  isn't even obvious that "identity politics" is tethered exclusively to left-wing politics.

The essay explicitly states that it is not!

In my experience, lazy people who already love eating and watching TV will double down on this behavior when using cannabis. It can make you feel comfortable and OK with things, and also triggers the appetite. So instead of becoming satiated/bored with your activities and moving to something else, you remain in place.

Others who are not as thrilled with consuming food and media to begin with will have different cannabis experiences. You'll probably find them exercising, making art/music, or creating software like mentioned in the article.

I'm sorry if this offends you, but your statement might say more about you as a person than about the effects of cannabis.

Don't discount the creativity, intelligence, and dedication it takes to create something like this. Chances are you actually can't, even if you did make it a priority.

"we show how to use light to obtain control over these devices at distances up to 110 meters"

"Command Selection: ...Purchase a Laser Pointer"

Hilarious example

Making other people buy stuff with laser beams... wait until marketing finds out!

TIL, thank you. Looking back, not a great post. Probably deserves the votes.

The odds for a face on a d10 would be 1 in 9 (1:9).

It's different than probability (1/10 = .1)

The advice was not wrong. You probably would not have been a great sitter, and it's best to recognize that.

Your comment comes off in the wrong way for a thread about muyshrooms.

The downside of patches is the slow release. Smoking is instantaneous.

Nothing, it's a fine reference. But I could see people wanting to skip it in the top results.

There really is something nauseating or repulsive about this. I've had the same feeling with other ML generated images. It's alien and familiar at the same time.

A friend had an explanation for this, and I really agreed with him. The antianxiety effects of THC arrive after the initial high. The beginning is a spike of feelings that a lot of people find to be intense... and leads to paranoia and an increase in anxiety. But as this brief rush fades there is relief and a longer lasting calm.

To put it another way: after a stone is dropped in a pond the splash is a mess, but the ripples that follow sure are pretty. :)

From #113, Artificial Intelligence

The lebowski theorem of machine superintelligence: No AI will bother after hacking its own reward function.

once the AI has figured out the philosophy of the “Dude” in the Cohen brothers movie Lebowski, also repeated mischiefs does not bother it and it “goes bowling”.

I'm relieved to learn that this is a theorem. :D
