Damn… something touched a nerve.
The fact your first advertising point for kratom is that “it does not show up on drug tests” says everything. If you came in suggesting it to someone saying they’re struggling with opioid addiction, then yeah, maybe (although it’s inconclusive). Just showing up and recommending this dangerous, addictive garbage with no caveats, though, is gross.
It’s not actually heroin.
Yeah, that’s why I called it “gas station heroin”; it, like you said, binds to μ-opioid receptors. It’s functionally a bootleg opioid being sold in gas stations. “Gas station heroin” fits.

Hey, quit recommending gas station heroin to people. Fuck off; go ruin your own life.

And Catch-22 can be summarized as “a man doesn’t want to fly a plane”. Masterpieces require space and care and love.

- Comment on An OpenAI agent hacked Medicare. Will anyone be held responsible? 1 week ago:
Seriously, this stupid fucking semantics game from people who know jack shit about the history or structure of the field while society is crumbling around us are infuriating. The term was created early in the life of the field in 1956 and was quickly widely adopted. AI as a field exists to study tasks that computers can do that would typically be considered in the domain of humans or other living beings, i.e. requiring intelligence; the term wasn’t created to trick people.
That’s why when you play a game and do a frustrating escort quest because the character you’re escorting behaves like someone with severe brain damage, “the AI sucks”. Not because you think there is (or is supposed to be) conscious superintelligence inside Bilbip Flipflop who’s supposed to be following you to the next checkpoint according to a bunch of conditionals executing on your 2004 IBM, but because that coordinated act of reacting to the world around them is supposed to be emulating what a real person would do given that role.
If you want to piss around with Philosophy 101 about about the nebulous nature of the word intelligence and how much that translates to some concept of “true”, conscious understanding versus simply interpreting external data to achieve tasks, then live your best life. But it’s clearly a meaningless distraction when the world is fucking on fire.

- Comment on Happier to use spices on tofu, beans, soy curls, and even sometimes the dreaded processed plant-based mock-meats (when they go on sale). 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but that’s wrong and used for convenience. Veganism is an ethical movement that sees this exploitation as fundamentally wrong. That was the original definition, but the Vegan Society who created the term changed it (in the 1940s?) to include avoiding exploitation generally “as far as is possible and practicable”.
What you’re referring to is a plant-based diet(er). Calling a vegan “someone who eats meat no more often than a month” in the sense of how actual vegans use the term would be like defining someone who’s anti-dog-abuse as someone who kicks their dog at most once a month.

Dude, come on, you have to be
a fucking idiotway too credulous to take this at face value. It’s a picture of some guy calmly putting an acoustic guitar into the overhead compartment, and the Facebook post, with literally no evidence, warps it into how he started specifically “playing Maroon 5” and how he got shamed into stopping by some guy shouting at him to shut the fuck up. (You’d think they’d know the song he was playing for 30 seconds if they know it’s Maroon 5.) It’s the most generic “DAE Maroon 5 is obnoxious? XD” fake story you could make. - Comment on I GOT THE MOVES LIKE JAGGER 3 weeks ago:
