What kind of tweet is this?  Do we think suicide bombers all have "suicide bomber" as their occupation?  Oh, he was a "student", so I'm supposed to care?  Most people under the age of 22 are students.  And that's who gets targeted for these kinds of operations, because they're young and malleable and it's easy to talk them into doing stupid things like blowing themselves up for Allah.

Sorry we couldn't get these 5 guys away from their children.  They certainly didn't bother to wait until the 13 U.S. troops they were targeting were away from the 169 Afghan civilians they also killed with their suicide bombing.

We also have quite a few folks who recommended the absurd / ignorant post:

It's 2021 when you can go to a somewhat Christian music fest in Alabama and see this.

Still this is only CBD bath oil type stuff with not THC in the mix.

Just having an MJ banner on your booth doesn't make it legit and the real deal, where honestly THC based products are strongly effective against a wide array of medical conditions.

Alabama versions of Medical Marijuana are some of the most backwards of any state in the Union, while meanwhile in NE Bama in the outlaw region from Prohibition era, tons of THC MJ is being produced and distributed to support the local demand for Recreational markets as well.

No it's actual THC, just based on Delta-8 instead of Delta-9 and yes it does get you high. It's legal under a federal loophole that most states copied in the farm bill. I've bought and used a bunch in Minnesota. Trust me it's maybe a little bit weaker than D9, but the answer to "does it get you high?" Is a definite YES.

Sounds like a bunk argument to me...

I guess theoretically with some recent reforms in Alabama regarding Medical Marijuana it is possible that that this tent could potentially be selling THC outside of a music venue.

Did you sample the product or just posting based upon hearsay?

Due to the fact that what was being referred to was not in any way related to medical marijuana. It's a total non-sequitor.

 Dude. Just because his question slightly veered off topic, and hardly in a totally tangental way either, does not remotely warrant it's being placed in this thread. Get a grip.

It's more that I issued an explanation and he still kept pushing it and doubling down despite me having first hand experience with the product in question.

Nope. Still calling this as Not a particularly absurd or ignorant post, but rather you just attention whoring again.

Dude if you ever tried Delta-8 you would know that saying it doesn't get you high is quite absurd and ignorant. It's legal in Ohio too so you can try it yourself if you want...and then you would know that you can indeed get as f[inks]ing high as a kite on it.

So considering that I am the poster in question facing the serious and grave charges of having committed an absurd and/or ignorant post within the context of a BRTD thread, and under the full peer review of the judge and jury of my Atlas Peers, I believe I am allowed to respond directly.

I would have earlier but considering this got a "Seagull" into the absurd/ignorant post category while we were enjoying a lovely Birthday vacation week at the Oregon Coast, naturally I deigned to respond until my return home.

I humbly bow down before the sagacity and wisdom of BRTD on this issue, recognizing that I lack the proper Knowledge, Skills, and Experience (KSE) to be an effective independent analysist on the question "Does this get you high?".

BRTD has already stated that he is an expert in the consumption of this "Delta 8" version of THC, and that additionally he has gotten high multiple times consuming this product (Although unclear if he was ingesting, smoking, snorting, or "jacking up" with Delta).

I humbly take my lickings for having posted an absurd or ignorant post (He did not state which) and daring to question BRTD's personal experience with the drug.

Still, I should note that this product is still unregulated and there are serious questions regarding medical issues from usage of this product, so meanwhile now that I am back from vacation would prefer to go a bit more traditional and take a "puff from the Hobbits pipe", just like Gandolf the Grey.

I fully endorse firebombing Australia and New Zealand and putting their pro-lockdown leaders at trial in the Hague.

This would def fall into the absurd category.

When I first read this earlier today, I assumed it was a deliberate attempt of "being funny" or satire vs actually supporting this position, and still assume this was the intent of Tar Heel Gent.

In regards to largest cities won by Trump:

I can’t check rn but I’m guessing;

Huntsville (narrowly), Boise, Wichita (narrowly), Oklahoma City (long shot tho), and Charleston WV

Why are you getting so worked up over Boise?

Because it's quite liberal.

Not a huge fan of this thread in general because in many cases people use it to attempt to "own" other posters, quote their posts out of context, and generally can degrade the quality of political discourse on Atlas.

In fact, I seem to recall an incident within the past 3+ years where (from my perception), BRTD was effectively accusing me of a being a Communist Stooge bcs of a post I had made regarding some random election in Europe.

BRTD is correct that Boise was not only a Biden city, but even beyond that has long been a strong Democratic Voting city, as well as being extremely "liberal" on a wide variety of social, economic, and foreign policy related items.

Well before the massive Tech boom in Metro Boise, there was the City I visited for the first time as a kid in the mid '80s.

Very large and impressive natural food Co-Op that went way back to the mid '70s, Green Belt along the main river, alternative coffee shops in West Boise close to the University, awesome bookstore in "Downtown Boise" with a wide collection of alternative books, magazines, and newspapers, etc...

Ada County might well become a DEM stronghold in Idaho *IF* Dems can crack the Mormon vote in the 'Burbs.

Shortage of affordable housing these dayz in Metro Boise might also well dilute the strength of the PUB votes in Metro Boise (Outside of the City), as the Tech refugees are increasingly grabbing up what is already a massive shortage of housing....

Still, BRTD sometimes might need to play nicer in the sandbox, especially on such threads.
