Texas, you're gonna upset Joe Rogan!

Hey mods, next time you remove a comment for someone calling someone a name, make sure that word isn't the username of the user saying it.

I call people dumbasses so when they see my username of dumbass, they can call me a dumbass in return, I'm the "call someone a dumbass free card".

I think it's funny that I can call Rogan a little bitch (even tho Lemmy doesn't like that word) but calling someone a dumbass for being a dumbass and assuming I'm American in a dumbass way is too far.

Lol you mods are dumbasses.

it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 days ago

this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony

Ding

Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding

It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off

They have to be killed

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas

It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia

to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.

Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

billionaires, and by extension, the lawmakers they own, don't give a rat's ass about the police. police are little people. they just need to be controlled like everyone else. look the other way when they murder minorities, give them fancy swat gear and a tank, and they're happy. are they in danger? who cares? they don't make the policy, they enforce it

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you do realize people can't choose where they were born or what living situation they're forced into,, right?

The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.

Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It's disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won't openly admit that they did this.

I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That's how I'm starting to feel about the USA as a whole, but there's no place that I can think would take my family easily.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can't vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.

So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.

We're still paying for their goddamned Feb '21 weather event on our power bills!

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.

Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (6 children)

make weed gas again

I can't figure out what this means

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn't very strong and they want the real stuff

That's Tim Horton.

I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)

Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…

MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

That's because the DFL took advantage of a VERY brief Trifecta in the state government to pass legal weed, and now they've had to spend years waring through Republican jiggery pokery in order to even get an official management body to oversee licenses and regulation.

Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.

MN is a state where businesses couldn't sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We're weird about very specific things.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
