And what are your alternative solutions, anyway? Get her on some other drug with some other crazy side-effects Verb, I know you mean well, but please don't stigmatize depression medication. They saved my sister's life, and many others, and they do work, often with minimal side effects.
You mean don't do exactly what you're doing? If she's been smoking with for three months with nothing but positive effects, I can't say I sympathize too much with your whole "marijuana is not medication" point. Especially when it is medication. I've already recommended that she obtain the stuff legally and with her doctor's recommendation. I'm glad your sister was able to use whatever else to help her depression, but understand that different drugs affect different people differently. My only "stigmatization" of depression medication was that they tend have a laundry list of potential side-effects, whereas pot has basically none. If OP's sister only begun smoking a week ago, my response would've been a little different. So, sorry, but your whole response just seems very out-of-touch, like you physically became one of those old cheesy anti-drug adverts from the '90s, back when the only thing anyone knew about pot was that it "killed brain cells" when it actually doesn't at all?

If all she's doing is trying to manage her depression, then just let her. Like you said, she's going to do it regardless of what you do, so there's no point in getting all upset over it. And what are your alternative solutions, anyway? Get her on some other drug with some other crazy side-effects? If it works for her, then that should be a good thing. Maybe not the ideal thing, but a good thing nonetheless.
It's great that you're looking out for her, though. Keep an eye out on her, and talk it out with her every once in awhile. Ask her if she's considered counselling or therapy. If you live in a state where pot isn't legal yet, ask her if she's considered the consequences of being caught. If it's legal only for medical purposes, get her a card (or however that works).
No matter what, it's gonna be fine. Both of you just need to be smart about it.
More often than not, people quit smoking pot on their own, when they feel that they're better off without it. You can't control her, so just try to be considerate and cooperative with her. You sound like a good brother, so everything's gonna be okay.

The only thing I can think when I watch people play this is "Why should I play this when Elite: Dangerous already exists?"
because being constrained to a cockpit seems boring as hell

Saying a currently running presidential candidate should be killed is a crime. No. Saying "I'm going to kill the president" is.

Can we ever have a thread on here where the people who are playing a game can fucking enjoy it and talk about it with one another without other users bitching back and forth
No
we have to care whether or not we can see other players for
some reason
"we have to care that things the developer said would be In the game aren't in the game"
I don't get why this is so confusing to you
Probably your alkaline diet
"we also have to act like this is a big deal or something that won't get fixed later"

As much as I defend the prequels, I have to concede that there are a handful of lines that I couldn't possibly defend.
This is one of them. Your defense of the prequels can only mean one thing....
that i have better taste than all of you

Going to sleep isn't defeat, staying up all night bitching on forums is actually loss.
So... you lose?

No, YOU'RE clearly getting beat. I'm shredding apart each and every single one of his shitty points.
Delusions of Grandeur are not counters.
Misuse of psychological terms in a futile effort to sound intelligent doesn't make you so. He already conceded defeat. Now it's your turn.

You can express whatever asinine opinions you want. I never said that you can't be your shitty self. Just don't go fucking with people's lives and trying to prevent people from living their lives.
Which I never do anyway, and never would. So what have you contributed to this thread? As usual, nothing. Oh well. Thanks for admitting that I'm right.

Also, you and your opinions don't frighten and/or upset anyone.
Yet you're somehow implying that they COULD frighten or upset people, and that I shouldn't have the right to say what I want to say, because that would be "CENSORSHIP." You're a joke.

Having toxic vitriol spewed at the developers from every direction, trying to go after their employment, and trying to pry into their real life so you can silence whatever perceived wrongdoing they may have committed is basically a method of censorship. This goes in the "threat" bin, which I've already covered. You're helping my point. Thanks. The ACLU is also one of the most well-known and respected non-profit organizations in the country, so you can't just say "Oh, fuck them, they don't matter." Yes. I can.

"Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups." And that's not what's happening. There are no private pressure groups. No one is holding a gun to a Capcom developer's head and saying "Change this or die."
Tell that to these dudes 
Thanks for linking to me to a vague headline instead of the article itself.

They didn't stop what they were doing at the request of a bunch of crazy pricks and ending up dying.
Then that's a shame. I'm not saying this sort of thing never happens. But it's pretty rare.

I specifically said they're not having knives held to their throats. Then it can't be described as censorship. Being "intimidated" into doing something without being threatened to do so does not constitute censorship, and I don't give a fuck what the ACLU thinks of that. Free speech is free speech. If I don't like something, I'm going to speak out against it to have it fucking changed. It doesn't become censorship until I start using threats, which would be wrong. But if my opinions intimidate you, I don't give a fuck. Fuck you and your feelings. The "private pressure group" in this type of situation is merely the types of angry Twitter mobs that you'd most likely gleefully take part in so you can feel morally righteous and like you just did something important. Just because they're not having their lives or their company's existence directly threatened doesn't mean they can't be pressured into submitting via badgering. I don't care. People have the right to badger the living fuck out of whatever they want, as long as they're not crossing the line into harassment and threatening territory.

Localization where they censor the medium just because some are offended = censorship.
When people are harassing devs, and they submit = censorship.
The reasoning is irrelevant. If the developer mandates the change, it's not censorship. Period.
If anything, a developer submitting to the deeds of their buyers is the exact opposite of censorship.
If it's people who are not the devs who want change, and the devs have to change it because of those people = censorship.
They DON'T have to change it. Ever. They do it because they want to.
What you're basically arguing is that game developers don't have a right to personal autonomy when it comes to their own products. They're not ALLOWED to change their products, because YOU said so. You fascist pig.
They do it because hordes of neurotic busybodies like yourself will flood their social media and corporate sites with vitriol demanding they change whatever triviality might have offended their rigid code of acceptability.
And they have every goddamn right to do that.That doesn't mean they're being forced, and it doesn't make it censorship.
