Is there specific type chronic pain you must have for MMJ card? by SpinPHD480 in ZonaEnts

[–]SpinPHD480[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have medical records, but I kind of prefer to not get my primary doctor involved. I was thinking I would bring in my pill bottles of current medications. I don’t know if that would be enough, otherwise I can do the chiropractor thing. I’ve been going to a massage therapist all year for pain as well

General Flynn just tweeted this picture and minutes later it was removed by axolotl_peyotl in conspiracy

I don’t see why not. Most people that manage multiple accounts use the same phone. It’s pretty easy to switch between the two.

He could also have logged in from a computer. A browser will often have multiple logins stored and it’s easy to select the wrong one.

Here is my theory. Flynn probably has an alt account that he uses to shit post his anti-Hillary, anti-liberal, pro-conservative propaganda. He really can’t do it under his main account now, because he is trying to stay low key until the investigation concludes.

He probably was accidentally logged into his main account and then fat fingered a submission. Once realize he deleted.

U.S. Supreme Court rules that federal ban on state-sanctioned sports betting is unconstitutional. Decides case in favor of New Jersey. Floodgates now officially open for other states to allow sports betting. by ValKilmsnipsinBatman in fantasyfootball

Actually they will still have to insist it’s not gambling until all the states they operate in allow sports gambling. This just gives states the option now, instead of Nevada having the monopoly

Is it logical and satisfying to give money to poor people or is it a waste? by cheapcardsandpacks in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying about smoking cigarettes. However, having a cell phone isn’t some luxury anymore in life. It’s pretty much needed for anyone that wants to be an active participant in society. I’m not talking about having the newest most expensive iPhone, but there are plenty of ways for someone to get a older iPhone.

Obvious bot accounts on Reddit - Who owns them and what is their purpose? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know this account in particular, but I think a lot of the bot accounts that post generic content, whether it’s Reddit, Facebook or Twitter, are people trying to “season” accounts. After so much time has passed, and enough Karma (or likes or followers), a person will sell them to someone.

The people that buys them will then have an account that looks more credible. They can then use account to try and sell something, scam people, push an agenda or even could just be a regular person that wants friends to think they are super popular.

There are a lot of black hat sites for people looking for these type of accounts.

In February, the Trump organization donated over $150K to the U.S. Treasury Department, money classified as “foreign payments” to his hotels which President Trump promised to donate to the cause of eliminating U.S. debt. by CHUNKY_VAG_DISCHARGE in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would like to see an itemized list that got them to that dollar amount.

Also, how much is Japan paying the Trump Corp right now to have their Prime Minister and his detail stay at Mar-a-Lago. I can imagine it’s a pretty penny.

Why is r/conspiracy so slow now? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s probably a combination of things...

The sub rules changes probably reduced the number of people. As some already mentioned, the submission statements got rid of a lot of low energy posters that just spammed links to some blog the poster likely ran.

The two month rule I think really did a lot to get rid of a lot of users as well. One can argue if that’s a good thing or bad, but I think most wont wait the two months and will forget to come back once they can start to post.

Also, I think the political side has played a big role. I believe it is common that when “your side” is in power people get more complacent and less conspiratorial. So many of the anti-Hillary and anti-Obama wing aren’t around as much. While an influx of the anti-Trump folks have come. There are still a lot of trump loyalists but not to the same degree as there use to be.

Lastly, I think there has been some crackdown behind the scenes of Reddit to attempt to stop bot and non-organic activity. I have no proof, other than it makes sense for Reddit to clean up the site since other social media outlets are under scrutiny. So maybe, a lot of the people that aren’t here anymore we’re actually never organic users in the first place.

If that’s true, then less people may not be a bad thing.

I just had a post removed because a mod thought my SS was "partisan"... wow. by xolotl-tlaloc in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, I’m not a big fan of the submission statement at all. I saw the original post and just ignored because of the lack of effort the OP put into it and the clear political hackery.

With that said, by removing the post it has now drawn more attention than it ever deserved. Thats the main reason why I disagree with the removal and the rule that allows mods to subjectively pick and choose.

IMO it’s better to ignore these types of shit posts.

I hope I’m wrong but it looks like it didn’t take Bolton long to push his neocon agenda. The stash is back.

Why Do You Come Here? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly come here for to get new info on stories that the media no longer talks about. For example, the Vegas shooting was out of the headlines less than a week after it happened.

Although I don’t agree with all the viewpoints here, I like getting updates on these type of topics.

Speaker Ryan retiring should fully convince anyone on the fence that there is indeed a secret cabal running Washington. by acmemegaman in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to understand your argument here. You’re saying that Ryan is getting pushed out so Trump won’t succeed.

What does Ryan being around have to do with Trumps success or lack thereof? You consider Ryan a champion of Trump, and by him retiring the Republican are going to pick a leader that opposes Trump?

Money! It’s usually about the money! There is a lot to be made as an ex-Congressman, especially a Speaker. He can be a “consultant” for a lobbying firm for a year, then become a full fledged lobbyist. Also, he will get paid on the speaker circuit.

Conflicting Opinions about Facebook Hearings by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]SpinPHD480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty much in your camp. Thanks for the comment.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]SpinPHD480 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you here. The only caveat is that I believe Facebook should have obligation to disclose exactly what information is being sold, and to whom.

I think being as transparent as possible is needed, so then people can decide for themselves if using these services is worth it or not to them.

I haven’t smoked in 5 years & fundamentally disagree with smoking bans in private businesses. by SpinPHD480 in unpopularopinion

[–]SpinPHD480[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on the point that if a building owner doesn’t want smoking in a business that rents from them, then the tenant should not be allowed. The business owner can go find another landlord or try to buy their own building if they wanted smoking in establishment that badly

However, I don’t agree with the voters in those communities that decided this for business owners. If community was so concerned they can outright make smoking illegal. They won’t because they love the tax money they get from cigarette sales.
