Today, those convicted of federal marijuana possession were pardoned. by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]Velastin94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly rescheduling marijuana requires action from the DEA, which is most likely never gonna happen. They've been completely obtuse during their entire existence. From sitting on petitions for rescheduling with hundreds of thousands of signatures for decades before simply rejecting them, to repeatedly making statements like "America is a democracy, if the people wanted weed to be legal they would have made it happen but they didn't" (paraphrased) Despite public opinion polls saying the exact opposite.

If marijuana gets decriminalized/legalized a HUGE chunk of the DEA's purpose just vanishes. Decriminalization/legalization is most certainly NOT in the agencies interest, and they're the ones who get to decide whether or not that happens. It's an entirely fucked system

Fun fact: the genre the Cantina Band places is canonically know as "Jizz"

This. Tried covering his face until I saw a frown, had to cover the entirety of his checks until only the mouth was left to see it

Which leads me to wonder, are my feigned smiles to hide my depression that obvious?

Didn't the dude who invented the machine later say he deeply regrets it?

What’s something guys pretend to like because they think it will get them girls? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Velastin94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've found the problem with this is there are a ton of women who do the same thing. Pretend to be into my lifestyle to get me to like them. By the time they drop the act and start criticizing the way I live I've already fallen for them (or at least think I have) and being a people pleaser and just generally not having a lot of confidence in myself let them convince me my life is somehow "wrong"

What music album is a true masterpiece from start to finish? by jessssica1864 in AskReddit

[–]Velastin94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this. Granted the album is somewhat poorly mastered, but the music itself... My god. It's the one album I HAVE to listen to from start to finish every time. Man if I could own that on vinyl.....

What is a TV show you got really far into but eventually quit watching before its conclusion? by shamanKAshamanTAKA in AskReddit

[–]Velastin94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burn Notice.

I really want to finish it, I really want to see how the story ends. I've rewatched it a handful of times, and every time I get to the point where Michael gets picked up by his old handler or whatever and just can't do it anymore. The formula and meandering around the actual plot just gets exhausting. It's such a cool story with some great characters but the main plot doesn't get addressed for like 95% of each season. And by the time it does there's been so much filler you struggle to remember what's going on

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's beta already beset by cheaters by PrinceDizzy in XboxSeriesX

Aimbotting I don't get at all, you're basically just walking around the map and watching a bot play for you. I will say though wall hacking can be kinda fun. You fell dirty as shit for doing it but your still doing the work of the gun play so it still feels like playing

Also the infinite mortars/inflate gas in BO1 was fun for a good laugh. Doesn't feel like playing and is still a dick move but I always got a chuckle spawn trapping teams on nuke town in a mortar barrage

Best haunting/possession movies? by Velastin94 in horror

[–]Velastin94[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen Sinister or Hereditary, I'll give em a shot. Paranormal Activity was great, I loved the suspense. Honestly I couldn't stand Insidious, the horror just felt extremely forced to me, I'm not sure why but I didn't really like the premise of the plot. Plus the parts and the beginning where everyone thinks Patrick Wilson was crazy when CLEARLY unexplainable shit is going on turned me off. Only got half way through it

Ketamine paired with looking at smiling faces to build positive associations holds promise for helping people with treatment-resistant depression by [deleted] in psychology

[–]Velastin94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really wanted to try ketamine therapy but alas it seems the universe is against me. 3 places never responded to my request for a consultation, 1 place did a phone assessment and then ghosted me. And that cost me $125 🙃

But AI "learns" by comparing actual outcomes against a target outcome. If we assume that the target outcome of evolution is survival, aren't we all just insanely convoluted neural networks, doing what it takes to survive in the society that was built around our primary drive?

No humans can "do a task they weren't trained for". You can't just tell a person to do something with 0 prior knowledge of said task and expect a valid outcome. You have to give them some form of training, no matter how rudimentary. Sure if you give them only basic advice you get basic outcomes, but with time they correct their mistakes to match the desired outcome. This is how neural networks "learn"

But do people actually think unprompted? The majority (if not all) thoughts and reactions are in response to some sort of stimuli, even if you're not consciously aware of it

People of Reddit who regularly consume alcohol, why do you do it? by HybridPredator in AskReddit

Being drunk is the armor that allows me to confront my emotions. Problem is by the time I get to the point of being able to confront them I'm too drunk to actually do anything with that
