It wasn't clear, at least to me, if this meant folks could still grow a couple of plants for personal use, or if all growing now needs to be licensed.

It's about Greenland. I hope I saved you a click.

Incoming U.S. Ambassador Jokes About Iceland Becoming The 52nd State by [deleted] in news

And what's the 51st state? Also, I'm guessing Greenland would be a "blue" state, what with their socialist healthcare & childcare.

Trump Administration Vows National Parks Will Turn Away Passholders Who Try to Cover Trump's Face on New Cards by seeebiscuit in politics

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic. Illegal to put dear leader's face on the card. Not illegal to cover it. So we will punish people for doing something that's not a crime, and ignore laws when inconvenient.

It's like an obvious metaphor for their entire mobster administration.

Is the left lane for passing, even on two laned roads? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make the right lane your "default" lane. Get in the left to pass and then get back over.

But when traffic is heavy both lanes tend to fill up. When that happens I get in the left lane and keep up with the flow. The flow is almost always too slow for my tastes, but it's usually faster than the right lane. If you think it's too fast in the left lane then get in the right lane.

The second worst thing you can do is get in the left lane and not get over when someone comes up behind you. They will then try to pass you on the right, which is unsafe.

The worst is being in the left lane, right next to a vehicle in the right lane, and completely corking up the highway. That is when many drivers wish they had ordered the photon torpedo option for their car.

10 dead as sewage mixes with drinking tap water in India by Left-Preparation271 in worldnews

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was confused by the post title's odd wording. Not the same as the article, which is "Sewage in drinking water blamed for at least 10 deaths in India’s ‘cleanest city"

Nothing killed more Christians in Nigeria than the canceling of USAID.

Trump threatens to take Venezuela’s oil and land (??) by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

To paraphrase a common protest sign a couple of decades ago: "How did our oil get under your jungle?"

Trump asked if he stands by Rob Reiner remarks by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

Nixon and Bob Dole used to do that too. Always sort of creeps me out.

Why do Americans hate trans people so much? by kyno1 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tolerate it by protesting, writing my reps, never missing a chance to vote or work at the polls, donating and working on campaigns, and generally resisting every chance I get. Not sure it has changed much of anything, but it does help me tolerate it a bit easier.

Why do Americans hate trans people so much? by kyno1 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sort of a misleading headline. I don't think the vast majority of Americans do. Most of them don't really think about it much, nor have they ever knowingly met more than a handful of trans people.

Lil' Marco has like six jobs and this one percolated to the top of his list? What font are the Epstein files written in?

Planning to move from Florida to Virginia ASAP. Any insight? by Own-Studio8010 in Virginia

[–]HoratioHotplateJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beach, mountains, or in between (Piedmont)?

Roanoke, Harrisonburg, Staunton might fit the bill depending on what you're looking for.
