This is so true. Use of psychedelics (and psychoactives in general) is such a polarizing issue, partially due to the poor drug education that the majority of the public receives, but also due to the force with which drug proponents feel the

I don't understand why, when a major software package gets even the slightest version increment, it has to top HN. Git's number is bigger? Big deal. If there was a monumental change to Git contained in those release notes, then ma
