Yeah it’s not super well researched, but ingestion and inhalation dosages can be extremely different. Hence you’d likely be the subject of a case study as it would be a significant addition to the medical literature on tomatine toxicity in humans.

I cannot recommend enough to NOT smoke nightshades other than tobacco, the fact that they contain microscopic amounts of nicotine is somewhat offset by the OTHER alkaloids.

They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you’re gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.

Nah, haven’t you heard? Somehow, Kamala has returned

Lol they don’t care, they don’t follow precedent, that is one of the major reasons they are winning so decisively.

Used to be? This is still common in many industries and localities.

Also, y’know, Neo was miserable and depressed and trying to figure out why he felt like there was something deeply wrong with the world and then took a pill to explore the truth and gain the agency over his life he was lacking. Unrelatedly the authors are trans and left wing.

Couldn’t possibly be a metaphor for how modern society crushes freedom of expression and agency in order to serve the powerful often in ways most people aren’t even aware of.

They make consciousness transfer via transporter canon in the episode where Picard’s consciousness gets lost in a gas cloud for part of the episode due to a transporter accident. Thomas Riker is a replicated clone with a new consciousness created by a freak accident.

It’s not like the concept of a soul isn’t canonically a thing in Star Trek. It’s outside the realm of the federations science, but clearly still a thing the enterprise encounters on multiple occasions.

Saaame… Join us ❤️

Huh? Why not?

Most likely what the minor did to need to be physically restrained is covered by privacy laws.

This is an inaccurate account of the incident down to the year even. https://planeandpilotmag.com/grumman-f11-tiger-shoot-itself-down/ It was not due to the high speed of the aircraft so much as the terminal velocity of the bullets vs the plane in a powered dive.

I do a peanut butter vanilla oatmeal fiber meal smoothie in lieu of breakfast. It’s tasty and filling and slows my digestion down for the rest of the day. It’s a custom recipe mostly.

I mean, I loved the first film, and the second one was the second best daft punk music video (it’s not close though) but who really cares? Why did anyone feel like we needed endless shit Tron sequels?

Tell me you’ve never been a professional driver without telling me.

It was specifically a contrast on the colonizer mindset that was common both in culture and literature at the time. Showing a bunch of useless british aristocrats coming to “savage lands” and rather than taming the land they were shown that without their wealth and power and being taken care of by competent natives and labourers they became the savages they claimed to be inherently divinely better than.

I do not believe for a second that the two things are objectively equal, saying they’re the same kind of thing doesn’t make them the same thing. Just because you are claiming to not be able to tell the difference between two kinds of “hateful speech” does not mean there isn’t an objective difference. This is the same kind of nonsense free speech absolutism argument you see ad nauseum online, that you either can’t have consequences for any kind of speech or live with consequences for all kinds of speech. It’s nonsense and usually isn’t even in good faith.

I both dislike the book and dislike this comic for missing the actual point of the book, which is not in fact, haha, this is what would actually happen and it’s just a group of random kids. It was specifically portraying british aristocratic children to criticize the colonizer mindset while discussing larger issues of human nature and civility and structure vs chaos.

There is a difference between a political commentator who makes their living spreading rhetoric that is hateful to the countries government and is travelling with the intention of spreading that rhetoric directly and some random travelling for leisure who said some shit on social media that was hateful to the countries government. There is also something to be said for if the rhetoric is actually causing measurable harm to large numbers of people vs if the rhetoric maybe hurt a handful of peoples feelings or seemed embarrassing to the administration.

It also doesn’t work in real life not only because nobody has infinite wealth but because casinos have limits for this exact kinda BS
