HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO SWING THIS SCOOP???

What do you call Fiona the baby hippo predicting the Eagles to win?

Isn't there a Obamacare provision requiring states to participate, while there is no federal law requiring states to criminalize drugs? It's not like states are asserting that people charged Federally are innocent.

[x] Sessions

Does Session survive these disloyal statements? Throwing that sort of monkey wrench into the grand old party's big play cannot stand.

So for a dude who doesn't conduct illicit business online, is having VPN advisable? Contemplating taking the plunge but I'm not sure why lol

If you don’t want your ISP tracking what you do and selling your dataz, or if you use any streaming services and want to access region-locked content, go for it.

Jesus Christ knock this sh*t off.

Considering you can beat a urine screen (for opiates) by stopping for less than a week it's hard to get worked up about that one. If you can't lay off for 3-4 days then money probably shouldn't be spent on higher education for you.

Pretty sure junkies can't go almost a week without getting a fix. That's sort of the definition of being a junkie.

Dare I say that I think you may have missed the point.

Seen. Thanks. I usually look at subscriptions so I miss the new threads for a minute. Good and obvious decision. It's mind boggling that Americans would support these laws even, or perhaps especially, if they support Israel.

It's possible to be outraged over something without feeling that you personally have a right to vote about it or power over it. How do you feel about Russian laws against gay people?

Maybe? We're talking about money for schooling. I'd be opposed to tying basic welfare assistance to passing a drug test.

Free community college seems like a pretty good thing ESPECIALLY for junkies.

What is your reasoning for denying education to people who take drugs?

I took a ****load of drugs when I was in college.

Graduation rates for pretty much every non-selective post secondary educational institution are abysmal so the money is wasted.

Why bother educating anybody outside the top 10%? Send them to the salt mines as soon as they're old enough to push a wheelbarrow.

Not politically related but one of my best friends since childhood is coming into town this weekend and we are looking for a place to watch the worst super bowl ever in downtown Fort Worth. I live in the boonies south of Dallas these days so not really sure what might be a good spot in Fort Worth.

Money not an object but downtown area preferred.

Radical idea, but maybe we should spend money on getting junkies clean so they don’t die, and then worry about educating them.

Outstanding. I'm sure he was asking those same questions, in that same tone, of the uncles and housewives who drove BTC to $20k.

Btw you're all welcome for me personally crashing the BTC bubble when I "invested" at like $19.5k. When the last of the bears capitulates, it's over.

Although luckily for me I got so sketched out by coinbase I got out immediately. I don't know if that's really a capitulation.

Just use Tor.

This is quite different from banning people from welfare based on drug addiction. Providing basic welfare is essential to survival. People can survive without an education.

Assuming that the date of the test is known in advance, people who aren't full-blown addicts should be able to temporarily abstain from illicit drug use and pass the test.

But there are still multiple problems. One is prospective students having to pay for the drug test. People might respond with, "What's $100 when it comes to a free education?" but people who say that don't spend every penny they have to feed children and keep the lights on in their home. It's not like West Virginia is a state of high-income earners.

Another issue is that the drug test doesn't just test for illegal drugs but also prescribed opioids. This implies that everybody who takes opioids is an addict. Plenty of people take them without being addicts and would have no trouble passing college courses.

The notion that a free education is all of a sudden going to be a wake-up call that encourages addicts to get clean or deter people from taking up illicit drugs is ridiculous. As mentioned, some people have prescriptions for opioids and take them as prescribed. It's a solution that grossly oversimplifies the problem.

It's still better than nothing. There are impoverished people not addicted to drugs who want an education who will benefit. But anybody thinking that this will solve or contribute to solving the opioid epidemic is an idiot.
