THC on its own? Well, it is addictive, which along with its actual effects comes with some medical concerns of its own. Overdosing on the stuff can also cause some damage, but nothing near what you see with other drugs (even bloody aspirin can kill you if you take a few dozen pills, THC? damn...

Decidedly unhappy at the moment, but that is a quite unusual condition in my case. The question has simply caught me at a bad time. As for my normal emotional state, here's a hint. One of the most common nicknames others use for me is "Spock"

Yes, actually, I do. The following is offensive, and I apologize for that, but there isn't much I can do about it while still getting the point across. So far as I am concerned: -Risking addiction is incredibly stupid -your brain is the only resource you have that is truly worth a damn...

Much like the op, I Jedi hand wave automatic sliding doors open. Its gotten to be habit enough that I don't really think about it anymore.

Been all over North America, but while I've hopped the borders of multiple nations, I have yet to get an opportunity to leave the actual continent. A bit ironic perhaps, since my father would be able to list 6/7, having only skipped out on visiting the giant block of ice at the bottom of the...

I principally drove manual transmission vehicles in my last job. They work well in that capacity, and I would not choose to use an automatic transmission in their place I principally drive automatic transmission vehicles literally everywhere else I go. They work well in that capacity, and...

Care to guess how long it will take creationists to seize this as evidence for where the water for Noah's flood came from?

In order of preference Stark Targaryen Martell Tyrell Tully Joining any other house I can think of at the moment would necessarily begin with me attempting to off at least one of my new family members for being one of the crazy SOBs running around f***ing things up for the entire kingdom.

I've lost several pets over the years, and I can tell you that it never really gets easier, whether or not they die by your hands. -An old dog that had been my protector and companion since I was an infant quietly laid down and died at my feet one evening. -I found an abandoned 3-4 week...

If you think I stated that power doesn't corrupt at all you need to read my post again, and if you can't think of a few counterexamples on your own, you need to get reacquainted with certain historical figures. P.S. No, I am not blind enough to believe that I, or any human being, knows what...

This attitude is a pessimistic, naive, and ultimately self destructive remnant of the old world viewpoint of humanity in general. The idea that power inevitably corrupts is absolutely and utterly false, a nice little excuse for people trying to explain away the choices of evil individuals...

No, technically speaking, that would be incest. A clone of you is not you, but rather an identical twin brother/sister that you gained by unusual means.

No way in hell, and I don't even have to check up on my ethical feelings on the matter before making that decision. It would be an opportunity like no other to get some real traction on my life's goals going. In order to achieve half the crap I want to, I need a hell of a partner that I can...

Discounting romantic interests, I know of exactly one person that I didn't mind sharing a room with, and that was my brother. I also suspect that we'd both tolerate it a bit less these days. Likewise, only a few of the people I've been flatmates with didn't manage to irritate me fairly often...

There should be some kind of qualifications yes. I've always found it ironic and sad that you have to jump through more hoops to open a lemonade stand than to be entrusted with the care of a young human being. The only problem I see is the one others have pointed out, finding a way to enforce...
