Viewing profile — monopoledance

Destabilizing “the west” and preventing Ukraine from joining NATO. Look at the pandemic… Soon there will be toil about defensive measurements and expenses. The economy wont like a …

Unsatisfied niche btw.. There is effectively no dating app for kinksters, but a lot of people are into kink.

Idk. No one I knew was an outspoken racist in school. Especially these days, teenagers seem to be very aware of these issues. Regardless, it’s not the only thing pointed out here. …

This article rubs me the wrong way. The headline isn’t well supported by its content, as the article drifts off to cheery picking counter arguments debunking lab-origin conspiracy …

"Single-use" may have been the wrong expression. I meant, I needed something that could break, be stolen, or tempered with at the airport, without me losing trust/access to my main…

Standing desk doesn't help with the viewing angle and neck strain. Your upper body should be exactly the same as sitting well adjusted.

Keyboard is unmatched indeed, but my nipple mechanic is worn now and the trackpad is atrocious. I am not defending this machine, it is 10 years old, the CPU is a major limitation n…

Jeez, I explicitly stated my comment was about "snappiness" only. Sure you can move the goalpost, if it makes you happy, but I am not trying to argue a 10 year old Thinkpad, or any…

Lol. That's what I thought as well, but I couldn't really spell it. The reference fits perfectly.

Maybe. At least I can not switch off easily and those stories stay with me. I also don't like horror movies. Maybe it's more pleasant, or enjoyable, when you feel differently, or "…

But would you agree, you don't need that story over and over dressed up differently? Some people have read/seen more than one of those stories. Man's search for arbitrary meaning (…

> You can't escape sadness. Life is fundamentally about suffering. Yeah, no shit. That's why I try to not invite it unnecessarily. > I think people seek these stories because it he…

That's terrible ergonomics and you will grow a hunch. One day you will notice in the mirror and your consequent attempts to straighten your neck will fail. Laptops are such a legac…

I have a ten year old X220 with an SSD upgrade.... I don't have to wait for anything really, either. Don't get me wrong, I know there is a difference, but... is it a 2000$ differen…

Gnome's accessibility feature "larger text" works a bit better than font scaling IMEx. With font scaling often some alignment and spacing seems odd. And you can toggle "larger text…

For real. Tho, if organ donations were opt-out, or even no choice, and the infrastructure to match demand and supply would scale (it does not at the moment), we wouldn't need artif…

I honestly don't understand why people seek that. Doesn't that sadness and devastation hang with you afterwards? I gave it a try, but now I am trying to avoid these stories at all …

I think that depth has been more widely recognized in neuro-biology before, but has fallen from grace in favor of a naive mechanistic enthusiasm at the beginning of that early neur…

True or not, great read and interesting idea. The concept of “flattening an energy landscape” resonates a lot with me. I feel like the filter on which internal and external impress…

Possibly a heavy selection bias, don't you think? Shrooms are illegal almost everywhere, or at least not very popular. I assume there is a very significant filter on which type of …

Also, maybe report back, if you don't mind. Would love to get a reality check, if it's just another fiction of self-improvement, or if others see the usefulness, as well.

Yeah, but as a monologue. The thing with ADHD folks is, we constantly seek stimulation/neuronal excitement, so if we manage to do anything, we somehow tricked our brain into enthus…

I can't vouch for the most recent episodes, as I haven't listened to them yet, and I don't mind those interview ones much. Otherwise most episodes had some insights and ideas, I fo…

Amen. For those with poor executive functioning, or ADHD, I can really recommend the podcast "Hacking your ADHD": https://www.hackingyouradhd.com/podcast Ironically, it's less focu…

> there is only one reason the media rejected the lab-leak hypothesis - it was forwarded by Trump Nonsense. There is media outside the US, and no one really cared about that. The p…
