I'm unfamiliar with life in America, but why don't you just eat at a cheap no-frills restaurant instead of buying groceries and spending time to cook all of that food? Are those restaurants not available within walking distance, o

For me personally, the fun effect of psychedelics in any dose is a total repulsion of alcohol and junk food for perhaps a day or two after dosing. Only want to eat salads, fruit, veggies. I wonder if anyone else also noticed that.

This is still an open question. There are a couple of studies that small regular doses of psilocin in rats and regular huge doses of MDMA in humans may or may not cause heart issues. Decent summary: https://thethirdwave.co/p

Hey Samat, I am pretty sure that AWS knows exactly what they're doing. They don't want to lose money by hosting objectionable content, and then lose customers to Aliyun or Russian cloud providers.

Would you say that a person would be more motivated or less motivated to learn new things every day and work insanely hard if they receive UBI, get income redistributed to them from richer neighbors, receive free goods and services, and als

I think the reason why this discussion causes so much resentment is the failure to acknowledge that people don't only get rich thanks to their parents and the implied accusation that wealth is the result of privilege, not effort. I thi

I am against banning anything like that, but I hope you also realize that some people would involuntarily waste years of their life and completely destroy themselves playing it. The addiction is real and harmful.

Eventually they just want to whitelist the "good" sites and make it harder to access small independent sites, further centralizing the web and getting more tools to censor content. Imagine that they would make it hard to access a

Why delete though? Just keep it inactive. I use my account maybe like a few times a year, as well as a couple of fake accounts for logins to other sites. I think it will hurt more if you don't delete the account but don't use it m
