There is, it's a known thing! Certain genetics have a different delivery mechanism and make-up, they're supposed to have the same *effects* within a certain margin but they aren't necessarily made the same way. You can absolutely insist on being rx'd the generic (and which one, tho stock varies.)

Heck yeah. Almost as carcinogenic as cigarettes. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a huge problem, as is brain damage from long-term abuse. Wild to me it isn't taken more seriously as a health threat.

Everyone knows that it was Canada, France, and the UK recognizing the Palestinian state that did this right?

Right?

Just felt that needed to be said.

Macron should have gotten the prize, actually.

They'll absolutely use plants if protestors don't. Protesters need to plan to deal with that themselves (e.g. groups totally surrounding them facing our with arms linked is a good option. There are others I'm sure. All require being prepared and willing to act to stop any... exuberance.)

This is brilliant.

Expect that I do occasionally feel sorry for Elmer. Never for Goebbels.

Why? RFK Jr sure didn't.

Back in my day we didn't need a plagiarism machine to plagiarize, kids these days have gone soft.

I used to work at a record store and we got Cost+5% but a few months later those CDs would be in the bin in front of the store for way less, because keeping them around taking up shelf space also wasn't free, but that opportunity cost ofc wasn't calculated into the margin we got charged.

>I'm not saying that I want goons arresting psycho parents!

I was kinda tempted by this, if fascism why not for the right people? How could that be wrong

Okay, well, I SUPPOSE it's still wrong. Alas.
