Residente: ‘Hillary Clinton Does Not Deserve My Vote’
Behind #BernieMadeMeWhite

Fine, Mike.
Residente will not vote for Clinton, and will to anyone within earshot about that not vote.
When Residente and cronies then make a demand on President Clinton, President Clinton will tell them to fuck the fuck right off.

Is Addiction a Learning Disorder?
I think framing this as a disorder is misguided. Addiction ‘in the brain’ -to me- seems little different from general preference learning, the mostly negative consequences of ‘substance abuse’ -apart from specific detrimental consequences of habitual intake of some substances- largely seem to be a kind of socially imposed punishment for showing a preference which is not shared by the general population and as such not deemed socially acceptable.
Aahh yes another story about Bostachusetts and its schools and stuff.
