@FraudWatch11 @Thorin Your example doesn’t even align with your point idiot, chess has 0 correlation with your reaction speed/hand eye coordination unless you’re playing speed chess. Please inform me as to why eastern teams dominate the west in MOBAS and RTS games

I'm so bored of people endlessly repeating "there is no biological component to competing in video games so there are no genetic advantages."
It's the woke religious dogma of esports. Not only is it not even vaguely true, as experience and observation show, but it's based simply on people's feelings and what they wish was the case.

@vauntedrevelrie @attamayte1 Do you not believe in any variation or difference between individuals. What about genetic predisposition to cancer? Is it such a stretch to assume the brain could be similar?
English
@attamayte1 That sounds great, but it's a dangerous road. The next thing we know, we'll be talking about God's favored peoples and eugenics.

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

@davepl1968 @InsularEntropy Absolutely there are many people who have gotten it from normal doses

@InsularEntropy Rush Limbaugh went deaf from opiates (or so I'm told). Drug abuse takes a toll on the body and brain.
What I'd like to know is if there's a risk of akathisia from benzos when USED AS DIRECTED.
Abilify, for example, lists it as a side effect.
English
Jordan Peterson ended up with tardive akathisia from benzodiazepines.
As someone who has experienced this firsthand, it’s deadly.
I have no patience for people who downplay the risks.
You will not receive appropriate help for this condition even if you are well connected.

@sanandrios @DanielP1973235 @bad_takes Not even close to true within a year(or less) any medically viable dose will cause dependence
English
@DanielP1973235 @bad_takes give me a break. benzos are fine unless you're taking an insane amount daily. don't blame your irresponsibility on doctors.

is there any chance that the “psych med induced neurological injury” was caused by taking him to russia so he can cold turkey benzos while in a medically induced coma? Or are you gonna run with “mold did this” forever
Mikhaila Peterson@MikhailaFuller
We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia. It’s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It’s been horrible. Neurological injuries from psych meds are far more common than people know. I made this video to explain what they are and what akathisia is because they’re not talked about enough, they’re misdiagnosed, nearly impossible to treat, and hidden by the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t plan on making another update about my dad, it stresses my family out, and myself, and there’s nothing more to say about it until things get better. I will be jumping up and down about psych med injury awareness from now on as it’s impacted my health as well, and is devastating. Prayers are appreciated still.

the Gen Z stare is one of the most misunderstood phenomenons. it's because, in order to notice it, you have to be making a mistake and unaware that you are.
gen Z stare happens in response to fakeness. that's it. nothing more to it. fakeness is what you call normal. "hi how are you" without sincerity is just strange -- have you ever sat back one day and thought about that?
or when you walk in a shop and expect the person to put up a fake smile, signal emotions which they aren't actually feeling, and greet you according to a script instead of how they actually feel. do you think that is ok. do you, the person insisting for it, not consider that it's inhuman? gen Z recoils at this fakeness and is the first real generation this country has had in a century. you're witnessing their resistance to your fakeness, and your insistence to it.
... and you aren't even aware you're doing it. you are so helplessly unaware that you believe something is wrong with them instead. it's ironic that you call gen Z disturbing; it's you who disturbs.
English
I've read about this Gen Z stare and up til now, I'd never encountered it. That was until today. I walked into a local take out shop. 2 cash registers, 2 people ready to take your order. The first girl was busy with customers, so I look at the girl at the 2nd cash. She just stares at me. Her face never moved, she didn't blink, she just stared at me like I was invisible. It was like she didn't know how to acknowledge or give basic social cues. I'm looking at her thinking, usually people behind the counter say hello first as a cue to advance to their wicket. She just stared at me!
So I ask: Hi, do you want to take my order?
Her: Sure.
That's all she initially said.
Honestly it was the oddest thing I've ever encountered, it was like she was on auto pilot. Once I started speaking to her, it was like her batteries kicked in and then she smiled became friendly.
Has anyone else ever encountered that stare?

@ArcheVult @FelixCLC_ nah @ArcheVult, it's not your job to do someone's else job if there's more work to be done, articulate to your manager to hire more people, or pay someone else more for their extra time, if you're not getting paid more you're slaving away, it's that simple.

@ArcanineXBT @FelixCLC_ Invariably everyone I know that says this shit causes more work for everyone else and often makes everyone's jobs harder. Its not wage slave to have pride in your work and pride in being helpful to your team.

@stingy_brim @creepydotorg Perhaps but there's is also something so undignified and cruel about replaying someone's horrible final moments on repeat as some sick voyeuristic experience for the masses.
English
In 2005, filmmaker Werner Herzog became one of the only people to listen to the audio recording of Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard’s final moments while making Grizzly Man.
After hearing it, he told Treadwell’s friend, Jewel Palovak, “You must never listen to this…”
