Don't forget Lost Highway. But nothing compares to Mulholland Dr.

Because there's an actual real world, with real people around us that we could be interacting with, rather than staring at a smartphone screen?

I agree. Really poorly done - I'm surprised this is on the front page of HN.

Add to that, your direct boss and team not being assholes/idiots.

He could've also just, y'know, stopped consuming garbage lactose.

Brightcove. Completely terrible company - some of the most cliquey, horrible people I've ever had the displeasure of working with.

So good to see someone mention Randy Pausch. The Last Lecture was such a poignant speech. RIP, Randy and your father-in-law. Truly an evil disease. Link for anyone that hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it: https://www.b

But think of the children! It is stunning how shallow this letter is. It's so easy to see through it. 1984 rings more true with each passing day. "It was meant to be a warning, not a manual."

I've always liked "Ride like everyone else is trying to kill you, because they are." Myself, I'm a cyclist, but a lot of motorcycle rules and bike rules overlap.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. All of my aforementioned foods have the complete spectrum of amino acids.

Do those folks know that peas, tofu, nuts, etc. have protein too?

Why is that obvious, or logical? He expanded his consciousness with plant compounds. If anything, I think the argument is: he would've done less. Do you realize how much Carl Sagan achieved?

by Japhy_Ryder 7y ago
How do you know that? What about that Carl Sagan guy? What a filthy worthless pothead, he did nothing of significance... (Note: Carl Sagan was a huge advocate for marijuana, and credits it to the development of 'Cosmos' and some

How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan.

Who cares if you're "aligned with a mission"? It's a paycheck.

That's actually a good thing. Meat is bad for the environment, your health, and it goes without saying - the animals.

by Japhy_Ryder 7y ago
That is an excellent summary, and I _highly_ recommend everyone go read Michael Pollan's "How to Change Your Mind". I actually recommend the audiobook, as it is read by Pollan himself.

Yeah, I completely agree. Not only these kind of posts, but 99.9% of self-help books too. The answer, in general, comes down to: get good rest, meditate, drink enough water, and get some damn work done. Coffee as needed.

> I know people who do eat fake meat to be healthier I know people that drink fruit juice (sugar) all the time thinking they'll get healthier but end up getting fat. Point is? People are dumb. It's not the product's fault.

> It is difficult to believe it's sincere. I believe it's sincere. Sincere in the interest of the multibillion dollar meat industry agenda.

Thank you - brilliantly said. Not to mention the WHO classified red meat as a carcinogen[1] I don't think they've got plant-based burgers on that list yet (or ever will). So again - healthier. 1. https://www.who.int&#
