You and Samuel L. Jackson are both triangle posers.

Originally posted by Malice Oh man, chronic fatigue and insomnia are such a bad fucking combination. You’re too tired to do anything, even concentrate on anime, yet you still can’t fucking fall asleep. I swear, this is some Dante’s Inferno type of shit, like being in a layer of limbo.
At least Ash had been regularly keeping me company at night. Can’t blame her for preferring the freedom of the outdoors during the day, the warmth of the sun, particularly with the Bay Area’s weather, but out must be nice for her to be protected from the cold and wind. Poor creatures.
Feels nice to have something sentient share your bed. It’s how we evolved.
Bowling alone (decline of civic participation), aspects of modern economies, unfortunate effects of multiculturalism. The, as some had named them, diseases of modern civilization make perfect sense. Depression is projected to become the leading cause of disability.
Industrial society and its future
Everything makes so much sense, but realistically you’re powerless to alter it. It’s the fundamentals of human nature and long-term trends, these petty churnings and passing whims aren’t even worth paying attention to.
did you make The Duke kill himself?
I remember his post like YIPPIE, I'm 30 years old and I just rode my bike down to work on a roof for free. I'm coming out of this depression.
then him hitting me up like, Yo, don't talk shit about my e-gf. -

Kundalini is a Sanskrit word that literally means “snake.” Kundalini is also called “serpent power” because this sleeping spiritual force in every human being lies coiled at the base of the spine. Once awakened, it rises through a series of centers, also called chakras, and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge and mystical visions. According to the Tantric tradition, the human body contains seven centers of subtle energy (chakras), referred to as “lotuses,” through whose channels the kundalini rises. The concept of kundalini can also be examined from a strictly psychological perspective. From this perspective kundalini can be thought of as a rich source of psychic or libidinous energy in our unconscious. The kundalini is coiled up like a very tight spring, and when released there is sometimes an explosion of power. Properly directed, the kundalini will travel up a tube in the energy body that lies close to the spine. Without proper direction, the release of kundalini can be very uncomfortable and possibly damaging.

2017-05-14 at 6:48 PM UTCDoes anyone else just start feeling mildly unnerved and uncomfortable when they see images like the ones Scron posted two posts above after having done psychedelics, particularly DMT?
It's almost like a fear that a trip is going to be spontaneously triggered. Well, considering how intense and novel they are, the memory formation, it makes sense. -

I got that exact same feeling when Sploo first sent those to me.

2017-05-14 at 7:20 PM UTCOh my god this world is so fucking boring and unfulfilling. I completely understand why people become drug addicts. Of course the vast majority of it is going to cater to and reflect the vast majority of the masses, which are fucking terrible!
This really is like being born into hell on Earth.
Or it could just be the severe anhedonia. Let's give the whole volunteering/reintegrating into society thing a try and see how it goes.
I have to say, though, most people even without my condition, in my situation, are not particularly happy. Benatar makes some pretty solid arguments that the quality of life of even the best is very poor, and we have immense cognitive biases, he mainly focuses on the optimistic ones, that greatly skew our perception and cause us to judge life as being far more positive than it actually is.
I want a sign that depicts Nardil and therapy, and below it one of the famous final lines, "THIS IS NOT AN EXIT". -

Is the github issue about PMs running past the container concerning the mobile site? I got a long PM from malice that I couldn't read because there was no way to scroll right on mobile. -
2017-05-14 at 8:02 PM UTC1337, I have a question for you: You seem pretty successful and managed to get your life together. At the same time you have some serious issues you have to deal with, which I can completely relate. You're also clearly well above average in terms of intelligence.
You know how fucked up my position in life is, so my question is this: If I wanted to get into neuroscience, just as a passion and to see how far I could get, regardless of how far behind I am, what would be the best way to do it?
Should I just find a good community college to go to and start racking up credits? I've read about 3 year programs in some states, but I sure as hell can't afford them right now since I'm pretty much going to have to start over from nothing. Here in the bay area if you're on SSI the fee for Berkeley City College is waived.
I could also take the SATs and probably score pretty damn high on reading, writing and language, and the essay, it's just math that I'd have to completely relearn. I'm not sure I have an affinity for it because it's boring as hell, but maybe if I learned something foundational, like number theory, I could see the beauty of it and at least take it as a challenge for cognitive stimulation.
Lanny recommended the latter. Of course I remember your entire life story, the school issue, how you got into SFSU based on SATs, and the state payed for nearly all of your tuition.
Man, fuck it, you can take the SAT multiple times. Lanny mentioned before that in his experience as a tutor, or perceiving others, many students essentially had to learn years of material in a few weeks time, and it fucking worked for most of them!. Maybe I'll just cram for a few months, with the help of flmodafinil, and take it just to see how I score. I'd mostly be competing with kids 18 and under, and at least I did a shit load of reading, so I don't think my odds are too bad. Just a decent university would be good enough if it had an opportunity to transfer.
I fucking wish I could afford a tutor to just guide me through the most efficient path, but I sure as hell can't afford it. Not sure if I could receive one for free, although they're bound to be sub-par compared to private sector workers. -

Man, you should just delete that anyway. It was probably just a rant about how having children is the worst thing you could do and that you should feel bad about it. -

I assume that you graduated high school. Did you ever take the SAT/ACT while you were there? Honestly I wouldn't worry about it at this point unless it's specifically required; you're not competing with other kids to get into college. Start at a community college and get most of the prerequisites out of the way for whatever specific bachelor's degree you want. This will give you a feel for college (and being around people again daily) without flushing a bunch of money down the toilet if it doesn't work out psychologically for you. You are a smart son of a bitch, so I can't imagine actual academics standing in the way. After you get an associates or feel the need to move on, apply to university. I would do this as early as possible because of research opportunities.
FSU didn't have a specific neuroscience BS program, so I would have to go with a general biology or (bio)chemistry BS (preferably biochem), and specialize in neuroscience with your electives. I majored in Biology, specializing in evolutionary biology. The important thing to do at university is to get into research. Show up to all your professors' office hours and make sure they know who you are. Ask if they need any research assistants, don't get discouraged if everyone turns you down. Make yourself known to them, demonstrate your love of neuroscience/pharmacology. I started research with a chemistry professor my sophomore year, you will be the lowest bitch on the totem pole and overworked but it's important to get your foot in the door.
I'm not sure what your ultimate goal is with neuroscience, but you'll probably need a masters to get any professional role besides a high school teacher.
Florida WAS nice because our lottery paid for a scholarship program called Bright Futures. I actually got a full ride scholarship through the state, a $3000/yr private scholarship, and FSU gave me $2000/yr. Plus I completed the IB program, which gave me a year and a half worth of college credits. Since I finished undergrad, the bright futures program has been severely cut back.
Don't worry about the SAT, that is certainly not what will hold you back.
