  • We would have been miles better off if Trump won

    You’re off your rocker. It would have been the same shit then as now - that is to say, a setup for dictatorship. The reality is you’re arguing over very minor bullshit, when you probably won’t have free elections in 3 years because of Trump’s current actions.

    I think this is the sort of assertion I would be careful making.

    Trans people and drag queens, like all segments of the population, are not completely insusceptible to being pedophiles. Further, if there is a trans person or drag queen on the list, which is not impossible, they will be the one made an example of, even if 90% of the list is male billionaires.


  • People who drive with unsafe mechanical issues they can’t or won’t get fixed are still going to exist, and bald tires and worn brakes would eliminate any potential safety benefits of self driving.

    In European nations we just inspect the shit out of every car to ensure safety. The car must be mechanically satisfactory and have adequate brakes, tyres, etc.

    Now I can sleep at any time virtually anywhere.

    just to chime in, I have the polar opposite of your experience and still can zonk out in 5 mins any time I like. The only consistent thing is that I get a minimum of 6 hours of sleep a night, but my smartwatch still gives me sleep ratings in the high 80s and low 90s almost every night. No idea if this is in any way scientific but people on Reddit seem to value it.

    I also am registered as having the stress of a puddle, similarly.

    For most people, I think it is more to do with genetics rather than any real habits. I think all you really need to do is make your bedroom completely dark and slightly cold, and exercise a couple of times a week.










  • Partial agreement. I think that medication for mental illnesses is still essentially in the dark ages, and it’s partially because they were not allowed to use the plants for research to determine what about them was effective, correctly engineer them into a standardised type, and work on the therapies to work best with them.

    The physical point I don’t agree with. In these instances, the effective plants have been researched and their mode of action has (generally) been determined. It is then possible to engineer them into higher and more consistent effectiveness in the human body, than the plants which essentially had an effect by random chance.
