Was a stoner from age 15 to 25 (first joint at 12-13), I started smoking less and less at 25 and have recently just totally stopped in my early 30s (I might take a puff here and there once in while socially, but even then). Most of my friends were also stoners, some still are. I cannot stress this enough, if you get high EVERY day or EVERY other day from 15 to 25 it really does something to your motivation in life.

I still struggle with motivational problems (ADHDish issues), but I think I've been lucky. I have friends that will probably never achieve anything meaningful in life and that is despite having had access to the best education available (private schools), parents that were MORE than okay, welp being privileged you know... Now some of them cannot stand normalcy (i.e.: working).

There is a world of difference between starting weed when you're 25 and smoking a little bit VS getting HIGH almost everyday from 13-15 onwards.

When we were young we convinced ourselves that weed was not dangerous at all...fools.

I'm about to be a dad, I'll make sure my kids know what's up.

I agree, sometimes I feel like I should become an electrician. When I have to do manual work, I do manual work. When I have to code...it can go in many directions.

Replace the word "religion" by "communal life philosophy" and perhaps you'll start understanding its actual value.

I've been reading Stoic philosophers for some time now and it has helped me a lot. Christianity seems to take a lot from them and adds a mythical spin.

I think the biggest issue with religion stems from the fact that many people fail to understand religious texts are not factual they are metaphorical. Unfortunately, throughout history (and still today) this misunderstanding has been used and led to an incalculable number of heinous crimes.

I'd love an example where the user updates some piece of data. The update should be displayed right away to the user and in a DB.

Yeah I'm not sure I would want to offer unlimited hours to multiple clients.

My hot reload JS dev server crashes on my M1 16GB between 1 to 7 times a week. This has never happened on my Windows 10 desktop machine (16GB too) with the same code base. My M1 is still ~15% faster though.

There are maximum prices on a few items like milk in Canada (at least in Quebec).

Note: the regulation targets “basic” milk, not pimped out milk with omega-3, 19g proteins, without lactose etc.
