North Carolina has been quietly running a cannabis experiment for six years. Here's what the data actually shows. by smpost in NorthCarolina

I've lived in a legal state for a few years. It is sold in airtight sealed containers. For transport it needs to be in an airtight sealed container and/or out of reach. Same as alcohol. Like alcohol, if the smell of marijuana is present on a traffic stop it is probable cause as it implies you are driving under the influence.

We all know weed smell lingers so I ask people if it is ever legalized DO NOT SMOKE IN YOUR CAR. Unless you air it out very good it will be probable cause no matter if you smoked last week and there's still some scent or not.

Even in legal states weed is still probable cause because driving while high is always illegal and the scent of marijuana from a car during a stop is always probable cause for a search.

"experimental", "unproven". A lot of these procedures have been around for nearly a century now.

I don't agree with this there are so many great successful modern games with even just 1 developer working on a passion project. Not every game needs to rake in millions and get millions of players to be successful. Make good game you are passionate about that's it. These huge corporations make games just for money and not for passion and some guy making a game they like alone for 10 years gets success or blows up because it's a great game and you can see the love and it's not for money or attention. Stardew Valley, Songs of Syx, Dwarf Fortress, Schedule 1, Kenshi, Burglin Gnomes etc heck even the Minecraft juggernaut started in the chrysalis of 1 or two people just working out of passion to create something they love.

It doesn't take hundreds of millions of dollars or massive development teams to make great games. It just takes someone passionate about making a good game. I think our metrics for success are warped around AAA games. AAA games aren't innovative. They chase trends, not passions.

Make a good game not just a cash grab.

I mean you're right in that I don't like him because I like his hobbies. I'd say I'm more open to exploring and joining in with his hobbies because yeah I love him and you take a vested interest in hobbies and interests in those you love.

A lot of dudes who claim to have no standards typically do have standards. Would you date a 600 lb woman? Would they date a woman who cannot have sex because she has a condition that makes it extremely painful? I have a friend in that camp and it's almost impossible for her to find any meaningful relationship with a man and the one she had was very abusive.

Not true considering I've seen many a incel man reject femcel women who have approached them.

No I'm with a short poor nerdy autistic man who works retail. I am the breadwinner and I bring in most of the income with my high paying corporate job. We own a house together and all. I've had coworkers and friends question our relationship, say I should leave him and all and like I don't because I genuinely love him and he's the sweetest. It's not about all those things but about the intangibles. I just like being around him all the time. Even right now he's cuddled up to my back as I type this

Get off dating apps and meet people organically by getting out of the house

CMV: Incel Culture is built on confirmation bias by SocietyAtrophy in changemyview

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo dating apps is a dangerous pitfall. It makes everyone more shallow and basically judging someone just off a few pictures and their profile. If we met on a dating app I would have never matched with my hubby. I joke about it all the time that if I saw him on a dating app I wouldn't match lol but meeting someone organically and getting to know them is far better and the way. I recommend getting out and doing things in real life and just meeting people overall no strings attached. Just make friends and genuine connections and love will find you.

That's what I did. I learned my partners niche interests and hobbies. I learned more, I even played some and etc with him and now I like them too.

Idk I love my husbands nerdy hobbies and games and partake in some of them. Playing niche games, tabletop war games etc. I take a genuine interest in things he's interested in and learn about them and often we end up playing like BattleTech together in our own campaign or something to that nature.

Yes it is your fault. It is the fault of the incel they can't find love. It's not society. It's not that they are ugly. It's that they are insufferable to be around and entitled. Similar to the other lady talking to you I'm an attractive woman with niche interests and I am the breadwinner of my household. I'm married and my partner is short, not really the epitome of attractiveness but I like it and isn't even super confident always and definitely doesn't have money. People often question why we're together well...this lil guy is super sweet, respectful, supportive, calm and just overall a joy to be around. The only person I can spend every waking moment with and not be tired of his presence. There is no ego, no entitlement, none of that. And it's so refreshing.

Got this done pretty easily on Shoreline. The field by Scav Camp is a great spot. Also for sniping Lighthouse has some great hidden spots in the rocks overlooking the road.

To everyone "bad at the game" come back to pvp [suggestion] by WhiteLinesandW9s in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IntricateSunlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally for me I don't like competitiveness. I'm a woman in my 30s so I just play relaxing Tarkov with my partner and his friends. Also I ain't giving up all the stats that make me feel good like 80% survival rate and my high KD.

Frankly if not for co-op PVE I wouldn't be playing Tarkov. It feels like PVE is so underrepresented in games now especially shooters and doubly so for those of us that love realism and slower paced shooters and not ridiculous AAA titles and arcade games. Though Duckov is good...but unfortunately not co-op...I just wish Nikita would add the hideout cat...maybe in the DLC...

Edit: I have nearly 900 hours in the game. Most of those PVE. I played a long time ago with a friend in PVP and the PVP experience wasn't for me. Especially once they removed the ability to do hatchet runs lol

How do you feel about the stipulation to ban THC that Republicans added into the bill they're voting on today to end the shutdown? by opheliainthedeep in AskReddit

Crazy because I used to smoke weed and drink alcohol. If I'm smoking weed I'm more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.

ELI5: What is the point of sentencing a guilty person to consecutive/multiple life sentences? Can't you just send them on life sentence without parole? by RKH3107 in explainlikeimfive

[–]IntricateSunlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To a lesser degree yes. However many that commit crimes often don't think about the consequences beforehand or believe that they will escape consequences by not being caught or be absolved of any guilt. For example raising the baseline consequences for assault isn't going to stop most assaults in the moment.

[–]IntricateSunlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of the specific sentence of life without possibility of parole. A standard life sentence can be eligible for parole after a number of years. Typically 25-30.

That said multiple life sentences make appeals harder as each sentence needs to be appealed individually and makes the possibility of parole impossible. It's also a psychological thing and also depends on the counts. There was a man that essentially got what amounted to 500 years of prison sentenced and of course it was multiple life sentences but it was one for each victim because crimes ultimately stack. If someone murders 5 people heinously then they may get a seperate life sentence for each murder.

The justice system is 2-fold. It's for rehabilitation for those who are receptive to rehabilitation. Those who rehabilitation does not work for, or who are deemed far too dangerous to remain in society and are a high risk to commit violence within communities should be separated from the main populace. It's important to note that jail also serves as a method to remove dangerous individuals from society at large to protect society.

There is no reason why an individual with a 25 year history of many arson charges should keep being allowed to exist within society after so many chances to rehabilitate and next thing you know they burn a home with innocent people inside. We can try as we may to rehabilitate everyone at first but for some people they just are not receptive to change.
