One month in and still unsure whether we're looking at a decade-week summer, the summer of Kamala or just maybe a classic white boy summer? What's it gonna be?

Two years after Ratimir Poopin' personally invaded The Ukraine, Germany legalizes marihuana in a desperate attempt to shore up stoner support for democracy.

Hard to convey how big this is - sure, smoking weed has become as normalized here as anywhere else in the west, then again the repercussions for doing it are at least theoretically quite insane, like for example you automatically lose your drivers license for 6 months if you're caught DUI with any amount of cannabis in your piss.

The legalization itself is very German: it's 180+ pages of legalese, you have to register with a "smoking club" where you grow and share your weed among club members, 500 members per club max, no public or pharmacy dispensaries, no smoking within 500 yards of any school, playground or kindergarten, buying on the black market is still technically illegal and so is stashing more than 40 grams per adult... you know, rules-based stuff.

But at least it's mostly legal now, cops can't take it away any more and you won't get into legal trouble. Oh, I mean as soon as the lower house passes the bill, but they kinda have to apparently. I think this is the first time that I'm actually kinda happy about my government.

But it will get old real fast I bet.

Wow, interesting choice going with Germany for COTW. Might do an effort post or two on this weird country later since I'm old enough to, uhm, speak with some authority on the subject. Have to figure out my password first though in order to log in on my PC cause I ain't writing several paragraphs on my damn phone.

Like Donald Trump used to say, stay tuned!

Pointing out the bill of the hat, the Snopes article then accused the construction worker of being the one wearing the hard hat wrong, rather than that Biden wore the hardhat backwards as shown in the photos of him wearing it backwards.

Fact-checking in a nutshell

No brakes on this train, Mr. President!

A ferry carrying Germany's minister of economics Robert Habeck (Green party, a Russia-hater, former children's book author and general total idiot) back from his vacation was attacked by angry famers who are set to lose subsidies due to new austerity measures. (which, you guessed it, is mostly due to the immense strains of the Ukraine war that Germany so desperately wanted to lead)

Apparently they blocked the ferry bridge, tried to storm the ferry and set off firecrackers. They had to re-route the ferry. Supposedly there's video on X (formerly Twitter) but I'm too lazy and drugged up to search for.

This is going to be a wild year for Germany.

The U.S. literally hasn't declared war since WW2

Well they declared war on drugs.

Never forget that the Army wants its own much larger fleet of Ospreys. We're talking about the V280 Valor, they want to replace all Blackhawks with those starting in 2030.

A thousand Ospreys! Unlimited crashes! Endless VTOL genocide!

Sir, a second Georgia has broken from our Soviet motherland!

so i just told him that Galicia belongs to the poles and left.

"You must be a capitalist by the time you're 40" is just equivalent to

I doubt there are any real human posters here.

Well, we're certainly different from the humans you seem to be used to, my lib dude.
