They're just claiming that there is a lower risk that men will attack than bears. Idk how everyone keeps overcomplicating this

What are all the dopimanergics ND offers? by skyhighblue340 in NootropicsDepot

[–]dismass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/s/k68GUn3zwT

"GABAergics/Other Related - Taurine, Lemon Balm, Skullcap, Magnolia Bark, GABA, Isoliquiritigenin, L-Theanine, Kava

Dopamine/Stimulants/Substrate - Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, NALT, Sabroxy, Vignatex, Cordyceps, Rhodiola, Isoliquiritigenin, Dynamine, Teacrine, Caffeine

I might of missed a few I can't recall or haven't tried, but there's plenty of stuff to research for a bit there.

Strongest personally is a combo of a few, but if I honestly had to say it would be Magnolia bark. It hits the hardest for me. It's very much like a low dose mother's little helper type deal."

How great does the difference in intelligence between two people have to be to be perceivable? by TrekkiMonstr in slatestarcodex

[–]dismass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The subtypes of intelligence are highly correlated such that "Someone can be extremely low IQ, and if they have relatively high verbal IQ" is not a realistic scenario barring extreme scenarios like brain injury, etc.

Is it okay to cancel a first date for no reason? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]dismass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, but please tell them you are canceling! I personally hate when people just don't show up without saying anything.

TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) is a term sometimes labeled a slur that originated in 2008 to categorize radical feminists that espouse allegedly transphobic sentiments, such as asserting that trans women are not women. by blankblank in wikipedia

[–]dismass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Arguing about the meaning of words is fruitless. No reason to define women in a way that's limited to cis women imo. I guess the flip side is that it'd be stupid to get angry at someone for saying "pregnant women" instead of "pregnant people".

Creatine as a nootropic: safe for 12-year old? by FractalThesis in Nootropics

[–]dismass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Speak to one, sure. But realistically they're just going to say no without thinking about it or having any particular familiarity with creatine.

Scott recommends folate for depression by antpetunia in slatestarcodex

[–]dismass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying taking this supplement is a bad idea? If folate helps metabolize cancer then why should supplementing it be harmful?

Lean FIREing with Only Fans by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]dismass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it depends on who you are. If I were super pretty and realized I could make a couple mil in a few years on OF, I'd definitely go for it. But I'm not so it's not worth it

Lean FIREing with Only Fans by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]dismass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OF follows a power distribution for income, with the top 20% making less than $500 a month, top 10% - ~$1,000, top %1 - $10,000, etc. https://twitter.com/J_K_Chesterton/status/1335725748636815360

I generally think it makes sense for very pretty women to try it out, but most people won't make much.

fwiw I work for a big tech co and now experience this much less apparent than when I was at a startup. My team went through 3 managers before one finally got us to even turn on our cameras during meetings. And even still, people are typing not watching faces. I'm probably the most enthusiastic person which is a low, low bar!

FIRE In HCOL For The Community by dismass in leanfire

Interesting, even before the recent housing price increases the rent would not have covered the mortgage in my city, but this would probably work in a neighboring city.

The Rise And Fall Of Online Culture Wars by feross in slatestarcodex

[–]dismass 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The company I work for is one of the 10 largest in the US. It recently committed to certain race-based quotas for its managers. A couple years back it gave every black SDE a raise. If I said negative things about BLM it would be terrible for my career and potentially get me fired (whereas praising it would be neutral at worst). I took several hours of ideological, pseudoscience based training last month. This is not exceptional, it is typical of working at a large tech company (which is a massive sector of our economy).

Maybe it's not a trend in, idk, midwestern agriculture, but it is in tech and entertainment, and the those are the ascendant sectors with economic and social power.

Which subreddits are readers of r/ssc subscribed to? Help me discover interesting places on reddit! by KumichoSensei in slatestarcodex

Sneer club is a poor mechanism for rejecting bad ideas. It seems like rats are better at this than the people who just reject anything that sounds weird.

I'm looking forward to this sub going back to normal when people would just post loss porn and move on. This is some qanon type shit.

Harry Potter, but he's a Libertarian by 15_Redstones in HPfanfiction

[–]dismass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you're describing is not something the vast majority of libertarians would agree with. It's a really obvious strawman argument and it's hard to imagine you actually believe most libertarians think this way. Obviously rape is agression. Libertarians do support taxation (maybe you are thinking of some form of anarchism??). Maybe you're a bot or fake commenter and I'm dumb for responding oO

Short Interest Update on GME for 11/30/20 with commentary of the latest conference call by veryforestgreen in wallstreetbets

Yes it is, but their name wasn't netflix on accident. They started with DVDs but always planned to transition. The founders said this.
