I think we all have some things that we either don’t talk about to maintain relationships. Of course usually thats respected by both sides.
Do they care that you call them out? Do you dislike doing it? If neither happens it can be useful for people to realize they’re not necessarily holding a position that “everyone does”. It’s useful to be taken out of your bubble I think, and to see “regular people” can have different positions, and maybe try and understand why they do. It might change someone’s mind.
If course if they or you get worked up by the discussion and no one is getting anything out of it, no one is even ‘agree to disagree’ and it’s just causing everyone stress… Then you need to clearly lay out that you don’t like those sorts of comments.
If they ignore you, then you need to decide how much you want the relationship. You could say “I’m serious about these comments. If you don’t want to stop then you need to decide how much you want to see or interact with me. Because I am willing to just avoid these discussions, but I will not keep hearing these comments, and will stop coming.”
If you want a challenge that may or may not be worth it, try configuring NixOS. And I mean really get into it, try to configure everything using Nix. It’s very time consuming but not boring, each configuration varies person to person (i.e the way you organize it) so it can be quite fun if you have the time.
Also nixpkgs (what Nix and NixOS use) has like, all the packages
My folks are chill. My mom and her friends are passionately cool. My dad DGAF. He’s cool, but he’s also a charter boat captain which means lots of sportsmen so he has to be able to ignore/get along with anyone. He just gives a noncommittal grunt and steers the conversation back to fishing.
My father in law is okay. Ex cop so opposite of ACAB. Spouts Fox News bullshit, but he sat out the last election because he has like 8 granddaughters and at least one gay grandson. He’s a good guy as long as you don’t talk about anything political. He accepted my kid when they identified as trans for a bit. (Jury’s still out. Don’t care, they just don’t seem committed to anything right now.)
His brothers, though, what fucking assholes. I have to tolerate them for my wife’s sake because she can’t deal with family strife but I actually had to sit in a public restaurant with one of them making buck teeth and shouting “Ching Chang Chong” when saying something insulting about Asians, then “oh but now I’m racist.” Right you are, motherfucker. Disgusting. Humiliating.
My ability to even mildly rebuke them is limited by my need to keep the peace for my wife. But if I could I’d just tell them to let me know when they are done acting that way, and I’d get a drink at the bar.
He’s good on climate, his kids are via IVF and he’s supported reproductive freedom in his state, he had a cat until old age took it and has a dog, he’s been married to the same woman for 30+years, he’s LGBTQ supportive, he got laws passed so MN provides breakfast, lunches, and tampons in schools,
I am willing to be a mod. I am very active. My only downside would be I used to be a redditor and dealt with all the bad mods and don’t want that to happen to someone else. Well unless they deserve it or break rules.
The law doesn’t go into effect overnight. Laws go into effect months out, so businesses have tons of times to plan. Also, it’s not hard when there’s already a legal distribution network. It’s not the the stores are growing the stuff out in their backyard
Does Ohio not have medical marijuana for sale? Typically these stores just switch to retail + medical or open a second branch to keep them separate depending on how the state laws are written.
Well, federal law prevents it period. It’s only an executive policy of making that avenue of enforcement a lower priority that keeps it from being a “thing”.
Under presidents who have had more of an interest in curtailing it, it’s been upheld that regardless of state law the federal prohibition takes precedence.
So if the feds wanted to mess with it, they wouldn’t be waiting for it to cross state lines, they’d just enforce the law as written.
Not sure about Ohio, but I believe they often don’t let medical marijuana and recreational switch due to requirements that boil down to a need to limit and document the number of medical plants cultivated.
It’s not explicitly forbidden, just not able to be transferred in that way between inventory systems due to regulatory requirements.
Kinda like how hand sanitizer is just vodka with a gelling agent in it, but during the hand sanitizer shortage there needed to be emergency orders to let distilleries make hand sanitizer. Same substance, same or higher standards, but different licensing and regulatory frameworks and different licensing and regulatory agencies.
In a few years once the various agencies have gotten in the swing of things they’ll probably make some updates to simplify the laws.
Until then, you’ll probably see occasional supply issues with recreational while there’s plenty of medical.
They were medical and at least in my area all the dispensary that got a licenses were previously medical and just opened their doors to everyone. They’re selling the same stuff they sold medically previously (or at least getting retail product from the same growers)
Hitting more road blocks now as mayors are annoyingly pushing back with mandates at the local level.
There are many places where it’s already legal to grow. But yes, some states allow that. Not sure exactly whether allowed growing or if they just imported it. Takes a while to build a business relationship with a grower but not like forever.
Well my dad was chill until he would see a nazi because he is a ww2 vet or know a person beating their wives or anything similar. He always felt since he fought for the world that it was his so called destiny to make society better. Don’t know if that is chill or not but I can say that while he may yell and stuff he would never do anything. It was always mom who spanked us with a belt when we fucked up.
Recreational pot sales are nearing reality in Ohio … The state Division of Cannabis Control began accepting applications [on 7 June] for new dual licenses that will allow existing medical marijuana dispensaries to also sell nonmedical cannabis.
While states with medical cannabis generally issue regulations for which patients are eligible and which doctors can prescribe, the products themselves are mostly subject to meeting lab tests for containing what they say on the label, and distribution in child-resistant packaging. Otherwise, the same stock for medical cannabis customers is about the same as for recreational cannabis.
Hence, while it might be surprising that a new cannabis dispensary could appear out of nowhere – even without a preceding medical cannabis dispensary at the same location – the wholesaling, backend infrastructure, and vendor network may already have existed, so propping up a storefront would be the relatively easy part.
