This person hasn't seen competition. Take Starcraft on ICCup for example. CS/DoD where you can rely on others for team games are much easier psychologically than a one-on-one duel where it's just you and nobody else but you to fuck things up.

These articles really need a lot of context to parse as they paint some of the compounds as having potential upside without downsides.

Metformin is amazing in people with diabetes, but among non-diabetics taking it for vague life extension claims it’s often discontinued due to side effects.

Rapamycin has fallen out of favor among many in this space because they felt it was producing net negative effects as well as causing very annoying side effects like blisters in the mouth.

I’ve followed supplement and fitness forums for years. It’s amazing how frequently a prescription medication will be held up as a wonder drug, but then people who try it discover it isn’t helping them or is even causing other problems they didn’t think about.

EDIT: There are some serious scientific errors in this blog (dose conversions from mice studies). After clicking around the author appears to be into some quackery and conspiracy theory stuff as well. I flagged this submission because it’s not as scientific of a source as it claims.

I'm surprised at the lack of intersectional shitposting when it comes to this subject, something along the lines of "FAANG intern tech bros making $1.5m TC are microdosing on ivermectin for health benefits." Get Wired or some other shit rag (the Altnatic?) to run with it complete with fancy full-viewport animations and gushing narrative intro over how it all started when someone's pitbull decided to take a shit in jeff bezos office.

I was in a very negative space earlier this year due to the current direction the US is heading. Mostly because I am someone that doesn't want to hear problems without a call to action I can actually engage with. The things that are happening at the national level are very hard to do anything about but I did realize that I could engage at my local level so I decided to just start showing up. I now regularly attend my local city counsel meetings. I don't go and make a bunch of remarks but I have, on a few occasions, added to the public comments and, I think, I was listened to. If you want to effect change my recommendation is to show up. At a minimum you will get far more informed but you may just find that you can actually make a change too.

I have reservations about this line of thought.

For one, the people at the local city counsel have been showing up for a long time, all over the country in fact. If the actions they took have brought them here, of what use were the actions?

And second, I would like to see some hard evidence that you have in fact effected/enacted change by showing up beyond just being more informed and participating in what can otherwise be (from personal experience) either a snooze-fest or an echo chamber.
