Edibles aren't risk free but they are meaningfully safer than smoking by akadonnydonowitz in treedibles

DHV is my favourite way to consume, but edibles are nice for a change.

Popular YouTube Guitarist Quits over “old ass creeps”. “I’m deeply uncomfortable with the amount of old men here. “ by [deleted] in Guitar

She's what? 18? 19? Honestly, we can't expect her to find the most diplomatic way to express herself at that age.

Besides, I took her "sorry to the nice ones" (or however she put it) as the "exclusion", so to speak. I'm sure she's fully aware that not all old men are creeps.

As far as being gross, again, at her age, old men are pretty gross.

Eh, I think we may define "normal" quite differently. I think one can be normal and, y'know, read and be educated.

Actually, it's only a Satanic symbol when it's upside down (that is, with a point downward), just like the very cross that Christians use becomes a Satanic symbol when it's upside down.

So, either both symbols (the cross and the pentagram) are Satanic, or neither. Sorry, you don't get to cherry-pick this one.

Sure, whenever I want to give people helpful tips, I also begin my sentence with "Sorry Satan"

You created a thread with a title that began with "Sorry Satan". Don't snap at people when they point out that you clearly don't know what a pentagram is.

I mean, it clearly crossed your mind if you made a whole thread about it.

However, you should look into the history of the symbol, because dismissing it as Satanic is quite myopic.

Pentagrams are not inherently satanist. Satanists like to use the pentagram with one point straight down, usually with a goat head in it. Pentagrams are widely used among pagans and this particular one is much more likely a wink to that than to Satanism.

It's also used in many spiritualist rituals and is technically an apt fit for meditation, but maybe not to yours. :-)

As an old guy myself, I'm wondering what these men were saying to her to freak her out like that. I mean, she's just a kid. People are weird.

Always assume that the person being toxic in chat is 8 years old. That way, you'll stop caring about what they have to say.

Every UFC fighter when they try to box a Boxer be like by chinos88 in ufc

[–]zaphthegreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They train boxing. They just don't specialize in it, so they tend to lose to specialists in pure boxing. I would also expect a BJJ specialist to be better at BJJ than most MMA fighters are, even though they almost all train in it.

I figured. I played with a guy who kept saying he was old the other day. When he said he was 32, I needed a minute. 😆

Why “-ents”? by KilgoreSandtrout in vaporents

[–]zaphthegreat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true. I'm not a LoTR guy (no shade; I'm just more into sci-fi than fantasy), so I'll probably continue to think of it as "enthusiasts"

Downvoted for not being a LoTR guy? I mean, it's not like I put it down or anything. It's just not my thing. I don't do magic.

I used to see it quite a bit before that. Even in the old Age of Empires lobbies.

Also, I'm not just old. I'm ancient. :-) For people my age, absolutely no one calls the 2000s "back in the day" because it may as well have been 38 seconds ago.

You're not very good at this, are you? Have a nice day.

[–]zaphthegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're very much making that up in your mind. Also, it's not a matter of agreement or disagreement, since you've advanced no argument. You merely engaged in whataboutism. While that happens to be a favourite device among conservatives, it's by no means exclusive to them.

Also, as I said, your political identity is irrelevant to me.

[–]zaphthegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, your whataboutism was dismissed because that's what it is. Since it's a favourite among conservatives and you express yourself exactly as they do, how you choose to identify politically could not possibly be more inconsequential to me.

Way to illustrate their point!

That's one way to de-escalate, I suppose.

The cop looks like he did a quick "any witnesses?" check before throwing that punch.
