    I was citing the original article where it’s stated. It says it’s increased to match the tolerance of the people who consume 2/3rds of the product not some nonsensical fantasy it’s being done to make it easier to ship.

    Well I'm in the UK but people have been smoking the same amounts for the past ~15 years when grass became popular. Before then it was much denser 'soapbar' hash. Grass is a lot harder to smuggle and takes up more volume so it's not being driven by that.

    Those responsible for 2/3 of consumption have had their tolerance pushed up by rising THC levels the past 15 years, but they're still buying the same amounts every month. The inbalance between THC/CBD is also causing a lot more anxiety and psychiatric symptoms to emerge and pushing people away from it.

    I believe there's some efforts in legal states to move away from the high-THC strains causing these issues, so you're right that the illegality is ultimately causing these terrible practices.

    What? But the volume is the same. It’s not like people are buying smaller amounts they’re just smoking stronger stuff.

    Best way to balance this is to buy some cbd bud and mix it in to return it to healthier levels.

    Dogs are omnivores like us and can do fine on a plant based diet. Sometimes even recommended for health reasons for dogs with anal gland issues.

    Cats are a bit more complex but require taurine. Modern mass produced cat food is supplemented with synthetic taurine anyway so there isn’t much difference.

    Bsky is more twitter like and less confusing than mastodon.

    Bsky is federated too.

    Just bridge them all together. Threads and nostr too. Then everyone can use what they want.

    32% of autistic people are employed.

    Which is wild to me because every autistic person I know is employed. (Some in tech, some in soul destroying call centre jobs; but everyone works). Most of them are AuADHD though and stats for ADHD are much better (70% employed)

    Republicans. Of course the dems will win. Republicans haven't won the popular vote in 20 years. Kids aren't getting more conservative as they age anymore, their base is dying off and they accelerated it with covid denialism.

    They're cooked.

    The right does not hate Jews anymore. I work in a right space and it’s amazing how they all became zionists overnight. You still get anti semites of course but they are fringe.

    Tommy Robinson said he’d fight in a war for Israel and has strong connections to Israel. United over a common enemy.

    It also takes on more asylum seekers than any other council, and Scotland as a whole takes on more refugees per capita.

    "However, across the whole of the UK, only 1,960 refugees were brought to Britain through the scheme during 2020 and 2021 – meaning Scotland’s share totalled 13 per cent, well above the population share of 8.15 per cent."

    https://www.gov.scot/publications/universal-periodic-review-2022-scottish-government-position-statement/pages/14/#:~:text=As of 11 July 2022,the Scottish super sponsor scheme.

    "As of 11 July 2022 a total of 21,256 visas have been issued naming a Scottish sponsor – more than 20% of the UK total, and the highest number per head of population in the UK. Scotland is currently providing sanctuary for over 7,000 people, two-thirds of whom applied under the Scottish super sponsor scheme. This exceeds the 3,000 the Scottish Government committed to welcome when the scheme launched in March."

    Are there any studies on the Overton window and if it’s affects are real or more specifically relevant to leftist ideals?

    Everything I’ve found on it indicates it’s a useful tool for shifting the political conversation towards more authoritarian rule but there is nothing in it being used to shift towards progressivism.

    1. Application in Media and Leftist Governments: A study on leftist governments in Latin America examines how these regimes engage in media activism and discourse regulation, potentially shifting the Overton Window to accommodate progressive and populist policies. The research suggests that leftist governments actively work to influence public discourse, challenging the binary distinctions of populist and non-populist left, and highlights the role of institutional and structural constraints in shaping these efforts (Kitzberger, 2010).

    2. Adversarial Co-Production: Recent research discusses breaking the Overton Window in the context of policy co-production in the UK, particularly in "left-behind" communities targeted for progressive policies like basic income. This study outlines how transformative policies, often seen as outside the Overton Window, can be brought into the realm of public acceptability through adversarial co-production, which involves engaging opponents of evidence-based policy to shift public opinion (Johnson et al., 2023).
