gabriel_laddel: right, but I'm here to have a good time in spite of that
gabriel_laddel: I no longer smoke, but programming while smoking was always nice.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: ah, so nicotine is one of my favorite as well
gabriel_laddel: fine, trinque, what are your top 3 favorite substances to use in moderation, with a trip sitter, etc etc
gabriel_laddel: the problem with being healthy is that I get too turned on by everything.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: so what is your top 3 favorite substances of abuse?
gabriel_laddel: well, that is a fair point, but I don't want to e.g., lose weight.
gabriel_laddel: I'll go with "I treat my body like shit, and do pretty well "
gabriel_laddel: And this is sort of what I'm getting at - people differ greatly. Modafinil doesn't work for me, some people can't take caffine before bed, some people can't drink and have sex (MP's eugenics article) and some can.
gabriel_laddel: (for the record, taking a regular caffine pill before sleep doesn't wok)
gabriel_laddel: but all of this is solved when I take a pill - not just a caffine pill - but a coffee extract?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I enjoyed the fuck out of going to buy $CENSORED and was really excited about it, but ended up sleeping through the allotted time.
gabriel_laddel: and all of this is solved by taking a pill before I go to sleep
gabriel_laddel: and even with people screaming at me, I still missed things
gabriel_laddel: trinque: you're missing my point, or I'm not stating it correctly. I've missed things I care deeply about because of sleep
gabriel_laddel: trinque: people have screamed things of this nature at me when I would miss the little school I went to
gabriel_laddel: trinque: you'd think that. but I've missed events I *really* wanted to attend because I wouldn't wake
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!
gabriel_laddel: yeah, I don't know what this "being a man" stuff is about
gabriel_laddel: I understand the point you're making, but simply don't find that it applies to my situation.
gabriel_laddel: and the whole process of brushing teeth takes like 1 hour
gabriel_laddel: othewise I wake up and hate myself, am unable to open my eyes etc
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: look, there are some things that I *know* make my body work better
gabriel_laddel: actually, with respect to portage / gentoo / funtoo - yeah
gabriel_laddel: and then I spend more time hacking apart portage than I would have otherwise
gabriel_laddel: trinque: for example, the modafinil that I've taken works great for other people.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: it seems to me that the other thing missing from this discussion is that we've all very different chemistry.
gabriel_laddel: it's a horrid slog through boring nonsense, depression, the works.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: in part. It's also that I'm just not interested or excited about life without coffee.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: so wait, you don't get more absorbed in whatever you're doing when drinking coffee?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: the problem I have with being coffee-free isn't the stress, but rather that I miss having my thoughts race around
gabriel_laddel: I've been burnt out on coke and hating life, but never have had this effect.
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.
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?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: do you have the effect of almost fainting sometimes?
