May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A War that can't be won. Millions of dallors are spent to fund it, and thousands of lives are fucked up because of it. Maybe instead of throwing drug users in prison, we should use all the billions of dallors spent to build rehab centers and accually try to fix the problem of hard drug abuse. Not to mention fucking over people that smoke bud or maybe shroom once in awhile. FUCK the DEA!
Instead of trying to fix the problem of getting people off of Heroin and Meth, the U.S. government thought it would easier to start a Drug War and just throw these people in prison.

Bullshit propaganda which advertises to get rid of drugs in the US when in reality it destroys black communities, segregates different races, and decreases our understanding of addiction.
The Drug War is a fucking scam that's meant to cram in as many prisoners as possible so then private prison companies can get rich.

GAME: Usually played by Peruvians on their PalmPilots. Players are usually masquerading as ecological tour guides. Most players appreciate "cheap ludes!"
Pedro loved DrugWars, he played it every day.
Pedro loved the cheap ludes.
Pedro was arrested in the rainforest for selling drugs.
Pedro clearly liked DrugWars more than he let on to.
