Welcome to my world as a Gen X'r it gets really bad. We have tag team rapping about ice cream in insurance commercials.

I go to this: Washington DC - late night club area

Yeah I see lamar in bandages limping around b-more blood dripping from wounds all the time. Get a grip guys the guy hasnt even missed one season worth of games.

I live in Baltimore so I have probably seen most of Lamar's games. I get the concerns I am not dismissing them but the guy is a clear undeniable talent and deserves a hard look. He is still young and he can become more disciplined while staying exciting. People in this thread have said he is basically good for half a season and for only a few more years..that line is bullypucky to me.

The guy is 26 years old. How are people straight face acting like he is towards the end of his prime. I like the OP am not saying the shade he is getting here.

Yeah Joe Buck and his hot huddle take. really glad to see a bit of encouraging news tonight.

https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/02/04/native-mascots-survey/ Contrary to polls showing that relatively few Native Americans take offense at the Washington Redskins’ name, a new UC Berkeley study has found that at least half of more than 1,000 Native Americans surveyed are offended by the football team’s 87-year-old moniker and Native mascots in general. The results are particularly timely in the face of Native American protests against caricatures of their culture, including the tomahawk chop — performed by fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, who won Sunday’s Super Bowl — and other sports teams with Native American monikers. The study’s findings, published in the journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science, show that the degree to which those surveyed identified as Native American influenced how offensive they found Native mascots. Of those polled for the study, 57% who strongly identify with being Native American and 67% of those who frequently engage in tribal cultural practices were found to be deeply insulted by caricatures of Native American culture. Overall, the results suggest the controversy over the use of Native representations, such as chief headdresses, war cries and the tomahawk chop, is far from over. “We keep seeing clear examples of Native people speaking up and protesting these problematic team names and mascots. Yet, public opinion polls, with little methodological transparency, say that Native people are not offended. Things just don’t add up,” said study co-lead author Arianne Eason, a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology. Eason and University of Michigan psychologist Stephanie Fryberg launched the study last fall in response to what they deemed as “yet another questionable opinion survey” about the Redskins’ name. For example, a 2019 web-based survey of 500 self-identified Native Americans that was reported in The Washington Post found that 68% of those polled were not offended by the Washington Redskins’ name. Among other things, it asked respondents to identify whether the Redskins’ name made them feel proud, disappointed, empowered, embarrassed, appreciative or hopeless. Moreover, a 2016 Washington Post survey found that nine in 10 Native Americans polled claimed not to be bothered by the moniker. It was a telephone survey of 504 self-identified Native Americans, and the results are said to have influenced the decision of team owner Daniel Snyder to retain the Redskins’ name. “The data from previous opinion polls is often used to silence Native people,” said Fryberg, a member of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington, in Washington state. “But our study, which captures a broad diversity of Native peoples and experiences, shows high rates of opposition. As researchers and consumers of information, we need to be very careful about whose voices we claim to be representing.” Eason and Fryberg’s study is estimated to be the most large-scale investigation to date of the relationship between Native American identity and attitudes towards Native mascots. The researchers recruited more than 1,000 self-identified adult Native Americans representing 50 states and 148 tribes using the Qualtrics online survey platform. The cohort varied widely in age, gender, socio-economic status, level of education, political ideology, tribal affiliation and Native American political and cultural involvement. On a scale of 1 to 7, study participants were asked to disagree or agree with a selection of statements, some of which were adapted from the 2016 Washington Post poll. For example, they were asked to agree or disagree with statements such as, “I think the term ‘redskin’ is respectful to Native Americans,” “I find it offensive when sports fans wear chief headdresses at sporting events” and “When sports fans chant the tomahawk chop, it bothers me.” Overall, 49% of participants in the UC Berkeley study were found to strongly agree or agree that the Washington Redskins’ name is offensive, while 38% were not bothered by it. The remainder were undecided or indifferent. However, the number of those offended rose for study participants who were heavily engaged in their native or tribal cultures (67%), young people (60%) and people with tribal affiliations such as members of federally recognized tribes (52%).

The name has been growing on me. I agree.

A work in progress. Realizing it takes about 2 hrs to “hit” and both nights took more after the 1st hour. Looking for a good mild feeling right before bed. going to do a half of 25 tonight and take it earlier and see how that plays out.

I appreciate this thread. Haven’t messed with any mj in 20 years but was looking into some edible options to break a few bourbon a nights habit to help me sleep. just grabbed some 25mg delta 8 gummies going to try it out tonight. Thinking a half gummy to start?

Did you have a former name? Your choice of name makes you appear to be a at the moment alt.

sounds like the OP was talking to you.

Yup. The protocols are a bitch and the liability he was causing was not worth further investment.
