    I’d say it’s more like it doesn’t make us high

    Addiction can take many forms, one of which is based around withdraw. With regular use, it sometimes becomes impossible to get up in the morning without it. But this is different than how it seems to be for neurotypical people (as I’m sure many of us have seen it when sharing our meds in our youth)

    For neurotypical people, amphetamines make them slightly manic, not just just energized but also euphoric. With ADHD, instead it’s more like gaining clarity, the task that looks like a mountain is reduced just to the path through it. It’s like dropping weight, all the imaginary baggage required for a thing is just gone, and you can just do it

    Give most people strong stimulants and ask them to meditate and they’ll grind their teeth and twitch with unrealized energy. Give one to someone with adhd, and they’ll find it easier to be still than they ever have





  • People want cheap products in a general sense, they don’t like off shoring, it was hugely disruptive to jobs and the quality nose dives (at least for a time, sometimes permanently). They didn’t ask for or choose it, they’re the low information side of the system

    Of course they’re upset at things being tariffed, they don’t want prices going up. They likely have some preference to buy things made locally, or by a country with a reputation

    None of this is a choice made by consumers, it’s a generalized set of incentives and pressures created by the market

    It’s like planned obsolescence… People hate it, it’s being sold to them


  • It continues to boggles my mind how so many people are walking around with a narrator and movies playing in their head, and how I went through decades of life before I realized that was a thing

    How do I know where my keys are? I just remember the location of my keys…I don’t see them, I remember their location. It’s one of a million little quantifications of the environment my brain does for me automatically all the time. In fact, I generally notice and remember where all the keys I see are, because I think of keys as an important object to keep track of

    I won’t remember what they look like, except as a very general impression. I’ll probably remember if they’re big or small bunches of keys, or if they’re on a lanyard, but I probably won’t remember if a keychain is red or green. I’ll remember it’s on a side table near the door, or on this side of the room.

    But I’ll remember qualia of the keys. I’ll remember if I see an individual put them down somewhere, and if there’s something interesting about the keys I’ll probably remember that, but generally? I probably won’t remember much except the general location

    At the end of the day, I remember what I notice, which is generally what matters to me subjectively. My mind stores everything as impressions








  • …Isn’t that what we’re talking about though? Or did I misunderstand the OP?

    The post said they were neon database creds, so I would think those would live on the production system in .env

    Rereading it, it seems that they probably set their local build to point at the prod database… Which is like halfway developing (with AI) in prod (which I think we’d agree is not ideal)

    I do absolutely agree with what you’re saying though, not everyone should have access to the prod system for sure… Especially not an AI on a loose leash

    I’d split the difference and say we’re both right


  • There’s no step 2. They think that displacement of immigrants will fix the medical system, raise wages, create free labor, and make their children speak to them again

    Why? Because every problem can be attributed to “the enemy”, and so removal of “the enemy” will fix everything

    It’s the core of fascism, if they somehow succeeded “the enemy” would transition from brown people to dissenters and then “fake” fascists or impure bloodlines or something

    There must always be an enemy, because a fascist movement runs on hatred for “the enemy”… That’s the whole plan
