Tedesche,

Whenever someone who speaks Spanish asks me if I speak it, I always respond, “Oon pokeeto, paro solaminty en oon assento Gringo.” Gets either a laugh or a groan every time. 😈

Tedesche,

You could use your invisibility to become the most effective citizen journalist in the world though. Get footage of Exxon execs scheming with politicians to fuck the planet or get world leaders on tape dismissing the Geneva conventions, that sort of thing.

Tedesche,

Of course, obtaining evidence in this way makes it illegal to use in court

That’s why I said citizen journalist. Exposing corrupt people in the news is a major step towards criminal court, and even if there is no case, public opinion can be swayed and that’s a death sentence in many ways.

Tedesche,

No, that super sense wasn’t one of the options.

Tedesche,

If I could somehow be assured that the world wouldn’t immediately turn in me when they discovered my super power and try to capture me for its own ends, teleportation. If not…definitely invisibility. Much easier to hide the power, not just myself.

Tedesche,

This. It’s basically a pocket PC. It’s useful for all the reasons a computer is, but it’s more portable than a laptop.

Tedesche,

A lot of people think that wolf packs have an “alpha” wolf, but wolf experts will tell you that’s a myth.

OP said they read that weed makes you not dream. I happen to know from my education that is not the case.

Sometimes X really doesn’t happen. I never claimed to know everything, but I do know this.

Tedesche,

Not a weed smoker, but I am in mental health. Two things:

1.) That little factoid is a falsehood. Plenty of marijuana users remember their dreams.

2.) As indicated at the end of #1, you always dream when you sleep. You just don’t necessarily remember your dreams when you wake up. We don’t know exactly why we dream—there are several theories—but we know it’s an integral part of our sleep. It’s theorized that what we experience as dreams may be our brains encoding our memories of our experiences since the last time we slept into long-term memory and possibly doing a particular type of problem-solving about things weighing heavily on our minds of late.

Tedesche,

No, I’m afraid you don’t know how scientific claims work. The OP read a claim that “weed makes you not dream.” They didn’t read a claim that “some people report not dreaming after they’ve gone to sleep after smoking weed,” it was a blanket statement about an effect of marijuana.

The fact that you have gone to sleep after smoking and not remembered your dreams afterward does not mean it was the weed that did it, and it certainly doesn’t mean it has that affect on most people, let alone everybody. The issue isn’t that the OP’s claim is true because it happened to you; this is why anecdotal evidence is not accepted as a basis for factual claims in science. There are too many potential confounding factors in any individual case. Plenty of people claim to have seen ghosts; that doesn’t mean ghosts exist.

Tedesche,

It’s not an argument so much as a factual statement about the legal structure of corporations today. They’re legally required to prioritize shareholder interests above literally everything else.

We need new laws that change this structure and require corporate boards to have more nuanced priorities. Additionally, corporate personhood should be completely done away with.

Tedesche,

Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know exactly how you’ll die of diabetes.
