I've done many hallucinogens and have seen great things but "unspeakable horrors" too. It was a legitimately terrifying experience but I came out of it feeling mentally strong and stable.

I can't recommend anyone to try it since not everyone may be able to handle it. But it was an amazing experience I don't regret at all.

Surgery is just a bandaid on a systemic problem. We still don't even know why we are obese! Certain groups say carbs are the devil (what about Japan, China who eat a lot of rice and keep their obesity rates very low?). Other groups say it's saturated fats (what about the thousands of years history we have of eating fats? Obesity is a very recent problem).

You will probably get fatter living in a suburb driving everywhere rather than say NYC. But that's not enough to explain the difference between countries.

What about pollutants? The food, the water, the air, the feed for animals, the antibiotics, pesticides, seed oils, microplastics?

Ok but if you have a mansion and no friends or family what's the point? You want the experience of spending time with people you like.

Even just 5 years ago you could get great roles without a degree. That era is over

Yeah, he's going to have a lot of regrets later on socially. But these type of kids would fit in a traditional school anyway so maybe its for the best.

Just one data point at one company, I passed the final stage with good feedback but after a long delay was told the offer was given to an internal candidate instead as headcount is really low for new hires. So a waste of time

every meme started as a 4chan meme

I get why you ask but it really doesn't matter, when you burn out you have no choice but to quit. The money determines how long you can relax before getting your next job.

I burned out last year, luckily I had the funds to quit without anything lined up and been semi-retired ever since. I'd like to work again but modern software jobs ask for too much. Why should I dedicate so much of my life and brainpower to 24/7 oncall and managing development? No amount of money is worth the stress.

Although homeschooling may help with academics, what about socializing? Traditional schools are by far the better option for making friends as a kid

How about if the trip never occured at all and they had a zoom meeting? Does this even need to be a zoom meeting, why not a slack convo?

Definitely already have that. It just has some nasty side effect or expense or something preventing them from using it

There are about a gazillion porn websites and legislation only affects the top like 3 of them. Completely pointless unless you have an entire surveillance system like China's firewall

I hope I don't get flagged for this, just trying to bring up a somewhat controversial point. I support euthanasia. I think there is a level of suffering where it is unethical to encourage people to keep living, and rather that suicide can be a perfectly rational decision in those moments.

Now who are we to say if a person's suffering is enough or not enough to advocate that method? What if this new era of therapists better understand people?
