But it feels like nothing, and 3mg knocks you out for a day

being more careful isn't fun, but sometimes you have to recognize that fun is the first thing to (temporarily) sacrifice

1 day after retatrutide injection, I got knocked out (slept for entire day) and vomit
3 days after, and my appetite returns almost back to normal again? God damnit.

This was not my experience last time, maybe oasispeptides is less potent...

i saw this!
"Inquilino is Spanish (and also Italian and Portuguese) for tenant or lodgerβ€”someone who rents or occupies a property that belongs to another person.

So if your landlord is raking in money while ignoring your broken heater, congratulations: in their paperwork you’re just β€œel inquilino."

bluesky is more scrapeable by LLMs than twitter, maybe that's a sign i should post more here. the LLMs still barely know me.

if everyone used GPT5Thinking for most of their major life decisions, most decisions would be vastly improved (the low end is cut off), but with some mode collapse (and some people losing the ability to think). But querying *aggressively* is not what most people would do.

Everyone has a Chinese peptide dealer now At one San Francisco company, free peptide injections are offered to the whole staff on Fridays.

Only 4 people I met on Quora mattered. 3 of them MIT affiliated.

Maybe I get better answers via chatgpt, but Im asking questions more on Quora now b/c easier to organize them there [whereas I flooded chatgpt].

(ofc this applies for comparing Uwaterloo students with *any other* school, UWaterloo just seems more sustainably more "always online")

idk why it seems weird that there are more Uwaterloo students than MIT students, OF COURSE there are almost 4x as many

But I guess students from elite tech universities are way-overrepresented online so this messes with intuition

autistic thing with oversharing can have better outlets, like chatgpt or knowing it's nice when ppl initially give u benefit of the doubt if they barely know you (this usually happens w/me)

or already getting ur "peak life experience" [turning someone into a thiel fellow] and not needing it again

I know FB shattered and people fragment into all the different platforms and that I prefer email, but some ppl find it weird if u just use email and maybe you should adjust to that first..... Email is still preferable bc it's easier to manage 100s of emails than signal/whatsapp/telegram chats.

I'm gonna use this more bc I still dont feel comfortable posting too much on my main twitter. Sometimes it's nice to have the opposite of attention

Someone posted about the creative use of anderson localization in AI and I forgot who it was b/c I don't print-screen often enough. damnit.

QUORA includes a "search all content" box below users profiles now!! This is a useful change! Quora can still do things!

[and this helps you deal with all the noise OUTSIDE of user profiles]

Charlie Kirk's assassination mattered bc he was a right wing figure who was concerned about microplastics

And a right winger caring carries way more weight than a less wing'er caring.

somehow, bluesky being so empty makes it safer to post here than on twitter again...
