A) Easy way to weed out people who could be problematic (since it's still illegal in 48 states, if someone has smoked recently they may not be that interested in listening to authority...)
B) Something about liability/insurance
C) They want to control your life to the greatest extent possible without having legal action taken against them. If you have the job then they get to dictate which hours you have for personal time (by stating your shifts/day), they control what you wear at least while you're working, and more; this is simply one extra thing.

That said, companies can do alcohol tests, too, AFAIK, but the tests aren't nearly as easy/available as other drug tests and there's far less stigma against alcohol so it's not a common thing.

Saw a want ad for Huntington Bank and they do tobacco tests so that's also a thing.

I don't smoke and actually find it quite disgusting but I found that policy kind of weird. Like weird enough to where it turned me off from applying completely that and I really don't want a bank job.

I get the reasoning behind it (insurance shit I'd assume) but still

>why do you fuckers get to dictate what I do in my off hours?
Because so many idiots are doing it during working hours too.

The only reason there isn't a test for alcohol is because it clears the system in hours instead of days or weeks.

Were you born in the US? If so, I don't know why anyone would even have to ask such a silly question. You tip a delivery driver. You tip a waiter/waitress. If you're doing the legwork, you don't tip anything.

A) Hate to say, but most of the people in positions of "Authority" are not that worth listening to. Authority is derived from Respect, Respect is ultimately earned, not given, no matter how much your father may try to beat it into you. Most of these people are paying me to respect them, and not actually acting in manners in which I really respect. So I guess that's probably accurate, even if I make an exemplary employee (I fully have the ability to not be a dick to my bosses, even if they're not exactly people I would really follow).
B) Liability/Insurance. Oh, like Alcohol? Which you're also not allowed to use on the job? Or Cigarettes, cause of more productivity lost than anything else? I love the unspoken assumption that everyone who smokes weed is just a mindless junky, and that they aren't capable of shelving their habits while in a professional environment to get work done. I know many don't, but that generally because they're jobs are miserable and because they can be performed stoned, and the possibility of losing your shit at a customer goes way up for some of those people. But if you catch them smoking on the job, like drinking, fire their ass. I don't see the real goddamn problem there.
C) Yeah, they love to control my life and not offer me any real chance to move up the ladder. Then they turn around and wonder why I don't really respect them. Maybe it's because I can do these tech jobs stoned and they can't even do them.

And I know they have trouble testing for alcohol. They have trouble testing for every illicit drug except for Marijuana. If you look at the wikipedia page for drug tests, Marijuana is the only thing that can stay in your system for up to 2 months. Everything else can clear out in 2-7 days, especially with only light use (Hair Tests get everything up to 90 Days except Benzos, iirc. If they really cared about that shit, that's all they'd be doing). Hell I know people who got hired at my fucking Corporate Job who told me they switched to smoking Meth because it's easier to get by the drug tests with it.

Sorry, I'm not meaning to pick a bone with you, I'm just back in the job market and it's frustrating as shit. One of the best things I've ever had in my life for depression and general quality of life is preventing me from moving up in the world because of these asinine, arbitrary drug restrictions. It's fucking frustrating.

Rule of American tipping: You only tip when the service was personalized for you.

Someone delivering your pizza should, ideally, choose the most optimal route and drive in such a way that it gets to you fast but does not bounce around. If they are slow or the pizza comes slightly messed up, no tip.

When you're picking up the pizza, the joint went through the same motions to make your pizza as they would anyone else's; while your toppings might be customized, the service wasn't, and that's what you tip on.

it's not a case of understanding, everyone can understand him, it more the Edinburgh/east coast accent generally sounding really fucking dumb and it's impossible to take seriously (especially with that "eh" thing at the end, which coincidentally is where Canadians get it from since much of the stereotypical Canadian accent is just a fucked up Scottish one), especially when compared to the rough/aggressive sounding Glasgow/west coast accent.

This is true. Brushing can't reverse damage, only remove whatever sugar, bacteria and acid is on your tooth at the time, so damage you get in between brushings accumulates.
>> No. 389875
isn't it weird how teeth are so fragile and damage to the enamel is like the only kind that the body can't repair???
like, bones heal, flesh heals, the body flushes out toxins, organ damage can be reversed, but you chip your tooth, tough shit buddy, it's chipped for life.
people should have teeth like sharks. one of your teeth gets fucked up somehow? rip that sumbitch out, it'll grow back.

This world is full of imperfections. Errors. Mistakes. Pain. Suffering. Wrong things.
>> No. 389892
>>389875
Ah, actually, the reason for that is because our teeth interlock. Interlocking teeth makes for better chewing (thus increasing the net amount of energy we can absorb from food without having to overpower our digestive tracts), but makes eternally regrowing teeth the way sharks do pretty much impossible. They actually consider interlocking teeth to be the defining trait that lead to the differentiation between reptiles and mammals when the mammal-like-reptiles came about, as it meant we could only have two sets of teeth--baby teeth and adult teeth, and that necessitated the development of new ways of feeding young, thus giving rise to milk.

So yeah. That's one of the things that makes us mammals. And it's especially important with humans since it's believed that the reduction in the amount of energy we spend on digestion (cooking food is another big part of that) is a big part of why we're able to devote so much energy to brain power.

planning on it testing to see if its swelling first so I'm giving it a couple of days and treating it to see if its a pustule or something. it doesn't feel like an actual mass as its kinda bumpy and not as lumpy as why I've felt on dogs and such. Just that leg feels harder overall since its my dominant leg

It was me. I actually cursed him. This is spooky as fuck. Two days or so ago I actually was like "Wait, didn't one of Ghostbusters already die?" and looked it up to find that none of them did at that point. And I was like "Weird, I swear one of them did."
