I wholeheartedly agree with this. I turn on AM radio When I drive so that my brain can tune out background noise and focus on driving. Same thing with television: I use it as talking wallpaper so that my brain has something to tune out and I can focus on what I need to do.

Is this a rhetorical question because you think you know the answer or are you interested in reading something firsthand that is NOT the media party-line?

Please tell me about your last time visiting Saudi Arabia. I would love to hear about your experiences there that shaped your perception of how they really are.
I’d be interested to know about your firsthand experiences. you know, so that way you could back up the things that you’re saying rather than just parrot what the media has pumped into your head.
Edit: my hypothesis is that you’ve never been and just like to armchair quarterback from the safety of your home.

“You fools”
Bro, I ain’t Saudi. Just a rich Jewish guy who does business in The Kingdom. I don’t care if you like what I post or not. I’ve been welcomed into their Country and treated very nicely. do I have an issue with our human rights policies? Of course. I don’t judge the people on the actions of their rulers.

If you walk through any American city you’ll see homelessness and garbage in the streets. If you walk through Riyadh you will see clean streets, no homelessness, and clean buildings with no graffiti and no street crime. People can complain like you said, it’s just wind.

This really sucks, and I’m sorry it happened to you.
I had a girlfriend many years ago who went out with some of her friends for her birthday. This woman was a professional drinker and could put away a six pack before feeling anything. She had one beer when she was out with her friends.
She and I were going out that night for dinner and when I went to pick her up she was completely out of sorts. She told me about the one beer that she had but she was so out of it it was almost as if she had a couple of six packs and half a bottle of vodka. she fell headfirst into her unlit fireplace and I took her in to get stitches. She was still acting very disconnected almost as if she didn’t understand anything that was going on around her.
It wasn’t until a few days later that we figured she was probably roofied at the bar in the city she went to with her friends.
It can be very scary to not be in control of your own mind and not understand why. Your girlfriend should’ve had sympathy for you, especially understanding your limits.

This coin was found in the dresser of the man who goes to Oak Island during the off-season and throws ancient coins down a giant well to throw off the Lagina brothers. Also recovered from the dresser were several old pieces of wood and a few rusted nails from the 1700s.

Reply to Rare plant thought to be extinct discovered on Kamehameha Schools land on Hawaiʻi Island : Maui Now by Open-Satisfaction-36
The plants are being propagated by seeds, and 30 baby plants were put in confidential locations according to the article. Also:
“Delissea argutidentata was last seen in this area in the early 1970s within three small enclosures fenced by a former tenant. A plant pressing collected from the area in 1971 notes that there were only three plants remaining, the tops of all the plants were damaged – presumably by cattle – and there was no regeneration, likely due to the dense grass. The forward-thinking and installation of protective fencing are key attributes to the species’ persistence in an area highly modified by previous pastoral usage.”
Edit: I could not find anything on this plant having Entheogenic properties nor can I find any other medicinal properties for it. It appears to just be a missing part of the ecosystem.
