Follow up tweet by same person: "Wow this blew up check out " Please don't support this type of virality and profiteering. It's disgusting.

hi, i'm melipone (OP). the cvspharmacy link was an obvious joke meant to parody people who plug links after something goes viral. i got it from my friend karl's page (@hammerfist3); it's in his bio, too. also, it's a dead link; how stupid are people lol.

How can one tell parody and real without knowing your background? It's just a random tweet to 99% of people who clicked here. Known as Poe's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

> how stupid are people lol.

My thoughts exactly.

I've (probably) had a ministroke (TIA). What surprised me is that typing was affected in the same way for me. In my mind I made a coherent sentence with words, but when I read back what I wrote, I understood that it was a garbled mess. I tried again, failed, and became frustrated. The crazy part to me was that I realized something was wrong, but it never occurred to me to ask for help. I tried to stubbornly keep work…

You should really get that checked out if you haven’t already. A TIA can be a precursor to a full on stroke or otherwise have lasting consequences. An MRI can confirm all is good in your brain.

That was years ago and I haven't had health insurance in a long time now. Nothing has happened, so far though. Funnily enough, life did actually go downhill after that. I never thought that it was related, but in the half a year to a year that followed it, I dropped out of school and left work. I haven't really been able to put the pieces together since. It's as though I have no motivation to do anything long term. I kind of doubt it's related though. One day I'll get it check out though.

Damn, is this meta trolling?

With a front page that has daily "Omg facebook is sharing your data", "you'll never guess what uber did now", " S-1", "let's all play armchair detectives and speculate why the 737 crashed", "shitcoin is good/bad for ", etc posts, I wouldn't exactly put HN that much above crappy content aggregator..

At least there's no ads

There are ads. The " is hiring" ads, and I wouldn't be surprised if some content here that goes straight to the top isn't paid for somehow.. There's a large audience here, and no transparency in how the site operates, so the incentive is high.

Posted on Twitter from a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/bghyv5/t... From the thread's title: > This picture is designed to give the viewer the simulated experience of having a stroke (particularly in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex, where visual perception occurs.) Everything looks hauntingly familiar but you just can't quite recognize anything

Well, now I know what's going on if the real world starts looking like that. And I bet it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8
