gabriel_laddel: but all of this is solved when I take
a pill - not just
a caffine pill - but
a coffee extract?
gabriel_laddel: and all of this is solved by taking
a pill before I go to sleep
trinque: gabriel_laddel: this sounds like "I should've given
a fuck" not "I gave
a fuck"
trinque: to be grinning with
a "fuck you" to the sergeant that'd come busting into my room screaming hoping I was still asleep
trinque: and I went to
a few pretend military camps in the summer and woke up myself every morning while there
trinque: except I didn't give
a fuck to, and my mother woke me up with breakfast and all my shit ready to go
trinque: yeah I "never could wake up" as
a teenager either
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I've lived with myself for 23 years, and have at no point been able to wake up sanely. I try it with these caffine pills and et viola! I wake up like
a normal human!
trinque: these types of experiences (and they're probably the cheapest version) will rid you of that nonsense in
a moment
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: yeah, I don't know what this "being
a man" stuff is about
trinque: accepted he might die, then found it within himself to be
a man and swim his ass back to what felt like shore, and he did
mircea_popescu: the only reason it's not included in the series version is that it's
a stupid idea.
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> and then I spend more time hacking apart portage than I would have otherwise << no you don't. this is like the ridiculous notion of teenagers that they'll make
a car "better".
gabriel_laddel: it's
a horrid slog through boring nonsense, depression, the works.
trinque: is it that you have trouble clearing your head to consider one thing at
a time?
trinque: like you're
a guy at the bridge of yourself directing things rather than being the thing
trinque: this notion of making oneself do
a thing is bizarre
trinque: I'm at
a cup
a day now, fine
mircea_popescu: how about
a cup
a day or every coupla days or something. like sane people.
trinque: I've quit it entirely before, feels like shit, but
a lot of the "stress" I was feeling back then was the several cups of coffee per day I was drinking.
gabriel_laddel: and this goes away completely when I don't drink
a lot of coffee
gabriel_laddel: with coffee there are all sorts of weird things: like whenever I have
a bike pass me by, I sort of envision it running into me.
mircea_popescu: trinque the caution being that it's
a single study and they might be insane.
gabriel_laddel: like, you're just standing and then the stray thought "hey, it'd be nice to fall into bed, except there isn't
a bed her" flies through your mind?
trinque: as it stands you've got
a massive addiction to caffeine
trinque: that is, as long as you can convince yourself you have
a good chance at being in the state you want to be in ;)
mircea_popescu: except ss knows enough about this to not want to touch it, so the aspirational down kids over at dod get
a chance to shine.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is that dod is uniquely unequipped to do this. this is
a job for the ss, which is WHY they handlwe counterfitting in the first place.
mircea_popescu: they got
a stretched asshole the size of the gulf, and they're gonna work towards stitching it back together ?
mircea_popescu: "the cream of what nature can offer, best roe, of which in principle
a person no matter how rich still should only consume limited amounts for
a very simple reason : if you do not alternate with inferior product you wiull become used to it, and then depressed. intelligent people eat it once
a month and live happilly ever after."
mircea_popescu: "I. Ersteklasse. Crema
a ceea ce poate oferi natura, icrele cele mai bune, din care in principiu un cetatean, oricit de bogat s-ar gasi, are totusi
a consuma cantitati limitate, dintr-un motiv foarte simplu : daca nu alternezi cu produse inferioare te vei obisnui, si-apoi te vei deprima. Oamenii inteligenti le gusta lunar si traiesc fericiti pina la adinci batrineti."
mircea_popescu: "no, parkinson, this is
a legitimately defined disease with
a biological backing. no, he is actually measuring the chemistry involved, dopamine. no, actually." etc
mats: asciilifeform: I believe, have done so on
a few occasions
mats: e.g. distracting euphoria, I could still sleep while on the tail end of
a 100mg dosage 7-8hrs in
trinque: I would wager this is more to do with "wow, this is what
a smart person must feel like" and thereby actually doing some work than the effect of the chemical.
mircea_popescu: you lot could just as well have
a glass of water and go takle
a nap.
mircea_popescu: alf too, but alf only took
a kindergarten level chemistry class
mats: did
a stint in pharmacy school, rite?
☟︎ mircea_popescu also started his final thesis in college 5 months early, and was done with it about
a month and
a half before it was supposed to be turned in.
mircea_popescu: "take this pill, it simulates taking
a piss" "or i could... take
a piss ?" "yes, of course".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's probable. i have
a poor reaction to many of these.
mats: but I'll give it
a go, soon as I acquire
a hot plate
mats: guess it's
a good thing I've only consumed
a few dozen of em
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel that not liking being sober is
a very poor reason to be drunk. or whatever you call it.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> cue 'everyone has that option', here have
a broomstick << or
a Bible
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel it's
a paradoxical thing, what can i say.
mircea_popescu: honestly, if i actually needed some substance to think i would probably drop everything and go shoot bears for
a while.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I try to make
a point of drinking less, and it works. for
a while. then I'm back to
a pot or two
a day.
mircea_popescu:
a) you should drink about
a gallon of water
a day ; b) if you don't like how much coffee you drink just make
a point of drinking
a little less each day for
a while ?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I drink about 2 pots
a day without it sometimes.
mats: and something known as
a 'paramotor', which is kinda cool.
mats: i'm seeing
a lot of results for tents with the 'easyup' search query
mats: at least its not
a tranny this time
gabriel_laddel: Does any commercial Lisp IDE have
a fast autocomplete that works like "apropos at point" ie, across all packages?
mircea_popescu: "They are better educated than previous generations and they were raised by baby boomers who lavished
a lot of attention on their children," said Andrew Kohut [the director of the Pew Research Center.]
mircea_popescu: q : is there
a way to actually publish this as
a discrete item ?
shinohai: I'm not, just
a guy I have known since I started bitcoin
a few years ago.
shinohai: Helping
a friend in Brasil set up realbitcoin, trying to get him up to speed on gpg so he can come here.
gribble: Error: "market" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: "the greatest peacock i ever saw!" "that's
a human from rockefeller center" "but i see no penis ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: "I've rarely met an ADHD kid who sleeps enough, and I've never met an ADHD adult or adolescent who does. When
a kid is sleep deprived, he gets hyper; they are too tired to be inhibited, too tired to exert self-control."
shinohai: There used to be
a tranny pr0n site that accepted btc for subscriptions.
shinohai: Am I an asshole if I go there and get
a loan then default ?
mircea_popescu: come to tyhink abo0ut it, one could open
a whole fast food chain / pizzeria call it DeLay
ben_vulpes: eh, pipe to haus is slow. still, nearly
