This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

The non-:qq:are culture:qq: ones are the studies which link regular usage with an 8 point drop in IQ and (more tenuously but more worryingly) broader access with more traffic collisions.

This guy had good stuff to say about it, free of hand-wringing. The conclusion is in italics at the end, if you want to spoil it for yourself.

That Slate Star Codex article is interesting. Section IV forward is basically useless- "irresponsible" doesn't begin to describe the problems of the utilitarian analysis he tries to conduct, something he acknowledges toward the end. The medical outcomes material is interesting, and sometimes very weirdly cited. A lot of his sources are indirect, and I'm not clear on how he selected the sources he used. Generally, although it's thoughtfully written, it looks like he has no background with any of the literature he's surveyed. I'm mostly basing this off the medical outcomes material, where I can be fairly confident he's consistently missing large swathes of research, or overgeneralizing from the sources he was able to find. There are similar problems in Section I, almost all the studies involved on both sides involving usage rates are worthless and/or not safe to apply to the current policy shifts. I don't know enough about the field to say anything about Section III. The idea that marijuana was a low source of incarceration is news to me; I'm going to go research that a bit more. Current incarceration rates across the justice system are still incredibly racist, though.

Scott Alexander posted:

We should probably stop caring about health effects of marijuana and about imprisonment for marijuana-related offenses, and concentrate all of our research and political energy on how marijuana affects driving.

My conclusion, even from the same data, is radically different. A lack of research consensus about medical or policy outcomes isn't a reason to think that there aren't any. What it indicates is that much more research is needed to determine most of the effects of the various marijuana-related issues Alexander discusses. And, of course, most of it has little to do with my :words:fest argument a couple pages back. edit: I've just dug around the site a bit more. Would it be accurate to say this is part of the PopeHat-sphere? I want to know how long I need to study this guy's work before I can write it off as libertarian almost-but-not-quite justificationism.

Muir traces from google images. Blowjob russian was in a cave, shot, shooting at horrible talibans trying to murder him with their savage faces, just awful. But then our hero zed sniped them from his hospital helicopter twenty miles away through their korans they kept over their hearts.

The entire week this was happening every picture of the blowjob russian was obviously traced from porn, obviously receiving a blowjob.

It was the style, at the time, to try to guess what the ladies he traced were doing, sexually, before he painted over their nips creating a shirt, and replaced phallic items with kitchenware for his conservative values comic. Blowjob russian was a freebie. A slam dunk, no question, GG next map freebie.

Israeli special forces officer, either colonel or major, and acquitance of Zed. Works as a private contractor now. Her latest job was to protect the Owens children in Argentina, where their in-laws brought them due to fearing for the children's safety in Obama's America. As BJR works as a pilot for the father-in-law, Naomi and BJR met and are in an intimiate relationship.

I'm checking on this now but I'm pretty sure that the Euromaidan movement in the Ukraine hasn't held a serious large-scale protest since Christmas, and I certainly have heard of any killings.

/edit One guy died in the hospital after the cops beat him up; wouldn't exactly call that a wave of lethal violence. I am impressed that Muir has even heard about the Ukraine protests though.

For over a century, alcohol was illegal on the Pine Ridge reservation (where Two Bulls is from, incidentally). So most of the residents that wanted alcohol bought it from Whiteclay, a town nearby. There had been ongoing protests to shut down Whiteclay (since it's run by I think Budweiser and the intent is to obviously distribute alcohol on the reservation). The tribe just decided to out and legalize alcohol on reservation lands and take the tax money for itself (because it's not like banning it on the reservation prevented anyone from actually getting it and Pine Ridge is one of, if not the, poorest reservations), although it was a difficult decision to make. Two Bulls is very much anti-prohibition.

Furthermore this rules and is also correct.


It must suck so hard to be a native American, you have almost no voting power and you've seen your culture denigrated and your race nearly wiped out. So many native Americans live in abject poverty but no one talks about their problems really. It's hard to believe that slavery is only the second worst thing this country has every done.

Samurai Sanders posted:

There aren't many native Americans to vote period. 2010 census put their numbers at 5.2 million, but if you limit that to people that reported native as their sole race, that number is just over 3 million. Nearly a third of those report Cherokee. For a college journo class I did a piece on this native American groundskeeper who was super active in the native rights movement, and he told me that people that claim Cherokee are kind of ostracized by other tribes because they have such a low threshold for membership in the tribe (I think it was like 1/32 bloodline).
