I swear to god, if Abdul has a scandal like this, I’m losing all faith in humanity.

This feels like such a huge low compared to the soaring highs of last week in the NY elections. Just praying that Michigan pulls through extra hard for Abdul now.

Just encountered a supposedly anti-Zionist IG page sharing content about how the Bolshevik Red Terror is never taught in Western schools because the Bolsheviks were a majority of Jews…

This is just classic Nazi shit, right? Like talking about the dangers of “Judeo-Bolshevism” is right out of a Goebbels propaganda poster. Commenters were going as far as to say stuff like “we should focus less on the Holocaust and more on the Holodomor.”

Also, I can’t speak for everyone, but in my public school education in the Southeast, pretty much all we were taught about in regards to the Russian Revolution were the purges and gulags and the negative aspects. So I’m not even sure what this account is on about really.

Anyone else paying attention to the pogroms going on in the north of Ireland right now against immigrants?

It goes without saying that the knife attack in Belfast by the Sudanese man was horrific and deserves condemnation, but he has been arrested and is going to face justice through their legal system.

Now all these loyalist Zionist scumbags are going around to immigrant parts of Belfast firebombing entire apartment rows and setting up vigilante checkpoints to stop people at gunpoint to check to see if they’re migrants or not. And of course, Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson are egging it on telling these inbreds to “restore Britain.” Nevermind that these people doing the pogroms are literally the descendants of British settlers and they still consider themselves Brits, even though they live in Ireland. But that’s another story altogether.

Depressing to see countries in Europe falling for the same divide and conquer tactics around immigration and race by the ruling class.

The family of the initial knife attack victim has released a letter calling for calm and stating that immigrants play a crucial role in Irish society, but of course these racists are just out for blood regardless of what the victim and their family actually wants.

Abstaining while my wife and I are getting ready to try for our first baby.

First of all, I know a lot of other men that didn’t stop using cannabis while they were trying to conceive with their partners and their kids came out just fine. But I personally feel like, if our child has major issues, I would always blame myself for not making an effort to change my lifestyle habits before making such a big decision. That probably says more about my neurotic mind than anything, but I know that’s how my brain operates.

I got tested while I was still smoking to see if my fertility was affected and I was actually at a higher than normal sperm count. But I’ve read cannabis can affect the sperm’s ability to swim fast enough or not be able to get through outer layer of the egg. Everyone’s bodies are different though.

I was smoking about half a pre-roll of indica flower a night during the weeknights, and then smoking whenever I wanted on the weekends. I have an anxious tendency so I was nervous that if I stopped my routine I was going to experience panic attacks and a lot of discomfort. I stopped all consumption about three days ago and I am happy to report that I am feeling great actually. The first couple nights I had to take melatonin to get to sleep, but overall I think I had been keeping a pretty good handle on my consumption before stopping so that I was able to stop without too much discomfort.

I’m also not drinking for the next month or so while I stop smoking, but that’s not what this sub is about. I’m still experiencing cravings for weed especially when I’m bored at home after work, but I’m going to keep on abstaining and thinking about the health of our future child each time I want to rip a joint. Any encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

I think it’s actually a genuine coincidence that many of the artists that are pulling out of Trump’s “Freedom 250” event have an agent named Jeff Epstein 😂

Have always loved the drum part Andy plays on “Alexander All Alone” on the record. Of course, the great, Phil Melanson, took the song to new levels when I saw them do it live a few years back.
