- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 day ago:
I think the best thing to do is just find our own alternative communities. Make our own hangouts. Our own clubs. We can still live life and be happy even if the rest of society is shit. Depending on how this upcoming elections goes. I might go underground. Just disconnect from society. Stop talking to normies outside of business. I will have put in my 35 years of fighting. I don’t want to be miserable my entire life. I don’t want to argue with people my entire life. Maybe it’s just impossible to connect with people who are t like you. That doesn’t mean we have to be sad. It doesn’t mean we have to be alone. We can make our own spaces. Stay off the grid and under the radar. Have fun and have our own culture with people who like us.

He also died because when he was being chased, he refused to run through a bean field, trampling on the beans.
He used to also lecture by dressing like a girl, and sitting behind a curtain so that only his shadow would appear on the curtain.

Absolutely but who cares? It saves people from being taken advantage of, and if someone does run a casino it would actually be fun.

I mean even if it were just better odds it would be worth it maybe. If I were regulating gambling, I would make sure that Casinos had to pay out at least 90% of what they brought in and distributed widely with some mathematical function that approximates a bell curve.

At least poker is fair. Funny enough fair gambling is considered illegal and immoral for some reason, but slot machines are okay, even as they are designed in every way to victimize dumb people.

Maybe it’s time to start thinking about another job?
We need money to live, but there is no amount of money worth losing your happiness over. Sometimes it’s better to sell the house, buy a good used Toyota, and take a pay cut to get a significantly less stressful job. Also make sure you are practicing self care. Eating well, taking time to yourself to enjoy the things you want to do, even if it’s just sleeping.

Sounds kind of like depression tbh. When I had a bout of depression recently. I was sleeping like 10-15 hours a day when I could, sometimes as soon as I got off work until I’d wake up, and it would never be enough. I’d be fantasizing about the bed all day lol.
There is usually some root cause to it usually if you don’t have clinical depression. Mine was being trans and thinking the Nazis were going to try to kill all of us. Still true but I guess i feel a bit better now. Really just coming out. As I came out and told people much of that went away and I feel better now. I can play video games again which is cool.

Yes that is important I guess. I’m not really a workout person. Just something that bothers me is many people think that pain equals gain, but in reality pain equals destroying your telemeres and your body even if it takes years to manifest because your body is so amazing at keeping itself alive and in a good state.

Maybe but if you have more than a certain amount and if you are selling it then you will get trafficking charges and in most places that is serious jail time. Spending years in jail won’t just destroy your mind, but also your immune system and everything else.

You need to keep in mind that everything on the internet is surveiled these days, and there is a strong possibility that your local police department will find out about you buying these things. You can get in serious trouble like years in prison trouble and prison is not a good place to be. If you are going to sell weed, you need to evaluate the cost benefits analysis of this. How much money do you honestly expect to make to balance the huge risk you are taking? Selling slightly above the cost is not worth it. If you are going to sell weed then you probably should try to make a lot of money off of it and then quit while you are ahead. This can maybe make the risk worth it if you value your limited years on this earth in money. Personally I’d rather just work a normal job, and just buy weed. It’s extremely cheap. I don’t smoke anymore but the amount of weed id have to grow to make this a rational decision was not something I was willing to do. Also I don’t want to live in prison for years eating bologna sandwiches made by drug addicts. Prisons are disgusting and horrible places.

- Comment on LinuX is The Most Un-Secure Barely Glued Operating System That Barely Work. 1 week ago:
None of these are correct except maybe the last point. Idk why you would want Photoshop or any of that trash on your PC anyways. The only software that doesn’t work on Linux is software that’s intentionally designed to not work on Linux, and as private companies who own the software copyright there isn’t much you can do. That isn’t a fault of Linux. You can probably run them in a VM if you really must use those programs. I don’t use them for ethical reasons because I refuse to support software companies that try to force their users onto windows.
Also Linux is not insecure. Most of the world’s servers run on Linux. I realize you probably don’t understand this. The vast majority of malware targets windows and android anyways. Linux is very secure if you have a firewall like everyone has had for the past 30 years. If you are running a server with open ports then you need to be aware of what you expose to the internet. This is true for any operating system that isn’t hand built and has known exploits for its software.
Also antivirus does work on Linux, I’m not sure why you would say that, or why you would even want antivirus in the first place. You could just maybe think for a moment before you install something, it’s really not that difficult. Idk why you would run random stuff on your machine that you don’t trust or believe is trustworthy at least. You can always run it in a container.
Also the idea about Nvidia or gaming not working is also not even remotely true. I play many games every night on my 1070 running Linux. It works fine, and I’ve never had any issue with it. I’m using the proprietary Nvidia driver though. If you are using the open source one that is probably your issue.
Anyways if you are going to shit on something, maybe you should try to get your facts straight. Outside of some popular multiplayer games there is really no reason to not use Linux for gaming. You often get much better performance and compatibility. The real downside to using Linux is that it’s hard to learn. It has a very steep learning curve. Windows is still far easier to use for your average person, but windows has been nosediving for over 10 years now. At this point every minute you invest in windows is going to be a loss for you eventually. Might as well learn to use Linux because you are going to have to relatively soon whether you want to or not. Windows is dying and it’s becoming a locked down spyware infested ecosystem that doesn’t even work with a lot of software anymore that was designed for windows. They are abandoning backwards compatibility with every new version. There is basically no reason to use windows anymore other than habit and already understanding it or because you want to play GTA V and you don’t care about having a free computing culture.

If you eat a lot of protein and keep carbs low it really helps. I’m on hormones and transfem and I’m still way stronger than most men even as I have lost a lot of mass in my arms and shoulders. A lot of strength is in your nervous system as well. Learning to move heavy stuff without pain or damaging your body sort of unlocks your nervous systems ability to use more muscle fiber at once. It’s trying to protect you but as you train and also love your body and treat it well, it learns to trust you more. Most people tell you to train hard but that is horrible advice in my opinion. You actually want to train and also learn to not damage your body at all, even a little, while you are doing physically hard things.

This might not be too bad if they improved the controls. Deus ex is such a good game outside of the N64 era PC controls.
- Comment on facebook ai 1 week ago:
The problem I think is that using Facebook as a large part of your training data will inevitably lead to a lot of dumb stuff like this, since most of the people on Facebook are pretty dumb. This is a reason reddit is such a valuable dataset to train AI on. It has a lot of nonsense too but also many intelligent people use reddit. There is noise for sure, but the overall level of intelligence that arises out of those datasets is much higher. The issue is that it’s a very biased dataset, and biased intelligence might be worse than lack of intelligence in many cases. Reddit has giant holes and biases in its intelligence on average, but Facebook has little actual intelligence at all.
- Comment on Cable management is an art form 1 week ago:
There are a few flaws with that in reality. One is too much risk consolidation. Having every artery in the same place means that it’s a very easy target for animals or other humans. Another is that it requires far more complexity to actually distribute resources isometricly relative to their need. It’s also easier for disease to grow tumors in a giant mass of blood vessels since they are very homogenous. Another downside is that heat is not distributed evenly so it greatly increases the amount of energy that has to be spent on building auxiliary blood vessels which means the animal has to eat more to achieve the same reproductive success.
Life in reality is balancing many things. Thermal efficiency is a big one, material efficiency is another. Defensibility is a big one, and also genetic simplicity is another. Your body is procedurally generated, not created from a blueprint really. Cells create structure via functional logic in large part, although there are box genes which encode some basic directionality and relative spatial cell differentiation based on its neighbors and the proteins they are presenting on their membranes.

Basic simple cognitive tasks. Keep in mind that isn’t an official medical definition, just my own. It’s like awareness in the moment, among other things.
One example might be like, not asking certain questions, like asking a woman how much she weighs or a trans person about their genitals. Another example might just be basic tasks like driving without blocking traffic. Another example might be, not being a creep to a girl that you like. (Not following her around and falling in love when she doesn’t even know you) Another example might be not looking at the sun and not realizing the black spots in your eyes are actually damage. Another example, thinking it’s okay to take medicine when you are pregnant that isn’t absolutely necesarey and also advised by a doctor. Another example might be not eating around people with bad hygiene. So many countless examples. It in some context refers to your ability to think through simple situations where the answer should be obvious, but can also just refer to your awareness of simple and obvious things.
Once again this isn’t a medical definition, I know people on the internet get confused a great deal these days, but this is just my own definition.
Schizophrenics lack this sense to a large extent, because many diagnosed schizophrenics couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag, autistic people lack it to varying degrees for different reasons, usually not a degenerated brain. Autism can refer to many different things from lack of mental function to just very abnormal mental function, which isn’t always necessarily a negative if they can function well in life. Autism is only really an issue when it makes people have a hard time functioning like a normal human being, (getting a job, making friends, finding loving relationships, taking care of themselves, etc) many autistic people are extremely intelligent in certain fields that they like. They often have an incredible ability to focus beyond normal humans. Schizophrenia is much different. A schizophrenic probably cannot focus on anything. Their minds are full of intrusive and paranoid thoughts and they often cannot easily distinguish reality from their thoughts.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 1 week ago:
Yes even thought they have entirely different traits people are stupid and they used the term schizophrenia as a catch all for anything that was seen as “abnormal”.
Nowadays it’s a little better, not as much as one might think, autism is the bucket term now, but I’ll try to give some better definitions.
Autism is a condition in which people lack in the more normal modes of thinking, and also social skills. Autists tend to have a few symptoms.
-Great difficulty in socializing
-High levels of sensitivity and high levels of neuroticism. (Don’t like being touched, don’t like their things being touched to a very high degree)
-A lack of common sense
-Often they fixate on a specific thing or set of things they really like, while they lack in general skills.
-They in some cases have difficulty understanding what people mean when they say stuff in social contexts, and often can understand specific things really well.
Schizophrenia
-They often have trouble staying awake fully in every part of their brain, leading to hallucinations in waking life.
-They often cannot understand allegory or metaphor really well, (they believe figures of speech to be literal) they can only understand something like religion as literal, not metaphorical.
-Schizophrenia tends to be a degenerative brain disease, where most people develop it between 29-35, and it usually worsens over life and their intelligence tends to drop faster than most adults.
-Schizophrenics tend to be antisocial, but not really by preference as much as autists. Which is one of the main differences. Schizophrenia is a degenerative brain disease where autism isn’t really degenerative or anything and autists tend to be much more antisocial but not paranoid and stuff.
-Schizophrenics tend to have extreme paranoia, and also they see patterns where there are none.
Schizophrenia is definitely the worst, and autism isn’t really bad in many cases. People can have a perfectly healthy and happy life with autism but schizophrenia is extremely destructive to people.
Both of these have almost no single known cause. Schizophrenia is thought to be highly generic but a combination of many genes. Autism is less understood.
The first people who did a nature vs nurture study in schizophrenia discovered a new condition, that many of the family members of schizophrenia had, called schizotypal syndrome.any of these people, although nearly perfectly healthy, tended to be weird, and also a bit antisocial. They had a great deal of superstition and fixations. They often were just weird though. Their house would smell weird. They would have odd colors. Things like this. It is thought that this is a precursor to schizophrenia. On cases where people just have schizotypal syndrome, this can be thought of as a case where diversity usually wins out in evolutionary terms. A diverse set of mental creatures is nearly always going to win over a very homogenous group of mental creatures, yet sometimes too many of these phenotypes end up in one child, and the neurodegenerativness might come from lifestyles factors associated with highly schizotypal living. (Taking lots of medicine, believing everything they hear on TV, like medication is safe to take when pregnant) Which most people would just understand as incorrect. Bad diet from poverty due to being weird. Having too many germs and mold in their house because they are scared of burglars so they are afraid to open the windows. Things like this.
Schizophrenia tends to still be a bit of a bucket term, and autism as well, but these are far better defined these days. The reason they are most likely on the rise is because of less real food, with nutrients, more poverty, and highly stressful modern lifestyles, and also many people spend a lot of time around manmade and synthetic materials in childhood and spending time in nature, which can help the immune system learn to work correctly. Most germs in nature aren’t very dangerous to humans, because they haven’t evolved specific traits to infect humans. So your immune system has a strong advantage over these germs.
So if you don’t want your kids to develop these, air your house out sometimes, let them play in nature, feed them high quality food, and keep their stress low, and make sure they have enough free time so that they can sleep at night. Also don’t take medication while you are pregnant unless you absolutely have too. People should know this without someone telling them this.

Got to get those 1.5v batteries in your keyboard lol. I spent $140 on a Logitech keyboard and it barely registers all keys even with 1.5v batteries. Honestly I don’t see why a $140 keyboard wouldn’t have USB C and a rechargable battery by now. Probably what I will get next but finding a decent wireless keyboard was hard. I messed up by getting this one. You can never assume price = quality these days.
