That’s why most get a 30yr mortgage and/or find a “good enough” house vs dream house. Or you get down the line and it appreciates in value and you pay off when you sell. Only about 1/3 of people have no mortgage.
As for 10 to 1 - not always. But I hear you. It’s why I relocated for 5 years. Needed capital!

The graveyard of the Pacific. The maritime museum in Astoria OR has amazing history on the Columbia and surrounding coast.

Not just while driving. Having greasy surfaces kills millions every year! Haven't you heard??
Why do you hate the children?

> Mushrooms aren’t a crutch. That’s just the thing. A trip isn’t gonna cure your ailments. It’s going to make you think differently for a bit, but when it wears off you’re back at square one. No one needs to do mushrooms to “survive.” You’re out here romanticizing powerful drugs.
Crutches don’t cure ailments either. Crutches help people function when they can’t stand or walk on their own. If they put their crutches down, they’re back to not being able to walk. No one needs crutches to survive. No one needs to be a dick on the internet either. You’re out here minimizing the usefulness of tools that help some people function.
Being physically unable to function and being mentally hung up on something that’s completely demoralizing aren’t very different. Some people go to church for that sense of hope. Some people feel like religion is gross and manipulative. Some people do yoga or play music or any number of things. Some people go to therapy and take powerful medications. Some peopl appreciate a substance that allows them to see and think differently because it helps make further growth possible. Some people don’t limit themselves to a simplistic view of the world.
Some people who don’t understand the power of psychedelics or the mind, who aren’t curious about either of them and who don’t think a psychological condition can prevent a person from overcoming trauma like to think there’s no way anyone could benefit from them, but those people are in fact wrong.
Edit: added something

Why not 0.04? That is the limit for pilots. Also the limit for pharmacists in AZ

‘Travel Lens gave Olympic National Park a score of 7.75/10 based on the number of visitors each year, entrance fees, distance to the closest city, and the percentage of reviews with the word "beautiful."’
What shitty metrics… Gates of the Arctic is absolutely gorgeous yet is visited by less that 10k in a year, that has no impact on how good of a park it is. Hell, that’s not true, so few visitors makes it even better IMO
Also, Fuck Sinclair

Is an antidepressant a crutch to get through every day life that deserves the same scrutiny? Just about any psychoactive drug can and will be abused by someone, that doesn't mean they can't help when taken properly under the supervision of a professional. It's not worth discarding a potential treatment because people might abuse it

Either you have two people making six figure incomes buying the house or you start out buying a condo, there's very few people on a single income who can afford a house in the Seattle area

Thank you for expanding on the earlier post, I appreciate it and do agree to a certain extent.
I do believe going the way of OR, and decriminalizing and legalizing for treatment would be a big step forward.

Reply to comment by Fr0stbite37 in Anybody from Pasco, WA? That's sort of where I grew up, left in 2004 and haven't returned for 18 years. I found a photo of my eight grade class from 1999-2000 at Isaac Stevens. About 10% of the picture was eaten by fungus after sitting in the attic for so long. If you're in the pic, we probably met. by Voracious_Port

Because of the strong current from the Columbia?
I think 'current' isn't the right word...
