there are sometimes "healthy living" rebate type things, like if you go get a physical regularly they give you some monies

one possible manifestation of this could be a yearly rebate if you never made any claims the whole year. though I don't know if that would disincentivize behaviors they want you to do (like get physicals to give them more data on you)

"Yes sir, I was so traumatized and..."

"That's so cool kid"

"R... really?"

"Do we have a job for our choker J.D. ?"

The TGA said the current shortages were a global issue and the result of various factors, including manufacturing constraints and unexpected increases in demand.

Anyone else seeing this stuff about the Wisconsin shooter being a racist radical feminist who wanted to kill all men? I haven't seen a proper news outlet report it but that would be quite the twist on the typical mass shooter

speaking with the publication, he spoke about his struggles with drug addiction and why he thinks weed isn't as blasé as people treat it.

"I maintain that it's addictive. It leads to other drugs. And when you're stoned - and I've been stoned - you don't think normally," he said. "Legalizing marijuana in America and Canada is one of the greatest mistakes of all time."

 Elton, just because you can't handle your drugs doesn't mean we all can't.

I stopped drinking last year, I know it was the right decision for me. I don't think everyone needs to stop drinking. I've had THC and it's a mystery why it's still illegal while alcohol is a social norm: alcohol lowers inhibitions, increases emotional reactions, impairs judgement… Drunk people fight and become belligerent. Stoned people want to hug, and will raid your fridge. 

Addictive personalities will always find new things to which they will become addicted. Gambling, god, new substances, recovery from substances. And some people can just have a beer and call it a day.

For me it's the associated psychological issus that come from marijuana that make it a problem.

I mean she’s not wrong if we are going by the complaints of “Cultural appropriation”.

A homeless child: "I'm homeless."

A very smart, empathic person: "No, no, no. You're merely experiencing homelessness."

[DavidCroquet]

I can let "children experiencing homelessness" slide because at least it makes coherent sense. At least they didn't go full "unhoused".

However, wtf is an opportunity youth. It is a meaningless term. "We don't call them truants anymore. Now we call them The Favored Younglings!"

[Eric Cartman]

The government doesn't have high levels of youth unemployment, it has a large number of opportunities for youths

Saw a good joke today: 

"It's crazy how you used to have to wait 9 months to find out if your baby is a boy or a girl. Now you have to wait at least 25 years!"

It really makes you think that when the Left tries to kill one of their own the very gay Nick Fuentes aka Destiny's Nazi catboy boyfriend was almost murdered.
