A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA. (sh.itjust.works)

And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout "This is a F.A.C.T. jack"! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I got your point. You pretended to be dumb to make it, good job. And now you're pretending to be a victim because I pointed out that using Google wrong is not op's fault. Me explaining how to Google is not "belittling". Didn't call you any names or anything.

Back on point: I actually agree with the base idea that many people from the US talk as if they're the center of the universe and everyone should know what they're talking about, but c'mon... Let's not pretend that we're not watching films and series made there and we don't know what ATF and DEA are. Make these points when they're valid, not every time an American speaks.

I personally had no idea what they meant when I entered this thread, it's not pretending, there's a lot of projection going on here

I had heard of the DEA, but not the ATF, to be honest. The problem is that three letter acronyms are hardly unique unless context such as domestic to the US is being provided.

I am not hating on Americans here. You did say I could not Google though, which is just plain wrong.

Idk if you can Google but you sure as fuck can't shut up

Lmao, thanks for contributing to the conversation. Also, how the fuck do you think you are in a position to tell me to?

See?

This might be the dumbest retort I have seen in a while. Also, the way you turn someone off is by blocking them. Let me demonstrate for you.
