A few of my favorite genres: * very drunk single women talking about how no one loves them and fishing for comments from wackos telling them how beautiful they are * working class people streaming their entire shifts. Something mesmerizing

There are two factors at play when we talk about free speech. 1. The legal protections which are currently very strong in the US 2. The culture of free speech As much as we like to think of law as impartial, the legal regime is downstream o

I’m thinking of backcountry hunting applications personally. When I’ve been completely away from cellular service and put my phone on airplane mode and low brightness it goes for several days without a charge as a (not always on) gps and ca

I’m always confused by how many people believe that it would be trivial to put screen hardware in front of a camera without negatively affecting image quality. I’ll take an even marginally better front facing camera over getting rid of the

The ones that are going to be hurting right away are Garmin with their InReach line and Zoleo. This covers the most important thing that backcountry types pay monthly fees and carry an extra device for, which are emergencies, but Apple didn

Amongst psychedelic therapists it’s pretty normal to include Ketamine under the rubric of psychedelics these days, even though receptor purists might still object. Same is true of MDMA. From a subjective experience there’s no doubt that it’

I’m basically an atheist and ketamine assisted psychotherapy did change my background fear of mortality very much in a before and after sort of way. It felt more like a different relationship to time and free will. Like a realization that t

The shorter duration is also more common with lower dose IV infusions. There is evidence that higher concentrations (usually delivered infra-muscularly or sublingually), and the k-hole experience OP describes delivers more long lasting resu

I love how the narrator pluralizes shaman as shamen. Subtle way to cast the unreliable narrator, but I’ll probably start using this construction now.

There was (or is?) a guy in Vancouver who would stroll around his neighborhood singing opera at full volume. I’ve had lots of conversations with people who bring him up in groups and we all trade stories the first time we heard him, and we

It's hard for me to understand how someone can hold this view, and it's hard to know where to start, but no. As capitalism has expanded it has dramatically reduced absolute poverty. It's not even close, and the change only go

It will take a while to determine which jobs lose or gain productivity from WFH. Some regimented jobs like radiologists, or call centres we’re doing a lot of WFH well before the pandemic. Jobs that require focus probably also benefit, but i

The most important thing I learned about cast iron is that the idea that you have to baby it is a hold over from the days when soap had lye in it. Today’s dish detergent is fine and won’t damage your seasoning, neither will basic green ny

This looks more like a fun thing to do with your kids if you have a lot of disposable income and either no time or no ambition. It's more comparable to the aerogarden [1], because it's in no serious way going to provide you with f

Yeah, subsidiarity or lack thereof can get messy, but it’s not that unusual to get different answers from different levels of government. It’s a totally different situation when a private duopoly or oligopoly supersedes democratic control.

I was simply pointing out that your absolute statement that it’s “a systemic toxin” has holes in it since there are valid medical uses. I wasn’t claiming that nicotine use is appropriate for kids, although there are likely medical uses of s

Yet basically 100% of the societies started post agricultural revolution made alcohol central to their cultures. If it were such a no brainer you’d think that somewhere in the last 10,000 years a society would have found alcohol-free optima

An important point here is that traditional use of nicotiana rustica was more far more widespread than nicotiana tabacum. This was a much more potent (higher concentration of nicotine), and people would smoke less and less frequently. The o

The subtlety is that the hyper stimuli of modern porn streaming, while lascivious on the inside, is leading to something that looks like puritanism on the outside, hence the drop in actual sex.
