I find it hilarious when idiots accuse Dems of being “far left”

They’re very right wing

Yanks just have a completely broken Overton window, and most have no fucking clue about different political ideologies whatsoever

OK, there’s actually a banana to my left, but I already did that today

I believe in you

Well, safety first

I’m assuming that that’s the “before” photo

The “after” would be the same, but with matted fur

I genuinely think that weed is one of the most insidious substances, because when you’re even a little bit drink, it’s obvious, and you can’t function

But you can be low-level stoned, and pass, but you’re not actually able to get shit done

You’re not sloppy like a drunk, but you’re dulled, kinda stupid and useless

And that’s you for the rest of your life, because your brain will be fundamentally altered. You can stop smoking, but the effect on your prefrontal cortex is permanent. You’ll forever be the age you started using heavily

When I was seventeen, that sounded great…

In my forties, I know better

There’s a fine line between use and abuse

I drink

A lot

It has caused problems in the past, right now it’s not affecting my work or anything else, so while I know it’s a snarling beast on the end of a tight chain, it’s still leashed

I’m very aware of how easy it is to let that leash loosen, because then shit runs away

I know why I’m doing what I do right now, and it’s not a situation that will last forever.

I also know that the first lie someone with a problem tells is to themself

I have lost people to substance abuse

It’s easy to pretend that weed isn’t like other substances because you’re not stumbling or throwing up, but it’s not different at all. It’s you using something because you want to feel something different

Don’t forget that there’s a reason why people make jokes about stoners, and it’s impossible to see that you’re one of them when you’re numbed by weed

If you aren’t happy without weed, you won’t be happy with it. It’s just dulling the corners of reality, and it’s temporary.

Substance abuse is wild, and seductive

It’ll never ask anything of you, and yet it will take and take until you have no more to give, and you won’t see it coming, because you will always find a justification while the substance is in control

“It’s just…”

“It’s only a little…”

“I deserve a reward…”

Good luck to you, deep down, we all know

We’re great at lying to ourselves. The fact that you’re asking the question is a great start

Kia kaha

I’m there regularly

So far, so good

I have to travel to the US to see someone special to me

Otherwise, I’d avoid that dump like the plague

They’re grotesque, and evil

It get used a lot, but this is literally nazi shit happening

🫂

I despise gambling, but I have $5 that says he’s going to be charged with child sex offenses before too long

And of course the idiots who voted for Trump will be the ones most adversely affected by this, yet still somehow blame the Dems and liberals

Everyone despises him, China just hides it slightly better

School starts in 'Murica with the worship of the flag

It’s indoctrination at its finest

That’s probably for the best

I’m shocked, I tells ya

Shocked

Because you’re making the mistake that they are capable of thinking like reasonable people

They are fuelled by ignorance, self-righteousness and hate

Don’t forget the hypocricy. They would have an abortion in a heartbeat, or force one on their daughters if it suited

But millions of stupid people in America think it’s him showing strength…

This is why the rest of the world holds America in contempt.

Because it deserves it.

That’s so incredibly pretty!
