A lil’ dab’ll do ya.

The nice thing about flower and marijuana in general is that it is/was rarely refined or broken down to concentrations that you see with things like the coca leaf into cocaine.

Even hash was just a plant matter removal more than chemically concentrating like you see with some of those vape serums.

Like, I love me some coffee and tea, but I’m not fucking with any caffeine pills.

But I digress, glad you’re doing well nonetheless.

CHS is the doctor’s go-to default for CVS patients if there is ANY cannabinoids detected. They really don’t want to commit to exploring treatment for CVS without ruling out CHS. If cannabis helps with CVS symptoms, and you dont have CHS, it can be struggle.

Not even that, bison are unequivocallly superior animals to ranch in the great plains of america. They’re incredibly well adapted and their meat is also superior to beef. They’ve always been the perfect tool to strike a deal with ranchers, environmental groups, and the tribes.

Stupid cattle industry.

The Salish languages mostly use a phonetic alphabet, and if I recall correctly, only one has standardized an alphabet which only happened in the 1970s. So the written word got obliterated compared to the pronunciation. The ‘ge’ is meant to sound like ‘get’. But since ‘geo’ exists, we hear and read ‘Jee-oh’ before ever thinking ‘Geh-oo’.

/former geoduck farmer and language student where geoducks were the mascot.

Back when I worked for a health department there was pretty good evidence that people mostly shit at work.

I came across this evidence when inspecting homeless encampments which was also when I came to learn most of them fucking had jobs.

Then covid came around and all the remote workers started blowing up their septic systems because they’d never been used so much and during the daytime.

The sanitary overlap between tent cities and fancy farmhouses is much larger than you’d expect.

just to watch a Fetterman or Sinema or Manchin poke their head out of a donkeys asshole for just long enough to vote “no” on progress on any front whatsoever.

The Lieberman model is tied and true.

Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

If that’s all they still have to smear, given the time and exposure he’s been under, that’s probably a pretty good sign.

It seems just about every statement on policy he has expressed just keeps on being a solid good take.

Protestant/Unionist

That is mainly the root of it. The Catholic-Protestant divide is mirrored as the Republican-Unionist divide. Even if the religion could be separated the political implication remained.

Which made things especially tough for the Protestants in the republic and all the Catholics in the union.

I can offer up a story on it from a British Business magazine, if the Novara source seems biased or uncredible.

The only thing I am glad my US Public School education gave me were a few history teachers who directly talked about politics, activism, and repeatedly getting arrested for protesting the School of the Americas.

Conservatism can easily be a form of liberalism, and can even be considered progressive. It sounds contradictory but conservatism of progressive traditions, customs, and values is a component of many liberal societies. That’s your Teddy Roosevelts, the Southern New Deal Democrats, and the Blue Dog coalition.

there is no necessary overlap afaik.

As long as it is recognized that overlap isn’t a necessity, I think this is fine. The important thing to remember is that none of these terms are wholly exclusive to each other. Discussion just needs to agree to the context of used terms.

Plenty of (big C) Conservatives want to conserve the social institutions of racial segregation or other regressive concepts. But you can also legitimately say Xi Xinping is a conservative in the context of the PRC. So there’s a wide field for the context of the terms to get stretched around and (mis)used and (mis)interpreted.

Liberalism too. It is a concept that has existed and been applied to right wing monarchies and left wing republics. The entire French Revolution is exemplary in how these terms have no strict limit and so a baseline of agreed context is what is necessary.

The former starts its life as the latter anyway.

That’s why there was a whole rest of the sentence.

That’s a better comparison, actually. Mitt very publicly doesn’t like Trump, but voted with him like 80% of the time.

If I were to Americanize it: This is essentially if Ted Cruz, or better yet Chris Christie, beat Donald Trump in the general election. Undeniably a good thing as it’d mean no more Trump and it’s kinda humilating for him.

But it means… yeah. One of them at the helm.

America supported Pol Pot in the U.N., yes, but the direct aid continues to be denied/mired in controversy, whereas the funding of Israel is an integral part of the American electoral system and not some backroom deal of the executive.

The difference in that alone, aid or not, is especially pertinent with Israel. It’s not a denial of aid to the Khmer Rouge, but the fundamental nature of the aid to Israel that is different.

Progressive Americans have to defeat the mini-boss (DNC) before they can on the main-boss (GOP).

There’s a chance the GOP can crack open for a Progressive popout but the MTGs and such already got there years ago so I wager thats about at 0% odds now.

Pol Pot and Rwanda weren’t directly aided and funded by most westerners tax dollars, nor committed explicitly and on daily video by their ‘allies’.

Nitpicking over such details doesn’t change the particulars.

The harbor/bay at the north of that circle is Aberdeen and Hoquiam. It used to be a larger city and a major port, but with Seattle’s development, the railroads from the east terminating at Puget Sound, and the boom of WW2 making the region a military base, it became overshadowed and neglected for the last 100 years.
