You're just making assumptions. It costs as much as the ones at corner stores and smoke shops pre-packed with weed and cleans real easy with a q-tip. It's re-usable. Cleaned and disposed is fully recyclable. And made from a renewable material. I've been using mine for like 8 months now, thus saving me from buying rolling papers made from non-renewable sources.
But as the OP said: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. If you don't like that then do something about it more than starting arguments in stoner subreddits.

"[E]xamples of faithful monogamy among birds prove nothing about man, for the simple reason that men are not descended from birds. And if strict monogamy is the height of all virtue, then the palm must go to the tapeworm, which has a complete set of male and female sexual organs in each of its 50-200 proglottides, or sections, and spends its whole life copulating in all its sections with itself." - Engels, Origin of Private Property, Family, and The State

Trevor relentlessly mocked rich, powerful, elitist, snobs, ivory tower, capitalists, politicians, etc. TMZ writers and producers identify with everything Trevor mocked.

How these trolls go viral:
They fake a publicity stunt.
The attention and comments are negative "I hope he dies".
Use these comments to prove the enemies you made up really hate you.
"sO mUcH fOr ThE tOlErAnT lEfT"
A new wave of people who didn't know Milo chime into the discussions, validated that someone is more right-wing than them, and he accrues more funding for the Conversion Therapy facility he's building off of the free advertising

Even though Elonis is kinda psycho it sucks that the conviction was reinstated over this. In essence we don't have free speech, even to paraphrase the sketch. In the eyes of the court it wasn't legal for "Trevor" to say it but for the venue or broadcast entity which 'published' the comedy art piece. So it's okay to joke on a show, but not on social media. It's okay to sing lyrics to song as a performance, but not to break into song or post them on social media.
I guess that's what we get for using hundreds year old rules written by high af gangstas to dictate our conduct on social media.

Whether or not you support the military, and what they do, this is stupid and wasteful on a thousand levels. Good idea not to include the restaurant's name, I can't imagine what their google reviews say.

Not. Even. Old. Enough. To. Drink. Where did they die? A DRY COUNTRY.

And if the Taliban are progressive then how is "Neckbeard" an insult?

This is the one that got mentioned in the newspaper article interview and Trevor was disappointed Larson kinda stole the idea.

"Larson's admiration may have gone a little too far, people in Moore's camp think. One particular cartoon in Moore's book showed a dam made up of teeth with water running through the gap. The cartoon was called ``The David Letterman Dam,'' a take-off on another one of Moore's heroes. That cartoon was published on May 26, 1994.
Later that year, on Dec. 12, Larson, in one of his last ``Far Side'' cartoons, published a panel depicting a couple standing in a lookout point admiring ``Letterman Falls,'' a row of blocks, like a dam, with a waterfall gushing out the gap"

Maybe you could google yourself and stop projecting meaning where it isn't
*Nearly all of the Taliban's original leadership previously fought in the Soviet-Afghan War for either the Hezb-i Islami Khalis or Harakat-i Inqilab-e Islami factions of the Mujahideen*.
The Taliban *formed* in the 80s. It was Organized and official by the 90s.
Uh, b-b-b-b-b-ut-actually! I can't tell if your neckbeard is for Allah or Arrogance, but your self-righteousness is showing.

Suicide is a natural response to stress outweighing coping resources. It's this very stigma that promotes suicide and attacks the victims as well as survivors.

The only actual way to consciously, and rationally kill oneself is to intentionally starve to death because any other method is a lapse of judgement in a state of crisis. A suicide victim is a person who was murdered by demons in their own head and doesn't deserve the blame. Every ounce of blame is only tragic justification for the act when what's needed is compassion.

I wouldn't celebrate if the Taliban overthrew a McDonald's. Reminds me of evangelicals declaring we should be thankful because it could always be worse. Well it ain't calvanism to say: Nah, fuck all of these oppressors.

"During the U.S. military occupation of Afghanistan, the U.S. and the Taliban, whom the Western “Left” are calling anti-imperialists and cheering for, have made a great many agreements with the U.S. over the past decade. This should come as no surprise as the Taliban were originally formed and allied with the U.S. in the 80’s against the then social-imperialist Soviet Union who thought it would bring socialism to Afghanistan through invasion. During these years, the U.S. and Taliban worked together towards the death of thousands of innocent people."

Here's how I got my name: when I was like 12 I read a book called "Magician Apprentice" by Raymond E. Feist and the main character was "Milamber" but when I tried it as a screen name it was taken, a friend suggested "Milambitus" and I shortened it. That's it.I wish this were a conspiracy. I wish Trevor were here, able to chime in. But I'm just some 30-something dude in the midwest sitting at a keyboard mourning my favorite comedian. Honestly. I've just been thinking a lot about this so I have a lot of words to add to the noise.Alternatively: My Grandmother was a curandera and I channeled Trevor's ghost from the great beyond to interpret a message of peace and love to everyone from him.

You're right.
The pathetic part is how being lonely is just one more thing to have in common with other people so it shouldn't take the death of an artist for people to come together over their shared passions.

Agreed. I don't know if it's some primal morbid curiosity or just for a sense of closure, still keeping my eyes open on the wiki etc. I think the stream gave me at least some closure in the humor though.
