Where I am, it's light out from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the shortest days of the winter. The thing is a lot of people aren't even awake at 7 a.m. and if they are (I am), they're doing indoor things like making breakfast/showering/etc. So for a lot of people, that hour or two of morning light is really just wasted. In the afternoon though, everyone can take advantage of the daylight.

FYI, I've taken 10mg Xanax during a trip that wasn't going well and it did literally nothing. Normally, 0.5mg would put me to sleep. Seroquel (Quetiapine), on the other hand, does work if you want an escape hatch and don't mind being sedated.

I just read a couple Kiwi Farms threads and damn that place is depressing. Just an entire forum filled with cruel, shitty people.

No, it's an attitude of haughty dismissal, which the media has a real problem with too.

It's almost like the media is taking cues from the Biden administration.

If that's the only evidence you've seen so far, you're not looking very hard.

It's actually this exact attitude that kept it out of the media. I'm curious: what is your goal? Everyone can see the glaringly obvious circumstantial evidence that it was a lab leak. At this point, comments like your's just look ridiculous.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't think of anything more depressing than doing the exact same thing my entire career. I think the need to stay current is an advantage of the tech industry.
