To be fair, Hearthstone is one of the better value games! It is still a "collectible" card game, from a very reputable company, with a lot of expected longevity -- based on a huge universe. You get to use your cards against other

Yes, when I first looked at this data I tried my best to lump it into categories. (Was in an discussion about ROI on "free" college) about 65% of grads are in what I would consider, employable categories. STEM, Healthcare, Busines

Usually the bigger problem there isn't as much the individuals, but why the startup needed that role to begin with. A lot of times early companies will go through the motions of, "needing" a VP of Engineering, or CTO, or what

Its worth noting that there are people who have b12 absorption deficiencies. My family has a history of it and a few are prescribed b12 injections once a month. These injections are usually much higher than what you would take in pill for,

Never tried MDMA, so not to be some drug defender here. But I think its worth noting that study is a sampling of people who have used an average of 281 "MDMA" tablets over the past 6 years. It could be that MDMA abuse just has neg

This isn't really the same thing. Technically bongs, bubblers and bowls are much worse to smoke than a joint. Because these devices make it easier to "inhale the smoke", users typically get a far larger "hit" then t

I think that is kind of the major one that sticks out in my mind. But, its just more sinister then that IMO. Being that it is something newer, I have a feeling more will pop up. I was friends with a major twitch streamer who used to vape li

There is a lot of wrong in this comment. While I agree with most of your sentiment about vaping being a safer alternative, it is wrong to assume that the chemicals introduced via vaping are not carcinogenic because there is no smoke.

Actually, as I already mentioned, there are cases with flavoring additives and other chemicals in the vape causing lung disease and other problems. I don't have it offhand but google should help you. My sentiment is more about where I

It doesn't mean they are safe either. The difference between these situations and vaping are, vaping you are doing intentionally and habitually.

Because you are inhaling foreign chemicals into your lung in higher then normal dosages. How is that a bold statement? People run around vaping like there are zero consequences, but I wouldn't be surprised if research eventually emerge

Not sure if you are trying to distinguish a difference but, surely you aren't suggesting that drug experimentation or recreational usage should be criminal?

Further, even if you did "eliminate" the cartels, more would pop up. If there is a demand, someone will find a way to make money off of it.

I mean, I feel like this needs to be handled on a case by case basis. What is the company? What is the team working on? How serious is it? I wouldn't think it is inherently negative situation until proven otherwise.

Honestly, I feel like a study of this nature is backing up what we already know to a degree. But, we need to know more and I feel like a 4 year tracking period isn't enough. For example, how do we know that people who were already the
