I would encourage you to look outside of simple "good v. bad" when it comes to medical sciences, and discourage anyone from doing newobj's research for them, unless a medical professional online here can shed light with proper terminology

If you're waiting for a sign, here's one:

just get it overwith, you'll be better off.

well, there's less chance of advertisements, and it gets to the point rather quickly

i am not an economist or lawyer and prefer it

i don't have to worry about a writer/editor injecting personal opinions that i could care less about

Better people? that is somewhat insensitive to people who use marijuana for medical purposes. for example i smoke in mornings to avoid nausea from medications and to curb migraines and i work better because of it.

If a more able bodied person is "better" still, I guess you're right, you / employers can be the judge of it; after all, no one would be so blatantly honest about discrimination, be it marijuana use or overall health... there's always another reason to give to a candidate or worker. I have to agree that I don't think more government regulation would help in that regard. But maybe that's based off of my apathy, lol.

Anyways, im hoping you can consider there are reasons to consume marijuana other than just getting fucked up. its not always a reflection of bad character or poor work ethic.

The title should state SSRIs and not antidepressants as there are numerous drug types that can be considered antidepressant (e.g. SNRI, NASSA, tricyclic)

Great point, thanks for your input!

It isn't the only reason, but during my struggle with depression I find it easier to confront things I'm scared of as part of feeling numb. sometimes it helps to feel something rather than nothing at all. coupled with the ideals of "nothing really matters anyways", I've tried to make my apathy useful. I have made progress with my emotions by forcing myself outside of my comfort zone.

Same here, I have severe anxiety and reading the app description made my skin crawl.

To simulate a similar sense of uncontrolled urgency seems masochistic to me...

Yes, I always carry a notebook even in non work situations. It's never been an issue for me as far as transportation is concerned, I just slip it alongside my laptop or other books.

I also have a Samsung Note phone which is useful in the rare case I'm caught without a notebook or pen. I'll re-write any notes to my work notebook as needed.

I wonder if this is intended to be competition with managed Wordpress providers such as WP Engine? the article doesn't distinguish between Wordpress.org (domain.wordpress.org) and Wordpress.com (self hosted) platforms. Perhaps both, with such a large partnership. But in the developer's linked blog post he seems to be referring to the self-hosted platform by mentioning themes and plugins. Very interested to see how this progresses.
