lol the DEA would never allow this to happen. I was just saying somewhere about the amp shortages that it really is baffling that anything that'd improve productivity would be prohibited instead of mandatory
At prescribed doses, it helps people with ADHD. For people with normal brain function (whatever that means), it's just taking amphetamines that haven't been cut with random poo poo and causes the opposite effect.

Can we connect some portals to places that aren't full of white people or are the Americans afraid they might come in through the portal?
We had one at an old job that was in a shipping container, and we got to talk with people in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It was pretty cool to talk with people halfway around the world and talk about our hobbies, what's in the news, pretty much small talk but across continents.

yeah, not disagreeing with you. I was just pointing out that making an extraordinary claim without something to back it up, and then calling the skeptics shills/trolls/etc, does not make for a very persuasive argument.

I think the idea is that claims for which there is substantial evidence aren’t extraordinary. they’re just…repeating the current state of knowledge

the followup joke is that the profiles have lives based off of the apps executives' idea of peoples' lives and spare time so sapient beings are dying for the sake of matching up two people who have neither the time, low stress, or wealth to connect at all

Yes, it's the same as every conspiracy theory having roots in whatever was part of popular culture at the time it sprouted. It's very easy for an unsettling percentage of people to confuse fantasy with reality, and some of those people are part of the founder class.

Every few weeks I remember that engineer from Google (I think?) who talked to the chat bot for twenty minutes, saw it barf out "yes I'm am, Alive I love too being be alive real, yeas," and immediately wrote an op ed about it in a sweating panic before losing his job and getting disavowed by every coworker as an idiot crank.

I swear to God the only people who think nu-SmarterChild is a sentient and feeling entity are unsocialized STEM incels who already have no loving clue what a human interaction is supposed to feel like. I think the guy reappeared months later somewhere else and said some other extremely insane thing, possibly about like keeping women as pets or not allowing them in the workplace or some poo poo.
