I feel like the universe hasn't given our actions enough consequences.

Probably snorted off of the back of a toilet.

Remember when Billy Clinton admitted he smoked pot in college, but "didn't inhale"? That's when accusations of drug use amongst political candidates became useless for ending their career. Everyone stopped caring about drug use, not to mention adultery, and a whole raft of other vices that would have been a death sentence just 10 or 15 years earlier.

Bill Clinton!? John F. Kennedy consumed mind-boggling amounts of drugs while being president, 30 years earlier.

That sounds like something a brain worm would say.

As someone that has met a lot of people that do cocaine, yeah that's not surprising. Maybe not the seat specifically, but pretty much all of them do coke off of toilets. It's a convenient height, it has a similar color so it's easier to clean up, you get the privacy of the stall door, and nobody is gonna bother you while you are there.

Okay, yeah, but how many cokeheads become the fucking head of the CDC?

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Well, at least one. That we know of.
