You do realize that your providing sources for someone else who didn’t doesn’t make them less emotional, nor my original post “ironic” for not knowing your sources.

I stand by my original post, which was a cursory google search of us history.

Thanks for providing sources.

However, my ultimate point that it was never a gateway drug and bans were consistently protested remains.

Is your point that I’m wrong for not knowing everything because I said “Here’s what I found, stop being emotional and show me what you found.”?

Good day.

You’re going to have to provide some source for it being illegal. Arguably, it was contentious in the 30s, but the first official ruling was 1970.

It also seems like you don’t understand that it being banned 50 years ago is not the same as it being banned for 50 years.

It was banned in 1970, but 3 years after, states pushed back.

Alcohol was banned in 1920, and 13 years later, it was unbanned.

You are coming across as very emotional about this, but you are showing how little you have researched. I don’t have time to bring you up to speed if you are only going to keep your fingers in your ears while you shut your eyes and scream how right you are.

Have a good day.

After a quick search through us history, alcohol was banned around 1920 and lasted for about 13 years. The marijuana ban that we all know of happened, get this, in 1970, and states began pushing back only 3 years after. So, alcohol was banned far longer than marijuana. The d.a.r.e. campaigns and other propoganda coupled with the inability to do scientific studies on the drug created the mass panic. There were not serious problems, other than some politician needing a platform.

Those poor multi-billion dollar…

Nope, I cannot even finish typing that sentence.

Fuck 'em.

My hands feel weird…

Good o’le “Bobwehadababyitsaboy”

I also remember when CarrotTop did the C-A-L-L-A-T-T commercial, so that’s fun/old…

So, the dictionary is not a gold-standard.

It is, in fact, the opposite and in very simplified terms, just a book of how people currently pronounce words and their meaning today. Think of it more as a record book for the time it was printed, rather than a rule book; living languages are funny like that.

If you would like to know more, I highly recommend Word by Word written by Kory Stamper, one of the editors for the Merriam-Websters Dictionary.

Okay… Sheesh! Text message, email, voicemail, and now lemmy post!? Fine, I’ll call to schedule my yearly appointment. Happy now, doc?

Seconded.

I’ve played most of the games.

New Vegas is best for overall gameplay.

Personally, I like 4 best, but that’s because I played it first and the newer interfaces and voice-acting integration is smoother (it’s a newer game, so this is kind of th point). But, everyone I’ve talked to says New Vegas is the best, and I have to agree.

Absolutely.

It’s good.

If you’ve never played the games, it may take a few episodes to figure out, but my kids (who’ve never played) enjoyed it.

The universe has so many characters, factions, and creatures that I would say not even 1/4 are in the first season, so there is a lot of in universe room to expand and explore story-wise.

Not often I say this about new streaming series, but I highly recommend!

Apostrophes create contractions, hyphens create compounds.

Sorry, but um, actually, that’s a hyphen. An apocalypse is the goddess from Pirates of the Carribean who is in love with Davy Jones.

All I found in a cursory search were commercial displays. But I’ll keep looking.

I’ve got a 30"? VISIO that’s over 13 years old and doing just fine. I’d love to get another something of that quality; planned obsolescence sucks.

In the clock app on android, click the plus at the top, then click which day to repeat.

Alternatively, click the calendar icon after clicking the plus at the top and select the date.

Android’s is pretty good.

Can reschedule repeat alarms to sound at the next scheduled time if you need to disable the current one with just a flip of the toggle and a confirmation.

Also, I love being able to schedule alarms out indefinitely. I use it to remember appts. that are over a year out.

Woah… I forgot about all that.

Waking up to the latest AAA that was started 36hrs ago at 75.8kb/s.

Of course it dropped to 0.9kb/s frequently, but it still downloaded.

This is my thought:

Good enough laptops are about $200, and Linux is free.

Then there are fairly good projectors for like $80 or less that have hdmi, av, rgb, etc. with an led bulb.

So, grand total about $300 for a massive screen and zero ads.

Lemme c if I can xplan.

Hot air goes up.

Rocks ata top are also up.

So, more hot at the top makes the rocks hotter ad hotter, lika microwav, until they boil and melt tye tip of the mountain of, then, boom, volcano.
