I'm not usually one to defend Jobs, but if that's how an acid-fried-brain works, give me some acid. The thing is, the kind of cancer he had, you don't get better from. My mom died from pancreatic cancer, and it's not a pretty way to go. Your whole digestive system basically shuts down.
You joke but self trepanation is a thing. I met the woman who did it. She made a damn movie. Here's an article about her. Yes, the photo is a still from the movie. https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...
Microdosing isn't the same thing as getting high or tripping. You might barely notice the effects of 15 micrograms of LSD (1/10 the normal "tripping" dose) the first time you did it. But not the second time, three days later. If you've done some science showing a causal link between LSD and brain cancer, you should publish. It would be a first.
Yeah, it must suck to live in those first world socialist democracies in Europe, with their free college and free health care and their advanced industrial economies and that annoying fact that everyone there is happy all the time. Who'd want that? Here in America we love working three shitty jobs and having our kids die because we can't do health care like literally the entire rest of the world. It builds character.
Educate yourself, you've been fed a load of propaganda by the folks who are profiting off of you.
What a suckup. Is there a term for white knighting rich CEOs? You know that no CEO guy is going to shower you with riches for giving his anus a tongue bath, right?
No, thinking your standards are superior and using them to insult and belittle people with different standards is a bad thing. It's the kind of black and white thinking that you see in a lot of recovering addicts and people on the spectrum. Their brains can't handle nuance very well, and ambiguity makes them uncomfortable.
Please, do have some personal standards. Just shut the fuck up about them and live your life. If people want to know why you are so happy and successful, they will ask, and then you can tell them all about your standards.
It was a really great place up through the mid-2000s. I mean, there were always some pretty serious trolls here but things didn't really start to go downhill until they sold the place and the new owners hired that right wing blow hard as an editor, can't remember his name.
You know, batshit makes an excellent fertilizer and is an important component in explosives. The stuff we find here is more like rat shit. It's useless and just knowing some is in your vicinity makes you feel dirty.
No, the center is late stage capitalism, which is somewhat similar to the state capitalism practiced by the Soviet Union, just with ownership concentrated in even fewer hands. I don't know why I'm bothering though, it's obvious you don't know the first thing about political theory or economics.
Why are you listing centrist sites and calling them left wing? Also, I've never seen a single right wing site that values open discussion. Say something left wing on a right wing site and you will be viciously attacked, and then banned.
The political right silences dissent, lies, and attacks. They only value free speech when it is their own. They certainly don't want women and minorities speaking their minds. And they are such thin skinned children, they want to be able to speak without any consequences. They want to force their opinions on people, but not let anyone respond.
Are you twelve? Talk like an adult if you expect a response. Kids these days need a taste of the belt, damn liberals ruined today's youth with their permissive attitude.
I agree with you. But people shouldn't self diagnose as autism spectrum when they are just antisocial jerks. Don't pretend like that doesn't happen because we all know it does. I'm not talking about opinions I am talking about behaviors. People act in shitty, insulting ways and try to brush it off as a mental handicap. It's nothing so grand, just garden variety assholism.

Ah, did not know that. My mom had the other kind.

Read the article. It does a much better job of explaining why people think microdosing is good for creativity than I could.

Well, to be honest those sites are fiscally conservative but somewhat socially liberal. Not everything to the left of fascim is communism, comrade.
Are you sure you belong here at Slashdot? I honestly thought I was the only sane one left.
No, I really don't need to ask that.
Sure thing AC, whatever you say, without proof or explanation. LOL.
I don't believe anything like that is happening. That's some seriously paranoid conspiracy theory crap.

So what exactly is happening? What is a "digital culture culling?"

Wait, what? Who is bribing whom? What activity are you even talking about? I thought we were talking about a guy getting fired for not doing his job.
That sounds like commie talk, mister. The free market has spoken, amen, praise be to The Invisible Hand.
Why do you hate capitalism and the free market?
Or go with the guys who defend 26.2 Performance Apparel's trademark of the number "26.2"
Read that last word as "cats" and yes, I was shocked.
