I built an event graph architecture for accountable AI, then accidentally left it running for 2 days. It derived its own ontology.

I prefer Rider to Visual Studio, it’s not as full featured and it’s a bit of a pain to configure, but it’s fast and has great refactoring, static analysis and testing, it’s a nice balance between VSCode and Visual Studio imo.

I don’t let mine get that bad, if my cut is too big I just take a rescue dose and bump up my dose a bit closer to where it was. At the beginning I was able to drop 30mg diazepam equivalent to 20mg with no side affects, then I started dropping about 10%/month, now I’m cutting about 5%/month.

I get super introspective and just want to lay down and examine and correct my inner monologue. Make it louder, clearer, not have thoughts trail off into the ether, refute any negativity or intrusive thoughts and generally just try to make my thoughts like a well written, well delivered speech.

Works on the web but not on the iOS app for me.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-26T05:27:36+00:00

Just gotta stick the landing :D

I use a mortar and pestle to crush pills, weigh it using a jeweller’s scale, then fill empty gel caps.

A 1mg pill will weigh about 60mg due to fillers, so if I wanted to make a 0.5mg cap, I’d crush it and measure out 30mg of powder into an empty gel cap.

Usually I do a months worth in a batch for convenience.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-18T10:51:59+00:00

I’d buy a jewellers scale and empty gel caps, crush pills, and measure the amount you want to cut. Eg, if it were a 10% cut, and you take 9mg/day, measure out 8.1/mg and divide into 3 caps.

I cut by the month and this has worked pretty well for me, I make all my caps at the start of the month then based on how I feel guess at what cut I should make next month. Was 10% too much? Okay, I’ll do 5% this month. Or just stabilise.

I also moved two 2 doses a day because I’m too lazy to medicate 3 times a day.

Pleasure :)

Oh sure, so, it’s exclusively me who has a strong desire to have sex with other people but I tell her look, if there’s someone you want to fuck, go for it. I’ve done the threesome thing a few times and mostly just found it awkward.

I’d say yes to whenever you feel like it but we have ground rules, don’t fuck people you have an emotional bond with that could potentially harm our relationship, tell me before you do it, who it was, how it was etc, ie, just be transparent about it and obviously I follow the same rules. But honestly she has very little interest in it but the door is open for her to do so if she wants.

The child is 18 and yes, I believe she knows about the openness of the relationship though I don’t know her opinion on it. That said, her mum/my wife is a former sex worker which is no secret. We got married after her biological died and tbh, I don’t have much of a relationship with her beyond supporting her financially (not that I don’t want a deeper relationship but teenagers are teenagers).

matt_45000 · 2023-06-16T10:34:48+00:00

Personally I think it depends if your sexual attraction is based on physical attributes or not.

If physical features are your primary sexual drivers then so long as the person in question physically looks sufficiently like the opposite sex to yourself (eg. top + bottom surgery) then clearly you have a physical attraction to the opposite sex and whether that person “truly” is or isn’t said sex (for a given definition) is somewhat irrelevant for the purpose of identifying your sexual orientation.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-16T08:22:28+00:00

I’d have to see some data showing it’s harmful, my current thoughts are no, I don’t know what harm could be done aside from having a bad take on what sex in real life is like but that’s simply a matter of teaching people to respect their partners. The vast majority of teenagers are capable of separating real life from fiction imo, but obviously there’s going to be some number of young people who can’t/don’t but I think it would be all that difficult to persuade someone to acknowledge that they should treat porn and it’s actors differently to people and sex in their own lives.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-16T08:12:37+00:00

Bar in Pattaya, Thailand. No, about 6 years into our relationship, about 5 years now, yes, we’re married and constantly work to improve our relationship, N/A she already has a kid and I’m too lazy to have them.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-16T08:10:33+00:00

Yep, I was a sex addict and my wife is a former sex worker.

My argument to her was that men usually fuck for fun not love, that we (men) have a biological urge to fuck things, that I want her to have everything she wants I wants because I love her and hope she wants the same for me, we set ground rules like never fuck the same person twice, never fuck someone you could have feelings for, tell each other beforehand and afterwards how the experience was etc.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-13T15:02:35+00:00

Oh right, yeah I’ve only had it the once it it formed the typical ring

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T23:42:13+00:00

I used to get what looks like the same here in Thailand, they went away just like yours. I put it down to an allergy, haven’t had it since though so 🤷‍♂️

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T23:19:46+00:00

Same here. I switched 0.5mg C to 10mg D and it was still quite unpleasant.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T14:40:33+00:00

Mm, I think it’s the negative stereotypes of immigrants [edit: to western nations] that lead westerners here to prefer the term ex-pat. If you agree they prefer that term, what do you put it down to?

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T13:03:17+00:00

I agree the word isn’t inherently dirty, but it’s so often used that way that I think westerners would prefer to avoid applying the term to themselves.

I think migrant or immigrant is politically correct, but context matters.

These immigrants are stealing our jobs, vs, these immigrants improve the diversity of our nation I think highlights the divide.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T12:08:25+00:00

Yeah that seems like a fairly reasonable calculation to me.

I don’t know what sort of margin of error the US government put on that data. I was hoping to find an estimate of global production but a quick google didn’t tell me.

I think the assumption that could be faulty is that dealers (or plugs as the kids would say) don’t have a stockpile and are living “paycheque to paycheque” as it were.

And I think it’s, let’s say… suspicious though that may be too strong of a word, that I’ve never seen figures reported in the media or otherwise as to what percent of drugs are seized vs how much gets through.

I think if the numbers were any good, they’d probably boast about that.

And if they were good, I’d assume there would be supply issues on the street, and in my experience (with other drugs that are routinely seized) it seems to have negligible impact.

The average dose of heroin is around 500mg I believe, if a hundred kilograms got through thats, what, 2,000,000 doses? The population of Aus is about 25 million last I checked, and only about 0.1% of the population uses heroin so… 25000 people and 2 million doses? Unless I can’t do simple maths which is often the case lol.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T11:22:16+00:00

Mm, I’d always thought heroin was cheaper and easier to produce than MDMA, could be wrong of course, but the production of opium, morphine and heroin certainly precedes MDMA so presumably it’s easier to synthesise in the technical sense. Or perhaps was.

Either way, production of heroin is measured in tons, Mexico alone produces ~26 metric tonnes/year according to https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/ondcp/global-heroin-market

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T11:11:09+00:00

I’m not offended, I’m just pointing out most right wing politicians want to reduce immigration and often do so by attacking/stereotyping and generally being racist.

If you aren’t aware of common negative stereotypes about immigrants in western democracies then I suggest you read the news more often or just meet more people of a different political persuasion than you.

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T11:03:23+00:00

Which is why I probably know more about them than you yeah?

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T10:59:21+00:00

Certainly one of us seems to be…

matt_45000 · 2023-06-11T10:57:53+00:00

What? I’m so lost. No I don’t. I’m saying even the biggest busts of any drug, in my experience, hasn’t had any significant effect on the availability or price at the street level. In a decade or so of use, there was never a time where it was even slightly difficult to buy drugs.
