I’m doing my part by buying pornographic magazines and distributing them at local schools. I tried handing out flash drives, but the kids had too much training against plugging in a drive of unknown origin to prevent against malware. Analog porn is also sorta retro, so that’s fun.
/it’s a joke, stupid
God damn it, you had me up until the end. I was rooting for you at first, but now I'm just disappointed.
youre supposed to buy smut and put it under a rock in a tree stump in the woods, as is traditional
Speaking of. Why aren’t you potheads flinging truckloads of seeds along the nation’s roads and highways?! We should be neck-deep in high-quality ditchweed at every corner by now!
And another thing! How come I can’t get no Tang around here?
Because it's not the 2000s anymore. Legal weed is already easily obtainable in over half the country, and no one wants to smoke ditchweed. We've all moved on to concentrates. Even if you still smoke buds, you can't even find seeds in the bag anymore. These days you have to go out of your way to obtain them, and nobody is going to bother with that.
There's also the fact that stoner culture is dead. People have finally come to the realization that it's possible to smoke weed without making it your entire personality. The whole stoner stereotype isn't really a thing anymore. We've moved onto other things.
Bruh. Harsh.
Huh? What was "harsh" about my comment? You asked a question—and as someone who smokes weed every day—I felt qualified to answer it, so I did. What is the issue? (edit: Is it because I speak in a straightforward, manner-of-fact way?)
Oh, sorry. Just riffing on the stoner thing. Nah, you’re good. Thanks for the added take.
I don't get it, but okay.
I digress; you're welcome.
I haven't seen a seed in like 15 years and I smoke all the time!
No shit. Well, I guess that would explain it then.
