She's public relations major who just got you to look at a headline about her. I'd say she's pretty smart, but lacking in morals and empathy.

While I complete and totally agree that it should be legalized, or at least federally rescheduled and completely decriminalized, I worry about what happens when it's federally regulated and taxed.

If it is federally legalized and taxed, it will likely become the domain of the ATF, who will ~~take over~~ continue kicking in doors and doing raids on anyone who is not a huge corporate grower. Marlboro has already trademarked Marlboro Greens and I'm sure every other tobacco giant has their branding ready.

Leaving regulation and taxation to each state is probably better long term, otherwise it's just going to be a corporate cash grab with established local growers and suppliers getting screwed.

Regardless, it should be completely legal to grow it in your back yard.

Yes, but will humans realize that before everyone has starved and the knowledge of how to do those things is gone?

My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

Gaming transcends any age.

FabFilter Pro-C 2 is my go-to.

PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption in California. They're even advertising their EV plan by comparing their pricing to buying gas at the pump.

$0.65/kWh during peak is probably the highest power cost in the whole US, even including Hawaii.

The pictures of her with Mango Musalini make it look like they're sharing more than just a political viewpoint.

I doubt he really cared about the gas or EV debate, it was just an issue he could use as leverage to get his former company another fat government contract.

Also please remember that anything good Dejoy does is just the minimum required to keep him off the Biden administration's shit list so that he can keep securing contracts for XPO - the private shipping carrier he still has financial ties with.

No, he's made forced concessions to the Biden administration, but it's only to placate them enough to keep his position, and double dip with contracts for XPO (the business he used to own and still has financial ties with).

Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.
