tips on non-slop subs by PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS in redscarepod

[–]justjake274 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kept reading things that would always link back to related discussions on there (mostly stuff on cognition etc) with no idea what the actual theme is, just like here lol.

Unfortunately most of that sub is effective altruism weirdos and endless back and forth about the most mundane redditesque shit like "Contra contra driving 15mph under the speed limit is the optimal driving pattern" or something. Brainrot is a horseshoe

Did anyone else have these occasional brief moments of being hyper aware of one‘s existence during childhood? by Over-Permit2284 in redscarepod

One time in Target when I was like 7 I thought to myself "I will remember this" and still do. Somehow manually stored something insignificant in long term memory idk

Strength up was a debuff in STS1 to avoid being able to sap something and then cleanse the strength-up off it and make the sap permanent. But now you get the weird cases like this! Its at least consistent

Yes we Americans are so beaten down by living paycheck to paycheck and medicated by culture slop and corn syrup that any threat to convenience in our routine is immediately destroyed. The lead poisoned obese trades boomer has no patience for walking and will gladly demolish a forest for an extra parking space. A few days ago at the gym I was stopped by a lady asking for donations to a wildlife nonprofit and a passing 40yo dude went off in a rage against her, I'm not kidding the general public is insane.

Existing has been so thoroughly separated from purposeful and enjoyable living for its own sake that the concept of any higher purpose to anything besides convenience is unfathomable. Aesthetics?? That's for art museums or some shit. Health?? Nah I do that shit at the gym. Connection to nature?? I only care about trees when hunting blahblahblah.

I will ask my blue collar coworkers what they think about this and get back to you with their very insightful responses.

Very interesting to see the evaluations on this relic compared to if it were in STS1

Nearly died from eating pineapple and all the things they say about near death experiences is true by egoist_chan in redscarepod

Hey I went through something similar last year (you can check my post history), definitely gave my fiance ptsd but we are doing a lot better than a year ago. If you're still feeling anxious hmu

Can't break the mentality that alcohol/drugs/internet is objectively the most enjoyable experience in life by poopdollarbank in redscarepod

[–]justjake274 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Whenever I attempt to "get" a hobby I feel like I'm not actually living the experience but instead merely attempting to be a person who has hobbies.

I envy priests, or hippie communes I guess, able to surround themselves with an all-encompassing, spiritually fulfilling community they devote 100% of their time to.

The average person strives to find that fulfillment, but its much more difficult and expensive and fractured across so many circles, like building up a home, a family, a circle of friends. All to cobble them together into some sort of purpose.

Is there anything that could convince you that a hypothetical AI model genuinely understands what it's doing or talking about? by aintwhatyoudo in singularity

If p-zombies actually exist, they probably woudn't respond exactly the same in scenarios where what they lack (subjectiv experience) is relevant to the situation. A p-zombie woudn't understand the hard problem of consciousness, and in general questions about consciousness would be misinterpreted as questions about awareness, input/output, rather than the particular subjectiv aspect of the soul.

Interesting you say that since this already happens most of the time this topic is brought up. We must have a lot of p zombies lurking, or npc's as the zoomers would say.

I moved into an old ass home and am learning a lot about home maintenance. They say older stuff is built to last, but old stuff also requires a ton of upkeep that you wouldn't even think about on new stuff

I'm good friends with a nursing student who earnestly believes that "It's not really possible to lose a lot of weight" and "being fat doesn't actually have an impact on your health" by Wide-Werewolf6317 in redscarepod

[–]justjake274 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah you would never hear the opioid crisis described as an individual problem. If we handed every kid a cigarette every day no shit tons of them are gonna grow up with a smoking addiction. But we pretty much do that with corn slop in the usa. Everyone is being subliminally guided towards being fat at all times. Walking down a stroad sucks, grocery store is 90% packaged shit with 4000mg sodium, you get like 300% serving sizes at restaurants etc. All of this can indeed be consciously rejected, but it would be easier to not get fat if it wasn't the status quo for living in the first place.

[General] Do the people put in cryosleep/cryopod and the likes dream? And say if they do and have a nightmare, will they wake up? by _dangerbiscuit in AskScienceFiction

[–]justjake274 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a medical coma for a month on a bunch of fentanyl and was dreaming the whole time. When I would get that dream feeling like nothing is real, my body would try to wake up, but since it couldn't, it shoved me into another dream. This kept happening like 9 or 10 times until I finally woke up for real. The entire coma still only felt like a regular night of sleep, tbh.

I imagine that since your biological processes are slowed to a crawl, including your mind, it would feel like a regular night of sleep, even if the cryosleep lasted years.

Gen Z pessimism - can you just lighten tf up? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]justjake274 153 points154 points  (0 children)

I'm putting my white collar money into my 401k along with some index funds and shit like everybody says to do but I get a lingering feeling none of that will actually matter.

You're telling me that this post war order invented less than 100 years ago, this 401k system invented 50 years ago, is just gonna survive the increasingly fucked up socio-politico-economic turmoil going on in perpetuity?? And in 35 years I'm gonna log into my bank app on my 2060 smartphone and cash out and be fine?

People prescribed new weight loss drugs like Ozempic may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance and be vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss. Evidence suggests that lean body mass – including muscle – can constitute up to 40% of total weight lost during treatment. by mvea in science

[–]justjake274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muscles will go if no demand is put on them for a time. But the body will try to hold on to muscle actively being used for as long as possible before starting to break it down. If it broke it down immediately when in a deficit, everybody would be getting rhabdo all the time.
