Nah, because they had that one theater shooting way before they got weed.
I like the term "jazz cabbage" myself.

I think sarcasm died the day comedians said yes absolutely Donald Trump should run for president, what's the worst that could happen, its a great idea!
I mean Biden has barely been in place a couple months and we have illegals in cages, we've cancelled a huge pipeline project that would provide tax revenue and thousands of jobs to americans, bombed Syria again, and the dude can't walk up the stairs in a stiff breeze.
I dunno Biden seems to somehow be sending us further backwards than people claim Trump did. But biden will get a pass because.....he uh....put a black lady as VP?
Oh thank god. I was like..."fuck it's 2021, sarcasm or Qanon is a thin line."
On a side note
White House staffers asked to resign, work remotely after revealing past marijuana use
WTF Joe?
Well he'll get a pass because he believes the federal government will exist and like isn't such a bold face liar. Trump still hasn't admitted kids are in cages, that's still fake news.
It’s the White House, in so much as I believe in marijuana legalisation I accept that some areas of employment - high government positions, the military and law enforcement as examples - are going to have policies limiting if not prohibiting drug use. Currently (that I’m aware) marijuana counts as an illicit drug so it’s covered under the most basic of drug policies, if it gets legalised then there will be separate clauses.
I think there was some trials of camera on the guns themselves. However, there've been police filmed murdering people and getting away with it, so not sure how much that would help. Of course, it means bystanders don't have to film it and get locked up on trumped on charges and get rat poison in their food by some strange coincidence.
He's not funnelling additional billions of dollars into propping up an ecologically ruinous, dying fossil fuel industry. In order to artificially create a relatively small number of short-term jobs.
Good.
Instead he is giving billions to foreign countries while barely giving his own citizens the relief aid they need to get through the economic bullshit that the government caused over the past year.
Yep why get it yourself when you can go to war and steal it from others. Makes sense to me.
Ditto. Used to happen somewhat frequently when I was in college, got less common after about 30.
Every few months during my college days I'd get pulled over, they'd take a super long time after they took my license/insurance/registration, roughly half the time backup would show up (3 times said backup was a K9 unit), and after a total of about half an hour they'd return my documents and tell me to "be safe out there" or similar. No explanation given. That was back when I drove a red 2 seat Geo Metro convertible. It sounded like a swarm of angry bees that got angrier as you went faster. Speedometer stopped at 85, taking the car over 70 was a very bad idea that made it make noises car engines aren't supposed to make.
I'd just assumed that they were on the lookout for someone whose description I also met.
Had a friend get pulled over because he was driving in the wrong part of Baltimore and it was assumed by the police that a bunch of well dressed white guys driving in that part of town at that time were either looking to score drugs or looking to deal drugs. They were just lost, they'd made a wrong turn and this was before you could get good directions and GPS from your phone.
This would not surprise me. Cars are by orders of magnitude the most dangerous thing most people deal with on a daily basis, and road workers have to deal with at least hundreds of them, at a place where there's a sudden change in traffic flow every day as part of their job. While also working with equipment that is dangerous in and of itself.
This. They are public servants in the course of their job - they should be as transparent as possible at all times. The footage of any given incident should also be accessible by the public on request.
Article linked a few posts before you suggests he was Syrian and born in Syria. He was reported as white because of course he was - he was a mass shooter, therefore he needs to be a white guy and reporting first gets you more clicks that reporting correctly. That's the "correct" story to tell unless and until proven wrong.
Better read up on criticism of Stanford Prison Experiment - there's a lot to suggest it's not as revelatory (or even demonstrative of anything) as has been suggested. For example https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/2019-letexier.pdf . Specifically, there's evidence to suggest that the guards knew what Zimbardo was going for and were trained to create that result.
It's not the price tag or limited resources that is stopping that. The ruling class would just rather people suffer than set the precedent of the government ever providing adequate relief or successfully managing a crisis. Though there are certainly reasons to oppose funding genocide by Saudi Arabia or apartheid by Israel and so forth, foreign aid is far from why we can't have nice things. What we have today is pretend scarcity to enable pretend pragmatism. Adequate COVID aid would shatter that illusion to the extent it isn't shattered already.
