  • Well yes, as it stands this is currently only showing correlation and not causation, but that doesn't mean there ISN'T causation. Amount of rainfall correlates with umbrella usage, because amount of rainfall causes umbrella usage. You can't claim a causational relationship until causation is specifically proven, but until then it's reasonable to tentatively infer causation if the correlation fits with other evidence. In this case, mushroom use and not wasting your life on the grind fit the evidence enough to tentatively infer causation.

  • No, you can't paint that broad of a stroke. It's true that crypto INVESTING might be no better gambling, but crypto wasn't invented to be an investment tool, it was invented to be a financial transaction tool, and in that regard it has some real utility.

  • Exactly this. We've been horribly burned by this trap before. You have to assume that every poll is wrong, and every trend is about to end. You have to always act as if your candidate is going to lose unless YOU do everything you can do to help them win.

  • It's very satisfying, kinda like how you feel after you just finished eating a big meal. A significant portion of that satisfying feeling is caused by the chemical dependence that the nicotine addiction itself caused in the first place, but that doesn't change the fact that the feeling is very satisfying.

  • As an old head i can tell you, the word molly didn't even exist until 10+ years after ecstasy became a thing. "Ecstasy" meant MDMA. If you want you can look up articles from the time and you'll see. The meaning of the words may have switched over time, but for the first decade-ish of its existence on the scene the word "ecstasy" meant MDMA. Ecstasy originally was just MDMA, but I can imagine a situation in which the drug called ecstasy started being cut with other stuff, so people had to come up with a new word to refer to the original uncut substance again.
