There are also the triptan class of drugs such as Relpax. The problem is you have to go to a doctor to get a prescription. Doctor visits are expensive (relative to my income for most of my life) unless you have access to a school clinic or

Oh definitely, I don't deny the dangers. I was merely mentioning one possible explanation for those dangers.

There weren't any psychedelic effects at that dose for me, but there might be for others. You could try a lower dose, but that became a really tiny piece of paper. I did feel a little slower, and it was slightly more difficult to focus duri

I have a theory about mental disorders caused by drugs. It is due to what Jung described as an inability to adapt. Our energies are ideally focused on improving our ability to deal with reality, i.e., adapt. When the mind finds itself in a

I could talk for hours about how my internal explorations (sometimes with drugs, often without) have dramatically accelerated my growth. I am very passionate about my change, but I don't really want to start a philosophical debate about the

It's quite likely that humans need conflict in their lives to feel complete. The area of evolutionary psychology points strongly in that direction as does a subjective observation of our history. I find online wars to be much more favorable

LSD is also known for it's use in treating migraines (about a 1/4 of a recreational dose is effective). I used to keep a supply for this purpose as I was unable to afford the prescription drugs that provide me relief. Unfortunately, LSD car

Those claims are only valid for feedlot raised cattle which you shouldn't eat anyway if you care about your health. Cows aren't meant to eat grain. Plus, you get to support your local community by buying from local, responsible farmers. And

I fail to see any deception. A company prefers to get price A for their services so they advertise price A. However, the people in charge would be willing to accept price B rather than lose the sale so price B is made available when price A

In addition to this is the commonly stated idea that you don't own a copy of a movie, you only have a license to watch it. If that's the case, I should be able to acquire the movie data assuming I have already paid for a license to watch sa

I see these articles more and more lately. They aren't really saying anything new: people don't like putting effort into long term goals. This is just a corollary of the concept of instant gratification. People go to college and invest year

Unfortunately for DDG, those habits need to be taken into account seeing as they're the underdog. When getting people to change to a new interface, the process should be as painless as possible to prevent resistance. The other day, I went t

I definitely agree with this although I think you could lighten the shading and get away with the current method. The dark grey just creates too much of a contrast change for me to read it easily. It only adds a split second to my reading t

It's basically a URI that contains the torrent hash enabling a client to find peers through a decentralized network such as DHT instead of requiring a tracker. I believe you can append trackers and other info to the URI as well, but I'm not

This is very similar to what I tell people asking me about weight loss: "You can't have an emotional attachment to food." I can't remember where I first heard that, but I think it states the idea perfectly.

I think that the problem is that we are looking at "willpower" as a general skill when we should see it as more specific to the task. I have built up quite a bit of resistance to certain desires like food and television, but I still flounde

This is the main reason I use linux on my mbp instead of os x. Being unable to manipulate my monitors independently is asinine.

I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago with Comcast. I upgraded to their business package and haven't heard a word since. As far as I know, business lines are available everywhere residential one are.

I agree with your point that video games can lead to improper unconscious decision making. This follows a lot of the thoughts in the works of Lt Col Grossman if you have read them. However, I believe that the answer is not removal of the vi
