I’ll start:

Idaho - when people think “racism in the United States” their minds go to the Deep South. The Deep South is absolutely pretty bad, and there’s of course the whole history with the confederacy so it makes sense that’s what we think of, but Idaho is let off the hook way too much given that it’s a hotbed of Nazis and Christian nationalists trying to form a white ethnostate. Idaho needs to be more closely linked to virulent racism like the Deep South currently is. And tbh I’ve been to the Deep South, I like it down there, it’s actually pretty diverse in many areas, if I had to live there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You couldn’t pay me to set foot in Idaho.

Gen X - look, if we’re gonna do generational warfare gen x needs a lot more hate. Sorry to any xers out there but boomers have been punching bags for a while, millenials are starting to get a good amount of hate, and they’ve always been made fun of for their Harry Potter and office love, tbh a lot of millennial shit is just considered cringe these days, gen z obviously gets all the “ugh what’s wrong with the youth” hate and this new media cycle has them being portrayed as pretty much the new hitler youth. Gen x needs to start getting some more hate, especially now with all these weird gen x venture capitalists influencing the trump admin trying to realize their vision of a neo fascist network state

Tripping on DXM. This drug is the OTC poison of choice for desperate teenagers, and that unfortunately gives it a very bad reputation.

But DXM is actually one of the safer hallucinogens out there so long as you get a DXM only product and don't mix it with certain other drugs. It's definitely the closest thing to Ketamine you can buy at walmart or amazon, that's for sure. Highly recommend that one.

edit: read the title backwards on this one, this gets more hate than it deserves haha

Gives me an insane histamine response. Like massive itching/hives.

I had that happen to me a couple times on freebase DXM but never on HBr. Was it a large dose, high plateau trip?

I will never forget doing a cross country road trip with my friend from Canada who had never been to the US, and as we cross the border from Idaho to Montana, and we're stopped at a light and he turns to me with a complete straight face and says, bewildered, "So Idaho is not a real place right?"
