I'll check the book out! Admittedly I do have trouble with remembering to practice my mindfulness exercises semi-often but it's from the reverse end of the spectrum. I was lucky enough to get diagnosed when I was young so I'v

A lot of that is just time though. A pressure cooker isn't a difficult item to acquire and it's hardly suspicious. Even in America, it's mainly difficult in states like California and that's only because of the increased

These are the two I was thinking of. If you're trying to optimize for quality then there's difficulty. But simply hiding a weed plant and getting a yield isn't difficult unless you live in a colder climate. Shrooms are so eas

This has been what I've read as well. Unless a massive and coordinated entity like Five Eyes has decided to focus a significant amount of its resources on you, bitcoin mixers seem to provide 'adequate' levels of obfuscation.

To be fair, I can't speak to opioids but cannabis and natural psychedelics are already very simple to produce. The main reason not to try them isn't because they're hard it's because of not wanting to fail a drug test fo

How much of it would you define as meditation in the traditional sense? I've got ADHD(is it just ADD now? I know one got lumped into the other) too and I do a lot of introspection but it tends to be during intermittent times in my day

A lot of these are good suggestions but they seem more like management level decisions than decisions that fall on the broader category of 'everyone in SV' which is what it seemed like you were discussing when you talked about SV

I think recognizing why we feel a certain way is important but a little different than what the article is discussing at face value. A lot of what the article discussed seemed to describe people feeling added emotional stress because of a r

This doesn't really make sense, at least from how I've read your comment, once details come into play though. What does being 'less screwed up' actually look like at an individual level? Beyond not physically/verbal

Your argument doesn't make any sense. Investigating one group doesn't preclude investigating the other.

I don't know much about Google's diversity programs, how do they advertise? I'm mainly asking because it seems like if someone is pursuing an internship then they're already indicating an above average interest in the su

Pure anecdote, but I feel like there's been a shift in terms of speech/expression philosophy. At home and in school, so-cal for context, I was taught to practice tolerance. Not because every person or peoples were good in their ow

Could you explain? I won't lie, most of the watches are a hassle visually. But, I can read the time from them so long as I ignore all of the extra hands and dials that are there, probably, to lend additional accuracy.

This right here. It's a fine line. I feel like the parent comment is implying like it's an easily exploited line but that's my personal intuition so I'll defend it in isolation. Put simply, if Michael Jordan, Shaq, or an

I mean this without any intention to be rhetorical, but, how common is sending emails to plan an event? For anyone I meet in real life I either talk to them in real life, message them on discord, or call them on the phone. I've got not

I'm not sure I understand the conclusion you're trying to reach here. At first I thought your point was that lower prices are somehow bad for the consumer but you never expand on that point at all. The only coherent thesis I could

I've been doing similar. I realize that some people prefer to spend their money, including grocery shopping, somewhat spontaneously and for those people credit cards are probably a bad idea. But if you plan a monthly budget ahead of ti

I'd make a secondary argument as well, I think we're experiencing a decline in traditional romanticism. A lot of the arts whether they be artistic or literary were historically supported via patronage. That hasn't changed...

I realize the irony of this reply since there is in fact a throwaway account replying to you as well. That said, I think both things can be a problem. I'd consider all of the stories and leaks out of Uber to be problematic, I'm ce

Building on this, there's also less anonymity with gossip in my experience. If I trace back a malicious rumor to /u/PeanutCurry on reddit, that's essentially where the trail ends most likely. I have no idea who they are
