Did you know The Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 54,539 train derailments between 1990 to 2021, an average of 1,704 per year?

Most people think the same, until it hits mainstream or alt media and their social group starts repeating it, then suddenly it's nearly indisputable fact to them.

We can be suspicious of the government, and we can be suspicious of media, but it's important to realize when things seem to be synchronously happening, and have been in the media at the same time, that it's likely not the cause/effect we may think it is.

‘If a lie is only printed often enough, it becomes a quasi-truth, and if such a truth is repeated often enough, it becomes an article of belief, a dogma, and men will die for it.’

Men and women are socialised to play different roles in relationships, and this has an effect on how they deal with difficult situations within their Relationship. It's not a competition; it's an observation.

That was just a really long way of saying profits over people.

Cash only in Oregon and Washington.

I can buy legally and still choose to buy from a dealer because 1, he's not shady as is usually the case with weed dealers and 2, it's half the price

Eh, it's not a competition.

I've heard many anecdotes supporting this, including those of healthcare professionals. I do realise that anecdotes don't constitute statistical proof; nevertheless the idea that this gender discrepancy exists is very much "out there".

Or women, specifically, are more likely to be abandoned by their partners when they get sick: Gender disparity in the rate of partner abandonment in patients with serious medical illness

I'm suspicious of some of the things surrounding 9/11. I'm suspicious of the train derailments and believe that it might be related to domestic terrorism that our government is keeping quiet while they investigate. I'm suspicious of our government in general.

But without enough evidence to make a factual claim, I'm going to keep that as a suspicion and not run around claiming that it's a fact. I think that's what separates reasonable suspicion from conspiracy theorists.

Right and this is part of the problem. Applying "conspiracy theory" to any topic – even the ones that have an incredible amount of empirical and official evidence – lumps everyone into the "crazies" group.

I don't believe the earth is flat, but I'm often suspicious of our government's motivations. These are not the same thing, but treating them the same keeps people away from spending any time forming an informed opinion.

>Are the Canadian Venmo/Cashapp alternatives tracked like other banking?

In Canada we have eTransfers which are directly moving funds from one bank account to another, via email or text messages. It's all done within the bank apps, so yeah I imagine it's fully tracked.

As a Canadian I'm completely unaware of any 3rd party apps that move money around without tracking. Stuff like that typically ends up being done via crypto.

eTransfers are ubiquitous for money, there's zero competition.

Makes me wonder which came first? What if people or specifically women who have fewer chronic illnesses tend to have better relationships instead?

One in a hundred is generous

If I can walk into a shop and buy it legally why would I bother dealing with shady drug dealers.

I've used medical dispensaries in FL and medical/recreational dispensaries in NJ. Never had an issue paying with my debit card.

I don't think this is a common belief

Again, not necessarily. If humans had the ability to space out children throughout their longer lifetimes, I think the population would remain pretty stable.

In North Carolina, not a legal state, stores are selling weed as THCA hemp. The 2018 farm bill legalized hemp products with less than .3% delta 9 THC. Weed usually has about 1-3 % delta 9 but that isn't really what's getting you high. Marijuana has high levels of THCA which turns into delta 9 when burned and that is what is getting you high. So growers have bred plants with high thcA and low delta 9. It is the greatest loophole ever. I buy real weed from the store with my credit card in North Carolina.

It took me several years to feel comfortable walking into a pot shop

Venmo and Cashapp do not operate in Canada

The study is about Canada
