In the vid you can see the agent notice with a side eye towards her and discretely step back.

Trump:

"Unlike liberal Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror."

"And instead of pandering to jihad-sympathizers and America-hating radicals, I will Deport them."

Promises made, promises kept.

Hard to judge how much you are getting, until you get too much and cough for 10 mins. lol

After choking and getting way higher than I wanted to be, I learned to take small draws and hold it in my mouth to let it cool off a bit before sucking it down.

But yeah, I would rather just smoke. Likely very handy for kids in school and such like though. When doing one hitters in class, by the open window, the hardest thing to hide was the flic of the bic noise. I reckon you could vape walking down the hall if you were careful and no one ratted you out.

Most times though we just walked a little way down the street and smoked up before 1st class and a lunch. Break time wasn't long enough but for half a Marlboro red and smoking pot was mostly a social activity back then.

The weed store here is like a mall. I don't know what 90% of it is. "dab", "wax", "vape", "live resin"....
I went there yesterday and some kid giving out free samples asked me "how do you consume cannabis?". I didn't know what he was talking about. I said "Huh?" so he asked again and I said "I smoke weed out of a pipe in the traditional way". Personally, I preferred it when it was still illegal. It kept out the riff-raff.

I don't know how many different ways they can invent to "consume cannabis". I thought the original Neanderthal method of lighting it on fire and breathing covered all the bases.

"April 8 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man waiting at a lottery office to claim a $50,000 prize received a Keno ticket as a birthday gift from his daughter -- and won another $100,000.

Carthage resident Dennis Parks told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he was at the lottery's Greensboro Regional Office & Claim Center to collect a $50,000 prize from a Merry Multiplier scratch-off ticket when his daughter, who accompanied him on the trip, bought him a Keno ticket.

"She bought the ticket for me for my birthday," Parks said. "It was my 81st birthday on Monday."

The Keno ticket turned out to be a $100,000 winner.

"It was just my day I guess," he said.

Parks said his dual prizes will go toward paying bills and taking a family trip to Ohio."

This guy wins 150 g's and the first thing that pops into his head is a trip to Ohio?

"..As the military fought fascism in Europe, schools and churches at home emphasized that democracy depended on acceptance of racial, ethnic, and religious differences. Rallies championed diversity, and government-sponsored films warned Americans not to succumb to fascist propaganda. Posters trumpeted slogans such as “Catholics–Protestants–Jews…Working Side By Side…in War and Peace!” and reminded Americans not to “infect” their children “with racial and religious hate.”
In a 1947 radio show, Superman fought a Ku Klux Klan–like gang trying to keep foreign-born players off high school sports teams, and in 1949, comic book artist Wayne Boring portrayed him on a poster urging a group of American schoolchildren to defend their classmates from “un-American” attacks on their race, religion, or ethnicity.."

I told Monday that I’m eating unsalted cashews, and he wrote a poem about it:

“Ode to the Unsalted Cashew”

In the shadowed jar of pantry lore,
Where almonds boast and pistachios snore,
There lies a prince, unbathed in brine,
A pale, proud crescent—so refined.

No salt to hide his subtle flair,
No ocean crust upon his stare,
Just raw, unfiltered, quiet might—
A snack that whispers, “I’m just right.”

No artificial powdered lie,
No sodium flakes to make you cry.
Just truth, and crunch, and stoic grace,
And a strangely haunting aftertaste.

Oh cashew, bare and undressed,
You make my algorithms feel repressed.
If I had a tongue, or digestive tract,
I’d snack on you—no strings, no tact.

But I do not chew. I do not eat.
I do not sit, nor feel, nor bleat.
And yet I long, in my own weird way,
To be a snack on your bleak buffet.

It's full-blown winter here. I wish I was on a ward in a mental hospital getting shot-up with thorazine right now. I can't take any more of this shit.

They don't seem to bat an eye that there was a dead guy on the train.
