I never can decide if Snoop Dogg is an evil genius who got away with it or if he's a great illustration that redemption can actually happen.

If the latter, we are most certainly approaching criminal justice the wrong way.

Before we talk about acquittals or dropped cases, I still feel pretty strongly that he was no angel when he was younger. Today he comes across as downright wholesome.

Age is strongly correlated with muting the effects of Cluster B personality disorders like ASPD that are associated with violence. It's not effective in all cases of course, as evidenced by Trump.

Yesterday I have read here that mr beast is a psychopath because „he has it in his eyes”, here another diagnosis. I see we have a full suite of experts

Snoop 'nothing but love and respect for donald trump' Dogg?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Looking at the context that seemed like he just wanted to end a feud he started by pointing a gun at an effigy of Trump in a 2017 music video

I think we have a winner. Unfortunately.

Very fitting for a US mascot; he's always in places you'd never expect him to be and totally got away with murder

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Always has been

I like to think he's just regularly commuting between Paris and Germany for the Legal Weed. Just commuting between Saarbrucken and Paris.

Just commuting between Saarbrucken and Paris.

Rolling down the street, smoking indo, sipping on mineral water because the Germans do not fuck around about alcohol and driving.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I was assuming he would be going by train on the TGV.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought he quit smoking weed?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

It ended up being a promo for a smokeless fire pit or some shit.

When there's the Thalys that can drop you in Amsterdam centraal? Don't think so!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Cannabis is de-facto decriminalized in Amsterdam and the netherlands, but it's not technically legal. They just won't arrest you for smoking it or having small amounts.

Weed is straight up legal in Germany. Like you can get a membership to a club and smoke to your heart's content. No "you won't get arrested but if you sell it you'll go to jail" thing. Also Saarbrucken is a shorter journey than Amsterdam from Paris (1 hr 50m vs 3hrs 30) by train.

But the Clubs where only allowed to start growing they supplys on 01.07.24, if they where lucky and the city not randomly decided to build a 4 squaremeter playground 50m away from them. So most of the current canabis that is around is still from illegal sources or from homegrowers and as a private person you are technical still not allowed to sell or even share it with other poeple, so if you visit me you have to bring your own.

Membership to a club? Just come to Canada. Buy top quality weed from any of our 100% legal stores and then go smoke it when and where you want!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Listen, I live in the UK and weed decriminalization is almost as far off as weed legalization here. I am jealous of the Germans.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Paris to Canada by train is too much of a hassle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Not in Quebec, you have to be over 21, you can't grow it in your yard, you have to buy it from shitty gov stores that aren't allowed to tell you anything about the actual products and you can't smoke it in most public places.

We're lucky at least that Montreal is Montreal and we can do mostly what we want without being harassed by the pigs but our provincial government is a conservative trash pile that desperately needs to go.

I love how people are memeing the Olympics so hard this year. Or maybe I'm just in different circles now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Are we? I'm not really into sports so I've barely seen any.

Except for that Turkish shooter. I know that one.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I think it's also largely caused by the majority of olympians being gen z for the first time (and it not being overshadowed by that one certain thing like the last olympics).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why are you saying this like Gen Z invented the meme?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They were born in it. Molded by it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They don't make the memes. The memes made them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I knew a dude when working at Amazon whos parent met because of fucking hamster dance. He was literally made by a meme.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

You get a few every Olympics, but it goes harder some years than others.
