Holy crap stacks.

My general disgust is at a all-time high at the moment. This is why I disengaged from politics and started focusing on my immediate community and what I can control around me and try not to worry about what the shitbags on top are doing.

This is why I very strongly believe in opting out and creating a parallel system that doesn't require interaction with the government or at least as little interaction as humanly possible.

That's why I'm grateful for things like Bitcoin and nostr that at least attempt to do this. Within these ecosystems, it's at least a space where we can float these ideas without being ridiculed.

@nevent1qqs...

I saw something that made me laugh harder than it should have the other day.

"When I die, I want the homies to spread my body over all our favorite spots.....and don't cremate me."

I thought the whole RAM being expensive thing was a joke, 64 gigs of DDR4 IS $300?! The actual hell. According to Keepa it was ~$80 in October.

Lol.

So I know it's probably just a holiday shipping fuck up, but it's really frustrating when I'm trying to get an update on a package that hasn't been updated since the 16th, and they request some blood, a picture of my asshole, hair of my firstborn, just to get an update on a package that's missing.

Like, you stupid assholes. I have a valid tracking number. Just tell me what the fuck's going on with it.

It's a weird extraction loophole, so Delta 9 is the psychoactive part of THC. And if you got it from a regular marijuana plant, it was illegal and classified as regular marijuana. But if you extracted it from legal hemp, which had an extremely low THC count, it was legal.

Like if you're a lab and you're doing legal hemp extraction for CBD, you still get trace amounts of Delta 9 and other cannabinoids. But if you're processing literal metric tons of hemp, you're still going to end up with kilos of delta-9, which, based on current laws, would make it federally legal, psychoactive cannabis.

I really wish we would stop ruling by fucking the executive order. This is regulatory capture 101 and pushes small businesses out of the way by adding more regulations and specific formulation requirements. Gets big pharma another revenue stream and closes the Delta-9 loophole entirely. #weedstr

At least I know I'm not the only one going through it. It helps.

Very, very true.

I don't know exactly why my brain is doing this to me, but it seems like every couple days I seem to flip-flop between we live in a beautiful world and things are going great to what sort of dystopian shithole have we created for ourselves.

At least lately I seem to be having a hard time finding some sort of in-between.
