I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.
Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.
I see this nonsense from a lot of accounts I otherwise somewhat respect.
I grew up in Colorado, lived through legalization, moved to SoCal, and now I am back in Denver.
I drive, on average, 100 miles a day, and work all over the state.
I cant invalidate the "experience" of others, but what I can do is push back on this based off my own lived experience.
Smelling weed in public, even near CU Boulder or at Pacific Beach, is so incredibly rare that it strikes me as unusual when it does happen. I was in Denver last night for a comedy show, didn't smell a whiff of the stuff.
My irl friends (who dont smoke) never share tales like you see quoted here, so its not a nose-blindness thing.
Its just a weird larp people who already dont like weed do on here. And based on my experience in life, I would rather have every friend in a gathering be stoned of their gourd if the other option is "one person shows up or gets visibly drunk at the function".
@Type07Safety My guess is she popped it out by somehow contracting her pec minors and other internal rotators while the bar had it locked in external rotation
@JoshEakle You are misinterpreting things. This is american culture. They do assimilate and gave plenty of Amish markets in non Amish areas. Their lifestyle just reflects America in the 1850s. I dont agree with everything about the Amish life, but they are American culture
@TORUS_OMEGA13 Dude if you are doing this inside your house with out a funeral hood you need to stop. I am a professional environmental scientist/ chemist and have worked on mercury contaminated sites and actually have studied its dangers.
@cmosDog@TORUS_OMEGA13 You are right and OP is an idiot. Mercury is incredibly toxic and agitating it inside like this with no ppe will poison you. I personally know people who have mercury poisoning from working in a building where a little was hiding under the floor
