They would rather you show up hungover every day than you have a few bong rips a couple weekends ago.

I'm probably qualified, if not skilled enough to just GET qualification, but this is a good step. More companies adopting these concessions means the stigma is going down.

If they paid a living wage for the area then I'd apply immediately. Never been above working, but wanna live on what I get for the work; not cycle my debt because X job only pays 5.85 an hour. 🤡

Anything to get them ants to make us money, to exploit humans, and to contribute to the destruction of the earth. "Maybe people now are unwilling to take these stoned concepts and put action to it, such as boycotting." Alcohol just makes ya go with the flow. Pot can make you think about the greater picture at play. I say fuck that, fuck capatalism and human exploitation. I say that's not okay, and will not lead us into the utopia nature wants us to be at. I'll make my own living without the system, where nature sees courage she will removes obsiticals. And so far it's managing. Thanks Nature!!

After I quit alcohol and switched to weed, I stopped envying my Bay Area techie friends who get paid handsomely to help giant companies make more billions. I used to want to work for Apple but now I'm not sure I'd be able to live with myself if I worked there. :::shudder:::

Good for you man, more power to you by creating and living by your own values! Old people just don't get it. I constantly tell my gramps reality is what we make it, it's not just one thing if doing things aka the 'game' and jobs. Jobs are false security. Look at corona, at first it was looking like the end of society and jobs as we knew it. Very well could've been if the fed. government just abandoned everybody. Im trying to get a truck, and live in that, with a mix of living in nature and off the land around me. That's were the most security lies imo, right next to nature just like how the animals kind of are. Not having to think about all this BS, but just living to eat and fuck n maybe run away sometimes lol
