  • Honestly, the scores aren’t really terrible for the most part. The colors of the graphic are certainly painting it worse than it is. Dark orange is still up to a 6.7 rating, which isn’t bad, and that’s close to the average for the majority of the “bad” season. What hurts them the most is that the first 10 season were so good, the delta between them and after was large.






  • Self medicating is not good advice, but fuck, THC has been magical for me in this regard. I’m not saying it’s made everything alright and that it doesn’t carry negatives with it, but overall I’m better with it in my life. I still have other issues with depression and possible ADHD (lots of symptoms, waiting list to get a professional eval) but weed helps me chill and cope with life.

    I want to try shrooms, but I need a good Sherpa, and product. I had a little bit of a shroom chocolate bar last new years, but I was already stoned and drunk, so I couldn’t tell where the alcohol ended and the shrooms began.




  • I disagree. Genocide doesn’t list a minimum number of causalities to be considered genocide. If I go out and kill one person, that makes me a murderer. If I kill a couple of people, that makes me a serial killer. If I kill less people than John Wayne Gacy, does that suddenly mean I’m not a serial killer, because his serial killing was worse?

    Just because the atrocities committed in Israel aren’t as significant as those in Nazi Germany doesn’t mean it’s not a genocide.






  • I’m not a math expert by any means so I can’t really answer the first part well. I can say that when I was taught trig, they were used to calculate angles in a triangle, and the function you used was dependent on the info you had. Sine/Cosecant, Cosine/Secant, and Tangent/Cotangent are the functions. Each function is paired with an opposite. To remember the formula, it’s Soh Cah Toa, where the first letter is the the function, the second two are the inputs. So, Sin(x) == opposite/hypotenuse, and then the opposite of that is Sec(x) == hypotenuse/opposite, and so on.

    That’s poorly explained and leaves a lot of info on the table, but that’s what I remember.



  • In order to escape these illusions, you need to be able to think critically and reason what are facts and what are illusions. You have to be able to read about a topic and understand meanings and context, then from there you can get a deeper understanding. Knowledge isn’t just knowing facts, but understanding what makes them facts.

    Referencing your words in a different comment, to find out the the world isn’t all beige, you need to go out and experience the world. Take a step back on things you think you know, and try to see them from a different perspective. Read counterpoints to your opinions and study the basis behind them. The more you branch, the more new information you will discover, which will open the door to more knowledge and can help break these illusions.
