Where have you been? Certainly not here.

I'm the most gullible of anyone here. 👍

The reason I'm asking is that I am wondering timewise when the last time you had changed your mind on something and what the other person said or did that convinced you.

I changed my mind about climate change and fossil fuel usage. Mostly from watching erudite in depth opinion pieces on the matter and industry.

Now I know that fossil fuels aren't the devil and earth will get plenty hot without us. Right now it's just a matter of how fast and the poors which will be most adversly affected and have the least ability to cope.

So.

In short. I can't force ppl to live an agrarian lifestyle ("we" also probably can't) and not my problem.

He hasn't changed his pattern on centrism, but it looks right-leaning to the layman.

I've actually become more centrist over the past few years.

We need a credible third party oriented around cleaning up societal decay though. The biggest issue facing the American public today is our turning a blind eye to the increasing decay of the lumpenproletariat. No one wants to touch it, because the optics are horrible, but it's not humane to continue to allow this demograph to expand and reside in addiction and squalor, and many of them are so far pickled that I hate to say it, but there's really no coming back from it.

The most positive thing to say about the generation coming into adulthood right now, is there seems to be a gravitation away from the hard-drug use which plagues the millennial and early zoomer.

As a note aside, our 17 year old asked permission if she could try weed last week. I had to tell her no, because her sister's in soph and freshman years would probably rapidly follow and push it too far, as is their won't judging by their obnoxiousness with the "we're all lesbians" phase, which gradually became "we're all bisexual", which gradually became, "actually, we're just accepting allies" thing whilst being virgins the entire time, so it's all irrelevant anyways.

Told her to focus on getting a part time job and establishing an income so she can have a car, in anticipation of college next year, and that I'm not saying no because she's not responsible enough, but because his sister's aren't, and they have a habit of following her lead and pushing it too far.

Well you raised them right if you were asked if it's ok. Most seventeen year olds would just go and do whatever without asking just to fit in with friends.

Probably worthy of a discussion with whole family though. I think it's at 23 states now have adult legal mj for 18 and up. Not even medical. Even Biden Administration actually likely to change the thing to Schedule 3 soon which was unheard only couple years go.

Every kid in college gets exposed. As an adult I would put it on par with beer or alcohol but I get that not everyone feels that way. The more you talk about it the better.

Different times then we were kids. It's always been around, but it wasn't legal back in the day like it is now in some states.

I wonder if Landroval has made his children as virulently anti-Semitic as he is

i started smoking/consuming weed at 17, and very quickly recognized the mental health benefits of responsible use, even tho i would often just get blazed AF

imagine who or what I'd be without the mellowing effects of marijuana
