That's an interesting insight. Could it be a product of the difficulty in dosing mushrooms in a private setting, though? I'd imagine trips to generally go smoother if it's possible to aim for an intended level of weirdness mo

I'm curious, which parts of the story can be easily refuted?

Damn, citing game on point.

Alternatively just chug some WD40.

Ah yes, I hadn't mentally added the Minority Report angle to my dystopian visions of the future, but you're completely right...

It might be worth it to experiment with a lower dose of Melatonin -- 3mg is still way above the .3-1mg dose usually seen as 'most effective'. (See https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/10/melatonin-much

Correlation and causation, yes... Once correlation starts to wink at you and leaves their number on a napkin, it might be time to put the clues together though.

It would be entirely possible to 'change the world' just by transforming the monetary system though, would it not? Yes, that is in itself a goal with political undercurrents and ultimately would clearly involve political decisions

It's 2020, my first instinct was to look at the sky to try and spot the impending supernova.

Shouldn't Libertarians be outraged by this kind of thing? No better way to screw up competition than to make it impossible to win against a much larger company in court...

You are correct. I found this video quite enlightening, particularly the part starting at 5:58: https://youtu.be/zT_0SULHCJI The SJW-left is indeed redefining the word 'racism' to fit their own power-based view of

They are allowed to point out racism perpetrated against them though, are they not?

That's gwern for you... it's unbelievable how much effort he puts into the things he's researching. Check out his 'nootropics' article for example.

What about 'Eigen'? There only seems to be a C++ library of that name yet, so not too much overlap. And I like its nerdy implication of 'yes, we are only one Matrix client, but we strive to be an important one' ;)

I'd hoped it was clear from the ridiculous comparison that I was being entirely sarcastic, but you are correct in assuming that people have some strange opinions nowadays :p It could indeed be a problem if large parts of the economy we

Fusion technology is very dangerous though. Just think what would happen to my Bitcoin portfolio if energy was suddenly almost-free :/

Presumably because that kind of camouflage confuses face-tracking technology the worst.

God damn, couldn't you have put a Not Safe For Soul tag there? :(

I feel the same, and honestly, I think it's a major disadvantage. Being able to breathe through your nose exclusively even while exercising seems insane to me.

I imagine it would depend greatly on whether the beam was set to 'Max' or 'Defrost'.

Facts are facts, and if somebody publishes an article spreading falsehoods, the discussion of those points should begin and end with "yeah, that's wrong, please get your story straight".

I found r/chairsunderwater while looking for a subreddit that could help me pick out a new office chair. r/chairs has 800 people subscribed. r/chairsunderwater has 115k. It's just reddit things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn, that's a nice one as well :D As a side-note, I'm quite disappointed that r/DMT does not pop up when starting with r/JoeRogan...

The most interesting graph I could find so far: https://anvaka.github.io/sayit/?query=chairsunderwater Speaking of which, it'd be awesome if the site could automatically generate multi-reddits from the results. I

The pushback is totally justified. Because this is about "you have to say what we command you to", instead of "you should just not be a dick".
