CBD itself shouldn’t cause anxiety, however CBD oils can vary a lot in terms of the cannabinoids they contain.

Full spectrum oils can contain very small amounts of THC, although not enough that it becomes psychoactive for the majority of people. However, it is possible that people with an acute sensitivity to THC might start to feel some effects.

Broad spectrum oils specifically contain 0% THC, so those are the ones to go for if you want to rule out the possibility of reacting to any THC in the oil.

The Chinese-owned Geely group owns Volvo

I mean, they’re not wrong.

Toyota builds its cars in multiple different countries, but it’s still a Japanese company.

Great performance, and a very timely speech, given the current situation in the US:

Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation,

What country, by the nature of your error,
Should give you harbour? go you to France or Flanders

Why, you must needs be strangers: would you be pleased
To find a nation of such barbarous temper,
That, breaking out in hideous violence,
Would not afford you an abode on earth,
Whet their detested knives against your throats,
Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God
Owed not nor made not you, nor that the elements
Were not appropriate to your comforts,
But chartered unto them, what would you think
To be thus used? this is the strangers’ case;
And this your mountainish inhumanity."

The actual problem is far bigger than Trump; It’s the corporate duopoly masquerading as a democracy that created the conditions necessary for the rise of Trump and the MAGA movement in the first place.

Microdosing really just refers to taking sub-perceptual amounts of a given substance. It equally applies to things like THC and LSD as it does to shrooms.

Perhaps we are talking at cross purposes.

I thought it was pretty clear that we were discussing what would happen if the US/Israel overthrew the regime like they did in 1953 and install a modern-day equivalent of the Shah. I wasn’t talking about an actual, grassroots revolution.

I’m sorry, but are you new here?

Surely I don’t have to explain to you how a regime change orchestrated by the US/Israel would necessarily result in a puppet state.

I’m not sure how you’ve come to that conclusion. Aside from Iran’s nuclear development ambitions, which is seen as an existential threat by Israel, Iran has been directly bankrolling both Hamas and Hezbollah for decades.

If the regime were toppled and replaced by a moderate government more open to negotiating with the US/Israel (which would almost certainly be the case, since US/Israel would be the ones picking who ran the new regime), that would be an enormous geopolitical win for Washington.

Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) says it has so far confirmed the killing of at least 6,159 people since the unrest began, including 5,804 protesters, 92 children and 214 people affiliated with the government. It is also investigating 17,000 more reported deaths.

Not wishing to diminish the severity of the situation in Iran, but it’s worth nothing that these numbers come from HRANA, a US government backed NGO, and the organization has been very cagey about its sources and how it verifies its death toll figures.

There are also those within Iran who are accusing US/Israel funded agitators of being largely behind the escalation in violence. Both nations would clearly benefit from regime change, and this wouldn’t be the first time this type of operation has been carried out by US/Israeli agents.

With the information blackout, it’s ultimately very difficult to verify either way.

My thoughts exactly, with maybe a sprinkling of Al Capone:

“Left” does not always entail a big, centralized government.

For example, anarchists advocate for self-organized, decentralized communities and federations based on voluntary cooperation.

And the end goal of Communism was essentially the same thing.

By the way, did you see what the Vanity Fair photographer did to him on the last White House photo shoot? It’s a stroke of editorial genius:

There are many ETFs that offer broad diversification into international markets. Most US brokerages offer their own mutual funds for international equities as well.

There is much disagreement over the optimum ratio of US-to-international equities, but unless you’re a hardcore US exceptionalist, anywhere between 20-40% of your equity portfolio should be ex-US, according to most researchers.

What’s the benefit of using this over an existing emulator (e.g. Mupen)?

Maybe they’ve updated their security policies? Could be to prevent users from installing unapproved software via winget, etc.

I have definitely never done that myself, if anyone asks …

That’s definitely an issue with your IT department. My work Windows laptop came with the terminal accessible.
