webb exposed the fact that the dea/cia was getting information from some narcos who were smuggling drugs into the states, and that a dea or cia operative squashed a few charges for those narcos.

he never even claimed that “the cia is smuggling drugs into inner cities” or that there was a plot to addict americans to drugs.

i’m an anti-drug war leftist who has no love for the government, but the whole webb story is so blown out of proportion on the internet it’s become a fairytale.

Sure there are individual differences, but males and females are different classes when it comes to athletic performance. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/4vcxd0/almost_all_men_are_stronger_than_almost_all_women/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x The average male is much stronger than the average female. It’s a bell curve, and these difference are more pronounced when you compare the extreme ends of the bell curves, where the athletes reside.

As of a year ago, there have only been 34 WNBA dunks ever (24 by Brittany Griner). Meanwhile, 5’7” Spud Webb dunked over 7’7” Manute Bol.

My sheriff is that asshole you saw with the big ass hat that was on Tucker Carlson. He got rid of the narcan in my county (Butler county Ohio, between Cincinnati and Dayton) at the peak of the opiate crisis. This is one of those kind of people. Scared everyone to death and in the same breath told us our neighbors and family members don't deserve to be saved. We lost hundreds of people, I lost my best friend. This shit is no threat to normal people, but anyone who so much as takes a pill they aren't sure about is at risk of death. Asshole also fought against any and all rehab facilities, made sure there were few resources to actually fight this issue. It's a political tool, a scare tactic. But when it comes to actually fixing the problem they chose to sweep it under the rug. We've got college kids overdosing on bad Adderall, but there's this "the junkies get what they deserve" sentiment hanging around. It's all theater, a big political fucking circus
