There was a study in British Columbia around 2017 or so where they gave brain damaged rats some super potent form of THC in massive quantities and those rats reprogrammed and rewired their brain damaged brains while the control group did not.

Last summer through fall I restarted drinking after nearly a decade of very light occassional drinking, about 12 or more ipa's a day, two hearted ipa and a local one.

Roomate was cool but drank a liter of scotch a day, happy drunk though, both of us. Worst he did was exitedly tell or play things for you he had previously, especially of his glory days.

I previously quit for a decade almost completely, drinking like you a couple here and there, by restarting running distance, also using kratom to help get started until the endorphins take over.

Physical exertion and alcohol do not go well together, I wanted to go running not drink.

I restarted drinking homebrew by choice just last year. Working on maple wines and other herb infused drinks, with syrup I make, until I start malting barley and growing hops to make ipa. But I do not get falling down drunk and am happy regardless but I choose to get buzzed lately if at home, I may mostly transition to traditional herbals soon though.

Is this a known medical condition, alcohol intolerance?

I know enzymes in the body break down and remove it, and certain people genetically have more or less depending.

Cultures that have been drinking for thousands of years have more of the enzymes, those that just started have way less like the natives in america and I think australia but idk on that. Basically the entire old world has more of the alcohol metabolizing enzymes from eurasia to africa. Not sure of inuits and far northern tribes but if they milked animals in prehistory they probably fermented milk for kefir.

Also women metabolize alcohol less than men due to these enzymes.

So the same amount of alcohol can have wildly more or less pronounced inebriation even before taking tolerance into account.

The disillusioned faction would be with us if we had a strong reform ticket.

She is a true believer, meaning she can turn against party.

There is this with Epstein and admitting it is Israeli blackmail which it is, she is against geoengineering now, like spraying sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to cool the Earth, she was against the war with Iran, and she called out the genocide against Palestine. By the scorecard she's doing a lot better than a lot of these Democrats.

She gets no credit for it saying she did not notice the bill she signed gave AI 10 years free from State interference, it is her job to know and she has teams to know that, and she voted for it again after the Senate got through with it.

Still though credit where it is due.

Typical. Your position is not supported so you resort to ad hominems.

A casino where the high rollers get bailed out in big losses by both parties now, just a few more trillions on the credit card and zero interest loans via the fed every time a big crash happens.

How much pretend wealth exists as measured by recent trades of stock.

It is divorced from reality and fundamentals and the intrinsic value is a fraction of market caps.

The indexes measure investor confidence in future stock price movements.

The dow that can be measured is not the eternal dow.

Typical partisans ignoring that by being the status quo r's run as reform and win.

This is establishment propaganda to justify them staying in control despite 3 shit show elections in a row.

Biden was the wrong leader, and until you admit that we are doomed to r rule.

Except it is too late now.
