Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Don't be on drugs at work. That's common decency. If you are on drugs at work you should be fired.
The problem is the tests for stuff like weed will flag you even if you smoked once in the last month.
You'd be far from impaired by then but still get sacked.
That is certainly a problem. I'm not against drug use, just being impaired during job duties. It's one reason truck drivers still can't smoke even in legal states. The other reason is they're under federal rules where weed is still schedule 1.
Wouldn’t that depend on what you do? Like what if you’re a painter?
A house painter still needs to be functional to do their job. You don't want an intoxicated house painters spilling paint, doing a bad job or falling off ladders. If you're talking about an artistic painter, I don't think many of those painters count that as a real job or would be counted as a real job.
