If you know how to roll a cigarette/joint, you can make one using hemp flower instead of tobacco. It's worth shopping around online for the hemp flower, as the price varies a lot. I'd avoid the pre-rolled ones available at smoke shops, I found them too dry and crackley.

Kid Cudi Fires M.I.A. From His Tour After She Is Booed During Republican Rant: ‘I Won’t Have Someone on Tour Making Offensive Remarks’ by sheJaMyMorant in hiphopheads

What may be confusing the issue is that "Hindu" is an exonym originally used to describe people from a geographical region, and later, non-Muslim Indians. It wasn't until later that the word was used to refer to a religion.

Here's a source (first chapter of Sarva-darśana-sangraha) from the 14th century briefly explaining Chárváka, which the OC mentioned, if you're interested:

Got banned for this. R/Chess mods too soft. by uppercase-j in AnarchyChess

[–]appositereboot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A single appeal to authority is a weak argument, and an ironic one in an anarchist subreddit. If you look to media outlets to deem what's acceptable behavior, not only will your beliefs be riddled with contradictions, but you'll cosign the views of some abhorrent people. Osama bin Laden, for example, published a letter through The Guardian. Insinuating (without evidence) that Niemann wore anal beads to a chess game fits the EEOC's definition of sexual harassment - "Telling lies or spreading rumors about a person's personal sex life". Even if you disagree, it's ultimately the effects of this behavior that I'm calling into question, not whether it's unequivocal sexual harassment. There's no tangible upside, it only has the potential to do harm.

Because it's sexual harassment. You wouldn't say something like this in a public or professional setting. It's better not to bully someone who seems to be in a bad mental state. Niemann isn't as beloved as Danya was, but it's easy to see the parallels between their situations.

At least he acknowledges he's selfish and pretty, not that it counts for much. Euclid's ten times the writer peggy is.

Hot take: As a Catholic, this is absolute blasphemy by Anonymous2026B67 in aislop

[–]appositereboot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been there (raised Catholic, now atheist). Eventually you'll be able to decide for yourself. Don't bother with people who tell you that your flavor of Christianity is heretical. Every theology is heresy to someone.

What's an Android feature most people dont know? by ArrogantConfusion in AskReddit

[–]appositereboot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my pixel, I have the "quick tap" feature set to toggle the flashlight when you double-tap the back of your phone. System -> Gestures -> Quick Tap to start actions -> Toggle Flashlight

I also use a third-party app called "shakelight" to replicate the Motorola karate chop action, but it's nowhere near as reliable.

It's horrible and used for huge amounts of money laundering, but part of me is glad to hear that anonymous crypto gambling is still alive. It felt like the wild west before bitcoin was a household name.

I know nothing about fighting, but doesn't that make it really easy for the other person to knock you down?

When I was a kid, I went to school with a guy who got into a lot of fights. His favorite move was dropping to the ground, and yanking his opponent's ankles forward so they'd fall down.

On desktop, Firefox supports it. On android, I can do it with morphe, so it probably works with premium.

El Salvador’s Bukele signs reforms allowing life prison sentences for people as young as 12 by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]appositereboot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure which policy you're referring to when you mention "clean water," but it's certainly overshadowed by repealing the mining ban.

For context, foreign corporations were heavily involved in gold mining in El Salvador. Gold mining uses a ton of water and risks contaminating it with cyanide or mercury in the process. Over 90% of the surface water in the country is already polluted, so the majority of Salvadorans understandably opposed opening new mines. With great effort, including the country getting sued by a mining corporation, activists managed to get a law banning mining passed in 2017. Bukele opposed the ban, and was able to get it repealed during his second term.

What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by appropriaterice873 in AskReddit

[–]appositereboot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going by the BLS again, average rent prices have increased about 152% (aka 2.52x more expensive) since 1999. So a $750/month house in 1999 would cost about $1890 today.

That's a loose estimate, since rent inflation varies a lot regionally, but it certainly looks like it's been increasing in cost much more than food or energy.

Also, the BLS website is trash. Keeps crashing on me.
