I was a nightly weed user and moved to Japan in February.

I quit 6 months before making the move, so there would be absolutely zero chance of testing positive on any potential drug tests here.

If I’m being honest, I miss it. But not enough to want to move back to the states.

    Article is paywalled (account walled?) so I can’t read the whole thing because I’m not making an account to read one article.

    But I think it’s reckless to dismiss all “AI doomsaying” as advertising / hype for AI companies. SOME of it is absolutely that. Some of it is real concern from experts that should not be ignored.

    Millennial here, from an extremely Protestant Christian conservative family, fighting the good fight. I vow to continue not mutilating my children’s genitalia for as many as I can afford to have.

    Just kidding. We can’t afford any more.

    There’s not really one instant where a new star goes from not shining to shining where a human looking up at night would see a star “turn on.” The process of turning on takes between 10,000 - 1,000,000 years, depending on the size of the star and how many stages you include in the process.

    UFOs are real, and non human intelligence is here with us on earth, but those are both distractions from the much more consequential secrets: spacetime, and everything that exists within it, is a product of consciousness. Our consciousness continues after death. Telepathy, telekinesis, remote viewing, and precognition are possible. Human science is controlled and new discoveries in public academia are suppressed to prevent us from learning the truth.
