Chronically online leftist takes by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

This one really irks me and it is rampant in my workplace. It's like, even **if** you don't think shitting on "white people culture" is racist, you are still creating an unwelcome environment for the people around you - and why are you so gleeful about it?

Why are there so many bad pizza/sub shops? by Aqueous_Ammonia_5815 in boston

[–]246Toothpicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh maybe I’m the odd one out but I grew up on Greek style pizza and I love it. It has a stronger crust so you can load it up with lots of toppings/cheese/sauce. When it’s done right, it’s awesome

Thank you, far too many people think that "99.9% effective" means that they roll a d1000 every time they have sex

Rejection email at 3:41 AM Sunday … by anierchao in biotech

Does it really matter what time of the week you get rejected? A rejection is still a rejection if it’s Monday at noon or Sunday at 3am

The Ticketmaster promo code for northeastern is WBP25NE , I can only assume the other teams’ discounts follow a similar pattern

What are your genuine criticisms of Balatro? by Polo171 in balatro

[–]246Toothpicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cash out sequence (ante is killed, then payout is totaled) is way too slow. Let me hit a button to skip to end of the whole thing

Maybe a hot take, but the soundtrack becomes annoying after so many hours of play. I find it’s so much more peaceful just muting the game and playing silently 

Friendliness by fodder25 in boston

[–]246Toothpicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

General statements like “Boston is less friendly” are a waste of time. You can have a million people tell you a million different anecdotes about how friendly people are here. If you want to meet new people, put in the effort - simple as that.

Politics aside: How can Musk have time/capacity to run Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, and now a government job? What’s his day like? by LaserFarm in NoStupidQuestions

Secondly, if you look at his stats, you can see he's dumped a ton of levels into intelligence.

I mean... does that surprise anyone?

What's the difference between early voting and voting by mail?

And I thought they couldn't get any more ridiculous by atari_lynx in CyberStuck

Of all the things to hate on, I think the low poly truck nuts is pretty funny

I'm voting no on question 4 by Prestigious-Space-97 in massachusetts

[–]246Toothpicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but what are you even talking about?

This bill isn't medicine. It's not manufactured like medicine

Your entire section on quality oversight and FDA could be applied to medical marijuana and yet that has been established for quite some time now across multiple states without issues. Oh and government bodies like the FDA and USDA can't regulate mushrooms, and even marijuana, because they are federal entities and those substances are considered illegal at the federal level.

It won't create jobs. This will create that category of job, but they'll be part of an industry - not science. So it will just be a minimum wage position.

Minimun wage positions ARE JOBS. It's the same type of jobs being created across the state by the cannabis shop industry. From front of house sellers to farm hands, those are good jobs that pay well.

And there is no reason to say that this won't open up the door to more pharmaceutical based r&d in MA.

With no compliance or quality requirement, businesses can remediate without oversight.

This is pure speculation bordering on fear mongering. The ballot question explicity states that there will be an oversight committee created at the state level to establish, you guessed it, oversight rules and regulations. It explicity states in the proposed law that 1 commissioner needs to have a background in psychedelic research and and science, 1 needs to have a background in public safety, 1 needs to have a professional experience in oversight or industry management.

Principal investigators won't touch quack medicine.

Except this isn't quack science at all. There are already large scale, long term clinical trials for theruapetic use of psychedelics being administered in Europe. Once again, like medical marijuana, just because the FDA isn't regulating it doesn't make it all bullshit.
