+16 Figuring out what is priced and why is probably one of the most important, yet difficult, parts of the job. It requires both diligence and intuition. I’ll break it into a couple parts: Secyh62
+16 While I'm not necessarily "scared" like some here commenting, it certainly has changed before your eyes. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+16 Bro... 1g isn't a micro dose. That's easily enough to cause visual field distortions / make you trip. But yeah you're right, would 10/10 not recommend chomping a gram of mushrooms during work lmao Elite_Bulge
