Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.

I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.

I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.

Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.

What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.

The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.

Same could be said for Rotties, Dobermans, Shepherds, and so on. It’s not the dogs that are shitty; it’s the people that own them. Address that problem and leave the dogs alone FFS.

Wow, lots of people with strong feelings whose version of “I did my research!” is remembering what stories the newspapers wrote because they knew it would spark outrage and attract eyeballs, and hearsay on friend-of-a-friend stories.

So called “bully breeds” are the best dogs I’ve ever met. I fucking love cuddling with those meatheads. Cane Corsos, Dobermans, and Rottweilers are amazing, loyal, and loving, too.

I’ve been bitten and needed stitches from both a Chihuahua and a Poodle. My daughter was bit by a absolute shit of a Bichon, and my ex was bit by a Husky when she was a kid. Fuck those dogs we should outlaw and euthanize them all, right breed-banners? Or maybe it does indeed have to do a LOT with nurture, and very little with nature? (or in the case of my ex (according to her Mom) because she wouldn’t stop harassing the dog).

However, I’ve met some nice poodles and chihuahuas and huskies too (not bichons though, little assholes), but I’m not so fucking dumb and shallow as to say we need to outlaw them all, just that owners should absolutely be responsible and liable for their pets’ behaviour.

PS - OP your dogs are cute as hell. Look at those smiles!

Wow, gross

You’re right, and this is an excellent idea. If you’re turning an asset into a cashflow, it should be taxable under all circumstances.

It’s a start. Its a modest increase in capital gains inclusion (66% instead of 50%) for all capital gains over $250,000 per year

So, good, normal people won’t be affected at all, but only super wealthy folks triggering a quarter million in gains every single year are going to feel any effect. And unfortunately, there’s more than a few ways to just avoid triggering gains anyways.

Eh, at least it’s a start.

I miss Mr. Rogers 🥲

No Ruben, YOU’RE awesome.

Thanks for an awesome update!

Those are the people making America great again!

It’s fatty jello that we electrified and tricked into believing in itself!

Oh please please do. Auto-read for scrolling was such a great feature

They’ve got the biggest and best resume when it comes to colonizin; can’t let all that experience go to waste!

Sounds like a pretty clear cut antitrust issue

I get that Canada needs a good relationship with the United States, but this is both deplorable and embarassing on an international stage to have our government leaders vote in favour of continued genocide.

Once again, massive swinging dick Bernie Sanders is one of the few bold enough to actually spit truth, no matter how much shit he catches for it.

Always a good time when the media exploits or abuses the public’s lack of understanding on how statistics work.

Guess we better institute rent controls first then

Probably because Rebel News is well known right-wing propaganda outlet run by a racist fuckface with a tenuous grip on reality, when they aren’t just outright lying.
