I spend a lot of time reading incredibly engaging and useful content on reddit (web/official app) these days.
Both were accidents I made while a newb biker, I became a lot more "seasoned" after these two events and became a way more defensive biker
The guy had pulled up so close to my back wheel, and then "forgot" I was there. When the green turned, he immediately impacted my back wheel.
I was able to exit the bike in the brief second between that tap and when he seriously hit the gas. My bike proceeded to be crushed by the semi along with all my electronics in my bag strapped to the back. I was so lucky to get off the bike (admittedly I was incensed that someone had bumped me and I was about to get into a fight with the person), if I had tried to stay on that bike I would've definitely died!
Kamala was saying that if the only person telling her she should get vaccinated was Donald Trump, then no, she would not take it.
The (very clear) implication is that she would prefer that people who actually know what they are talking about (i.e. virologists, doctors, nurses, scientists, the FDA, the CDC, NIH...etc) recommends getting the vaccine, then she would get it enthusiastically.
Is this really too hard to understand or are you really trying to use this extremely flimsy argument to accuse her of hypocrisy?
The whole anecdote that weed is _exceptionally_ stronger than it used to be in the past is not well proven. In the 70's people were alleging weed is 20x stronger than in the 60s, in the 80s alleging it was 7x stronger than in the 70s. In the 90's alleging it was 40x stronger than the 80s. And so on. People repeat it because someone goes from cold turkey to sucking down a huge toke from a vape pen in 2021 and get high as balls, not taking into account they probably vaped the equivalent of a whole joint in one action.
Its a trope that's never been born out by any real data.
