I want a burger that doesn’t taste like kerosene, with vegetables that were grown in the last decade, served by someone who isn’t contemplating stabbing me.
I’d like to know what I’ll get before I order. If the advertisement shows the burger with some size, I expect the same size when I order. Why should I get a smaller burger than the advertisement shows?
The US Department of Health and Human Services has called on the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to loosen federal rules on cannabis.
Cannabis is currently classified as a schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has no medical use and a high chance of abuse.
Last year, President Joe Biden asked his attorney general and health secretary to oversee a review on whether cannabis should be listed as a less serious drug.
“As part of this process, HHS conducted a scientific and medical evaluation for consideration by DEA,” the agency said in a statement.
Some advocates have pushed the administration to de-schedule the drug, meaning repeal it from the Controlled Substances Act and regulate it in the same way as alcohol or tobacco.
Currently, most marijuana businesses in the US are forced to operate in cash, due to tax laws banning banks from handling money generated from certain drug sales.

It seems so strategically dumb for China to keep provoking India on these meaningless pieces of territory. This pushes India towards US.
It would be in China’s strategic interest to keep completely shut and make no indication that it wants to change the status quo with India. I wonder if these fails are not deliberate on China’s part, but a result of rogue (dumb) functionaries not being able to recognize a difference between internal Kool-Aid and the real China’s position.
Same with Taiwan if they had just kept their open for business face on from around the Beijing Olympics and hadn’t gone down the wolf warrior diplomacy path they would be well in the way to peacefully integrating by now. It would still require 20 or so years of positive diplomacy but I thought that was supposed to be Chinas strength… taking the long term view.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
OK I sort of get it, not that I agree with it, but 2 years in jail? That’s absurd.
I’m from a conservative area and have heard countless stories of people who were traumatized in the name of Christianity. If one of those people feels like desecrating the Bible then it’s just a form of personal expression. If that upsets you well then start a conversation with them and learn from each other. Putting someone in jail is not the solution.
I’m just saying Christianity has a broad spectrum and has changed a lot over time. Even from a Christian point of view you must value criticism in order to find the way forward. That counts for all religions. And if you don’t think so, you’re just arrogant.
If one of those people feels like desecrating the Bible then it’s just a form of personal expression.
If the planned Danish law is anything like the German ones (age-old, introduced after the 30years war) then that’s absolutely fine. You can even do it publicly on SatanCon. Ritual blasphemy is just as much a protected religious expression as religious reverence, meaning that Christians aren’t even allowed to revile you for it in a manner suitable to disturb the public peace.
Where things get iffy is doing it in front of a Church just to piss them off. Rule of thumb: If you’re protesting a religious institution, keep religion out of it. E.g. back in the 60s people were protesting against the Churches’ backwards sexual morals by kissing in front of churches. Much more effective than burning the Malleus Maleficarum. That’s more suitable for an inquisitor to do in private to cleanse themselves.
