I work alongside police occasionally, and they really don't care about enforcing weed laws at all. The ones I've spoken to about it say the only time they charge people for possession is as an add-on charge when they've been arrested for something more serious. This is going to vary widely by police department, though

I've done couple's therapy, and the idea of completing couple's therapy through text message is just really unappealing. Show me the study that compares a chatbot to IRL psychotherapy outcomes. There's just so much to account for...body language, hesitations, facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, and more.

"Global" in the sense meaning broad in scope. In this case, not spending money anywhere for those of us in the US.

But who's going to harvest the vegetables?

Who tf is using LinkedIn for content? As a networking platform, it's pretty useful. But I also have never searched keywords looking for my profile or paid for premium, because why would you do either

Yes, that's exactly what Sheinbaum is saying

Did you see Sheinbaum "pretend Mexico's corridors of power aren't drenched in cartel bribes" somewhere? She seems to fully understand that based on what I've seen from her. What she said here is an accurate observation aimed directly at Trump in an effort to counter his persistent vilification of her country, no more no less.

Yes there are lots of beautiful women in prison wanting to exchange letters with you. Didn't you know that? And when they ask you to send gift cards, it's definitely only because they love you

I have to disagree on your view of local government responsibility somewhat. Here in the US, at least, people experiencing homelessness often flee or are pushed out of rural and suburban areas and go to urban areas with access more resources, creating a disproportionate burden for cities. It's becoming difficult to keep up with the influx. The issue is, unfortunately, a national and state one that needs to be addressed at those levels.

What, the interest? You lose that money, default or not.

We're entering a new era where our national security is significantly reduced. Tulsi Gabbard is a Science of Identity cult adherent who has no internal political compass and is probably compromised. It's just really hard to fathom what the Republican party has become to approve of this nomination.
