> The other downsides were that I wasn't as sharp mentally when I was sober. I wasn't as ambitious. I was less social. In other words, it made me feel fine just hanging out in my apartment doing nothing. On the balance that made pot a negative for me.

This is exactly why I quit. I found myself not comprehending technical conversations as well as I used to while sober. Hanging out at home doing nothing when you REALLY do want to go out do something eventually got me to quit. For me ambition is what has guided me for so long and not having that created an emptiness. I too felt less anxiety but in the long run I was actively watching the days go by and no progress in my life.

I don't believe these things are talked about enough. Its just the stereotypical "pothead".

I blame cultural marxism and the liberalization of our schools.

This won't stop the regulations coming their way. Facebook had the chance to prove they could be trusted but squandered it and may have ruined it for the tech industry. They know this and it's why they hired Washington lobbyists.

Isn't MTA semi-private???

This style of architecture definitely allows for more sunlight and doesn't dirty the skyline with nasty highly reflective glass. Sometimes you're located in an area that is better without skyscrapers. Although I'm sure most of the posts here will be about "inefficiency".

Gawker got what they deserved but this sets a dangerous precedent.

So Gawker exercised free speech and he was allowed to tag along in an unrelated lawsuit. That sounds like a big loophole in the system. Say what you will about these "smut peddlers" like Gawker but that is an attack on free speech. I amazed more folks in the comments aren't upset about the constitution being perverted in such a way.

Why did Thiel not just bring a lawsuit himself if he was truly being defamed? I don't see the how he is justified in hiding behind someone else's lawsuit. Seems cowardly to me; not a crime but speaks to his character.

MTA runs on a deficit so yeah like any business they need to raise prices. Sadly :(
