I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but that's a sad way to view the world.

Maybe for you it is. I know tons of people who do this with 0 issue at multiple places I've worked.

nafixon Operation Midnight Climax: How the CIA Dosed S.F. Citizens with LSD (2012)

It's surprising how many people don't know about this stuff. I've brought it up to lots of people, and they get very uneasy when I show them that it's factual.

nafixon Excess protein enabled dog domestication during severe Ice Age winters

Just an observation that I've noticed about myself:

* During periods where I am trying to lose weight or not working out much, I tend to not crave meat very much. In fact, eating certain types of meats (for example, steak) would kind of make me experience mild nausea.

* During periods where I am working out a lot (lots of running and heavy weight lifting), I have a strong desire to eat lots of meat and don't tire of it.

For me, the "charm" of meat depends on the physical requirements of what I am doing in some period of time.

Same here. I live in a 950 square foot apartment. I can't stand being in the same space all day long. I need a change of space, and I actually enjoy working in the company building. It's a very modern work space.

nafixon Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn

I would ignore a message like that as well. I would expect someone to state their purpose in a message before proposing some kind of call or in-person meeting. I don't think general "reconnecting" is a meaningful purpose.

nafixon Google is now applying its coronavirus misinformation policies to personal files

I don't think they are digging their own grave unfortunately. The majority of people seem to be Ok with this, and the majority will continue to use these platforms. I still use these platforms even though I hate what they are doing. We really do need some alternatives...

nafixon Google is now applying its coronavirus misinformation policies to personal files

I did not expect to see platform censorship accelerate at this rate. It always seems to be government and media dictating the terms of the censorship as well, which should be very concerning.

nafixon Back pain is a problem which is badly treated

I would recommend inversion for some people. Inversion set me down a path of reversing years of compression, muscle dysfunction, and chronic pain from a tailbone injury 12 years earlier.

nafixon Sacha Baron Cohen Uses ADL Speech to Tear Apart Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook

Why is everyone who disagrees with SBC getting down voted? Are people not allowed to have different opinions on this? This article and speech are extremely subjective in their own right. Not too mention it's being sponsored by a literal _lobbying_ group. What am I missing here?
