The vibes are great, the mechanics are deep, the controls and discoverability were dogshit. Or maybe I'm just too zoomer brained.

Snuggies are too loose to be attractive. I'm a big fan of the onesie. Feels great to hug a gal in one.

Would you say it's immoral for someone to intentionally burn themselves so they could get a cool scar? What about smashing their own (non shared) things in a fit of rage?

Was that based on anything or just a typical smear job?

I don't doubt this phenomena exists, but I've never witnessed it first hand. Maybe people I know don't give off simp vibes?

Maybe they've been maximizing shareholder value a little too hard. Maybe society would be better off if they didn't maximize as ruthlessly.

There's a sweet spot of moderate to low dosages where it enables intentional, manual rewiring. I don't really get the fixation on macrodoses.

I recently got a Sega Dreamcast and have been enjoying games I first played on the Game Cube. Soul Calibur holds up really well and looks beautiful. Sonic Adventure... not so much. Anybody else been getting into retro game stuff?

It's simultaneously profound and trivial that BDSM is a safer way to satisfy the same urges that lead to domestic violence. Too much of the "community" is tied up in consent ideology and PR to really dig into the implications of this.

Yeah he's gone public with his name after the whole NYT doxxing thing and the shift to substack.

My first instinct was that drugs categorically different because they cause physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. A quick google search tells me that gambling withdrawal is a thing, but all the sources are treatment centers, and all the symptoms are psychological. Withdrawing from amphetamine left me pretty much non-functional for weeks. I doubt gambling can cause that sort of nervous system damage.

I think we exist in numbers, but we're less represented among frequent posters.

Thiel commented on SSC? I read the comments section pretty religiously and completely missed that one.

I'd be interested in reading further if you have any references on this topic.

Knowing what printer was used isn't that much of a threat if you plan around it. People leave out perfectly good printers on the street when they move. They sell them in yard sales without taking ID. Collect a few without being traced, print the fraudulent ballots, then dump them somewhere.
Also wonder how hard it would be to hack a printer to change the dot pattern it imparts.

Eh, I don't think weed causes much cross talk. More like putting a thick layer over everything. Psychedelics on the other hand? It's cross talk central.

I pretty much gave up on smoking weed because all the legal options are way too strong. One of these days I'll grow my own weak weed.

Re: Self improvement
My experience was that women in my social groups were supportive of male self improvement. They responded positively to guys trying to work out, dress better, have more girl friendly hobbies, learn2cook etc. Chicks see that as value they can capture in a relationship. They look more dimly on PUA stuff, even though it works on them. From their perspective, it's a form of trickery via false advertising.
Re: Limb lengthening:
I think that's directly analogous to facial plastic surgery on a chick. Even when reproduction isn't the conscious goal, that's what people are thinking of at a subconscious level. Your kids won't get that height or that nose.

When marijuana was first legalized where I lived, it was a massive PITA to get it and there weren't that many dispensaries. The illegal trade still retained a huge portion of the market share. At a certain point, legal vs. illegal isn't what people are choosing based off. It also becomes convenient vs. inconvenient. If the above rules were put into place, you'd find no shortage of "beer guys" within the month.

Marrying and having children with a citizen seems like it would give someone sufficient attachment to the nation.

I really wish we had the level of UI accessibility of that game combined with the deep mechanics and settings of alpha centauri. Friends have played beyond earth with me, nobody wants to play alpha centauri.
