@uncledoomer in the uk less young people have smoked weed. but they are more likely to do harder drugs since both are illegal, coke and ket among the youth is way more common in the uk and i dont think thats just a weed legality issue but still i see how it contributes to the issue
@uncledoomer as someone who’s lived in the uk and the us, making weed illegal makes it a gateway drug, pretty much everyone ik my age in the US has smoked weed but would never touch anything like coke and ketamine
@RenemiOne@GeezyTheGoose yeah huey lewis and phil collin’s kind of sum up that poppy clear cut production and soulless lyrics that embody the late 80s, listen to those albums and you’ll struggled to find a song with any meaning/purpose/substance of interest
@Dandyist@BovrilG yeah mate i’m sure the primary target of the program’s satire (thatcher) was in touch of them for this particular bit, have you ever watched spitting image?
@AridoAmSubstack@haravayin_hogh which makes sense when you understand the scope of american food production, it’s a big country so it makes sense to have more preservatives for the long haul to more remote areas
@AridoAmSubstack@haravayin_hogh i’m not going to tit for tat on each food item we have, but genuinely there is a lot more preventives in american food, that doesn’t mean it’s all bad and there isn’t quality ingredients to be had, i just mean the regulations are more lax
@AridoAmSubstack@haravayin_hogh i’m just talking bread, like supermarket white bread is just way better in the uk and you guys would love it, there’s a distinct sour tang to american white bread, but obviously that doesn’t mean all bread in america is bad, i’m talking generic loaf in the shop
@maxies_back people complain about actors not looking like normal people anymore and then dog on everyone for being “ugly”, not to compare this fella to one of the best to ever do it, but how far do you reckon the likes of jack nicholson would get in todays climate
@DominiCanis33@Frxmzy couldn’t believe he was only 36, it’s like when people talk about people in the past looking a lot older than people now, they drank a lot yet didn’t drink a lot of water, imagine a similar thing is happening to him
@PaulieSmegma@yookaydandy i don’t even know why i entered this discourse because i don’t watch horror movies, i find them quite distressing, dare i say…. horrifying. so i really wouldn’t know the statistical breakdown of it but my impression is women are often victims and their screaming is a trope
@camindeed@yookaydandy oh certainly i agree and i recognize that as the original criticism i’m just pointing out how fruitless a woman being tortured folder would be because that’s like the majority of horror films, but i suppose everyone knows that so i guess my comment was kind of pointless
@Vehera@BanditskyShaker@KyleGHistory@ifanmj i mean the densest areas on the map are roughly aquitaine, anjou, and normandy. where the land disputes of the hundred years’ war took place
@Vehera@BanditskyShaker@KyleGHistory@ifanmj idk why people are suprised by this when medieval france had like 3/4 times the population of the british isles let alone just england, there was just more places to fortify, also an aptly named war that took over a century on french soil
