Pot is the only thing that keeps me from strangling him sometimes. I don't need it, he does. And I have made a few purchases figuring a charge for some weed was preferable to a murder sentence for me.
There's an old saying...
"Pot gets you through times of no money, better than money gets you through times of no pot."
Words to live by.

I called that the 'Ivory Tower' effect. I felt it the first time after school stopped and I entered the working world.
Quick google search tells me it also called Ivory Tower syndrome.

Banana bread is actually cake. So are muffins and cornbread. We just don't call them cake so we can rationalize eating cake outside of dessert.

I'm not so structured. One of the joys of adulthood is that I can eat cake whenever I want without the need to rationalize it.

I'm the only one who can make myself feel bad.
Oh, hello cognitive dissonance, old friend.
Feel bad, about what? I'm only human.

Sometimes, I think I'm developing PTSD from workplace trauma.

Democrats should introduce a gun control bill called the "The Donald Trump safety and gun control bill" and make republicans vote against it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
