The fastest way to know if someone has insufferable main character syndrome is when they value anecdotal experience over cold hard facts

@Tyler_Did_It All it tells me is this guy has the softest life and i am embarassed he said that out loud

We have to be near the bottom of alcohol sentiment Having a few glasses of good wine with friends is one of the finer pleasures in life If it ruins your life for 3 days, that’s a you problem

@c_mami Just ask me to make you a spotify playlist you dont have to play games its toxic

Romance died when people stopped burning cds for one another

@punk9059 Its just another form of purity culture destroying actual culture and i hate it

I'm pretty biased on this whole "drinking any alcohol is awful" movement...... because I'm pretty sure if it weren't for alcohol I wouldn't be married. Gave both me and my wife the courage needed back when we first met in 2011. Now have 3 kids, married 10+ years, couldn't be happier. I've never had a drinking problem, but I drink at weddings etc. Definitely a fan of keeping it around for the occasional night out.

@icobeast Was that your first blow out?

A little snippet from the ico home on Sunday afternoon: icobaby - sitting on the couch eating a snack and watching a show (he’s sick with a cough) post-nap Me - holding the infant while mrsico starts to prep dinner Infant - makes a funny face and rips a gigantic poo Me - hmm that’s kinda weird they don’t normally have much smell right after Infant blew out the diaper all over my shirt and pants Baby poo everywhere icobaby looks over: “daddy has a lot of poopoo on him” Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone

@IdMintThat @aakashgupta Drugs, mickelle.

@aakashgupta Who is fixing this

This has a clinical name. Revenge bedtime procrastination. And the ADHD version runs on a completely different mechanism than the neurotypical one. A neurotypical person stays up late because they want more leisure time. The ADHD brain stays up because it spent every drop of dopamine it had on executive function during the day. Sitting in meetings, managing transitions, filtering impulses, remembering the thing you were supposed to remember. That burns through dopamine the way sprinting burns through glycogen. By 10pm the tank is empty. But here's where it gets counterintuitive. The exhaustion is physical. The dopamine deficit is neurological. Those are two separate systems. Your muscles want sleep. Your prefrontal cortex is starving for the stimulation it was denied all day because it spent 14 hours on task-switching and impulse control instead of anything that actually felt rewarding. The phone at midnight is the brain trying to collect what it's owed. Low-effort, high-stimulation content. Scrolling, short videos, rabbit holes. The exact profile of activity that delivers dopamine without requiring the executive function you already depleted. The sleep researchers call this a "self-regulation failure." It's closer to a debt collection. You borrowed against your own reward system to function all day. The bill comes due at midnight. And the brain will not let you sleep until it gets paid.

@DrMcFillin Ah yes, amphetamines, a classically calming drug. No neuro indicators to be seen here, carry on

Nobody asks the most basic question about ADHD: Why is this medical at all? If there's no biological test, no measurable pathology, no objective finding — what exactly gives a doctor the authority to call a child's behavior a disease and prescribe Schedule II amphetamines? I asked a Columbia psychiatrist this directly. His answer was appeals to training and expertise. Expertise in what? Memorizing a checklist? Writing prescriptions? Mistaking subjective judgment for medical diagnosis? Here's what actually gets labeled ADHD: A traumatized child in hypervigilance. A sleep-deprived kid who can't sit still. A gifted child bored out of their mind. A kid younger than their classmates by 11 months — still developmentally behind peers — labeled disordered. A child reacting to family dysfunction. A malnourished kid washing down a stimulant with sugary cereal. Every one of those children has a real problem. None of those problems is "ADHD." And none of them gets solved by amphetamines. What actually gets solved? The inconvenience. The kid sits still. The classroom gets quieter. The parent stops getting calls from the school. The psychiatrist books three more 15-minute medication management appointments per hour. We're not treating disease. We're suppressing behavior that makes adults uncomfortable — and calling it medicine. The DSM disorders aren't discovered through research. They're created through committee votes. Literally. When homosexuality was in the DSM, it wasn't removed because of a biological discovery. They voted. That's the process. That's the authority. Your child's diagnosis was born the same way. This isn't a fringe position. The former head of NIMH called the DSM "scientifically meaningless." The man who chaired the DSM-IV task force now admits they created false epidemics. These are psychiatry's own leaders. The question was never whether children struggle. Of course they do. The question is whether we should be diagnosing that struggle as a brain disease and drugging it into silence. AWAKEN.

@bryan_johnson @DrewAustin @enhanced_games This is the best but the branding is absolute dog shit. Should be called like games of olympus, titan battles, superhuman games, russian olympics, dope games, they could really do so much better

I’m cohosting the Enhanced Games this Sunday, first time as a broadcaster. It’s the Olympics with enhancement allowed. Athletes use FDA-approved medications prescribed and supervised by doctors. Most enhancement protocols were monitored in an IRB clinical trial over the past five months. Athletes testing the frontiers of what’s possible. I’ll be speaking to the athletes’ measurements, clinical care and enhancement protocols. Reviewing their data in the role of Human Enhancement Analyst. I spent the week with the athletes and doctors. So many moving stories of courage and triumph. Tune in Sunday. It will be a great time.

One of my mom friends said she didnt understand the value of crypto tonight but turns out she didnt understand how any currency is valued

@JenIsProLife @EliMcCann

@EliMcCann Are you a man? And why do you have a husband? That makes no sense.

My husband made me take new headshots for my upcoming book because I've been using the same one for like seven years. I hate pictures of myself. Please just tell me which one of these to use for the back of the book.

@c_mami I want to vibecode an app. I know nothing. You are the expert. Leave instructions for v0 to create the front end. Make no mistakes.

I have an idea for something to vibecode but idk where to start with learning how to vibecode

One time i lent someone a book and they got mad at me when i asked for it back I still think about that

@StarkNaked23 Every time i step out on the bay i hate myself

Sometimes I think about leaving the Bay Area but I’m not sure I would fit in anywhere else

Microdosing hell by being aware and literate

@KyleMatovcik @RepNancyMace Ukraine?

@RepNancyMace You're missing the largest recipient of foreign aid and the only country that doesn't have to register under FARA there, Nance

America FIRST. Not Somalia. Not India. Not China. Not anywhere else.

Me, awkwardly contorting to view my crotch, because i wore white pants on my period

@afelipexyz Thats why neo banks keep popping up

@emilyluvscrypto a stable margin isn't a reason to build, it's a reason to invest

At what point do we admit we have enough neobanks?

What is californias equivalent to waffle house? Im doing research

@beaniemaxi Solana as bank of china

If Solana would cut the ridiculous inflation I'd be a gigabuyer here. Great comtrarian setup but needs that catalyst.

@girlintheverse Absolutely not 🤦‍♀️

Could the CLARITY Act make America the crypto capital of the world?
