You ever glue ez-wider’s together in a 2×3 sheet and roll a REALLY BIG joint?
We used to do that at parties sometimes. Roll up a ¼ ounce in each one and get absolutely zonked.
Gravity bongs in the kitchen sink with a milk jug and a rachet tip.
Apple bongs.
Rolling joints with corn husks.
Convincing someone to drink the bong water.
I love the legacy of a misspent youth.

On the subject of getting really high, we FOAA’d all of the city documents pertaining to the condemnation of The Church of Safe Injection, a publicly funded “harm reduction” nonprofit who hands out the needles that end up all over town.
The photos were unbelievable.
These are the “experts” our woke city council members listen to when passing ordinances in town. They have been operating for years, being promoted as compassionate caregivers “doing the important work to save lives in Lewiston.”
Big shocker—they were just getting really high, and not just with oversized novelty joints. I’m guessing most of the $300,000+ in tax dollars they received ended up in drug cartel’s pockets.
Now the whole “harm reduction” and “low barrier” homeless shelter crowd is pretending to be shocked that it was condemned.
Big win for Lewiston! They also busted some 18 year old migrants for conspiracy to commit murder.
Our new city administrator might actually be the right guy for the job.

One universal truth- Junkies are like dirty rats. They live in messy little nests of their own puke, blood, and shit.
I’ve never seen a picture of places where they shoot dope that was not exactly like that.

Oh I know. Enormous joints and cornfield keg parties weren’t enough for some of my high school friends back in the 90s.
The place has been a blight for years, promoted by woke Democrats along with making character attacks against anyone who speaks against them publicly.
Here’s their official response. Utterly shameful, completely disconnected to reality.
Yeah, thats a load of crap. I’m glad the new guy may do right by the citizenry.
He did well in Waterville about an hour north. I don’t know him yet but he strikes me as a non-woke Democrat or possibly independent. He served as a State Representative as a Democrat but that was a different political party 20 years ago.
The city administrator is actually more powerful than the Mayor in Lewiston. So far this guy strikes me as a consummate professional.
All of these ridiculous woke narratives are crumbling, and not just in Lewiston. Voter ID is coming up and is probably the most important vote in Maine’s history.
If it passes, I think that will spell the political end of woke in Maine.

Yeah. Its good to see. Gainey, the mayor of Pittsburgh, is on the way out and hopefully Summer Lee is next. Two complete bullshit dei hires that have shown themselves to be lying grifters.
There’s no reason Lewiston can’t do great except for political reasons. We’re right off I-95, close to mountains, lakes, rivers, ocean, close to Portland, 2.5 hours from Boston. Downtown is a mess but we still have a lot of nice neighborhoods, parks and a great library that would be nice if they weren’t junkie hang outs.
All of the dysfunction has been incentivized by Democrats to entrench their massive grift, and only religious zealots and direct policy beneficiaries are trying to pretend that their policies are beneficial to the public.
They are going to fire up the whole machine to stop voter ID. Lots of translators will be very busy that day.
We need the Feds in this state.
Back to Trump and national news, I have a feeling that we’re going to see a lot more transgender terrorism as all of the policies get walked back, especially if the Democrats jettison the losing ideology after telling everyone that it was a matter of life and death for years.
This video hit my feed and it is a fair portrayal of the rhetoric surrounding the insane idea that a mental illness needs to be treated by the entire public pretending someone’s self-perception is real.
None of this was organic. Kids don’t wake up and decide to do this without adults giving them the idea. It was done to our society, funded with our own tax dollars.
I’ll have to ask my cousin in Eugene about this magazine.
I personally knew the 10 year old that was killed in Minneapolis. Her father is one of the best human beings I have ever met on this planet.
My heart is broken.
This furthers my hatred of the deranged leftists and the pushing / normalizing / encouraging mental illness like this. And hatred does not go far enough. I have been hugging my children extra these last few days - something I should do regardless of events like this.

That’s awful. I’m sorry to hear about that.
Transgenderism has always been here. It just didn’t have the cachet previously that it does now.
Personally, it’s the move from something that people feel deeply enough to change their outward presentation to its current status as cool-kid-gig that I have trouble with. So I am with you on rolling the political craziness back.
Above I made the comment that I’m happy to treat people as they present and someone argued back as if I’d said “threat them as they identify.” No. What I’m saying is that if you look like a male and talk like a male and wear male clothes and the vibe I get is “male” when you introduce yourself as “Mike,” I’m good. I’m not looking for evidence you’re not the male I see before me. I don’t care. I’m not looking for small hands or whatever, and if female presenting I’m not measuring your adam’s apple. I don’t want to vilify them, have no interest in picking up pitchforks to go into battle against them, find it easy to accommodate pleasant people of whatever sort, and would like it to be a non-issue. So for me: change first name to accommodate preference = fine, but demand that I use special pronouns and change my spelling of “folks” to folx = no. Sports = only bio teams, or a trans league (have fun with that!). And so on.
I’m sorry, too, @Bauber.
I remember the utter lack of people waiting outside the Rocky Horror Picture Show to beat up on the kids who cross-dressed for it, along with the public acceptance of Dennis Rodman, RuPaul, every hair metal band of the 80’s, David Bowie, etc.
I can do the name change, but not the pronouns.
The public policy (in Maine at least) amounts to a state-sponsored religion from a 1990’s secular progressive point of view. I don’t think the chickens have come close to coming home to roost, either. We’ve got an entire generation here who are leaving public institutions with the expectation that the world is supposed to treat them like Maine forces teachers and staff to if they want to keep their jobs.
From what I can observe, it targets already troubled kids, specifically autistic kids. Plus a lot of kids who are probably just gay. Maine has been working very hard to make transitioning behind parents’ back a reality for as many kids as can be guided into becoming lifetime medical patients. The reality is quite disturbing, plus they gaslighted the public the whole way, just like with “harm reduction” policies, the reality of which I pictured above.
That’s not happening.
It only happens rarely.
Yes, it happens frequently, but here’s why that’s a good thing.
Condolences. I’m always against violence, unless it’s defensive. Killing of kids gets my blood boiling every time.
About trans people. Like @EmilyQ said, transgenderism is not a new phenomenom. Just like homosexuality, it has always been part of societies. But we talk about minorities here, this mainstreaming effect is confusing at the least.
This is problem with kids, since they’re not fully developed. How many of us have our identitety figured out when we’re 16? So making them analyse if they’re males or on not is not doing any favors to anybody.
Luckily, this is very absent in where I live. People seem to be relatively tolerant, but the subject is not pushed around. It’s not actually talked a whole lot.
This is what I would like to see. I would also like the assault of gay/trans/weird kids prosecuted vigorously. Kindness and decency go a long way toward preventing people feeling they need new laws.

Definitely. One thing I’ve learned when talking in here and in couple other forums that I’m really happy to live where I live.
No significant culture wars, no hard anti/pro feminism etc. Much less frustation and anger.
Things are not perfect, economy and immigrants are hot topics for sure, but here I’ve encourtered topics I never have to face IRL.*
I’m 100% certain these things are exaggerated by internet, and people are often different online than when met face to face. Actually living in US must be more nuanced. When I travelled there I saw very little what were talking about here, but it’’s over 10 years since I’ve been there, and things must have changed.
*ps. This is not only a bad thing. It’s good to challenge yourself with various ways. One way is to talk with people with vastly different perspectives.
A lot has changed, at least in many places. You visited during the early years of the revolution, when the Democratic Socialist woke ideas were just beginning to leave college campuses, and the mass migration machine was just getting assembled.
My hometown in Indiana has changed, but mostly just by growing organically, still retaining its cultural identity and character. It experienced nothing like what has swept through Lewiston or Portland.
My kid graduated LPS in 2018, having a completely different experience at school than any student today. Fights were quite rare, Social and Emotional learning wasn’t incorporated, and they weren’t indoctrinating kids into transgender ideology.
In 2014 shootings were nearly unheard of in Lewiston. Murders still happened, as they inevitably do, but all of Maine was still extremely safe, with well maintained public areas that weren’t littered with needles. Gang shootouts in the afternoon didn’t happen then.
