Why Thailand's having second thoughts about decriminalizing cannabis

CNN  —  Opening a cannabis dispensary wasn’t always top of the list of Wassaya Iemvijan’s ambitions. The former lawyer, from the Thai capital Bangkok, first turned to the plant as a form of “alternative care” to cope with stress and settle her mind. “I struggled with depression for many years,” Iemvijan said. “It was weed that helped me… So when it was decriminalized, we decided to set up a…

still struggling with motivation write/be here, but for diamante's birthday i just want to post one of my favorite doffy gags featuring this equally goofy ahh loser

[furbytech]

So how do I remove Furby ear bones anyway?

Did your Furby’s original ears break? Did you make a custom skin and need the ears to be a different shape? Who knows! I’m just here to tell you how to take the old ones off. This will be a little shorter than my usual guides, since the process is quite simple.

To start, let’s take a quick look at how the covers vary depending on where and when your Furby was made.

On the left is a 1999 Furby baby with a red plastic cover. Even though there are three screws on the cover, only the bottom two will need to be removed. On the right is an adult 1998 Furby with a black plastic cover. This is a little hard to photograph clearly, so for the rest of this guide I’ll be using a GE Owl who has a red plastic cover.

You may also notice some variety in the ear bones themselves! Some bones have little pegs that ride in a slot on the ear cover. These keep the ears from overextending while your Furby is shucked, but aren’t really an essential part of the mechanism. Some Furbies have pegs and slots, some have just slots, and some have no slots or pegs. There’s nothing wrong with mixing and matching types if you're using donor parts, but peg ear bones won’t fit in a Furby without slots, so you’ll have to modify them.

To remove the ears, all you need to do is remove the two screws attaching the cover to the base behind Furby’s eyes (circled above)

You can also see that the bundle of wires connected to the light and IR sensors is covering the corner on this Furby. It should be relatively easy to push out of the way.

Removing the screws

Removing the cover. At this point the cam is loose and might become a little unwieldy. Be careful not to break any of the teeth on the gears.

The ear bones should come off with a little force once the cover is out of the way. Sometimes the gear will come off with them, but it shouldn’t be difficult to separate the two and stick the gear back where it goes.

You may notice that Furby’s original ears have a rubbery surface in contact with the gears that drive them, and that the ears can rotate without moving the gears. This is part of the slip mechanism that keeps the gears and motor safe if the ears get grabbed, jammed, or otherwise stuck!

𝙵𝚒𝚕𝚎: 𝚃𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚕 𝟷 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚜

Haruto: The date is 13 June XXXX. I'm recording this video to log the prisoners' reactions to their verdicts. I'm sure such information will come in handy in the future.

Especially for the higher ups! [He waves at the camera.] Hello! Are you watching this? Aren't I a proactive warden, logging this kinda stuff for your convenience?

... [He sits back in his chair.] Well now I feel stupid.

But! [He jerks up suddenly.] I'm sure there's someone watching. An operation as sophisticated as this doesn't magic out of nowhere. [He aims two fingers at his eyes and then at the screen.] I'm onto you.

[He sits back in his chair.] Prisoner 001, Kanai Ichiro. Verdict: Guilty. When I informed him of my decision, he questioned me and got angry when I refused to explain the logic behind my judgement. As part of his punishment, I confiscated his soft toy which he is very attached to. He tried to snatch it back, but was intercepted by the force field.

Since then, his mental health has deteriorated significantly. He sleeps a lot more and encounters nightmares often, refuses to eat meals, and is prone to meltdowns and self-harm. He also mumbles to himself and has claimed to hear voices telling that he is unforgivable.

[Haruto runs a hand down his face.] What am I going to do with him?

But anyway, prisoner 002, Kobayashi Akane. Verdict: Innocent. She reacted positively to the news of course. She claims that getting voted innocent was the only possible outcome for her, but she looked relieved for a bit. Her behavior hasn't changed much since then. She's just less jumpy and more confident now.

Prisoner 003, Iwamoto Daisuke. Verdict: Innocent. He was probably expecting a guilty verdict, because he told me "my moral compass must be a roulette wheel". He's been more quiet and timid recently, it seems he's dealing with a sort of survivor's guilt.

Prisoner 004, Toma Suzume. Verdict: Innocent. She was surprised, but didn't say anything about my decision. Her behavior hasn't changed much, just less unsure and anxious. She's also been helping Noa-san to cook for everyone now that Mayumi-san has been voted guilty.

Prisoner 005, Endo Haku. Verdict: Innocent. He was happy to hear the news. He even smiled and thanked me for "understanding". He's been more friendly and outgoing since then. Its good that he's interacting more with the other prisoners now. I hope that his next music video will reveal some important information too.

Prisoner 006, Sasaki Yui. Verdict: Guilty. She didn't react well to her verdict. After a few seconds of disbelief, she started yelling and threw her chair at me. I put her in a straightjacket for 24 hours after that.

Her mental health has dropped drastically. She can't seem to sleep and is no longer taking care of her appearance (which is a big red flag for Yui-san). She's probably hearing voices too, but I can't confirm as she hasn't spoken to me since the incident. She doesn't interact with the other prisoners as much anymore either. I told Suzume-san to keep an eye on her. I hope Yui-san doesn't do any other stupid things.

Prisoner 007, Shigeru Rin. Another guilty prisoner. He started yelling and crying when I informed him of my decision, saying that "she was the one in the wrong". At least he didn't throw a chair at me.

He's become more on-edge and easily agitated recently. He's no longer allowed to request for things, so he's had no choice but to become less demanding. He's hearing voices as well, and will respond sometimes to tell them to shut up. He's not coping well with the auditory hallucinations. If it gets too bad, I might have to procure some meds.

Prisoner 008, Watanabe Noa. Verdict: Innocent, despite her begging for the death penalty. That's what she asked about when I informed her of my decision. I gave a satisfactory answer, but didn't tell her the full story of course. She's now cooking for everyone along with Suzume-san in Mayumi's place. That's Milgram's big sister figure for you. She's doing more productive stuff now. Good for her.

Prisoner 009, Miyahara Kiyoshi. Verdict: Innocent. He was happy with his verdict, claiming that his victim "had it coming". He's more cheerful and easygoing now. He became comfortable surprisingly quickly after being voted innocent. I'm not sure I vibe with that very much. His victim may have been a drug dealer, but I don't think he deserved to die because of it. Well, we'll see.

Prisoner 010, Okura Mayumi. Verdict: Guilty. She wasn't happy with my decision, but she didn't snap. It was a cold, chilling sort of anger. All she said was: "At least vote consistently." She was probably referring to Kiyoshi-san. [Haruto shrugs.]

Her liberties are restricted now and she isn't allowed to cook for everyone anymore. Her friendly and helpful personality is no more. She's become withdrawn and quiet. She confirmed that she can hear voices speaking to her, but she hardly seems affected by them. I can tell that she's still angry about her verdict. She hasn't done anything aggressive so far, but I'm not letting my guard down. Just in case.

Well. I sure hope my decisions don't come back to bite me in the ass. [Haruto flashes a peace sign at the camera.]

[linagram characters' vocals ranked from best to worst]

huge thanks to my friend for reminding me to do this, i was meaning to, but then. uni.

so yeah, you know how milgram didn't actually just get ten (eleven, if you count es) people who are not only murderers, but are also good at singing and their real vocals may not actually be that good (for example, mahiru)?

yeah, so here's a ranking of how good everyone's real vocals are to how. bad they are.

1. naomi (has a surprisingly pretty and calming voice, though she rarely sings. her younger sister is pretty good at singing as well, so maybe it's a genetics-related thing in some way. she stopped singing at all after her father had said that her voice is perfect for singing lullabies and since she's not interested in becoming a mother at all.. yeah.)

2. kei (his vocals are definitely not for everyone, but THE RANGE HE HAS?? he can easily go from a very high-pitched and feminine-sounding voice (he's also really good at sounding like a child) to a very low-pitched and scary voice in a minute. when his friends heard him sing for the first time, they couldn't believe just how good he was and joked about him "stealing their girlfriends" because of how talented he is. he doesn't know why he's so good at it and just thinks it's because all sanadas are creative in some way.)

3. aimi (just like naomi, has a very soft voice, though hers sounds more "cute". some of her family members have joked about her having the talent and the looks to become an idol, but aimi isn't really interested in that. she's not interested in having fans, she just wants to have friends.)

4. riku ("he's in a band, why is he not the best one" honestly.. i don't imagine his voice being THE best one? i certainly think riku's voice would be very powerful and he would have a wide range, but it's not always that pleasant to listen to. i imagine his vocals being good, but not.. unique, you know? he's very insecure about it too and it doesn't help that he has some problems with his throat, so he has to be very careful. i also imagine him to be a better songwriter and a guitarist rather than a vocalist.)

5. yurika (just like kei, she can easily change her voice and it's surprisingly strong, so yeah, she can still definitely handle a song like meme. however, she's lower than riku because her voice is a little.. like, again, i don't think people would enjoy listening to her real voice that much. her real singing literally sounds like screaming sometimes.)

6. eiko (not particularly good, but not particularly bad. her vocals are not that special, but she's also not as bad as the prisoners below. she doesn't really care about that though, since she's not interested in singing anyway. however, she's confident enough to assume eiji will like her voice in her first vd, so yeah, queen behavior.)

7. reina (her voice is way too high-pitched so when she starts singing, it sounds like a crying child.)

8. asahi (WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM A 12 YEAR OLD.)

9. akio (can't sing to save his life. arata loves to make fun of him for that)

10. shun (shun.)

it's a bit hard to talk about the guards' vocals, but surprisingly, hiyuu is actually the most musically gifted out of all of them. just like kei's voice, his voice is not for everyone and it's very quiet and whispery, but he has the most experience with singing and music in general out of all three. he would most likely be between riku and yurika.

miki comes second, i think she would have the potential, but because of how much of an anxious wreck this girl is, her voice wouldn't be that strong and it would be hard for her to sing fast-paced songs or songs that require more powerful vocals. it would be hard for her to sing certain notes too and she doesn't have much experience, so i think she'd be somewhere between yurika and eiko.

eiji. oh, eiji. i actually think his "milgram" vocals would be SO GOOD, like i just know his cover of animal with the amane cover instrumental would sound amazing, but in real life.. he's not that good at singing. yeah, he's terrible actually. most of the time he can't sing even one line because he just goes "UGH THIS IS STUPID" and leaves. which is a shame because sanadas love going to karaoke, so kei kinda forces him to sing at least something. he'd be somewhere between akio and shun. asahi point and laugh at him.

"When have I ever tested ya?"

The question feels more loaded than he intends it to be in the aftermath of what an ill-thought out decision that now felt like a moment. A test of restraint, a test of curiosity but he hopes he that it won't be a test of their friendship.

( Chase's isn't one he's willing to lose. )

"Never know, y'might end up falling madly in love on your first date."

Dallas' tone was somewhere between teasing and hopeful -- for which outcome, he's not entirely sure -- his hands drifting from Chase's shoulders to release his grip on him and to release him into the lingering unknown of the self-exploration he was about to embark on.

"Get gone then. And let me know how it goes."

@chascwilliams

His tongue brushes along his lower lip as his gaze shifts from Dallas' eyes to his lips in the matter of seconds. He's not sure how to process the entire thing because it makes him wonder if Fia had a point when it came to how oddly protective of the other man Chase had been.

Was this the reason?

He swallows at the beat of silence between them after his question; his heart is practically slamming against his chest as he waits to see if there can be a redo, one where he can actually function as a person and return the kiss. But the whole illusion is shattered into pieces when the sound of WWE figures being hit against the coffee table.

It makes him pull back only slightly, the spot on his face where Dallas hand has been lingers with a warmth he's never really experienced before. He drifts his gaze across the other's features as he chews on his lower lip slightly.

"You know that's what most people say about things and it turns out to be some sort of test." He teases in a low tone as he clears his throat. "I'll be back for it."

And it a promise he knows he'll keep.
