10mg is a clinical dose. Methamphetamine is a prescription drug.
Discontinuing cold turkey from 10mg daily would not result in significant withdrawal symptoms.
- Comment on It's all relative 1 day ago:
You can also fit 10 mg of oral methamphetamine into a healthy pharmaceutical balance.
- Comment on It's all relative 1 day ago:
Taking 10 mg of methamphetamine a day is smaller than an average clinical dosage of Adderall, with a similar risk profile.
- Comment on It's all relative 1 day ago:
I’m willing to bet you’d be healthier after 10 years of 10mg daily oral methamphetamine than 10 years of 1 slice daily cheesecake.

Ever try one of those float tanks? They’re really good for that.

I got some Kohler quiet / slow close toilet seats and they’re pretty nice. Not to be one of those hail corporate types but it has no fucked up weird ass bracket like yours do there, just a couple plastic bolts that hold it on there. The lid is fairly heavy feeing and you can’t slam it. Pretty nice for a shitter lid if you ask me.

This post made me reach semantic satiation of the word “Hitler” and it’s kinda nice. A word so filled with disgust has ceased to even register as a word in my brain.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 days ago:
Yeah, that could very well be a PC. You could take the guts out, put it in a generic box, attach a monitor and peripherals, and have a Linux PC that drastically outperforms PCs of a couple decades ago, with similar functionality. Those were PCs then, why would the definition change?
Regarding the exploit definition, yeah, that’s the good one IMO. The other one is more akin to “life hacks” or “food hacks” and I think it’s silly. Using a butter knife as a screwdriver isn’t a “tool hack.” Putting Doom on a toothbrush isn’t hacking, provided no exploits were necessary. Putting Linux on a MacBook isn’t hacking just because it lacks documentation and the Asahi devs have to figure some things out before it works.
I would be curious to hear your definition of hacking, though. To me it seems if you’re calling Linux on Mac hacking, then there’s a million other things that are hacking and the word loses its meaning.
If Apple locks the bootloader then I’ll completely agree with you. And while I do agree it appears they’re heading in that direction and it sucks, a MacBook is far more “computer” than a console, even if poorly documented and thus difficult to develop for.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 days ago:
That’s not hacking, that’s development. They’re not bypassing locked bootloaders. The hardware is open.
Try running anything on an Xbox Series S/X or PS5.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
You don’t make me mad by being wrong. You don’t have to “hack the OS” to dual boot a MacBook.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
That doesn’t make the Xbox Series X/S or a PlayStation 5 a computer.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
You can still dual boot operating systems. The fact Asahi isn’t complete yet doesn’t matter.
They’re computers.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 days ago:
Wrong. MacBooks have Linux, and you can download code from wherever and run it. There’s a terminal you can run commands in. If you want, you can completely fuck it up. macOS is worlds apart from iOS, and MacBooks are more a proper computer than probably even the Steam machine we’re discussing here.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 days ago:
No, it isn’t, in practice. Xbox and PS5 have more in common with my iPhone than my desktop PC or NAS when it comes to being able to do what I want with it.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 days ago:
What do you think the Xbox and Playstations are?
Consoles.

Reminding yourself not to feel a certain way sounds wrong to me. You’re just masking something at that point. Your feelings are telling you something. That needs to be addressed, not suppressed.

DX:MD is one of the most fun stealth games, it’s just unfortunate they put vent shafts everywhere

STALKER. The Zone is amazing.
- Comment on What are the most popular conspiracy theories? 3 weeks ago:
I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.
The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.
I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

I did watch the video, it’s pretty good. He’s discussing the motivators behind overeating. He points out in the beginning that CICO is something that cannot be violated due to thermodynamics (incorrectly saying it’s the second law when he means first), but where the CICO approach fails is in addressing the obesity epidemic.
Ultimately, it is a personal decision to consume food. The genetic difference is in how hard this is. Genetics does not affect the physics at play. If you consume fewer calories and you expend, you will lose weight. There are no genetics that will permit you to derive more calories from food than what is consumed. Period.
Sometimes you just have to embrace the ascetic part of dieting and just suffer. Life is suffering anyhow, so you might as well make peace with it. It’s okay to be hungry, just like it’s okay to be bored. We’re not supposed to be satiated 24/7.
Please note I’m not saying over or under weight people are somehow worse people than those who are fit because they have poor willpower or something like that. We all have our problems, and everyone deserves respect as we navigate this fucked up life.
The thing is, nobody is going to be able to solve your problems except you. There is no pill that will fix your diet, and it’s not your genetics that put the food in your mouth. The only lasting solution lies within, whether that’s learning how to deal with not giving into your hunger pangs, or forcing yourself to eat when you’re not hungry, or just learning to love yourself as you are.

Yeah I hate when food and drink gets teleported into my mouth
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
Great, now keep going down the questions I posed. I didn’t say anything about building toilets.
The point I’m making is that this paint won’t do a thing except cost money.
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
I’m not claiming it’s about homeless people, it just seems like a waste of money to me, and it fails to address the issue of people not having a place to piss.
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
Great, now we need to invent piss retroreflectors
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
Keep going down the list of questions, I’ve already accounted for other reasons why this is a dumb idea
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
You have to keep going down the questions, don’t just stop at the first.

up my ass
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 3 weeks ago:
If there was a toilet right there, do you think they would still choose the wall?
If they would still choose the wall, do you think the paint is going to deter them?
How much money was spent for people to learn to piss at an angle so that they don’t get splash back?
