MDPV can seriously fuck you up. It's the most potential stimulant I've ever used. If McAfee was researching it, he was using it. It's one of those drugs I recommend you to be extra careful with.

#32Highly recommend you click through to the drug forum posts (he's "stuffmonger").
OK, I've read it. Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, it is an extremely interesting thread: :http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/541627-Hello-and-an-MDPV-...
My impression is that McAfee is a brilliant fraud, trying his best to communicate something he feels is of great value but constantly tripped up by some innate compulsion to embellish. On the other hand, he's one of the most articulate and lucid characters in the thread. While there are a few other mentally intact and highly intelligent posters, I picture him as the hapless 35-year-old sixth-grader in Miss Mandible's classroom: http://www.coldbacon.com/writing/barthelme-mandible.html
Is it more of a surprise that he's comes across as genuine, fully coherent, and rational, or that most of those consuming drugs made in their kitchen based on questionable mail-order supplies and loose online descriptions have to be reminded several times that baking powder is not the same as baking soda? My other main impression is that many of the journalists attempting to summarize the thread in various online venues share the reading comprehension level of the latter.

#33Let's give credit where credit is due: Gizmodo exclusively broke this story, not just of McAfee's post-software adventures, but of his current status as a murder suspect: http://gizmodo.com/5959812/john-mcafee-wanted-for-murder
but it is also part of the gawker family, so fuck them.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
> It is not hard to figure out John moved to Belize because of the lax drug enforcement and age of consent laws. Lax drug enforcement, sure, but age of consent? It's 16. There are dozens of countries where it's significantly lower -- many 12 or 13. Don't see why that'd be much of a motivator, even if that's your thing; most US states are 16 too, IIRC.
Heck, if he really was a filthy perv he could've gone to Spain, where age of consent is 13.
or he could join the catholic church where they dont worry about that sort of thing

> most US states are 16 too, IIRC. Right, but it's 18 in California, where most TV shows and movies come from, so the unexamined idea in everyone's head is that it's 18 everywhere in the country. TV Tropes (you knew this was coming) mentions this as an example of SoCalization. The infiltration of Californian idiom and assumptions into the global mass media is truly insidious. But hey, isn't Silicon Valley in Californ…

Uh, so? Judge pieces of work on an individual basis.
