  • I am convinced there’s a class of Americans that just don’t read *any* news at all

    That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.

    In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.

    IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying “it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait”. Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.


  • From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.

    Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.

    Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette, the filter is less wide and the heat is more easily transferred.

    When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.

    Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).




  • FAA also have a problem with its ATC branch. Basically they lack fund, workers are overworked, overstressed, tired and procedures are not always safe (visual app for liners, not strong enough phraseology).

    This will lead to more deaths and no, it will not have to do with the skin color or sexual preferences of the ATCO.

    (+ FAA had a problem as a regulator, see what happened with Boeing)
