  • I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker for the government employees running the hiring process. Trust me, I know some UK civil servants and after the initial drugs test, most of them were very happy to resume their various indulgences.

    The trouble is that you can’t be seen to employ someone to work for the federal government when they are technically committing a federal felony.

    I reckon the vast majority from the lower level employees to the higher ups would LOVE to have weed, LSD, and other recreational drugs at least de-scheduled if not legalised, regulated, and taxed.

    It’s politically difficult, especially in a country as socially right-wing as the US (on average, I’m aware attitudes vary from state to state).

    So first of all, I’m glad you’re getting professional help because being self-aware and having the courage to reach out and tackle your demons head on is tough. Keep up the good fight mate.

    But you’re going to have to be more specific when saying “pull a Hemmingway” because that fucker did a lot.

    So you’re either going to rip a skylight out of a ceiling onto your head, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg whilst aiming at a shark twice, publish a Pulitzer prize novel, contravene the Geneva Convention, work for the KGB, be investigated by the FBI for obvious reasons, have several car accidents, cheat on your current wife then divorce then marry the other woman repeatedly, get mauled by a lion, or start hunting Nazi U-Boats with a machine gun and a handful of grenades.

    Using Reddit on web is no good for me since I can’t look at it during work and at home I’d rather watch YouTube.

    Baconreader was the only 3rd party app I liked and now Connect for Lemmy is a good replacement for it to check occasionally.

    I also like that there’s less new posts compared with Reddit so I now spend more time reading than I did before.

    Also the community here feels much more welcoming.

    Up Lemmy!
