every time i get a new work machine i attempt to use a browser that is not chrome. last time was firefox, this time was safari. eventually i start using chrome on certain sites because of ublock origin. then, as was the case with aws, certain websites are flakey enough times that i just give in and use chrome full time.
side note: hey aws, why is your rds performance insights dashboard broken on safari? 33% of the time it will "freeze" and i have to reload the page. very un-dude like.
there's a popular trend that has been gaining momentum over decades that has people so disconnected from reality that they think a pill can replace proper diet, exercise, and in this case, the sun.
there is an obesity epidemic in this country at the root of many ailments (inflammation is the root of many diseases) and you have politicians pitching policies about bringing the cost of "drugs" down to treat these ailments but we have no mainstream leaders with mainstream policies advocating for health and fitness to fix the root issue.
we're going in the wrong direction and something has to change.
> advocating for health and fitness to fix the root issue.
Do you know any GP's / doctors? They'll all tell you that's the first line they repeatedly recommend to their patients. It barely works, because mostly that has to come from intrinsic motivation. And then they proceed to the "well if they won't eat healthier and exercise, what else is going to do something for them..."
Not true, virtually all mainstream people, i.e. celebrities, are incredibly fit.
I mean, J Lo has a six pack and has for decades. Nobody cares though.
The obese celebrities are the odd ones out, and they're typically ridiculed and hated beyond belief. This idea that the obesity epidemic can be fixed with bootstraps is just not one based in reality.
If you want mainstream politicians to address obesity, that means taking aim at the food industry and the healthcare industry. Not every day people - because that doesn't work and never has.
We've done it before, with the Tabacco industry, but food is different. Food is a unique kind of addiction because you can't stop it completely. Also lots of people are fundamentally anti-regulation, so.
or, you know, sounds like this whole thread is full of people who are confused as to why you can't just take vitamin d supplements and hide from the sun
incredibly powerful drug. we should be training a legion of mystics using psilocybin instead of criminalizing it and obfuscating the implications of its use
it means regimented deep psychedelic experiences with focus on particular skills whether it be programming, music, art, writing, or any particular focus area. the results to be discussed, studied, understood, appreciated. almost like a college of psychedelics.
Project MKUltra was an illegal human experiments program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken people and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.
[...]
The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT and DMT on people
it doesn't matter. the trump heuristic is the only way some people perceive the world. then they'll suggest some insane nonsense which is actually bad but they'll justify it with the trump heuristic
It’s mostly just seething at devs nonstop for creating garbage schema, and then blaming the DB for their shitty query latency. Also, endlessly getting dragged into incidents because “the database is at fault.”
when i was 17 i found out about mushrooms and would take 1/8th ounce once a month for about 6 months which culminated in me absolutely convinced i was jesus for about 6 years. good stuff
