In my limited history with people trying to sell me drugs, they're usually thwarted by my inability to understand WTH they're talking about.

I clearly recall an incident from the late 90s where someone stopped on their bike and asked if I was "looking for nugs", to which I responded, "What's a nug?". They rode on.

Similarly, someone just DM'd me out of the blue on reddit to tell me they "had a good plug HMU if you're interested". I didn't know what "HMU" meant, but after clarifying that it was "hit me up" I still didn't know what they wanted me to hit them up for until they explicitly offered me drugs.

This is just a long way of saying I'd make a terrible undercover narc, I guess.

I'm glad to be back to indoor growing. No weather, or slugs, or hungry raccoons to contend with.

This is pretty tasty. 9% ABV though 🤪

Sweet. I didn't realize FreeTube had a firefox extension to open youtube links.

I've been waiting for this for a long time. I liked season 4, but in a lot of ways it was just moving pieces around the board. This one should be pretty big, and should have a lot of good character moments.

This stuff is odd. Tastes kind of like watered down merlot with ginger. Not bad. Not great. Probably won't buy again but it was worth trying.

I don't understand this whole vote-by-mail "dropoff" thing. Isn't it by mail?

I went for a walk in the woods yesterday looking for mushrooms. I didn't find anything cool, but these maple leaves are bangin'.

“Right-wing populism is always more engaging," a Facebook executive said in a recent interview with POLITICO reporters, when pressed why the pages of conservatives drive such high interactions. The person said the content speaks to "an incredibly strong, primitive emotion" by touching on such topics as "nation, protection, the other, anger, fear."

I made the gigantic mistake of buying Death Stranding. Can you get refunds from the PlayStation store?

It's weird to see how many people are coming out of the woodwork here on D* to chastise people for expressing uncharitable thoughts about the President. I don't see them coming out when the President himself expresses uncharitable thoughts, or when he commits many, many uncharitable actions. Funny that.

The Emmy Awards are weird. They're a prize for the best thing a network executive deemed worthy of putting on TV.

This article is weird, because the main thrust seems to be "who would the Republican Party put forth if Trump dies"? I don't see how that's something we should give a fuck about, because we elect individuals. Each party isn't guaranteed a candidate in an election. If Trump dies then the choice is down to whomever is left.

You know that old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times"? Yeah, well...
