Just adding my voice to the list. Was super excited, probably not going to buy it now. I sure hope EA is behind this because I sure did like you guys, I've put in a hell of a lot of hours to Maxis games and seeing you guys go darkside hits me right in the childhood. Really unless you have some sort of magical coding technology that makes it uncrackable. Which you don't, because no one does. People are now INFINITELY more likely to pirate your game, not less. To the point where people who buy your game might still pirate it!

Let me break this down for you. All always online DRM means is that.

  1. Everyone who was going to pirate it already will still do so

  2. A group of people who were considering buying it will now pirate it.

  3. A much smaller group, but one that still exists will take the time to learn things about piracy, as it will help them remove your DRM. This then produces people in group 1 and 2. So not only are YOU losing sales you are then making everyone else lose them too.

Seriously when will companies figure this out. DRM is a fact of life and I'm ok with that, always online DRM hurts you AND us.

We can take smoke breaks if we like prettymuch whenever. But we're also really internally strict on making sure people aren't to high to do their jobs. If you get a rep for fucking up because you can't handle your breaks you're gonna find yourself not taking those breaks anymore and the bosses will watch you all the more. I do tend to like having a single hit or two before a shift and on my lunch to keep myself from being overly anxious as I'm a bit of an excitable guy without some ganja.

I was hired as a security guard for a local dispensary. I was then competent and persistent enough that they kept giving me jobs to do til I was basically running one of their stores. As for competition, it depends. We certainly put a large emphasis on customer retention as there is little effort involved in going somewhere else if you don't like our service or product.

Make sure you're getting indica dominant strains first off. While sativa or indicas can cause anxiety sativas are the ones most well known for it. There's a decent app/website for checking what the genetics on any particular strain called Leafly. Past that I would say for a lot of people having something to keep your mind engaged can help with the anxiety, often times cannabis is very good at amplifying what you are feeling or expecting to feel so going into it with a fun plan or at least something enjoyable, a meal, bath, music can help with that feeling as well.

IIRC I'm pretty sure the rule is that no cannabis related products can be consumed within 20 feet of the building. Which is the prop 215 ruling. We've measured the distance to the lot a block away we smoke in, we promise it's more than 20 feet.
