Thank you thread for leading me to discover that there is a pool of human excrement in Afghanistan with 269 Google reviews, most quite positive.

The world is an amazing place.

PROTIP: if you own a gun over a year without disassembling it on watch at least once, you aren't cleaning it enough. getting NJPed is a natural part of ensuring your weapon's cleanliness and readiness for action when the need to use it arises.

Hey am I the Idiot to try to ride an Amtrak cross country for 2 days? I keep hearing to have fun on the train or just go and fly across the country instead.

it's worth doing once on some of the more scenic routes, if you like reading especially.

like one of the other posters said, there's a lot of segments that are profoundly uninteresting scenery. my trip the first 2 days on the california zephyr were quite nice the first 2 days, but there was nothing at all worth seeing on the third (and then the fourth on the capitol limited)

My dad was a professional photographer before he retired, and in what I think might have been the early 90's or thereabouts was tasked to photograph the king of Sweden (assuming we're talking about the same one here, XVI Gustaf) during some sort of ceremony at his enormous swanky fortress-mansion in the middle of Stockholm. My dad later described the king as looking "very hung over".

Salvia seems unlikely. IIRC it's not the easiest thing to smoke, it takes effort to cultivate (so it's probably more expensive than spraying bulk chemicals on random plant matter), and you'll trip balls if that's actually what you got.

The issue with synthetic cannabinoids is that most are full agonists, whereas THC is a partial agonist. It has less effect on the target receptors and sorta works against itself after a point. Full agonists activate the receptor, well, fully, and the upshot is that you get really high on synthetic cannabinoids in an unpleasant way (ALL THE PARANOIA WOOOOO). Combined with poor quality control on both the vendor (the random leaf matter they spray it onto isn't getting a homogenized dose at all) and their suppliers (random Chinese labs are probably going to deliver what you ordered, but not to pharmaceutical specifications--you'll probably get some free industrial solvent residue in the mix too) and you get all sorts of fun results.

The unpleasantness of full cannabinoid agonists made them a candidate for chemical warfare applications at one point, which I find amusing in light of their modern use.

It's a triangle scheme where one feeds the other and it's all fueled by non-dischargeable government loans.
Student Loans are the hill to die on. As someone who isn't eligible for Military Service, I don't get supplemental housing, free healthcare, free college education, hiring preferences, small business loan preferences, nor a lifetime of "OH THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!", and that's if you aren't one of MILLIONS of Veterans gaming the VA disability system.
The military decided asthmatics and ADHD kids will forever be second class citizens because we can't join the drunken sexfest that is modern military service; which has essentially become a daycare for 18-24 year-olds.
It's absolutely unconstitutional for the military to relegate individuals to specific spectrums of society given how they were born. I'm not gay so I guess that doesn't matter. But, who cares? If the Constitution mattered we wouldn't be where we are today.
