What does it mean?

You can look at the formation of planets as a form of entropy. Life forming as a form of entropy.

Its just energy moving from a higher state to a lower state. And whenever that happens, a tiny amount of it is lost.

Over time, it adds up.

Would be cool to do a census.

Except in areas where the air quality is so bad that the rain just ends up making your car dirtier :\

I understand where you're coming from, and I don't mean to minimize the issue - just didn't expect my reply to incite a serious discussion about the pitfalls of addiction. Its absolutely an important subject involving many complicated factors.

For context, though, I can assure you that my comment did not come from a place of subconscious interest. I place incredible value on maintaining a clear state of mind, and go to great strides to keep it that way. I would never willingly jeprodaize it.

Its really not. The context of the question was "there are zero consequences for your actions". To put it somewhat reductively, addiction is, in essence, a direct or indirect consequence of experiencing a high. Since the hypothetical specifiee no consequences, there would be no addiction.

I appreciate the concern, but please don't read too much into it. Its a silly answer to a silly question.

Everyone's talking about killing people and I'm here thinking about how you could try every drug imaginable with zero risk of addiction

Coming up on 8 years. I'm in my late 20s.

I had a string of very intense relationships early on and found life much less stressful without one.

I have enjoyed it. But approaching my 30s I've realized how much I want to share my life with someone. I am fortunate enough to have many close friends, both male and female, and would love to have that chemistry and support available daily, in a more intimate context.

Pros, unquestionable agency. Cons, occasional intense loneliness and being unable to spend much time with friends who are in their own relationships.

A partnership is a goal of mine, yes. But I'm reaching for that goal by first working to make sure I'm the best possible version of myself that I can be.

This needs at least one flash game to be accurate

Oh, I just started reading that. Any tips?

I appreciate the research and sources you've listed here. Its quite interesting from an impact perspective.

Ayo what the fuck how'd you do that

I like using a variation of it to keep track of my projects at home.

I got my whole family on it, and generally all my closest friends have it as at least a backup. As the other chat apps falter it's been easier to convert people.

Probably Iceland. Try to get some land, plant some trees and start a forestry business or a small farm. Ideally close enough to existing geothermal networks that I could still take advantage of the dirt cheap hot water. Enjoy the rain and fog and natural beauty of the place. Would be lovely.

This is a fantastic perspective I hadn't considered

I don't think I could eat whole bugs, but bug flour? Easy.

We got a "bill" from a company like this that wanted ~300 bucks to "list your companies name on our website". That was it. You paid them, and you got added to the list of accountants that didn't read the fine print. Pretty clever, if obnoxious.

I like this format for public address

Your points have been heard and my opinion has been swayed

I've lurked for a while, but I made an account just so I could comment on what a brain-dead take this is. Referring to ADHD meds prescribed by a licensed physician as "stimmies" perpetuates the idea that ADHD is nothing more than a "lazy person" illness, and that our medication is merely a crutch or an "addiction".

Furthermore, people don't "choose meds over other pleasures in life". Meds are the reason we can achieve and enjoy pleasures in life. Needing medication is not fucking "dependency" akin to a drug addict. Jeez, I guess you must have a real problem with diabetics always neededing their next hit of insulin too, am I right?

Unreal. You're doing way more harm than good and I suggest you check yourself before doing even more damage.
