Marijuana addiction is real. Those struggling often face skepticism.
  • I think you may be trivializing a pretty complex subject a bit too much

    There is a major difference between our coloqual addictions (sugar, caffeine, our phones) and a substance use disorder. It's worth talking about where on that spectrum marijuana lies

    For my part, I suspect that marijuana is much closer to the former than the latter.

    I've worked with a lot of people in recovery over the years, and while some ex-stoners will tell you how hard it was for them to quit, anyone with a real habit will tell you quitting weed isn't anywhere near the same level as opiates, benzos, amphetamines, alcohol, or even nicotine

    It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
  • Between basic storage being so much larger than it used to be (the 4-8GB days were brutal) and USB-C flash drives that can plug into your charging port, I seldom miss them these days

    Still sucks that they removed them as an option though

  • It's not so much hiding as glazing over. The fact that anyone would argue that the civil war was about 'states rights' should tell you how poorly we recall our history

    I'll never forget reading a textbook in high-school that acknowledged the genocide of the Native Americans before quickly moving on to talk about how stately and wise the people who killed them were

  • It was due to their (our) open admission policy.

    They wanted a more curated experience, and were concerned that our instances would be full of trolls and bots

    They said they would reconsider the decision later

  • I get your concern, I was extremely worried my first time. It's a lot easier than you might expect though

    Still, it's your money and your comfort. If it's worth the extra money for a pre-built to save you peace of mind, by all means do as you will

  • After building a PC for the first time a few years ago, I'll never buy a pre-built desktop again (low or high end)

    The amount of corners they cut and terrible design decisions they make just so you can't reuse the parts elsewhere are not only criminal from a consumer perspective, but an environmental one as well
