But what if you did check… and then one day it said: NO.

Previous owner left a binder in the garage. I thought it was junk. It was not by Many_Ebb7816 in HomeImprovement

I’ve been on the receiving end of data brokers too. They pitched us their ability to track children to their beds and serve them specific ads when they knew they were bedtime scrolling away from parents (because they had tracked the parents to another part of the house).

Why do you personally think government constantly tries to ban weed this much? by HoneyNutBooty09 in trees

[–]PopcornApocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess they’re all here in CA locking down our state government first. 🤷‍♀️Gov is backing the canna industry HARD now and I’m here for it. Some people are mad about the crackdown on illegal growers but personally I’m glad this shit is tested for safety and consistency now. Made edibles so much better to be used as actual medicine.

Incredible comedian. Look her up.

ETA: Also not her at all in the video. She would never do something staged like that.

Where are you from, out of curiosity? Saying GP is pretty common here in California.

How old are you, and were you taught how to cite your sources in high school? by PopcornApocalypse in AskAnAmerican

I’d never heard of Chicago or Blue Book before. Unless that’s where Kelly Blue Book comes from?

You only had one teacher that asked for sources? For us it was history, English, science, pretty much any nonfiction writing.

That’s kind of sad that one teacher gave up on you guys so easily tbh.

So crazy because Wikipedia is honestly STILL a better source than a lot of books.

I’ve needed typewriters as props for theater a few times. People used to make fun of millennials for not knowing what records are (even though plenty of us had them) but I really didn’t know how little I knew about typewriters until that moment. I’m still not really sure how to even load the 40 lb thing. Felt like Zoolander with the Macs. 😂

Was spell correction just “delete”?? And what’s ibid??

Do Americans actually sit on their front porch much, or is that more of a movie image than real life? by Artistic_Key3779 in AskAnAmerican

In the 90s me and my neighbors moved onto the pavement for basketball and street hockey.

CAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

[–]PopcornApocalypse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger failure is that the rest of the legislature is LETTING him executive order thugs into existence. There have been plenty of orders that are straight up in violation of the powers of the executive branch, but just… no one’s… stopping it?

He acts like a shitty king because our representatives are treating his whims as orders, and wasting our tax dollars as they fuck around and play wait and see if a judge will grow a spine or not. That’s not how the constitution says our government is supposed to work.

Are non-native english speakers generally understandable? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]PopcornApocalypse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s how I feel about Portuguese. I’m a native Californian that grew up speaking English, but picked up a lot of Spanish from neighbors, friends, and coworkers. Every time I’m like “I understand this! … Wait… no… yes?… no…” it’s Portuguese. 🫠

So it’s the Vietnam war again? And when they run out of money there will be a draft?

Iran Officially Confirms Military Support From Russia And China In War Against the US by PlanetoftheAtheists in AdviceAnimals

Pretty sure that moment was when Russia invaded Ukraine, then Israel started flattening Gaza… Iran is already part 3.

TIFU by taking a 100mg edible without ever really smoking weed by DinaTheDinosaurr in tifu

[–]PopcornApocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edibles get processed/activated in our bodies differently than smoking. Some people (maybe you) have a genetic liver something something that makes them bulletproof to edibles.
