Hillary Clinton would go on to immediately hire DWS to her campaign. If you look where DWS now is, it wasn't a problem with the party to be caught in this way, it was a plus!

That's a fucking drag. I saw them a few times back in the day. After a show at Slim's in SF, he told everyone not to push or fight. He promised to talk to everyone waiting, and he did. The whole band did. Why is everyone a fucking rapist.

It wasn't that. It was the stumping with a Cheney and being forced to say Trump's border wall is a good idea to Anderson Cooper. That sort of lurching

It was a weird dichotomy.

Now this is an unpopular opinion that's sure to generate arguments! Genius.

This election is so 2016 flavored that it's killing me inside. I don't think I'm gonna watch the election night coverage even.

I know this is the argument people think is the most compelling. But in reality, this is not hitting with the electorate. Calling him weird was much more effective. Even post Jan 6th!

Trump bad, Trump fascist, for some reason that's preaching to the choir; the urgency is already felt with the people who are gonna feel it. The campaign could realize this, and could pivot and focus entirely on abortion and economy, because they won't touch the war. But Kamala is currently stumping with Republicans on a "Trump Bad" ticket. Fuck the Cheneys.

Basically Trump = fascist, even if true, is ineffective, and is losing the election as Trump picks up immigration votes from minorities and protest votes from Muslims.

Kid is gonna read that article. Maybe now, maybe one day. Imagine reading an article about how your mom wishes desperately with all her heart that she didn't have you.

She loves you despite what you are, not because of it. Fuck me.

There were like 2.3 million people living in Gaza and at best guess 42k have been killed. That's a best guess and most estimates say at least.

Initially, Germany had around 500k Jewish people. Around 300k of those people were able to flee, although many not far enough. Of the remaining 200k, about 25% were killed in concentration camps or through some other horror.

As the Nazis gathered more territory, they began the systematic, machine-like murder of European Jews. As a direct example, Poland had over 3 million Jewish people, 90% of them were killed in the Holocaust in concentration camps.

I don't think we really need to compare genocides to say this is a genocide, especially not to the Holocaust.

Man, I'd swear that's the definition of an argument!

Well, this has been an excellent argument. Thank you for the time!

I just proved you wrong with your own gotcha example and additional literature, but yeah, this is the nature of the calyx/bract argument.

Permanently Deleted

Actually, we're having an argument about it right now!

Cannabis growers, botanists, scientists. As research on the plant has been allowed in the last decade, these specfic structures have been defined, that's why it's the modern definition.

Oh yeah, super common argument, old heads especially. That image is at least a decade old and has served well!

Most scientific studies and even most modern literature identify that structure in the image as the bract. Whereas the cannabis calyx is a few cells thick and covers the seed, part of the perianth. it's not visible until a seed has expanded.

Lemme give you an example:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.00350/full

It's funny tho, this study calls out the argument.

Despite all this you still see it both ways, or bract (calyx)/calyx(bract). Calyx was the term for a long time.

Cannabis growers tend to use the words bract and calyx interchangeably. In actuality, the little oval shape with hairs coming out is actually a bract. In cannabis the actual calyx is a sheath of cells around the thing that becomes the seed once fertilized.

A cannabis flower is just a collection of bracts. We tend to colloquially call the fat pair of little bracts that form at the base of the buds where they branch into leaves, the calyx

Do you know the genetics of the plant? That looks like a "grinspoon" or "string of pearls" mutation. There's another version called willowing, but the leaves are twisted when it's that.

Check out the Dr. Grinspoon strain. That thing might be a pain to trim, but it should smoke great!

We'd actually have to be having an argument for it to devolve, my friend! You instead provided me a series of mono-syllabic grunts that amounted to "nuh-uh". Shit is depressing to see all these good discussions in this thread and engage with the only 1st grader.

Uhhhhh, amazing argument lmaolmaolmaolmao. Like trying to talk to a fucking 6 year old.

This has real "We'll write the address of people with Kamala Harris signs in their front yard" energy.

Naw fam, you tilted. Frfr.

Yeah, that's a fair point, honestly.
