Unless they are metal, their influence should be relatively low, I think

I’m fine with teambuilding events as long as they are during working hours. Rowing a canoe or shooting arrows instead of my desk job is certainly the better choice

We might be on track for that future though. The picture features a floor of ocean on which there seem to be artificial islands connected by tubes of glass and steel. So we see a future with heavy flooding and people needing to be protected from extreme weather events 24/7

I mean, I would have appreciated some information about weed influencing my body and brain development before I am ~25. Then I might have waited that time or smoked less. Now I can only imagine if I might have become less of a scatterbrain. Instead I was told that all drugs are bad and they will make me addicted and push me to drug-related crimes, which did not turn out believable enough.

Well, that’s progress, innit? After you read A and B you set out to improve things further and it worked. That’s why you publish it.

(But don’t get me started on systematic problems in academic publishing which stop people from publishing their helpful results about not succeeding and also exaggerating the importance of their findings)
