Calling them out publicly how? For not wanting to spend money on his platform after he endorsed an unambiguously anti-Semitic statement? In response to a post that claimed Jewish communities support “hatred against whites,” Musk replied “Yo

I didn’t say anything about nicotine. You wrote that “Being addicted isn’t bad in itself.” That is incorrect. Addiction is bad by definition. That is what I was replying to. What you are brushing off as “boilerplate” are the DSM-5 criteria

I don’t know anyone who is ignoring their culpability. There has been an enormous amount of litigation against pharmaceutical companies in relation to opioids, resulting in tens of billions of dollars in settlements.

Participating in this conversation, particularly as he has been, seems very short-sighted of him. All of his defensive comments are fair game whenever he ends up eligible for probation, parole, or whatever. And they will be used against h

Dependence on a drug is not necessarily bad. Addiction absolutely is. Addiction (substance use disorder) exists when a person exhibits two or more of the following symptoms: (1) impaired control, (2) social problems, (3) risky use, and (4)

>Never co-sign for someone! Unless you’re prepared to write off the entire amount as a gift. (Though in that case, it’s probably better to just give them the money. After all, there’s a reason their signature is insufficient on its own.)

When I was much younger, my ex and I used to do this somewhat frequently. It always worked. Timeshare salespeople don’t want to waste their time trying to sell to someone who knows what’s up, came solely for the promotional gift, and is cat

That is not necessarily true. As another commenter pointed out, average review time is likely a misleading figure, since the overwhelming majority of decisions are made automatically, using predetermined rules engines. So nearly all decisio

Yeah, sounds like my Model S Plaid. Phenomenal performance, but autopilot is a joke. I am dumbfounded every time I hear someone saying that their FSD is great, and that it doesn’t occasionally try to kill them or someone else. Frankly, I ju

How do you do that? I recently started using a Pi-hole for network-wide ad blocking - with outstanding results - but that obviously only works on my home network.

Assuming those data are accurate, it looks like you’re right. Surprising, but it is what it is.

Treatment works best when people are motivated to get clean. It doesn’t work when they are not. Moreover, the likelihood of good long-term outcomes decreases dramatically when addiction is comorbid with other serious mental illness. Sadly,

I think the only real solution to this is to use a different, non-phone, device. Consider that the latest GoPro experiences the same problem when recording best-quality video. Active cooling would probably work — something like a fan blowin

Same here. The only time my phone gets reliably toasty is when recording a very long video at 4K 60 fps. That’s it.
