Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.

The very opening basically repeating the name of the college twice and the stocks at the top had me immediately back out of the article as it came across as effectively trash. I then looked at the comments here and was surprised there was an actual publication linked

Part of the reason our world is in the shit it is right now is people like you more focused on appearances than content. And the worst part is you don't even consider it a personal failing.

Reading your comments as I scroll: maybe you added some insight; but your delivery is crass. It makes you seem deliberately elitist... and makes me ignore your "angry" comments. You've made the conversation worse by adding to it, without consideration of anything besides your own opinion

And the worst part is you don't even consider it a personal failing.

Isn't that ironic.

I don't care?

You’ve made the conversation worse by adding to i

The opposite in fact, I pointed out the intellectually dishonest tactic of the thought terminating cliche and then made reference to the actual study, which apparently all of you who 'read the article' seemed to miss the link to, and are kind of salty that I did not.

g besides your own opinion

5 decades of experience dealing with average people has proven to me that rarely has my opinion been the less functional one. Yes I am arrogant, and I don't really care much about the opinions of others because most people never really bother giving any serious thought to anything they repeat or insist and I'm tired of the time and effort I do take to deepen my understanding of these topics is casually dismissed.

Have you ever sat down and thought about how a dollar flows through the economy from printing to disposal? I have and it took hours across several days, and I'm STILL SURE I missed some aspects of counterfeiting and outsider art but I can bet you a box of donuts that almost no one in this thread has even spent more than 120 minutes in their lives considering it unless it is part of their degree or career. Not even hedge fund managers know the whole picture.

Or how about figuring out the square acreage of space farm you would need to feed and oxygenate a single human? Because I have and it's 17 - 22 acres depending on how many legumes you can stand in your diet for your average human. I don't even think the Muskrat has broken down the circular crop rotation cycle well enough to keep their soil fertile for 3 harvests and he STILL thinks he's going to get to Mars in his lifetime.

That's the other thing that pisses me off, there are a fucktonne of idiots with bad ideas that fail constantly making a hell of a lot more money than the people who predicted those failures and were promptly ignored.

It's like a Cassandra complex but instead of having meaningful prophecy ignored, it's a clear eyed vision of our current present reality that gains the most scorn and vitriol. It kind of makes me hate all of humanity until proven otherwise on an individual basis.

If you buy a gift for someone, but they refuse to accept it, who then owns the gift? You do!

Your anger doesn't upset me, but you're still the one left holding it and experiencing it

You sound smart enough to figure out how to find some therapy, my friend. You should try and do that for yourself, or work harder at self-control and compassion

Don't bother typing a long-winded response, I'm moving on. Good luck to you in all of your endeavors!

Your anger doesn’t upset me,

I'm glad because it is mostly uncontrollable without medication and no medication works for more than a month or two.

I've been seeing a therapist for years, thanks, and she has been amazing at giving me ways to deal with my EDS. And trust me when I say that I am well known to my friends and family as being a sometimes too empathic person with metric fucktonnes of compassion. Self control? Nope, and I was born that way and the first thirty years of my life was a living hell until I finally found a doctor that could diagnose me correctly.

And trust me, typing long winded responses to people who have already blocked me is a legit part of my therapy.

Have a day, I hope we shan't meet again.

Dude, a badly written article with stocks at the top connected to the very thing it is talking about is usually going to be trash and highly biased

It would be very rare for a badly written article about say energy drinks being good for you on a site all about energy drinks with stocks for junk food companies showing to link to an article or paper not paid for by Gatorade or something
