What is Tweaker Shit? I’m Australian, so not up on US terminolgy :-)

  I would guess tweaker shit is the type of drivel one comes up with whilst tweaking (i.e. being under the influence of amphetamines).

  Speed blogging a solution to the worlds problems manifesto between alternating lines of coke and meth. I'm not sure if that fits the author in this instance, but that's certainly the image I walk away with from the GP comment.

    To downvoters - look up tweaking in urban dictionary and imagine something worse before clicking that arrow. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tweaking https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tweaking

  I thought this a little odd, as I know Australia is no stranger to Meth, so I googgled. Lol, tweaker has a completely different meaning in Oz https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/spin-or-substance-should-australia-play-two-tweakers-at-the-scg-20211230-p59kyu.html https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/spin-or-substance-shoul... https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3314826/kuhnemann-turns-to-veteran-tweaker-for-subcontinent-edge https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3314826/kuhnemann-turns-to-v...

    In Canada Poppers are mixing tobacco with Cannabis In the US Poppers is Amyl Nitrate and used for relaxing your rectum for anal sex. When I showed Canadians urban dictionary and what Americans call poppers they couldn't believe it

      In fairness, I'm Canadian and I have never heard anyone describe mixing tobacco and weed as a "popper".

  In Australian terms it's the text you receive from your friend a few minutes after he disappears into a pub toilet accompanied by a guy wearing wraparound sunnies and holding a rolled-up $5 note.

Doesn't methamphetamine suppress the appetite?

My _exact_ reaction. I have a couple friends who'll send me rants like this (obviously not as thoughtful, but similarly toned and spaced) on Messenger at 3am and then apologize the next day and say they had too much wine and vyvanse. Replace vyvanse with speed, adderall, blow, meth, etc. - enough of any of them will bring you to a similar place (for the inexperienced user, specifically). One of the biggest tells of stim-brain is the feeling of grandiose and sure mindedness. You feel so, so certain that you've got it _all_ figured out, and you've _finally_ got the words flying off your fingertips explaining it all flawlessly. The writing usually sucks, though, since you don't take the time to edit. Just stream-of-consciousness it all into the doc. Occasionally fun to code with, extremely annoying to have to read or listen to. Anyway - I know nothing about marca's habits and I won't pretend to. Just a funny observation.

Founders Fund were throwing parties with psychedelics [1] and that there is a culture of harder drug use amongst the San Francisco CEO class. Makes you wonder if Marc is part of it given most of the people mentioned are close friends. https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-microdosing-ketamine-lsd-magic-mushrooms-d381e214 https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-microdosing-keta...

  There is a culture of harder drug use in all of SF and tech in general.

    There is a culture of drug use in this country in general. Seems like everybody is on something whether prescribed, self medicating, or recreational.
