The tolerance isn’t totally mental, it just takes longer to build and recede than alcohol does.
To each their own though, not trying to pressure anybody.

That’s why people smoke it. You can feel how high you are with each puff and can control it easily.
Weed may be strong, but it isn’t fentanyl. One toke over the line is not the danger zone—even less so than one alcohol shot over the line.
I work in American healthcare. Your doctor is actually one of the worst people to ask about coverage.
Unfortunately, the only solid way to be 100% sure of coverage is to call your insurance company and make them guarantee your planned procedures in writing. Every doctors office has a department to deal with insurance—after you talk to the insurance company you will want to talk to the insurance department at the doctors office and give them the written statement from the insurance company.
After your procedures, your bill will be processed by a medical coder at the doctors office, and a clearing house coder who gets things ready for your insurance company, before it potentially gets double checked again by coders who actually work for the insurance company. Those people will not have any clue about the arrangement made prior to your procedure, and this is the series of steps where something might happen that would cause your insurance company to not pay.
If you did your due diligence and got everything in writing beforehand, then the insurance company will kick the bill back to the doctor, at which point it will be reviewed by a payment specialist who will be able to see and use the written commitment to force the insurance company to process the bill.
This whole process takes anywhere from weeks to months, so you may not know there is a problem until a while after your appointment.
Welcome to American healthcare. Good luck getting whatever you can.
But it wouldn’t come out in the wash. Crazy people would be incentivized to have even more kids to increase their vote. They already do it for “God’s will”, so why not do it for America?
A Stetson straw wheat gambler hat. I have a lot of hats, but this one allows for maximum air flow.
Because he streamed. Streaming turns to swatting nearly every time if you don’t protect your location information.
Why do you care what they use? You are factually correct, but everyone knows that end user experience trumps all, and familiarity is a huge factor in that.
Let Meemaw have her picture box the way she likes it.
Dallas. We pretty much only went to houses and did everything indoors. There are essentially no sidewalks there, so leaving a neighborhood without a car was impossible.
I can’t think of a single time that I was in a public place totally alone before I could drive. The first time I walked to a convenience store with a friend, I felt like I was going to get in trouble. I later realized how much my upbringing delayed my ability to mature as a young teen.
I find it interesting that you end with the benefits of free to play games since those tend to be heavy on micro transactions, or over powered purchasable gear. Do you not worry that the transition to free to play games will also usher in an era of incomplete until packages are purchased games?
An astounding amount of our government goes towards taking care of old people, yet it still feels like there is basically no safety net for them.
I work in healthcare. Can confirm that most doctors are full of shit to some degree, and many will default to “no problem” if they don’t know what is wrong with you.
There are good ones out there who will listen though. Keep looking for an answer.
They are also 12–almost a teenager. They are moving into a phase where your opinion matters less and their friends start mattering more.
What you are seeing as a slow indoctrination by YouTube may be more of a social game to keep up with the same media their friends consume. Each regurgitated opinion probably lands a lot better in a group of their peers.
This is the future we’ve been growing into. Kids are just living in it.
I watch a few streamers too, and I highly recommend that you follow the ones your kids enjoy until the consequences start setting in. IRS trouble, broken marriages, terminated business deals…stream bros don’t usually live happy lives. Let your kid see the beginning in full, and then make sure they stay tuned for the end.
Boogie used to be the Mr. Rogers of YouTube. Now he’s a cancer faking lolcow who tattooed “liar” on his face, then was caught lying about that too. That is a story arc a kid can learn from. There are wolves in sheep’s clothing, and now we have the benefit of watching them get exposed live.
Quality, organization, community, experience, reliability, and excellence, basically. Private is a luxury experience, public is for the masses.
Honestly, I’m struggling right now. Spent my 20’s waiting for something to happen that never did. Decided to change my life in my 30’s, and while I am a lot happier and more honest with myself in a lot of ways, I have also alienated people who were close to me by adopting new interests that they don’t share.
I try to meet new people, but it’s hard. The ones out socializing tend to be much younger or older than me, and the ones my age are having kids and stuff.
It has been really hard to find a balance between building the life I want to live, and not having changes isolate me to the point of loneliness.
If my wife goes, I may just have to cut everyone off and start fresh, but that terrifies me.
So, with all that, I guess I’m proud that I’m still trying and haven’t just given up completely and moved back in with mom like some of my contemporaries have.
I work in healthcare. My best patient is the guy who punched the rudest doctor in the face. If that rude doctor were in this thread, I bet he’d pick that guy.
I’m feeling this way about a lot of people in my life right now. In my opinion, it is a combination of a splintering pop culture (we aren’t all following the same things), splintering foundations of identity (even facts seem to be subjective these days), and simply being overwhelmed.
Most media is selling doom these days, and the source of that doom is completely contradictory based on who is selling it. If you want to talk about something serious, you inevitably wind up parroting your sources, or eliciting others to parrot theirs. The more you dig, the worse things get, until the argument feels personal.
Under those conditions, subjects like sports seem like a safe option that is unlikely to expose a raw nerve.
I only listen to FLAC. Anything else is a loss.
I used to manage a team of low income women who were primarily first generation Americans. Many of them had tough moms who never hesitated to use “la chancla” on their many children.
Their sense of humor ended up pretty warped, and it was always my impression that it was a self defense thing to normalize the abuse they grew up with. By seeing that behavior as funny, it excuses similar things that were done to them.
I usually tried to ignore it without judging, but I always put a stop to it once they started sharing online videos at work. People are entitled to their own interpretation of their history, but there is no context where a video of a kid sobbing is funny to me.
Topo Chico is what Austinites call water.
Indeed, a lot of drugs that are non toxic have tolerance created in the brain, while more toxic drugs have to get processed by the kidneys and liver, which is why the functioning of those organs contributes to tolerance.
