  • I think you may be trivializing a pretty complex subject a bit too much

    There is a major difference between our coloqual addictions (sugar, caffeine, our phones) and a substance use disorder. It’s worth talking about where on that spectrum marijuana lies

    For my part, I suspect that marijuana is much closer to the former than the latter.

    I’ve worked with a lot of people in recovery over the years, and while some ex-stoners will tell you how hard it was for them to quit, anyone with a real habit will tell you quitting weed isn’t anywhere near the same level as opiates, benzos, amphetamines, alcohol, or even nicotine




  • It’s not so much hiding as glazing over. The fact that anyone would argue that the civil war was about ‘states rights’ should tell you how poorly we recall our history

    I’ll never forget reading a textbook in high-school that acknowledged the genocide of the Native Americans before quickly moving on to talk about how stately and wise the people who killed them were










  • To go further off topic, LGBT+ folks have my full support but can y’all please stop adding to the acronym?

    I thought the ‘q’ was supposed to be an umbrella for everyone else, then there was a plus that’s definitely for that purpose, yet somehow more letters still seem to get added every few years

    The next time a boomer co-worker comes up and passive-aggressively asks me, “what’s this new letter I just found,” with a grin like this exposes how dumb the whole community really is, I swear I’m going to throw them out a window

    I don’t want to go to prison, please stop adding letters so they will stop talking to me
