a significant % of what I do day-to-day is dedicated to the task of finding sexual partners. how does this translate?

if it doesn't, how do you define "any task"?


I imagine an AGI (properly disguised as a humanoid) would be a drop-in replacement able to seduce humans.

Same for any task you imagine.


is insurance for military equipment a thing? I had no idea.

If you have very deep pockets like a nation has, why not simply replace the lost hardware and never insure/pay premiums(which would be calculated to net a profit to the insurer)?


ugh I meant "does _not_" that's what I get for posting while eating breakfast.


I think this says more about the usual psy drugs we're prescribed and use.

they don't do jack shit.


Mine have definitely helped me, as if I miss them for a day I get noticeably worse


Those can be "discontinuation effects" rather than lack of treatment. I'm not saying they aren't doing good for you, but it's important to bear in mind that acute symptoms from missing a dose can be a different thing.


Sorry, but I'd be dead without mine. I'm going to have to disagree with you.


The interesting thing with mushrooms is that you could eat a handful, realize you are already dead, and then maybe not need the other meds at all.


This could be interpreted as psychedelic ego death from psilocin, backdooring into some kind of personal revelation.

Or as clinical death from Amanita toxicity, with some meta commentary on religion.

+1. :)


The very apparent effect these things have makes you wonder if they do not (somehow) correct for what otherwise could be a built-in deficiency we carry with us, by "design" correcting some sort of built-in imbalance ...


this stuff cured a lot of problems I had been trying for years to get rid of, overnight. (literally) mind-blowing

bonus, it made my buddy quit drinking

variance, it made my other buddy delusional and stupid. hasn't really recovered


it only takes one bad trip (absolutely massive overdose in my case) to understand how badly south things can get. used to be a favourite consumable, haven't touched it in over a decade and extremely unlikely to again following that one experience. it also helped phrase 3 earlier experiences in terms of the new "peak", and made me understand how much incredible danger I had been in at all times even prior to the bad trip


Did you ever reflect on why you had a bad trip? Did the drug change or did you change?

Was the setting different? Different people around, different location …

After all learning from mistakes can be just as helpful as the positives in life.


a fart/sewer odor is indeed a sign of life


won't stay, hn staff is 100% onboard with this bs


hn staff turned off the flags on this story as soon as we found out about it, restoring it to HN's front page.


most of this stuff is getting flagged within minutes.


Nope it's useful.

Those people need to feel some kind of pressure and invasive monitoring. Because they're the ones who vote to allow it or not.


the "prompt" is the 10 seconds original audio file + the lyrics, right?

absolutely crazy


conveniently sweeping aside the fact that those who depend the most on the 'inefficient' programs/agencies that are being 'optimized' are the poorest and weakest members of society. those who can afford private everything will be fine.


a lot of knowledge workers indeed use it (and ritalin/MPH) as a productivity enhancer

it feels (a bit too) good and helps for a while

if you have an addictive personality, you'll find out that, eventually you'll start abusing it, and there will be no turning back. you'll HAVE to 100% quit.
