I know why they exist, I just think it’s absurd to pretend that it’s ok.

Glad he helped some, but at the end of they day he failed to help me.

The mantra of the modern conservative. Somehow I don’t believe the first part of that sentence based on this conversation.

I’ve never been good at chemistry, so I’m probably misremembering…

My understanding was that the cocaine’s chemical structure is what reacts with the baking soda (and heat), leaving the adulterants to burn off. I guess unless they share the same property that binds the cocaine with the baking soda. The baking soda isn’t meant to increase weight, there is an actual chemistry-based reason that it’s used.

It’s why people stopped “free-basing” cocaine once crack came around. “Free-base” is a chemistry term, and the reaction with the baking soda is what makes it no longer “free-base.”

It weighs more because of the baking soda, but that’s just like a substrate to deliver the cocaine, not an adulterant meant to make it weigh more.

Again, could be wrong and don’t feel like looking it up because I don’t really care about crack or cocaine

Lol I’m picturing a stressed, overworked T-Mobile employee sweating bullets as he tries (and repeatedly fails) to find a customer’s kid

Why would anyone ever trust this fucking human paraquat?

So it wasn’t just incompetence, it was also malevolence and moral bankruptcy.

Also known as the GOP Trifecta.

“hurr durr we need someone to run the country like a business!”

I’m so fucking tired of the incessant sane-washing. Just constant gaslighting from all sides to make me feel crazy for freaking out about this shit. I’m sick of it

Newt Gingrich

You don’t understand, that’s just the free market working as intended. If she didn’t want to go blind, then she should have done her due diligence and went with a product that doesn’t blind you.

Hoping /s isn’t needed, but these days…

🤡

I could be wrong, but doesn’t the process of cooking the cocaine into crack kind of “filter” it so to speak?

Also, people seem to forget that we’ve been paying $60 for new games for like 40 years. NES games cost $60. That would be like $200 today.

Maxwell was far more than just his mistress. She was a fucking human trafficker.

As if the media has been any better… Talk about the pot calling the kettle black

Throwing others under the bus to cover his own ass is what he does best.

Yeah, I stopped reading after the first sentence when I saw the size of that paragraph.

Definitely the level of maturity that we need in our leaders 🙄

How does one register their vehicle at the DMV if they do not have one?

I think my comment was very clear.

There’s a shit ton of information on Voter ID laws, most of it from like a decade ago when Republicans themselves were openly admitting that they were pushing it in order to disenfranchise “certain groups”.

It’s just so fucking dumb that, in 2025, people are pretending to not know the purpose of these laws.
