate the 2000s era talking point, but honestly legal "marriage" makes no sense other than it being useful in divorce proceedings

the original gay marriage concession of any 2+ people being able to set up a "union" which bound them together and would provide them all joint legal right over their shared assets

is way more clear than tying it to marriage, a concept of religion for most people, and if not than at least a strong moral/social construct

It's the same thing people are doing now anyway, I feel like everyone earning above minimum wage sets up a personal LLC to manage their assets at this point, which tends to envelope their family anyway

I do not think everyone earning above minimum wage sets up a personal LLC spooky
