Lol, there have been several studies on Snoop Dogg’s weed smoking?
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 3 days ago:
Snoop’s stupid comments here? I don’t think we can blame the weed for that.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
The vast majority are, it’s not a secret.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
Grandson, listen close as I impart this important wisdom I’ve accumulated in my time:
Smoke weed everyday.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
Why? He wasn’t paid to say this stupid shit.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
Yeah, he wasn’t who I was looking to for political takes, lol. Now if I need someone to show me how to smoke 10 blunts, that’s different.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
Wouldn’t it only be hypocrisy if the issues in question were more closely related? Like if, in the past, Snoop had two women making out in a music video or something. But even that wouldn’t have been intended for kids.
Not defending, his stance is asinine.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
I think Snoop is being a dumbass here (like I did when he went to Trump’s inauguration party) but this is a bad argument. He didn’t make the music for young children.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
I don’t know if hypocrisy is the right term. Maybe in as extremely broad sense but then it starts to lose its meaning.

you wanna buy some CDs?
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
“Good guy”? We just knew him as an occasionally musician and mega-stoner. Not many people calling him an actual hero.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
He made adult music knowing it would be listened to by children.
Snoop deserves criticism for this and his Trump inauguration appearance, but this is a deeply stupid criticism that can be made about literally any entertainer.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
I don’t give a fuck if they don’t “like” it. They have zero problem exposing kids to heterosexual relationships.
What’s “triggered” about opposing that illogical, hypocritical bullshit?
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 4 days ago:
Surely, scary topics that must never be mentioned!

if we’re talking one-off transactions, this is no problem. You simply get enough crypto for your purchase and spend it. You don’t invest all of your money in it and you can circumvent the Visa/Mastercard garbage.
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 4 weeks ago:
While that makes sense to logical people, there is a rabid right-wing movement in the US that in intent on defining any acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ is inherently “sexual”.
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 4 weeks ago:
And how is casually referring to heterosexual relationships then not sexual?
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 4 weeks ago:
I assume it doesn’t say because there are games with LGBTQ+ content that is sexual and ones where it is not.

“The internet has no borders. Women and girls everywhere are impacted by male violence against women and misogyny in general which we believed these games perpetuated,” she said.
Yet the fictional violence against men and boys is A-Ok!

The shibboleth in question
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. Free speech protects what you say from the government, not your employer. Your employer ALSO has free speech, meaning they can decide what can and can’t be said on their property.
This is like saying Sesame Street doesn’t show hardcore porn and that’s a violation of free speech.

Oh so the thing that HASN’T HAPPENED is your counterargument?

Name it.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
“Free speech” doesn’t entitle you to dictate policy over privately held companies. We spent four years trying to convince Trumpers of this. Be smarter.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
Why is this downvoted? It correctly point out what “free speech” actually means.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
His free speech was never infringed. He can say what he wants and not be prosecuted for it. Whether or not he has a job isn’t covered by the First Amendment.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
Wrong. It opposed Naziism and Soviet Union misinformation. Since then it’s been a standard journalism outlet that, by law, could not be dictated by US politicians.
