It's really amazing to see how you've made yourself a victim of this and made it seem like the world against you. Could you be more obviously falling into the pattern of derailing and making this about you?
Why even bothering inserting that comment? I'm constantly surprised at people across all walks of life (poly sci masters student, journalism professor, fellow MS employees) that find Chromebooks to be extremely useful and portable given their price. Offhanded comments like that make you look... well... presumptive.
You can't be serious, like every major site out there will send you an email link with a "password" unique to that user/email that will one-click opt-out. I believe this is due to US regulation, but it's clearly technically implementable and safe.
>Maybe if you weren't so high when you wrote that reply, it would have actually made sense.
Are you kidding me? How petty, childish, immature and snarky can you be about this? What an obvious defense mechanism. (The irony being I'm in the middle of a two month break from using anything as I'm traveling).
I didn't claim it would make me a better business leader. I claimed it wouldn't make me a worse one and you've done nothing to show otherwise but offer a single stupid anecdote to dismiss everyone else.
And yes, you've three times now implied (or explicitly said) that anyone who even smokes pot occasionally needs to grow up. (Imagine the absurdity if I said that about having a beer. And you're already jumping to a million conclusions in your head that you know nothing about). You're a smug person latching to stereotypes. A tough anti-drug guy (proudly) making fun of people for what they do in their spare time. Just like I said: preconceived notions and judgmental condescension. Thanks for confirming all of my suspicions from my very first post in this thread.
All gay people I know have lisps, so they all do; don't you know?
Comparing getting high in your free time to drinking half a bottle is so disingenuous, it's actually embarrassing to watch you do this.
That, and you know what, going around calling everyone "kids" because you can't formulate an argument makes you look bad, not the "kids" you're looking down on.
You're so clearly unwilling to even listen on this issue, it was apparent from the get-go.
I'd hate to ever get caught eating a piece of chocolate in front of you. You'd probably slap it out of my hands, call me a fatty and tell me there are healthier ways to make myself happy.
No, it didn't and this invalidates all of your self bragging.
>it's not every day you meet a female with the tech skills to get Arch Linux to take on a Macbook Air
Weirdest brag I've ever seen. Arch on a MBA isn't even that hard to do assuming you can follow ten commands in a row from the Arch Wiki, as that's all it takes for a standard install.
"The only pot smokers I know and am aware of are burnt out, so they all will burn out! Oh and it's immature, whatever that means."
Sorry for the snark, but when there's clearly a visibility problem, these one-off negative anecdotes given as universal observations and advice are nearly useless.
For me, it's a happy in between. Come home from work, have a bag from the vaporizer and write a bunch of code for my side project. Though, Friday, when everyone else goes out to the bar, I stay in have several bags, watch some stupid TV and fall asleep early on the couch. Works for me, but I also know how to not overdo it, etc. It's honestly a lot like alcohol in that regard.
Can you imagine how weird it would be if people freaked out if they heard you had a beer at lunch or had a beer at 4PM while working from home? Weird to me at least...
I can't wait for people to come out of the closet on this issue. It's just like gay people. Ask anyone from CO or WA how many people have come out as private pot smokers.
Can't wait for uninformed and inexperienced judgement that will be raining down in this thread. A bunch of people saying a bunch of ridiculous things that they'd never say if they knew how many people smoked around them and don't tell them. Same exact scenario as homosexuality. And I say this as someone who faces far more stigma as a smoker than I do as a gay guy. Which is ironic, because it's same conversation "Oh you're gay? You smoke pot? Would have never known!" ... Duh.
/me gets popcorn. Hey this registering one-off troll accounts for new threads is kinda fun! Glad it still is encouraged.
