    I'm to the point that altered reality states constitute stupid risk, no matter what it is for.

    The question isn't even if it works. The question is, are you creating a bigger problem than the original problem?

    Yes. Which is why I have grave doubts that sending somebody on that sort of a hallucination journey will help with smoking or anxiety at all.

    Just saying that it isn't useful to prescribe hallucinatory drugs for non-hallucinatory disorders.

    Doesn't matter about the addiction potential. What matters is that you're trying to treat anxiety by having hallucinations. And I compared that to treating your restless leg syndrome with a medication that can kill you.

    Even in the states where it is legal, cannabis distribution isn't reliable.

    Actually, no, I don't. I always compare the potential side effects to the seriousness of what the drug is supposed to fix.

    My thought exactly. It's like that pill to help you end restless leg syndrome- side effect of death.

    Let's help you stop smoking by sending you on a Magical Mushroom Tour!

  10. Wouldn't it just be easier to build a drone to open a hyperspace window at comicon?

  11. It's for the russian development of suicidal drones which will approach their targets and then jump to hyperspace.

    Yes, they are. But an update to source code that won't compile will never be accepted into the main thread anyway.

    "without a good grounding in himself"

    Not very many autists can tell themselves from others enough to have such a grounding. I know I don't.

    Well, yes. Doesn't everybody want the world to cater to their disability? Isn't that the whole point of identity politics in the first place?

    No. I don't get emotions that way. My emotions come from internal to myself and are generated by my own experiences, not other people's.

    But I'll take your word for it that neurotypicals have that kind of emotional telepathy.

    "it is quite obvious that I am intending to convey emotion."

    Not to me it isn't. You could just be expressing mental illness. You might just be joking. You might be angry. There's no way to tell.

    But otherwise, yes. All secondary clues are gone from text. Hint: this is how I experience people talking to me as well. Yelling or whispering, it's all the same to somebody who has no filters on their ears and has to buffer everything for 20 seconds just to get it to make some sense.

    Better yet, let's have a separate CoC for *each distro*, and see which one wins on features by the developers they include.

    My guess is that the most inclusive CoC would win, and it's not likely to be the "White men are icky and asian men oppress women" distro.
