I made the bad choice to trust my high school girlfriend.
WTF!? Your girlfriend had to drug you to get laid? You gotta be trollin'. How awful for you.
And here is me having sympathy, thinking it was your schoolteacher or something.
Oh wait, BronsCon
Would it help to know that it is largely an urban legend?
Drink spiking with Rohypnol and GHB on a large scale that people are imaging is not real.
In my city, a study was done on a large number of young people arriving at the city hospital (free A&E) with suspected drink-spiking.
Not one had any traces in their blood. Maybe some had been spiked with extra alcohol, but mostly is was young women not taking responsibility for their own excessive drinking (or pills).

The point is, you were being sarcastic, but unwittingly stating a truth among the pointless absurdity. Wring "gun" on a piece of paper can be very dangerous - especially in the scenario of a bank.
But not in a school essay - so there is no connection. Context is vital.
I dunno, I robbed a bank once by walking in, unarmed, writing "gun" on a piece of paper,
Worst analogy ever. Handing the teller a piece of paper with "gun" on it will get you done for armed robbery. It will reasonably be construed as a threat. Same as hands in pockets with finger extended.
Threatening to have a gun or knife is enough to have you locked up for years.
But the kid did not make any threats, so what on earth is your point?
Sir Humphrey: Russians? Who's talking about the Russians?
Hacker: Well, the independent deterrent.
Sir Humphrey: It's to protect us against the French!
Hacker: The French?! But that's astounding!
Sir Humphrey: Why?
Hacker: Well they're our allies, our partners.
Sir Humphrey: Well, they are now, but they've been our enemies for the most of the past 900 years. If they've got the bomb, we must have the bomb!
Hacker: If it's for the French, of course, that's different. Makes a lot of sense.
Sir Humphrey: Yes. Can't trust the Frogs.
Hacker: You can say that again!
> In the city, I have to travel 20 minutes to the grocery store/hardware store,
How is that possible? Are you in some soul-less unserviced satellite town?
Within a 20 minute driving radius of me (in Australia) is the CBD, half a dozen suburban shopping malls, and numerous other supermarkets.
Its hard to imagine anyone living in an urban area more than 5 minutes drive from a supermarket.
It is a good thing that intelligence is not determined by genetics.
Citation needed --- and not to a stupid failed experiment that drew the wrong conclusion.
I think the GP was being ironic. Pretty sure, but if only there were some markup convention, some HTML tag equivalent to a sarcastic voice tone
Or we could just put a woosh tag on the parent post
No, we know "peak stupid" has been reached when the password gropers are getting more intelligent, reversing the previous trend of increasing stupidity.
Either that, or the submitter is too stupid to know the difference between a record high, and a peak.
So why not install suitable corrective lenses in the VR headset, as is commonly done for scuba-diving masks?
Why should the US Government offer any help in an illegal act? That would have legitimised Wikileaks actions.
Why should wikileaks offer any redaction to the US government or its collaborators? That would legitimise their actions.
A bit late to take the moral high ground when you have illegally invaded a foreign country, killed countless thousands, destroyed their infrastructure and covered up the crimes.
I think they want to keep it in the United States for tax reasons. And not paying protection money to the drug cartels.
According to Tesla, it will have as much production capacity as all current li-ion battery factories combined.
So, are there currently a billion factories?
Yes, but is it 1000 times bigger or 1024 times bigger? That's the important part!
Thats what I keep telling the USB standards committee.
A micro-B connector should be 15 nanometres wide. But they whine that this would cause mechanical problems.
Actually, the root of the problem was England and France being quick to give the land back to the Jews after WWII.
.
History tl;dr: After the Ottoman Empire collapsed, Palestine became a British Mandate. After WWII, in 1947, the brits announced it was all too hard and they were leaving.
The UN tried to divide it between Arabs and Jews, but the Arabs wanted everything and the Arab nations invaded the day the British mandate expired. When the fighting stopped, the Jews had all of Palestine, except for Gaza and the West Bank. And that became Israel.
Not sure why you blame France.
Show me another country in the region that has a single Jew or Christian in office.
Iraq's second-in-command was a Christian, before the US invasion. (Tariq Aziz)
