Hey, I noticed it in another comment of yours so I thought I’d say something-

“Stopped to go to work” in English implies that they stopped smoking weed so that they could go to work. You’re looking for “stopped going to work”

Your straight edge friends who’ve never touched a joint in their lives start smoking regularly, since it’s legal.

That’s not what straight edge means

“Removed by moderator”

I see Charles Ross, I upvote

Yeah I support both of them, but I don’t agree with OP’s point here

I complained in the “other” box that they did include for a different question lol

Is this sarcasm and actually about how pan and bang don’t rhyme?

A similar debate with my partner is how I’m found out I’m colorblind lol

I think the people replying to you aren’t properly parsing your comment. To rephrase it for these folks:

“I don’t understand why -during an economic collapse- people won’t pay outrageous prices for something that can… charge a laptop”

I.e., it shouldn’t be surprising that people aren’t going to spend a bunch of money on something nearly useless when our economy is actively collapsing

This is what I’ve heard as well

I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network
