    I smoke every day because every other form of escapism can’t get me away from the modern hellscape that we currently exist in.

      A doctor prescribed me coke to treat my idiopathic hypersomnia. Didn’t realize computational finance grads could write scripts, but I’m happy

          Seriously though, R is tedious as hell when dealing with statistical analysis. It can be fun but I found it to be too much work for things I could do more easily elsewhere. Python is great for many things financial but can be limiting, though it’s my favorite language probably because of its general use and ease of access.

    Yeah, I’m probably addicted to cannabis. That doesn’t particularly bother me, as it doesn’t negatively impact my life. I keep it to nights and weekends, and I don’t spend more on it than I can afford. I honestly have a much harder time quitting coffee than I do cannabis. If I go on vacation, I never have a problem leaving my weed at home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t have my caffeine. And that doesn’t seem to be a particularly harmful addiction either.

      Lucky. I can’t sleep without weed, so if I’m going on vacation, it has to be to a place with legalization.

        Yeah, that does suck. I do struggle a bit to fall asleep the first few nights without it, since I’m used to having a bowl before bed, but the thing that really gets me is how crazy vivid my dreams are when I’m taking a break. I’m prone to night terrors too, so it’s a bit of a roll of the dice on what those dreams are gonna be like

        I interpret for courts and the prosecutor’s office in Japan. I wish the people I’ve had to work with were smart like you. Don’t risk it by bringing weed here.

    I smoke weed every day because I like the neurochemistry it provides better than living sober.

    Sure I can quit whenever I want, i have for plenty of job searches.

    But it’s like, would you rather live your life never wearing shoes? When you could just be wearing shoes every day and your daily life is now more comfortable and easier to navigate?

    I wear shoes personally

    “I am addicted to coke” looks like the one on the left and talks into his intercom, thinking it’s a phone.

    Zero deals made today, maybe bought coke.

      My dad was the kind of person who would do coke and drink all day and pretended he was he was “doing business” when he was really just calling everyone in his contacts and loudly being obnoxious at them for an hour or two each.

      No idea how much money he conned out of people to support his habit but I estimated he probably spent at least a several hundred thousand dollars on cocaine in his life, not counting the hundreds of thousands or more he spent on nightly dinners where he held a captive audience while he ranted and raved like Trump.

    I wish weed didn’t fill me with anxiety at even the smallest doses. I go through periods where I try to push through the initial uncomfortable stages, hoping that I’ll get used to being high and finally enjoy the drug but I am just filled with negative and self abusive thoughts. I hate weed but I wish I didn’t :/

      It’s okay, you’re not missing much.

      Long term effects are often downplayed by enjoyers in my view.

      But hey, I still take it like once every other month sometimes, especially if I want to not get too drunk but it’s always a drag getting back to less procrastinating with my life.

      It can be very helpful for some or in the way for others.

    I’m addicted to caffeine. My university has a meal swipe program which equates to ~6 bucks and you can use 2 a day. I eat one big meal from the ‘all you can eat’ cafe, then get 2 energy drinks for the morning and afternoon, and just have ramen for dinner or sthm.

    I currently have 3 spares because tbh I’m kinda getting sick of redbull. Idk what else to spend the meal swipes on because if you don’t use them it’s just wasted money
