    This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. “… Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it” shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can’t we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.

    Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!












  • Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

    Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

    • average hours worked a year
    • average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
    • average hours spent with loved ones per year
    • average rent
    • average hours worked to pay for groceries
    • average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
    • average student loan debt payments
    • suicide rate
    • average zoom calls a year
    • happiness

    And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.

    I have a lot of experience as a software engineer in the industry, and used to teach public middle school. I would love to teach a course or two a year because education is a passion of mine, but only have a BA of Education, do you think it’s worth applying to teach at my local community college? I saw my local college had a requirement of a master’s degree in CS, which I do not have.
