They don’t really mention if it’s illegal or not to their reasoning. They only use three parameters for the decision.
They argue for points 2 (health risk) and 3 (commonly abused), both of which cigarettes and alcohol fit right in, but are unrestricted.
That would make sense if they were looking for CBD, which is the chemical that causes the relaxing effect of weed, not THC which more or less just gives the “high” feeling. You can easily get CBD from hemp and WADA actually removed it from their ban list in 2019.
There are also plenty of allowed substances that can help you relax, even prescription-only. They would have to ban things like; alcohol (never gonna happen), dramamine (antiemetic), diphenhydramine (antihistamine), gabapentin (anticonvulsant, Rx-only), etc… These, while primarily used for other purposes, all are occasionally used for their sedating effects and to my knowledge are all allowed.
There was also the argument that while yes, it does help with relaxing, it will actually decrease performance on the whole.
Meanwhile Sha’Carri (US running) was DQ’d previously for having THC in her system. Still trying to wrap my head around how pot can help you run faster.
They weren’t concerned about CBD or anything else, just the psychoactive THC.
Klarna is permanently on my do not trust list, as what I experienced told me they can’t manage their system correctly. And for someone who can put a derogatory mark on your credit, I’m not risking it.
(Bear in mind when I got the first email, just to be safe, I paid off the remaining balance the Friday of that week.)
I figured they caught and corrected it, so no harm, no foul.
When I tried using them at the end of the month however, (I think for upgrading my comp) they rejected my finance request. I wasn’t sure, but I had my suspicions it was due to their fuck-up as I only used them once.
3 weeks later, they sent this.

Did you read the article?
It explains that their daughter’s experience more or less opened their eyes to the treatment as a whole. (As in not just their family) It may be spun that way, but for two (likely groomed) 70’s+ republicans in a primarily red state, to have any diverging beliefs from their party is a good thing. It shows that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, while admittedly slow (and shouldn’t be necessary), is showing progress, even if it’s small.
As another user mentioned, they could have just disowned their granddaughter, like a lot of bigots do. I’ve seen it happen and know a few people that it happened to. It’s not a good feeling being alone in the world because your family doesn’t agree with your identity.
I say that while the fight is still going on, we can at least enjoy this, albeit tiny, victory.

It made me a bit concerned too, with being near Atlanta on work.
If you’re unfamiliar, the theme to House is a portion of one of their songs. (also just a single facet of their style)

They’re using full disk encryption, which won’t let any part of it be read (even its partition table to boot the OS) until a password is entered. A system using FDE will go straight from POST to a password prompt.
A lot of people like FDE as it makes the encryption completely invisible to the OS and would normally have zero compatibility issues be problem-free.

A lot of them though, are either ambivalent or just deny his instability
