I don’t have kids of my own, and don’t plan to. I often wonder what kind of world my sisters children will grow up in.

People don’t think pot is addictive because it’s not chemically addictive, like nicotine or alcohol are. Those things actually change your body chemistry, and your system becomes reliant on them.
Pot doesn’t do that, but it can definitely be psychologically addictive . Virtually anything can be psychologically addictive, like video games or watching TV. If you feel the need to take a few bong hits every hour of every day, or if your desire to get high interferes with your responsibilities, then yeah, you’re probably psychologically addicted. Get help.
Getting wasted every once in a while is probably okay, though. People need to make sure they’re not like one of those idiots I knew in college, who insisted they drove better when high. They didn’t, and neither does anyone else.
Okay. That makes sense. Thanks!
That truck looks like it’s a long way from “totaled”.
I have no skin in this game, and just think the drama is funny.
I didn’t have anything in writing. That’s what stopped me from taking it further. You’re completely right, though.
Since the answer is unknowable, you might as well assume the best for yourself. Imagine that the job would have sucked anyway.
For example, I once interviewed for a job, was accepted, then showed up on my first day only to find out that the position had been given to someone else. Was I angry and disappointed? Of course. I made myself feel better by deciding I was better off not working for someone so untrustworthy.
It doesn’t explain them because that’s who the author assumes he’s speaking to.
To anyone who hasn’t read it yet: don’t let yourself be intimidated by the fact that it’s a huge book. It is equally rewarding!
Another poster suggested keeping track of the names. That’s not a bad idea.
I don’t remember where I heard this, but that doesn’t detract from it at all. It’s a ridiculous, great line.
He’s SOOOOOOO close!
The Shit Fairy exists.
This needs to be very widely publicized.
For you and I, not looking at it is the sensible solution. Unfortunately, not everyone is sensible, which is where the police protection bit comes in.
I wasn’t clear. Shooting up her own property is fine. Posting pics for the world to see is the stupid part. Now she needs police protection.
I’m agnostic, and even I know this was unbelievably stupid. There’s no way she didn’t know what she was doing.
Because people use hyperbole and aren’t always serious. How many times have you said “I’m gonna kill you”?
I hope they are. I just don’t trust corporations/governments to take the major and expensive steps required before it’s too late, and I have a hard time seeing past that. Individuals can only do so much.
