And you are proud of advertising that?
Not advertising. Disclaiming. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of trying psychedelics in college. Why should I be?
Drugs are "Spiritual"?
I didn't say "drugs" in general. I said LSD can be. The experience differs based on many circumstances and the determination on whether the experience was "spiritual" is entirely up to the user.
Sorry, but you are doing the same thing as TFA. Glorifying drugs!
Not all drugs are worthless. Not every drug experience is negative. Is that glorifying? I think it's just truth.
Will you next claim how I'm just a prude for being against drunk driving?
Nobody said anything like that. Obvious strawman is obvious.
If you need them, you are doing something wrong somewhere.
Nobody needs LSD. But, some people believe that their quality of life improves with occasional use. Use of LSD can absolutely be a spiritual experience. Who are you to decide that what people are doing is right/wrong?
If you are claiming they are "okay" or "needed" for "work", you are a disgusting person.

When I use the term, I mean "achieved the intended goal".
My goals are simple and in many ways I consider myself successful. I earn less than half of what my little brother does. He's successful too. At least I think he is - That's up to him.
Smoking weed on the weekend does not make a person a drug addict. Having a drink over the weekend doesn't make a person an alcoholic.
Who is very likely to go smoke more weed during a break, and become a liability.
What the fuck makes you think that a marijuana user is automatically "very likely" to smoke weed on his break? Again, if somebody has a drink over the weekend, are they "very likely" to also drink at their desk?
Perhaps the reason they are poor in the first place comes from bad money management from buying things like... drugs?
This is a little dated, but in 2014 Americans spent $374B on prescriptions. Our country must be full of idiots.
No, I think i'll keep not hiring society's degernerates
You are fucking clueless. Is this part of Sessions' "Good people don't smoke marijuana" garbage? Reefer Madness was bullshit brother.
Between the huge pile of lies they've told their users, and the huge pile of lies they've told to exempt themselves from laws, I fail to see how anybody will do business with them.
Because if you're trying to get from A to B and Uber offers the cheapest, most convenient solution, many people will ignore their business practices. It's the drivers that are getting duped.
The first time I saw the movie as a kid, it had Ford's voice-over. After that, the movie feels hollow without it. But the US Theatrical Cut that includes the VO leaves out the unicorn dream and tacks on a happy ending. The unicorn dream is important to the story and the happy ending is lame. Obviously, they need to create another cut before they get it right.
I never saw Animatrix, but I wouldn't call 2036 groundbreaking. It's a 6 minute conversation where a replicant manufacturer tries to persuade lawmakers in favor of keeping the ban. I love Blade Runner and I'll see the sequel, but if there was ever a movie that didn't need one...
I literally get invited to kids 1st birthdays, and other important events on FB...
It sounds like you can: a) Conform. b) Miss out. Both have problems. For people who primarily announce events over FB, like more people are doing, you're an inconvenience. They might not resent you for ignoring the invitation you never saw, but they might not feel bad about you missing the event. If these are people and events you care about, you have to ask yourself whether you're important enough to get news repeated to you directly when it's already been broadcast. I conformed.
There was an urban legend that a man with a drill bit or titanium implant was able to hear BBC Radio 1 whenever he drove near a large national radio transmitter.
Lucille Ball was convinced that she picked up radio transmissions in her teeth. Music first and Morse code later IIRC.
I certainly don't scroll through anything unless I am looking for something specific.
FB users often scroll endlessly through their front page. Some content gets repeated eventually. A lot doesn't. Some people can't handle that there might be something at the "end of the page" that they just had to see.

Thank you for the definition. It sounds like an LSD trip has the potential to be "spiritual" on all 5 counts. 5a's contestable.

Nobody said anything like that. Obvious strawman is obvious.
Last I checked, it's still a Schedule-I narcotic which makes it unobtainable even with a prescription.
I think you need to review your definition of "unobtainable".

Do people out there really have it so bad that they can't bear to put down or miss a FB post or tweet?
Yes. There are more of those people than you might think.
Sounds borderline addiction to me.....
Borderline?
Is this generational (mostly a millennial thing)?
I think at least mostly.
First, the difference between someone who succeeds and someone who fails is that the one who succeeds doesn't give up after each failure.
The determining factor between someone succeeding and failing is their definition of "success".
At first I got a kick out of seeing random pretty girls, but it
The cake is a lie.
The post you replied to was specifically calling out fruit juices and you responded with celery. Carrots aren't fruit either.
So you want retired people and children to work?
Can't go wrong with child labor. We pass the slavings on to you!
Who wants to hire someone addicted to drugs?
Smoking weed on the weekend does not make a person a drug addict. Having a drink over the weekend doesn't make a person an alcoholic.

Had you said "I smoked MJ 20 years ago and not since" then you can say you're not addicted.
Bull shit. Is somebody who has had a drink a month for the last 20 years an alcoholic?
That would be better spent on people here. Manned space flight program should be canceled.
I didn't know you were on Slashdot Mr. Trump.
I don't know DJT's stance (his stances on anything can be hard to nail down), but Pence said the plan was to put boots on Mars.

To summarize Bodhammer's link:
Does the average American unwittingly commit three felonies a day?
No, but somebody wrote a book about it.
The messages are real. The sources are fake.

They come with most (all?) Android-based smartphones...Did they count in this survey?
Of course. That's a proven strategy. IE came pre-installed on my computer. That doesn't make me an IE user, but it makes me an IE customer.
At least we've shaken things up.
All I can picture is a kid treating his ant farm like an Etch-a-Sketch.
No burgers. I only eat veal because of the cruel way cattle are butchered. Veal calves are left to die of loneliness, the way nature intended.
