I meant the Thiel component. Wow this is great though, now that Elon Musk is the foremost expert on mental health and said he's heard good things about using mushrooms and that medications prescribed by physicians are bad, it gives people a chance to get well AND for a billionaire to profit

I can't help but be cynical and believe it's to further criminalize more drugs by putting them out of reach for the masses. Peter Thiel is a literal eugenics and transhumanism advocate. Nothing good will come from him touching drugs, especially when the last war on drugs made up by billionaires made it easier to terrorize minorites.

It's esketamine, only half the ketamine molecule. From a lazy glance, they split the molecule so they could patent esketamine, because ketamine is well into generic age territory. I'm not particularly a fan of pharmaceuticals, and have even less trust when it comes to brain meds. I realize some people need to be thorazined out and they genuinely can be helpful, but not for the mass market, that's just a profit grab. I might need to poke around and see if I can find some shrooms. Aside from the first time, whenever I've eaten shrooms, it's been pleasantly introspective. Been over a decade since the last time I bought a bag.

Platystemon posted:I do not like this administration’s plan. They're really not wrong. The general strategy basically has to be prepping a government-funded mass vaccination plan because everything else is too public opinion-hosed. Government didn't declare COVID to be over just because - that's what people want as they've stopped listening. And Congress isn't ponying up the federal funding because Republicans are embracing the death cult. And there are a shitload of "TBD"s because we don't know the success rate of omicron-formulated vaccines yet, or if future omicron variants are going to be vaccine-preventable versus vaccine-treatable. Dave Weigel of WaPo probably got it right - the administration is hosed no matter they do. One extreme is screaming that masks are the death of the republic, the other extreme is screaming that the dropping of mask mandates is forcing euthanasia on the immunocompromised. poo poo's hosed and we all suck.

Not sure I 100% buy Dr. Jha's analysis there - he's got some valid points but it looks like there's some statistical cherry-picking that overstates his case. DIVOC-19 has a monthly CFR visualization which averages fatalities/case numbers for the past 30 day window based on JHU data, shown below. It's not a 100% match to Dr. Jha's analysis of daily fatalities/daily case numbers 21 days ago, but if you look at the U.S. Northeast today it comes out to monthly CFR of 0.306% for the Northeast, which looks to be right on the money for Dr. Jha's statements. However, if you do the same analysis 45 days ago the Northeast has CFR numbers of ~2.0% during the Omicron wave.  The U.S. South has also consistently done the worst over the past year in terms of CFR, although the West and Midwest have been close or matching in several waves. The big exception is the Delta wave last Fall, where the South did much worse than the rest of the country in CFR metrics. That may be partially indicative of the better overall protection the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines gave against Delta vs Omicron, although when normalized by population the South and Midwest had similar vaccination uptake at that time, so there may be other factors involved.  When you look at cumulative CFR though you mostly see a convergence across all regions to ~1.0-1.4%. with a noticable downtick during the Omicron surge. This is pretty much in line with the CFR estimates of ~1.0-1.5% throughout the bulk of the pandemic.  There is a noticeable downtick during the Omicron surge, although not as big as you might expect given the huge case numbers posted if Omicron was truly 'mild'. It does seem in line with recent reports that Omicron is/was just as severe as prior variants but the current vaccines provide limited protection to hospitalization and death. Also, the high prior CFR in the Northeast looks to be a lingering holdover of how hard they were initially hit in the 2020 waves. Not a medical expert, but my general layman's observations: - CFR rates do seem to significantly go down below the average in between waves - this may be because hospitals have more resources and at-risk people are less likely to be exposed - During waves the CFR rates go back up above the average, and even in highly vaccinated areas hit 1.0-2.0% or higher. Delta may have been successfully kept lower due to vaccination, but Omicron was still able to hit higher CFR levels even when normalized against case numbers - Vaccination rates do seem to have some affect in the past two waves, particularly in comparing the Northeast and West to the South and Midwest. Both regions still had significant upticks in CFR rates during Omicron though, which is worrying in light of further variants. It supports the need for new vaccine formulations, but that presents the difficulty in having to mass revaccinate the population to maintain even limited control of CFR rates going forward. - Dr. Jha has valid points on what regions seem to be implementing better policies, but it's unrealistic to expect that the Northeast or country at large will maintain 0.3% CFR rates into the next wave. We're about ~5 weeks in but still on the initial ramp-up phase, the 4-6 weeks should show if things accelerate as they have in the past or if we're finally at some form of herd immunity that limits the size of the peak. A very big wave will likely still have a significant CFR rate if the Omicron wave is used as a comparison. So anyways, I'll have a Dave's Double and fries, thanks.

It’s things like this that make me feel a little less crazy about trying to low-key coax my more middle-of-the-road liberal friends that whatever their personal feelings regarding firearms ownership may be, they had better get acquainted with the concepts of either making holes or plugging holes. Today’s right wing has dropped the mask and eventually they’ll be coming for anyone they see as a threat, and they have everyone else significantly outgunned. Even if I can’t get anyone to bite on a “I’ll pay for your ammo” range day, I wish they’d at least be interested in having a talk about personal security or teach them how to apply a tourniquet.

TFR is by far the best gun forum on the net and everyone there is super chill. Running out gtab and the other weirdo right wingers turned it into an awesome, pretty left leaning, LGBTQ+ friendly board for firearms enthusiasts. Next to this thread, the coldwar/airpower thread there is the second best place to discuss Land War In Eurasia 2022 Edition. Also the "racism in the firearms industry" thread is a great place to figure out which brands want to suck and gently caress hitler and the tacticlol thread is a goldmine for seeing/posting the most ridiculous gun dipshittery in the western hemisphere.

I think we often over credit the willingness of the right to take up arms, it took lots of work to get them whipped up for the 6th. I don't think the right would be able to control, let alone direct/aim, their angry mob effectively in this scenario. That being said, every scenario he just wrote will come true. The legal issues that this will cause will go on forever. Hopefully we don't resort to full on civil war, I don't want to have to move/become a freedom fighter.

I love me some doom, and agree that doom is coming, but I doubt gently caress-all comes of it. Most people would rather succumb to complacency than fight their neighbors or take shots at cops. Kinda feel like we're not nearly in dire enough straits for a civil war of any size or variety. I'm sure there will be right wingers committing terrorist attacks on women's health clinics, school boards, mosques and jewish temples, though.

I think you're going to end up with it just being a normal thing that certain people based on either looks or "type" get hosed up (even moreso) by local police and in particular states just start disappearing. I imagine that will just ramp up until enough people have accepted it that a big push to just go ahead and "finish the job" looks more like an obvious conclusion rather than some new horrible event. Basically, lynching is going to be normalized. It was in the past, no reason to expect it won't be again given the people involved and what they are saying / doing in 2022.
