You can theoretically build any financial tool on these platforms, yet when everyone tries to gain an edge in a market, there's a winner and a loser.

Fuck Milton Friedman, but he's right about that one thing. There's no free lunch.

As they say, brown lie down, black fight back.

I can't believe they made a polymarket for the second coming of Jesus Christ, with an expected return resembling the expected fixed yield of USDC. Additionally, you can bet that secret aliens are gonna be revealed by the government. Like that's ever gonna happen, AND it's free real estate.

It's all bullshit. We're comparing units of nonsense in a differential accumulation fever dream. It's all extractive and thermodynamically pure, God's a lie, time went backwards from its conclusion, other existential noises.

Nicotine addiction causes the brain to form automatic unconscious behaviors, like reaching for your pocket out of instinct, in a way that other legal substances don't. Alcoholism can reduce inhibition, which causes impaired decision making and potentially an inability to stop drinking, but this doesn't cause someone to reach for phantom glasses when sober. Since crack pushes the brain's "reinforce behavior button" quite directly after completing the action of smoking crack, is it even possible to say no to this substance? What sticks around post-recovery?

For those of you who aren't familiar, hydroxyzine is an anti- anxiety compound with similar properties to DPH. It's a prescription drug specifically designed to deliver the calming and relaxing effects that anti-histamines are capable of at normal doses.

I'm a person that has never experienced a true psychotic break from reality. I can recount experiences where the line was blurred, and any time where I questioned whether something happened or not, however briefly, it took place while influenced by this substance.

I took 50mg of hydroxyzine on a few occasions, maybe 75 mg within a 48 hour period, but otherwise mostly avoided it, and instead opted for alcohol to ease my mind. These doses caused vomiting and nausea within the span of a couple days. I remember having mild hypnogogic hallucinations that felt dreamy as well.

Every regular user of this substance that I've met has acted a very specific way that's hard to describe. Uninhibited in critique, more self confident, and lowkey terrified. It's as if this drug introduces a new dichotomy into life that attempts to avoid the rebound effects of GABAergenics, without removing the inherent dichotomous nature of these drugs.

Is this stuff ever worth using, beyond avoiding the physical harm of alcohol? I feel like I'd rather take a shot or two to stop a panic attack over any instant-acting pharmaceutical drug.

Within the past 100 years, humans have managed to cover the globe with smooth platforms, hosting a fleet of zoomy wheelchair pods gliding on top 24/7 at speeds faster than anything that has ever lived on this planet.

Imagine trying to explain that to horse and buggy people from the 1800s. Like yeah, we all just follow the shiny lines and hangy lights and it works pretty much every time. The machine never gets tired and you can just change the air temperature and listen to music whenever you want.

The wildest part isn't even the car, it's the public track that goes pretty much anywhere and everywhere. Covering the continents with a network of flat rocks would've been seen as a silly pipe dream by the sailboat people. Like what's next, a bunch of pitstops with dino juice and snackies?

You don't need to load up the family ass with a month of supplies to climb over the mountains like a caveman. They just somehow built roads there once upon a time. The indefinite zoomzoom platform is basically finished and it's just part of life now.

We shouldn't take our oversized wheelchairs for granted. It's probably humanity's magnum opus.
