ssris are known to unmask or precipitate manic episodes in people with family history of bipolar or schizophrenia. > I'm speculating here but I'm pretty sure if you did an MRI on my brain you'd see lesions from the mixing

well, they are. outsourcing is the bigger problem. just like outsourcing decimated manufacturing jobs, now it's decimating white-collar. i well and truly hope you get fired so you see how bad the market is. no other profession has this

it's material conditions that lead to violence, not the tools. sure tools make it easier, but gun control didn't stop the pm of japan from getting assassinated. if people weren't so desperate, polarized, and angry, i would be

> Also taking SSRIs near MDMA administration is one of the worst pieces of what is doubtless intended as harm reduction advice I’ve ever seen. You don’t hand people a recipe for serotonin syndrome because of a small scale rat test or two

dosed reasonably (~125 mg with no redoses), ideally at lower ambient temperatures, and ideally with an SSRI at the end of perceptible effects to stop MDMA to keep circulating through the neuron and causing oxidative stress, you will quite l

actually, yes, it is extremely hard to determine who finances the political ads you see on TV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_money and how is a black box algorithm any worse than a system where only large corpor

it's interesting you bring that up as it turns out the incumbent party was actually the one behind that tiktok campaign, not russia. the campaign they used as evidence of "russian interference" that they cancelled the electi

terms like "oversocialized" suggest you spend too much time on imageboards and you would do well to get off those sites. same with "humiliation ritual"

it does. that's what the "direct preference" part of DPO means. you just avoid training an explicit reward model on it like in rlhf and instead directly optimize for log probability of preferred vs dispreferred responses

i get the opposite take from this info. the fact that, in just 10,000 years, the gene spread to over 1/3 of the population shows how useful of an adaptation it is.

psilocybin (or more accurately the active drug it is converted to, psilocin) and LSD are extremely similar as classical psychedelics. psychosis is possible with any sort of psychoactive drug and individuals with a family history of bipolar

it's more accurate to characterize LSD as semi-synthetic, just like thebaine derivatives such as hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and oxycodone. it's a simple one or two step transformation from ergot-derived alkaloids. it seems like M

It's decent but nothing crazy. I think most men could achieve it within 4-6 years. Generally, you can build muscle until age 40 without TRT at which point sarcopenia sets in and you lose on average 10% of muscle mass per decade. Thus i

These are nowhere near a replacement for weights or machines. I notice you didn't even mention doing pull-ups, the only body-weight exercise with enough resistance for you to actually build muscle from. Can you point me to a bodyweigh
