You can throw me in with the "never done anything" crowd. I never identified as a straight edge, but I just stuck with it after high school and never felt a strong desire to start doing anything. (which is kinda funny considering my avatar, but w/e)

Oh I get it, I'm in recovery myself, I just never knew we were such a bunch of squares!

i didn't try cannabis until i was 30. honestly the most compelling part about cannabis has been the way it helps with all the pains that come from just getting old. low dose THC or just CBD is so helpful for daily life pain bullshit. i have friends in the industry who just really love getting high and they all think its hilarious when i talk about how much low dose thc helps my IBS and old man pains

Tons of jobs. If you don't operate machinery the post office doesn't drug test, no restaurant I've ever worked for tested (haven't worked for any large chains but I've worked for a couple regional ones), the vast majority of desk jobs don't drug test. Retail will sometimes drug test at hire, but then never again according to friends who've done that. Starbucks doesn't drug test, I'd be very surprised if Amazon warehouse employees were drug tested (they churn through so many people so quickly it would be expensive and time consuming, and they'd probably be dosing their employees with speed already if it were legal). Any computer touching job that doesn't require security clearance (I don't know one way or the other about the ones that do) likely doesn't drug test.

The best apologies are crafted with love.
Most state agencies in Washington also don't drug test unless you do something like drive a car in to a wall or get caught reeking of booze or stealing meds. Half the time they don't even check your license to be sure it's not expired or suspended before you take out an agency car in King County, which was fun when someone got pulled over and it came out they had a suspended license for like 2 DUIs they got after they'd been hired.

I would think the majority of jobs? I have noticed that working at old east coast based companies were the only time I have been tested, while pretty much nothing based in CA tests (even before legalization). Like most things, it probably falls more on the lower paid/lower level employee disproportionately, no software person making 200k in silicon valley gets tested but I would not be surprised if the person making $10 an hour at a nearby mall is.

Also, got Hades after thread chat, beat last boss on my 17th run using the sword boosted to attack fast and heal per hit, pretty much face tanked everything. I am not used to using a controller and now my right forearm is sore.

I think I took a drug test when I first started at the health system of the institution I'm at now. That was about 10 years ago. Four years ago, I moved over to the university side. No test. Switched gigs within the institution again a month ago, and again, no test.

yea the vaccines don't stop you from catching it, even with the booster. omicron is absurdly infectious. we actually just shattered a one day record today by getting over 1 million new cases

We just had two today in our social group on an island where we've usually had <10/day per 150,000, and they were at an outdoor BBQ with us Sunday :( God knows how hard and fast it's hitting here, but I'm going to guess it's going to ramp up significantly, and our hospital capacity is quite small.

No symptoms for me yet, but drinking lots of water and resting a lot for the rest of the day.

My mom needs to get a lymph node biopsy to see if she has cancer but the biopsy is being delayed by covid, as well as being the apparently-less-ideal non-surgical option due to the hospital ceasing non-essential surgeries. You know, I'm starting to think this covid thing is pretty inconvenient.

(Apparently she's not presenting with totally normal lymphoma symptoms but a bunch of other tests have come back negative. The good news is that scans show it's a super early catch if it is cancer; it hasn't spread in the slightest)

e: this is how we got her to try weed again (allergic reaction to some of the antibiotics they temporarily had her on), which is a bit darkly humorous

Vaccines absolutely reduce the chance of catching it, even if you don't have the booster yet:

https://twitter.com/ryanstruyk/status/1472932495092232201

Yes, boosted people can catch it, and this data needs to be updated, but saying "vaccines don't stop it" is incorrect. It's "vaccines reduce the chance of getting it."

It seems like every time there’s a big snow dump in Portland at least a couple people straight up abandon their cars in the middle of the interstate, like, decide the icy roads aren’t worth it and just walk away leaving their vehicle behind, and usually I’m utterly baffled by that kind of decision making, but man, that kinda jam makes me understand.
