The article mentions Cover Story: Power Trip podcast which I finished last night and enjoyed so much. It’s by New York Magazine and the folks at Psymposia. Highly recommend as a balancing counterpoint to all the positive hype about psyche

Looks like you're getting downvoted maybe because of the mean spirit of your comment, but your idea is probably held by many, to which I say: Therapy can be such a powerful force for self-discovery and mental well-being. To think that

Great description and agreed. I had a similar experience with a bad manager, with similar outcomes. CEO and CTO felt bad about the issues, said they respected me for how I handled the situation, offered a severance even though I was with th

As others have said, replacing battery is fairly straightforward for 6s, I did it a couple times on mine until replacing a few months back. Look for the higher capacity batteries, I had luck with Amazon. Will take you probably 30 mins to sw

I see the terms as a donation or grant. The money still is a loan (vs a grant), but the terms are well below "market" in order to support the non-profit's cause.

Every morning I wake up with attention on my dreaming process. I write down my dreams that I remember in my phone and later transfer them to my dream journal app on my laptop. I review my dreams periodically, typically once a week at night

Maybe that's their point, but it's not convincing if it's using made-up information, which is my point. The inflation argument is not very convincing to me either. Both of those measures (inflation, budget) are objective fact

Ah, thank you for clarifying, I understand now. I still think this amounts to the argument "next year's budget cuts are increasing crime in my neighborhood now" which doesn't make sense to me.

Also again, I don't see how inflation should apply to police budgets but not other budgets.

Sorry, I don't see why inflation and pensions should be removed from police budgets and not from other budgets. I'm very uninformed about city budgeting but this feels a little "lies, damn lies, and statistics"-y to me.

That may or may not be true and is worth exploring more. Although as another poster points out, this is a vastly different argument than saying as the article does: >As the surge in violence has become less theoretical to white, middle c

Thank you for sharing this. If I read this article correctly then the author's point is that simply the passage of a bill to be enacted in the future is the cause of increased crime in the present, which seems like a shaky argument to

I read most of the article, in which the author implies that defunding the police increases crime, and blames the people in charge of Oakland with this crime. Yet I recalled hearing that police budgets in Oakland were steady to up this year

But the Krebs article was based off statements by an anonymous whistleblower “Adam” - Nick Sharp himself, to further extort the company. Hard to know what is actually true in that article at this point

The Twitter post you linked says it has been “debunked” but gives no citation etc. Where is this debunking? I have had these experiences, and in the article the author does their own self experiment and sees the hypothesized result

You’re correct and parent is correct. War on Drugs started as a combined anti-black anti-counterculture initiative in response to Vietnam War. Psychedelics were threatening the power structure. It was never really about drugs.
