That being said it bears reminding that pragmatism--and adherence to the lesser evil--are in themselves principles.

I never said that. I said that would be the moral thing, but in the name of pragmatism, we'd have to be immoral and condemn an innocent man.

but I guess keep bringing this up incessantly in the future anyway lol
You do realise morality is about what we should do? If you're saying we should condemn an innocent man in the name of pragmatism, and then claiming the opposite is actually the moral choice, you don't fully understand the terms of your own argument.
No, it's not. Morality is about what's the right thing to do. Sometimes you have to do evil, fucked up shit. That necessity doesn't make it right.
Except we don't have the luxury of always doing the (hypothetical) first-best option. Given that morality is about the right thing to do--which is literally exactly the same as saying what we should do--in a given situation it seems rather useless to constrict it to merely the study of principles.

Example: even 20 years ago homosexuality was a complete taboo. Homosexuals were routinely attacked and persecuted. Yet today they can marry and be open on who they are. Their attackers are demonized. Last night's shooting even 20 years ago would have barely been page 3 news.
Uh, what?

If morality is objective, it's a corollary that people can be wrong about it. All you've done is demonstrate that there are differing opinions of morality, not that these differing opinions are legitimate. If I held up a creationist as an example of cosmology being subjective you'd rightfully laugh me out of this thread.

if he had said something like "how would you keep your man if you couldn't cook," i doubt most women would say "sex"
Every woman who has experience with men would immediately reply "sex" if cooking were off the table.

you may was well commit suicide if you have cancer due to the debt you're going to be in from treatment.
Since ACA it's no longer possible for people to go bankrupt solely from medical bills. The outcomes of the U.S. system, while very good, are let down by its structure and organisation. With that said, it's still moving in the right direction.

- Larry Niven's Ringworld (rereading this one).

What's it like? I've considered reading it because of how influential it was to the early Halo media for Bungie. Is it good?
It's very good. Definitely worth picking up.

Edit: apparently bongs call em spliffs too.
I know yanks don't roll with tobacco; I wasn't sure if spliff is a well-known term there. Everybody here rolls with tobacco anyway, unless literally nobody has some, so joint has just come to be synonymous with spliff.

Plus there's only so many times you can say spliff or zoot in one post.

If my whole attention is devoted to it? A few days.

On average? A week or two. Recently? Very long, I haven't managed to find the time for reading this year.

I'm currently reading:
- Larry Niven's Ringworld (rereading this one).
- Seldon and Snowdon's Cameron at 10 (rereading this one too).
- Niall Ferguson's Empire.
- Roger Bootle's The Trouble With Europe.

One-two rips is comparable to a whole joint or very likely even more.
While I have no doubt this is true, bongs absolutely destroy your throat.

why do americans find it weird to put tobacco in a spiff? i always do it because the dude who showed me how to roll said it burns better if you mix a little tobacco with it.

Yeah man; plus the zoot lasts longer if you add tobacco.

Yo So dis here be uh tutorial on rolling joints. It's fine ass simple once you git da hang o' it. ah don' know how much chronic you use in joints; ah usually roll two zoots from uh benz (or dime bag). ah also use uh fair bit o' tobacco. So size iz variable.

Yeah, Irish wanted uh tutorial an' Dan wanted uh video tutorial, but fuq dat.

First things first, you need ta make uh roach. ah usually gank tips or somethin` from da swapmeet, or just cannibalise da green card from da back o' some long rizla (as above). Fold part o' it ova an' rip it off.

Place da card in da webbing between yo' thumb an' forefinger an' rub until it iz floppy.

Next you need ta take yo' rizla an' place da roach at whichever end you feel iz most comfortable. ah'm left-handed, so ah gots da roach on da left-hand side; it's easier ta roll.

Next you need ta git yo' tobacco.

Spread some along da rizla. You can use as much or as little as you please, just as long as its enough ta form uh snake down da rizla, simply ta he`p it burn. You could also mix it in wif da ground chronic--or grind it wif da chronic--an' then place da mixture on da rizla. Tobacco, however, ain't strictly necessary.

Next you place da chronic on da rizla. ah use two cards.

Now we's actually roll da zoot. Pick up da joint by da roach, pinching da rizla around it wif yo' thumb an' yo' forefinger ta make sho nahh chronic falls around it an' fucks up da roll.

Usin` yo' thumb an' forefinger on yo' free hand, pinch da rizla just above da chronic an' roll it into uh sausage shape. As you can (kinda) see here.

Tuck da rizla at da bottom o' da zoot around da roach.

an' then gently tuck in da rizla further along da joint.

Until finally da lengf o' da rizla iz tucked ova da sausage o' chronic.

Roll da zoot up until da end touches da gum o' da rizla.

Then lick da gum from halfway up, an' gentle stick it ta da paper, making sho da roll stays tight--especially around da roach--da whole tyme.

Then lick da bottom half o' da gum an' gently stick it down; ah find it's easiest ta do it while turning da zoot in muh motha fuckin hands. Then you gots yo' joint!

Now you just need ta finish it off. Find somethin` like da flat end o' uh pencil ta poke it down tightly.

an' dere you gots yo' zoot.

Now all you need ta do iz smoke it, muh motha fuckin bruddah Ya' dig?

So this is a tutorial on rolling joints. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I don't know how much weed you use in joints; I usually roll two zoots from a benz (or dime bag). I also use a fair bit of tobacco. So size is variable.

Yeah, Irish wanted a tutorial and Dan wanted a video tutorial, but fuck that.




First things first, you need to make a roach. I usually buy tips or something from the store, or just cannibalise the green card from the back of some long rizla (as above). Fold part of it over and rip it off.





Place the card in the webbing between your thumb and forefinger and rub until it is floppy.



Then, roll the card up to produce a nice and fairly tight cylinder. Don't roll it too tightly though, otherwise it won't pull.



Next you need to take your rizla and place the roach at whichever end you feel is most comfortable. I'm left-handed, so I have the roach on the left-hand side; it's easier to roll.







Next you need to get your tobacco.



Spread some along the rizla. You can use as much or as little as you please, just as long as its enough to form a snake down the rizla, simply to help it burn. You could also mix it in with the ground weed--or grind it with the weed--and then place the mixture on the rizla. Tobacco, however, isn't strictly necessary.



Next you place the weed on the rizla. I use two cards.









Now we actually roll the zoot. Pick up the joint by the roach, pinching the rizla around it with your thumb and your forefinger to make sure no weed falls around it and fucks up the roll.



Using your thumb and forefinger on your free hand, pinch the rizla just above the weed and roll it into a sausage shape. As you can (kinda) see here.





Tuck the rizla at the bottom of the zoot around the roach.



And then gently tuck in the rizla further along the joint.



Until finally the length of the rizla is tucked over the sausage of weed.



Roll the zoot up until the end touches the gum of the rizla.



Then lick the gum from halfway up, and gentle stick it to the paper, making sure the roll stays tight--especially around the roach--the whole time.



Then lick the bottom half of the gum and gently stick it down; I find it's easiest to do it while turning the zoot in my hands. Then you have your joint!





Now you just need to finish it off. Find something like the flat end of a pencil to poke it down tightly.



And there you have your zoot.







Now all you need to do is smoke it, my bruddah.
