For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

    A lot of people in the field of code communication or whatever you call it tend to think of the Turing machine. They think of equations that they’re supposed to convert what they say into, only to give the instructions on how to unconvert it to the intended recipients. While that’s nice and all, if going by their train of thought (which I contrast with mine, I say all this under the context that I see communication as communication), would it not be more ideal to be invisible than wear a Groucho Marx mask?

    As for my other hobby, there’s a famous debate about that, with me being the Artist B in question.

      I think you should do what you want.

      I got a camera for the sake of having stuff to do the math on, so I’m way more A. I also don’t care about anyone calling me a “good photographer”, though. I’ve spent some on equipment to get what I want with the time I have to spend on it, I do processing to get color and contrast beyond what nature has to offer, and I do it because that’s what I have fun with.

      Spices and sauces are part of making good food, so that’s a really odd comparison.

        The debate, with its smaller sentimental details, does not do anyone justice here. I’m not outright against those who would take that route, just that it’s less becoming than the alternative. The way it comes off is Artist A aligners are making up for a lack of inherence.
