Suntheanine was consistently effective and most of the other brands were seemingly inactive or unnoticable. I've always had to order online as all of the brands I've bought in store seem to be bunk.

Even still I found tolerance to rise quickly with daily theanine use.

I was so wrong lol; find philosophical satisfaction when you don't have to work on anything you don't want to do. Seems really obvious now haha... ah well.

LSD is almost nothing like psilocybin or mescaline or DMT. And nothing is like salvinorin...

I need to experience the majesty of SID scalar and vector processor synthesis for myself.

None of these improvements ever resulted in getting a raise, or a faster promotion, or getting to go home earlier. All it earned me was extra time to do other people's work, or to stare at the floor and look like a lazy unproductive employee.

I never had any real expectations otherwise; I did it out of boredom. But still I feel stupid for having done it at all.

Medically assisted suicide should be a federal right. It's abhorrently shameful that we wouldn't allow a dog to die this way, yet somehow it's acceptable to watch a parent or spouse to go through this with NO HOPE of recovery. It makes me so angry.

I want to move on with my life, instead I need to play games every couple weeks filling my prescribed meds because people are resentful that their peers back in college might have studied longer for a test? Are you fucking kidding me.

And honestly? Why is this even being discussed, as if college kids getting adderall to study for math tests is some societal scourge ruining lives or something? Who gives a shit and why is it an issue that justifies making life difficult for people who are prescribed it?

I have probably filled at least 60TB of drives in the past year alone since my ISP has been ignoring data caps, and that is besides the large amount that IS deleted, as I do not archive anything that's been lossily compressed after being ripped unless a higher quality version does not publicly exist.

I "hoard" TOSEC libraries for every conceivable console and consumer computer system from ~1970 up to the PS3, but don't archive PC games past the DOS era, because Steam exists as a better service than I can provide for myself, so I use that. There is no equivalent service for music or film or Amiga games.

For the record, most of the 37-year-olds I know who didn't go to work in comp sci, engineering, trades, or medical device sales have been in more or less the same sort of career purgatory since 2009 that Gen Z can look forward to in their immediate future. In a way I envy them because they get to skip the emotional rollercoaster of starting from a position of hope and lofty expectations. I think.

I know for sure that the 59-year-old executives calling the shots at the biotech company I work for aren't afraid of the 37-year-olds or the 23-year-olds, as it's long been made clear that everyone is equally disposable.
