I disagree. I can't think of a single sport where the athletes aren't throw-away. That's what sports do. They suck the livelyhood out of their competitors for the pleasure of spectators. American Football leaves people bro

I don't find the UFC brutal at all. Even when the fights get bloody. I don't wince when someone is getting punched the UFC. But watching an innocent man be killed in cold blood? That's brutality. The fights usually end with a

Integrated offerings from Intel have always been substandard. Claiming someone can make due with 30fps in a competitve fps shows a glaring level of ignorance from the author. Can you play with 30fps? Yes. You can also play with a blindfold

I respectfully disagree. People who sell drugs are by and large non-violent offenders. American prisons would have plenty more room to keep pedophiles in prison and off probation if the cells weren't packed wall to wall with non-violen

that's only because of misguided regulation and formula changes, you can't get a crushable 80mg oxycodone anymore through legit channels. shockingly, changing the formula did nothing to quell the demand for abusable oxycontin form

That's because once you've gotten deep enough into the hole of opiate dependence, your perspective on heroin shifts drastically. Suddenly that little green pill that barely gets you off anymore looks a lot less appealing for $1&#x

Oxycontin was simply a massive dose of oxycodone, enough to kill an opiate-naive individual, wrapped in what might has well have been a candy shell. Technically a time-release mechanism, it was easily defeated by anyone with a razor blade o

It was a fentanyl analogue, and it killed several people, including hostages IIRC.

taxes don't discourage smokers, though. smokers are addicts, you can't price an addict out of an addiction. it's effectively taxing the impoverished, anyway. the people who are scrounging to buy smokes will just take that mon

Last time I saw a dentist I needed 10k worth of work. My current plan involves a trip to Mexico or maybe just dying from blood poisoning.

Racism is passed from parent to child. Taught. It isn't a phenomena, nor can a school cirriculum undo what is taught at home.

The only reason for me to upgrade is DirectX 12 exclusivity, a practice I personally abhor, and always have. Luckily, there are no games on the PC that use DirectX12 beyond some hackjob implementations for DX11 games. I think I'll be

I can get a cheap, shitty pizza for 8.50 out the door, with a max wait of 10 minutes at the local Lil Caesers. Thats a human made, human served pizza. How is this pie equivalent in price to the more premium pizza I can have across the stree

in my neck of the woods in CA, dispensaries aren't going to buy cartel brick weed. you can't just walk in off the street and sell to a dispensary anyway, I don't think that will change with a move to recreational legalization

USFL was fine as a spring league and would have probably continued to this day if it was left as a spring league. There is a pretty good documentary[1] on Netflix about the USFL and how attempting to make it a fall league competing directly

if you smoked a joint (or 6 joints, whatever) with no tolerance you'd probably just want to eat a twinky and have a nap instead of driving. even if you didn't, your motor control wouldn't be nearly as impaired, nor would your

tolerance comes into account, which is why comparing driving on marijuana and driving on alcohol is akin to comparing apples and oranges. they're entirely, exponentially, infinitely different.
