Howard Lotsof was 19 years old and addicted to heroin when he took ibogaine in 1962 for fun.
He came down 36 hours later with no withdrawal symptoms and no craving for heroin.
He tried it on six addicted friends.
Five of them had 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁.
He spent the next 48 years trying to get it approved as medicine. He died in 2010, still waiting.
His early data has since been replicated. It is now considered the most promising addiction treatment ever discovered.

@99_opinions @BlackDumpling Focused on her and the black dude with his own ship. Was boring as hell.

@BlackDumpling He was the ONLY good thing, but the woke retards wanted to focus the show on a black female, even though she was a horrible actor.

STAR TREK: The great tragedy of Discovery is knowing that this single character could've carried the entire show through several seasons at least.
If he were an "evil" Picard but extraordinarily sly about it, where the audience knew he was a malevolent actor but the crew being wholly unawares.
And that going on for years as we watch his schemes unfold and see that he's both ruthlessly competent but fiercely devoted to humanity. A kind of In the Pale Moonlight as a series long arc.
It'd be difficult to pull off and it's clear none of the Discovery writers had the chops... but I'm telling you a seed was there.

@it_unprofession Worked 8 years in Deloitte consulting. Whole point is so your CEO has justification to take action, and if it fails, blame the “outside experts” and the young consultants in their 20s. Transformation projects are hard to do in house as you guys still have your day to day roles.

We hired a consulting firm to tell us why our profits are down.
They sent three 24-year-olds wearing vests.
They spent two months interviewing us about our own jobs.
Then they put our answers into a PowerPoint presentation.
They charged us $250K for this privilege.
During the final readout, one of them used the phrase synergy optimization without blinking.
I looked around the conference room.
Our CEO was nodding like he just received the Ten Commandments.
The grand conclusion was that we need to increase revenue and decrease costs.
I could've told them that for a gift card to Panera.
But nobody listens to the guy who works here.
You only listen to the guy who flies in on a Tuesday.
I'm updating my resume to include synergy optimization.
It feels like the right move.

@arnavut_ayhan @mamboitaliano__ Where you there? Source to your claim?

Stop distorting history with lies! In Islam, there is no such thing as forcing people to convert to Islam or killing those who refuse; on the contrary, Islam prohibits this. Contrary to your claim, Islam states: "Your religion is yours, my religion is mine."
These 800 people were executed not because they refused to convert to Islam, but because they continued to fight and cause casualties even after the city was conquered. This is how wars were fought in the past. If you try to frame this issue through religion, I could also tell you about the dozens of massacres committed by Crusader armies in Anatolia and Mesopotamia throughout history.
If, as you claim, the Ottoman Empire had forced everyone to convert to Islam and killed those who refused wherever it went, not a single Christian would remain in the Balkans, where it ruled for over 500 years. Nevertheless, millions of Christians continue to live in the Balkans both during the Ottoman period and today.
The Ottoman Empire governed Greece and the Balkans for 500 years without destroying a single church; most of these churches still stand today.
Additionally, the Latin attacks and sack of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire at the time, are still remembered. Even the famous saying attributed to the Byzantines, "I would rather see a Turkish turban than a Latin crown in Constantinople," is clear evidence of who was considered more barbaric.

@BenjaminDEKR This requires a high trust society. It’s already in place in various spots in Asia. Won’t work in America because of the usual suspects.

@ScottPresler Ignore Fetterman’s theatrics on tv. He says a lot of middle ground things but you need to look at his voting record. I believe he sides with the Dems on a large % of votes.

@LegionHoops @LALMuse I just don’t see this team getting past rnd 2

Marcus Smart says he takes pride in being a locker room leader for the Lakers:
“LeBron and Luka don’t really talk as much, they be locked in. Deandre Ayton’s my guy, he’s kind of all over the place, so I regulate that and make sure everyone else is good.”

@screenrant He’s no Kevin Costner. I’d watch any movie or show Costner is in because his name alone lets me know he’ll carry the show.

@mattvanswol I tell myself friendship is not meant to be forever. They were my friends up to that point in my life, but as people change friendships will change too.
Got tired of them sharing posts from /r/politics and /r/law that’s borderline left wing extremism. They see it as “facts”.

@Tablesalt13 Look at the UK. They’ll start entering local and federal politics and then it’s good luck

🚨 OMG. Democrat Rep. Meeks just tried to angrily SUBPOENA Sec. Marco Rubio because he’s upset about not having “answers” about the Iran war…
…but he was IMMEDIATELY exposed for ROUTINELY SKIPPING his classified intel briefings, which would give him the answers he’s demanding from Rubio! 🤦♂️
REP. BRIAN MAST: “Attend them on time, maybe consider SHOWING UP!” 😂
“Hopefully we don’t see any more excuses as to why you don’t show up to classified briefings!”
Meeks is FURIOUS, Marco wins and he got exposed!

@mermaidgirl10 @joeroganhq They hear only what they want to hear. They will absorb all anti Trump news even if the source is questionable. I know people like this in my circle and it’s tiring

@joeroganhq How can so many dissenters not be aware that it's built with private funds?

@thetoyman1 @TheFive @JessicaTarlov @JesseBWatters @greggutfeld I only watch when @HaroldFordJr is on. When it’s Jessica I turn it off
English

The screaming going on the @TheFive is no longer “cute” it’s TURN THE CHANNEL when @JessicaTarlov is on. She spews Democratic talking points that a 3rd grader could debunk! @JesseBWatters @greggutfeld verbally slap her daily. But it’s no longer fun to watch.

@aisauce_x @WallStreetMav Can’t wait to never see slop like you again

@WallStreetMav X needed Indian creators to fill timelines, drive engagement and justify advertiser eyeballs.
Got all of that. Then introduced a geography filter on the payout. The product worked exactly as designed — for one side of the transaction. 💅

Nikita Bier just announced that X ad revenue sharing will be based on your home country or region.
10,000 monetized X accounts in India, Pakistan and Nigeria just lost their entire income.




Nikita Bier@nikitabier
Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.
