2017-05-13 at 4:20 PM UTC in LannyYou are looking at Lanny as someone in a position of power, like he has some sort of control or something. The reality is during our great migration he was most capable among us to raise his hand and volunteer, almost as if fated by the Gods to carry the torch.
He is simply a cog in the machine, part of a series of events greater than himself that have volition of their own. I cannot hold him responsible for anything that goes on here, even banning me.
Ultimately he is just another poster, more than an actual admin which is probably where your displeasure towards him comes from (fuck admins also)
If you really want to be useful you should contribute to the Github and put forth constructive solutions to problems instead of lame criticism and always comparing things to the "Good old days" no amount of moderation, rules, communnity spirit, new users, fancy UI, message boxes or anything can fix this mess. We are FUCKED, this is the fucking mongolvoid garbage asteroid from futurama doomed to destroy earth.
All we can do is try to steer it out of the path of all those poor innocents down there and try not to wipe them all out.

2017-05-12 at 10:52 PM UTC in Pro: About psychiatrists, even if you don’t need one right now
Originally posted by Malice BTW, right now I'm still glad I hurt your feelings, hopefully deeply, because I think you deserve it on some level, needed to hear it, and it may do you some good at some point. Even if it's purely out of a desire to see others suffer, I am not sorry. Just being perfectly honest and open. Any apology would be disingenuous.
You didn't hurt my feelings, sorry if that's disappointing. Do you actually think you can put together a rant that will make me feel insecure in any novel way based on selective autism memory of posts I've made on "niggasin.space"? Like did you think I was going to be shocked or hurt by someone telling me what? That I'm not the most important or smartest person in the world? Normal people realize this around like middle school when skill levels in a peer group clearly start to diverge.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Have I read a blog post about SSRIs? Like 4 pages worth of paper review aimed at a general audience? That's what I need to read make informed comment on the clinical efficacy of SSRIs? I mean I read it, awhile ago while trawling through SSC archives (you overrate this dude, him and like 20 other entirely uninspired LW orbiting bloggers are old hat in the HN circle), not that it's relevant because you'll notice I said nothing about SSRIs. The entire point was there's more to treatment than drugs, but this seems to have gone entirely over your head.Have I ever said a thing about computer science to you?
You take the opportunity to tell me about the aggregate psychology of people in my field (one you'd probably struggle to even define on the spot) on a regular basis, and you have some pretty, uhh, bold, opinions about artificial intelligence. So yeah, you have, often.No, because I haven't studied it and i have the humility and self-awareness of my limitations to know I'm completely unqualified to have an opinion.
Right, and you read a blogpost about SSRIs so you are now an authority on the subject, certainly anything you say carries more weight than working professionals in the field of psychiatry.And let's see how well life works out for you when you feel increasingly unfulfilled, alienated, unable to find a suitable long term partner, and eventually end up drinking yourself to death. Still planning to go back to school? Are you planning on retiring early and then realizing that it's nothing like you expected and you have nothing to do with your life. Or you could do like anyone else, keep working for decades contributing to a system you hate, the novelty and enjoyment decreasing more and more, likely fall into the lifestyle of choosing the wrong wife, having kids because you likely will change your mind due to being weak willed and still driven by strong biological impulses, especially since you're so spineless that if you do find someone to enter into a relationship with and they eventually develop baby fever you'll end up caving in, and be trapped in the same hell as almost everyone, which in your youthful naivety you'd swear to avoid. And if you leave them, odds are you may attempt to go through this cycle of new relations, but eventually you'll end up alone, completely miserable, and unfulfilled, and these were the exact fears you voiced some time ago.
Honestly, if you claim to be happy in life, I don't think you really understand what happiness is, or just how little emotion you experience compared to others.
There is absolutely nothing remarkable about you. You make money, which clearly doesn't bring you much happiness in life and isn't your main goal in life, you're intelligent, good at compsci, well read, may have some interesting things to talk about, although I doubt you have many, if any people in your life, to have deep discussions with about the things that truly matter to you, and when you to talk to others you most likely just go along with either completely mundane conversation, shallow and unfulfilling attempts at discussion where no one shares your views etc.
But you know what? There are literally countless others like you in your relatively small geographical area. People only feel large, unique, and important because their worlds are so tiny.
Some time ago, influenced by experimentation with LSD (I recommended Stanislav grof to you) you said you felt fine with just being a cog in humanity. So go ahead and tell yourself you're okay with it, but the truth is that cogs are insignificant compared to not only the entire machine, but the far more important segments as well, and they're boring as hell. That's what you are.
If I never do get better I may just hunt you down beforehand and take you down with me. You were dumb enough to reveal your face and let me record enough (check keyring recorders on eBay, you can strip them down to their basic components and modify them to work peeking out of a coat button hole or pocket) of you to have a pretty solid composite to identify you by, along with all the other information you were either stupid or careless enough to reveal to narrow down your area to a few square blocks, which I already showed you before. Hell, maybe I'll take down any loved ones, if you have any at that point, just because I think you deserve it.
That's an awfully vitriolic attack on my person, literally a threat to murder me and people I care about, inspired by what exactly? Me telling you that you could take a more holistic approach to the treatment of mental illness? You've admitted yourself that you need learn to live with other people, do you really think this is an effective mode human interaction?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny The fault, dear malice, is not in our medical practitioners, but in ourselves. I hate to be a downer but this kind of thing can't help but make me think you're never going to get better. Medication is an important part of the clinical process but the fact that you lack the ability to introspect, to realize your inability to fully participate in treatment is the reason you are treatment resistant. Gaming the system for drugs is the exact same thing as your campaign of killing yourself slowly with insane amount of dietary supplements and RCs. It's not a viable strategy.

Originally posted by Darth Beaver Just stop whining for attention. For almost a decade you have whined on the internet about how fucked up everything/everyone/you/life is/are/was/always willing be. Either go live life and enjoy it or shut up and kill yourself already. Otherwise your just an attention whore.
It has not been a decade and almost no one here likes you. I have literally seen you contribute nothing of value. At least I'm still relatively young and have a chance of breaking out of being a loser, but how fucking old are you and why are you still clinging to this community? Almost no one sticks around here unless they aren't that happy in life, have a serious lack of social relations, people they can't relate to, autism spectrum disorders, severe anxiety issues, depression, etc.
So, it's a serious question. I've accepted why I'm here. Why the fuck are you here when I can't think of a single person that particularly likes you, and if they do they're probably part of the group of members that are the worst posters around, persistently annoying as hell like you, with nothing of intelligence to contribute.
Tell us the truth. You're a bitter old man whose life didn't turn out the way you wanted it to and you've tried to cling to that dying community for this long because you have no real meaningful relationships in your life.
At some point you have to decide whether it's really worth continuing to decline into old age when it's never going to get better, you're just going to continually feel physically and emotionally worse, there will be less and less things to do, time will keep seeming to go by faster, novelty will be impossible to find, you obviously won't be able to attract a dream woman, or anything close to a good woman at all, really, and eventually your body is going to begin to fail, you'll be in horrific pain, humiliated and having to be taken care of by strangers, even shitting yourself and needing your ass to be wiped, no one is going to particularly care enough to ever visit you, and even if they rarely, a very few amount of people, do, in the state you're in you won't be able to enjoy it, you won't be the same person and won't want to be seen in that state, have this be your final memory of yourself, and at some point you'll even develop symptoms similar to dementia and alzheimer's, begin to lose every memory of your life, everything important to you, anything you've ever done, the people you've loved and cared for, everyone you've met, everything you've felt and thought, learned and come to believe in the world.
So when you're facing the inescapability of death that's going to erase every part of you, as if you may as well have never existed, when you finally realize that the life you lived was the real thing, there was never any awakening of the ideal person you thought was inside you, that you could one day become, and that it was all meaningless and for naught, the pure vanity of life.
You're going to ask yourself: Why the hell did I cling on for so long when it amounted to nothing, my life only became increasingly worse, and I suffered so much, all for what?
At the end, this very moment, for the rest of your life, you need to ask yourself: Why don't I commit suicide right now?
Go ahead and brush this off, give a TL;DR or cheesy low brow joke that no one ever finds funny, but on some level you know it's true. And you know what? Regardless of what's going on in my life, my past, the reality is that I'm still in good health, will likely overcome my problems now that I'm making a serious effort and know what I need to do, and I'm going to live. At the end of the day I likely have at least 50 more years on this earth, and that's simply with a modest estimate of a lifespan of 77 years. No health problems, don't drink, smoke, do hard drugs, exercise, won't do anything stupid to get me killed, extremely strict diet I adhere to. Keep in mind that life expectancy is only an average, and all these factors indicate that I should reasonably expect considerably more.
There are incredible advancements occurring right now, some amazing developments, there will likely be breakthroughs in the future extending lifespan even more and preventing or curing serious diseases, and I get to be at the forefront of it. It's an exciting time to be alive.
Sorry you're going to miss all of that. I forget, once again, would you mind telling me how much longer you're expected to live? Have you ever been to a doctor and had a discussion about this?
It doesn't matter what you can type, nothing changes that you're going to die and it's going to feel like it came far sooner than you ever expected, and I won't. Is there anything that can really beat that, or are you going to make me laugh by telling me you'll kill me if we ever meet or are going to put a hit on me?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-05-12 at 3:21 AM UTC in Your daily reminder.So there were like 8 pages and in the first 4 I didn't see a definite answer on why you, Sophie, don't choose to pursue a lifestyle that doesn't require payment of taxes.
Off the top Qatar and the Cayman Islands don't impose income tax. There are also plenty of places where you can easily avoid taxes like any wilderness areas or most of the second and third world. If you start enumerating the options you have for finding a way to live without paying taxes a striking pattern starts to emerge: they're almost all shitty because they involve next to no infrastructure with a very small minority being a situation wherein you have to be incredibly wealthy to have a high quality of life.
Funny how that works, huh?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Open Your Mind Sophie, I really am genuinely interested in hearing your opinion. If you don't want to talk about it anymore I understand. I'm not trying to be a dick. But I'm not convinced.
Originally posted by Open Your Mind Isn't that exactly what I suggested earlier? Convince others, together change society. You got mad at me for suggesting that. Wtf bro. Anyways, convince me at least.
From the statist point of view this would mean getting into politics and becoming the leader of the state. Also i am trying to convince others, but i don't want to compromise my principles in order to gain political power. I can only try to tell people why the state is an amoral institution that derives it's perceived authority from a monopoly on violence. If i become the leader of the state how can i possibly advocate for it's abolishment with a straight face. If you have to do something through force or the threat of force it just means you don't have the arguments to defend your position in any other way.
All i can do is argue the true nature of the state and work around it as much as possible through counter-economics, like bitcoin and other technologies, and peer to peer trade. this is the idea behind agorism, which is a more practical form of anarcho-capitalism.
The reason i reacted in the way that i did is because i thought you were saying that i should get into politics to change society. I'd rather do it through reason and counter-economics and i try to apply those things to my life to the best of my abilities.
Originally posted by Open Your Mind I already told you I think it's only fair that I contribute to a system that I benefit immensely from.
It would be fair, but only if the relationship between you and the system was voluntary to begin with.
Originally posted by Open Your Mind Doesn't feel like I'm being stolen from.
And this what makes people not see how it is wrong. But just because it doesn't feel like you are being stolen from doesn't mean that when you come down to it, it still is actually is theft, fundamentally. No matter how much you think you may or may not benefit from it.
Originally posted by Open Your Mind Feels like I'm part of a big team.
Being a part of a team is a voluntary association. Your association with the state is not voluntary.
Originally posted by Open Your Mind Convince me why this is wrong. I'm listening.
You can feel however you want to feel about it. If you are ok with being stolen from, good for you. This does not mean however, that theft is good and proper by any rational standard.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-05-10 at 8:12 PM UTC in Your daily reminder.Depends on the model. Here in Germany it definitely isn't. I lose about 50% of my income to taxes. I used to buy 1g TPAIN for 10 bucks, now I only pay 5 but on the box it says 55,89. They claim that's what those pills are worth but hey I pay 24.7%(?) healthcare taxes so I only have to pay 5€ extra instead of the full price. That those 25% are about 1k and I could buy a fucking kilo 99% pure TPAIN with it is irrelevantt, right?
I mean I have to think about the other people who are also getting robbed instead of choosing freely what they do with their money, right? Like, for example all the Bill Krozbyes of the world and the 90 year olds on 12 machines in hospitals.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Kolokol-1 I know the whole "vaccines cause autism" thing is generally regarded as false, but in the original package inserts of some vaccines (can't recall which) it literally listed "autism" as a possible side effect.
Uh huh.
Originally posted by Kolokol-1 Whenever there's an outbreak of a virus that people have been vaccinated against, people seem to catch it whether they've been vaccinated or not, which suggests they are ineffective.
That's probably because once a virus enters the body of someone who is not vaccinated, it has a chance that it will mutate, rendering the original vaccine useless. Maybe that person should have FUCKING VACCINATED. Idiot.
Originally posted by Kolokol-1 IMO the reason these viruses are so rare now is improvements in living conditions and sanitation, not due to vaccines.
"IMO" means jack shit. Why should your opinion mean anything when there are literally thousands of medical professionals that disagree with you and have facts to back it up?
Originally posted by Kolokol-1 Babies have very weak immune systems. It seems to me that injecting them with these potentially deadly viruses, even if they are "weakened" is a bad idea. Why can't they wait until the child's immune system is developed more?
Because the longer you wait, the longer they are vulnerable to deadly illnesses, which would be immeasurably worse than any imagined negative scenario that morons like you come up with.
Originally posted by Kolokol-1 I don't really have anything personally against vaccines but it definitely should be parent's choice, not a requirement to go to public school.
It's part of the social contract to live in a civilized world. Why should someone else's kid be put at risk of catching some mutated virus from another kid whose dumbass parents didn't vaccinate?
Originally posted by Kolokol-1 I won't be having children so I haven't really done enough research
Then don't even say shit.
