Except not, because it doesn’t impair the actual task. It never impaired me at all. I’m willing to concede that maybe lightweights should not smoke and drive, but even then, it’s not as bad as driving drunk, or even as bad as drivinmg tired or while talking on a cell phone. ---

What if you’re stoned, tired, and talking to your buddy on a cellphone about how wasted you are, even if he’s in the car with you, because, like, calling a guy who’s only three feet away is LIKE SO FUCKING FUNNY, MAAAANNNNN? ---

This is my favorite part of Diogenes threads, where he either claims that he didn’t say stuff that he clearly (and quotably) did, or claims that cites say things they don’t, or best of all, both. It cracks me up that he is expecting us to buy, “I never felt impaired when I was stoned so therefore I was not impaired.” Riiiiiight. I just bet he didn’t! ---

Heavy pot use does indeed impair cognitive functions long-term - I give you **Dio** as the evidence. 🙂 ---

Dio, you claim to have a 160 IQ. Shouldn’t you have been able to come up with the hypothesis that, even if you were impaired, it wouldn’t hurt your grades, since you are already at a higher level than anyone else? And that’s all I’m going to say, since the rest would be feeding your trolery. That’s honestly the only way I can believe you can switch between being a perfectly intelligent poster to the childishness of claiming you didn’t say what anybody can just look up and read that you’ve said. I really can’t find any other way you can switch from skeptical mindset to Fundie–believing that your experiences mean more than citable data. ---

Excuse me, but I have NOT denied having said anything that I said. If you think that’s so easily provable then prove it. Show me the quote where I said something, and then show me the quote where I denied having said it. ---

> [@alice\_in\_wonderland](#): > > I wonder if I start a new thread **Cartooniverse** might come back and finish his story without **Dio** making everything all about him. I hope so. I thought **Cartooniverse** ’s OP was a great rant, and I’d love to know more about what happened. The hijack is just more **Diogenes** ’ Experience Trumping All, and it’s boring. He never changes his mind, no matter what cites you bring. ---

1.) I’m suspicious of the fact that \*\*Cartooniverse \*\*has never responded to say that he _did_, in fact, view the security tapes. 2.) Smoking pot has nothing to do with somebody’s likeliness to steal shit. \*\*This particular pothead \*\*happens to be a fucking loser. 3.) Coming to an event fucked up as a client is not remotely comparable to coming to the same event fucked up as a vendor. The person paying for something is only cheating themself; the person being paid would be cheating everyone who gave them money. 4.) Shut the fuck up, **Dio**. 5.) No, seriously–_shut the fuck up, **Dio**._ ---
