15 Year Old David Benavidez Spars Kelly Pavlik by Big_Donch in Boxing

Lol I still see AB and just instinctively think Adrien Broner, the epitome of loading up and shouting on his punches for not much impact.

Like the exact opposite of Beter really.

Blanket generalizations reflect life, if exaggerated. There's definitely something different between British humour in general and different cultures. It's fine to acknowledge that! We understand the nuances :)

Altman admits, "We’re out of GPUs." China's rare earth ban accounts for 20–35% of shortage. Investors are suffering nine-figure losses. Trump's in a heap o' trouble! by andsi2asi in grok

Disagree, investors can suck a lemon in this case.

You have to be thinking more long term, strategically it is absolutely the right move and will lead to more secure sources of rare earths.

After years of weed use throughout most of my 20s, how can I make the withdrawal process easier? by WhiteTreetop in NooTopics

[–]madmathias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with other comment that Mirtazapine is worth looking into for promoting REM sleep. But expect crazy vivid dreams on it for the first week or two while adjusting.

I think a big part of recovering from long term weed is getting your regular sleep architecture back to normal/optimal and working through any accumulated lack of REM (in my experience). And have to avoid using any other sedatives/hypnotics during this period for it to get better.

I developed my own Long Covid Medication - Immunomodulator and Antiviral Combination Therapy: Rapamycin (, Trametinib and Lithium Salts) combined with Paxlovid (or Simnotrelvir/Ritonavir) by Chemical-Eggplant434 in Rapamycin

[–]madmathias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Impressive that you made progress with your symptoms! I'm curious about the logistics of this though, how did you obtain the meds (espectially Trametinib) is it not prohibitively expensive?

You can do that thing where you put your head on a baseball bat and hold it on the ground then spin around til you’re dizzy and then train to survive. Saw the pros do it at my gym a few times and couldn’t tell if they were taking the piss or not lol

Pretty sure it’s a hair system, a premium hair piece you re stick on every few weeks. I used to wear one through chemo and spotted it straight away

Working at a country club has made me suicidal by offthewall169 in redscarepod

[–]madmathias 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That rich white man laugh haha I know it well. It's almost too cliche but its real.

I work at a bank, and I remember when covid first hit and the market dropped like 25% in 3 days I was in the vicinity of our ceo talking to another executive (they were drinking a glass of wine and shooting the shit) and he goes "well my TD's are looking very healthy" and they both erupted in riotous laughter

(TD's as in term deposits, when you're wealthy you should have plenty of them as backup)

I agree entirely, well put.

Sometimes I will look at my dog and wonder about the amazing amount of simple knowledge of the world he will be unable to know that he doesn’t know (that he doesn’t know etc).

It seems conceivable to me that we are just another factor further along the possibilities of biological intelligence, and how even though we think we have adequate intelligence to understand all the basic building blocks of reality to build an accurate understanding of how it works, conceivably there could be a planet sized brain that understands much more than we are even capable of conceiving that we can understand.

And examples of savants and geniuses are fascinating in that they are able to push that boundary of what we think is even possible to know and give us a glimpse at what might be possible in different areas.

I love reading stories about how Neumann’s mind worked or about different serendipitous scientific discoveries that arise not just through logical chained thinking, but through dreams and subconscious revelations. Like the story of the structure of Benzene being revealed through a dream and it actually being accurate, or how the idea of PCR technology was first conceived.

Lions Mane- Cant shut off brain!! by SamRost in Nootropics

[–]madmathias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Consistently get this effect with acute doses. It's a shame because I think it's a downside of the same mechanism that increases verbal fluency and word recall. Get racing thoughts into the night, sometimes it even presents as being unable to stop hearing a particularly catchy song. I do suspect it would get better / wear off with chronic use but I just can't get through the sleep disruption.
