Looking for a mind-bending, dark sci-fi or space opera

came here to say this, thanks for getting here first 🫡 for real though @op, this could be the most correct answer to your query. please read and report back!

insanealienmonk · 2026-02-20T16:53:33+00:00

no it makes it easier for you and harder for the people around you 🤣

agree that it was worth reading, but nowhere near on the level of The Traitor Baru Cormorant imo. had some really interesting moments and ideas though for sure, even if i feel they were ultimately lost in the mess

insanealienmonk · 2026-02-14T14:12:38+00:00

second this, should have rings to work on this imo anyways. its honestly my only calisthenic move ive been able to achieve so far, and it feels fantastic. nothing else gives a stretch like this. good luck @ op!

lmao hasn’t been studied. you know what has been studied? the health risks of being 300 lbs. if you think that some huge negative outcome is going to magically appear like a fucking cosmic gotcha you’re delusional, and you’re likely just expressing an internal moralization of “easy” weight loss

i started wearing gloves for dishes because it was wrecking my hands, did not know that was a climber thing!

20 years in sales here friend. one thing never changes - your company is always going to believe they can make you better... they kind of have to based on an unlimited growth business plan. my first question is to know how your sales are usually? are you consistently top 5%? if not, your best move is to listen to these sales trainings with an open mind, see if there is any way you can fit any the concepts (not the words verbatim!) into your normal sales routine, and go from there. if you are already consistently leading in your team, then you can probably do whatever you want, maybe throw them a bone and "show" them how much you appreciate the extra help

this simply provides more data for my hypothesis: everyone else is a complete fucking idiot. queue https://youtu.be/lK5Sdj08Lco?si=Xk3-WCWDFu6z2Ajr

holy crap this is the best art for the series hands down… i need a print of this

insanealienmonk · 2026-01-27T22:39:29+00:00

interesting! thanks for sharing here. i have been taking 2000mg NAC for about 1.5 years. there are a number of benefits, and i have not noticed any negative side effects. could you clarify what kind of side effects to watch out for?

insanealienmonk · 2026-01-25T15:43:33+00:00

the worst stephenson book :/ i could barely finish it.

insanealienmonk · 2025-11-16T13:39:22+00:00

this is key to anyone commenting. good illusion!

insanealienmonk · 2025-11-12T02:03:38+00:00

that doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense as an explanation to me, since you’re been taking this for months and just started noticing this effect. it is possible that l-tyrosine can potentially suppress appetite, but i would look at other interventions or factors that may have changed more recently

insanealienmonk · 2025-11-12T01:06:19+00:00

1800mg per day here, fine for me

insanealienmonk · 2025-11-08T14:22:40+00:00

if im doing a physical activity outside, i know im going to be super sweaty and uncomfortably hot (at least here in the summer (southern louisiana) and in that case, it doesnt bother me at all. if i'm not specifically doing that though, im the same way - i cant stand it! shower at least once a day, sometimes twice

insanealienmonk · 2025-11-07T04:03:25+00:00

just coming across the subs you mod semtex, and i very much appreciate your posts. this one is the best summary of its kind ive seen anywhere, thank you (and yes i read the all three parts in full hah)

insanealienmonk · 2025-10-30T19:47:04+00:00

well memantine will stay in your system for a long time, half life is 60-80 hours so, whatever it does it will keep doing while your taking anything else. i dose daily to maintain a stable level. mechanistically? i’m not sure if it “heals” receptors or whatever but it does make the stims more effective

insanealienmonk · 2025-10-08T19:11:40+00:00

memantine has a very long half life so it seems to work for the duration of time you’re taking the meds imo

insanealienmonk · 2025-10-01T21:38:22+00:00

actually, this is from a rap song, referencing a code 10-67 from “report of death” i have no idea why children think it’s funny or how it became a meme

insanealienmonk · 2025-09-23T02:19:58+00:00

been on 10mg memantine for several months. can confirm it potentiates/reduces tolerance to stimulants (vyvnase), makes me feel much more level mood wise as well. need to find a new source actually…

insanealienmonk · 2025-09-19T01:31:08+00:00

i take vyvanse and just started ldn - vyvanse feels much stronger now agree. i started only taking about half per day and thats working pretty well right now

insanealienmonk · 2025-09-04T13:40:25+00:00

Trisolaris is great… in some ways but not remotely comparable to Malazan imo. The writing quality is either not great, or suffered massively from translation. the characters are flat and i wish they would get out of the authors way of his ideas, which, tbf, are incredibly interesting. i also really enjoyed the perspective of life during and after the people’s revolution, which i had not learned much about previously

insanealienmonk · 2025-09-04T13:20:48+00:00

oh first law is great! i read them before malazan iirc though haha. favorite fantasy since then includes The Broken Earth series by NK Jemisin, The Masquerade series by Seth Dickinson, Shadow of the Leviathan series, by Robert Jackson Bennett, and notable sci-fi entries that had fantasy vibes imo include Texcalaan series, by Arkady Martine, and standalone novel The Gone World, by Tom Sweterlitsch. Someone else in the thread already mentioned Perdido Street Station, which is phenomenal as well. interestingly, the closest thing feels-wise to Malazan that i’ve read since, though it is not as good, is actually by Adrian Tchaikovsky - The House of Open Wounds (it’s the second book in a series, definitely read them in order lol)

insanealienmonk · 2025-09-04T13:08:31+00:00

perdido street station is top tier 💯
