ravages of socialism

Uh, what's happening here? The post shows no content for me, and clicking on the title only redirects me back to the post itself. Yet other people in the comment section are talking as if there was some specific content here, other than just the title "ravages of socialism".

Am I missing something here? Is there a malfunction, or did OP edit their post after the fact so that the actual content is just gone?

The ravages of socialism have resulted in a shortage of posts, forcing some lemmings to survive on titles alone

Tldr kinda

He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.

Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers... but thats the one he took.

I also like the one about him absolutely destroying himself with the insane all-meat diet his daughter espoused. Not sure if that was before or after the benzos and whether there's a causal link, though..

JP is one of the greatest examples of how you can be smart in one narrowly defined way, and an absolute dipshit in so many others. I never really bothered with the guy as the subject doesn't interest me all that much, but I hear he was a leading voice at one point, and a fairly coherent one at that. And then based on his early success and subsequent fans, he let it get to his head and started thinking he was the smartest guy in every room.

Another example is Steve Jobs. Autistic rainman style levels of design, marketing and usage knowledge, but apparently couldn't do simple shit like feed himself properly or maintain his personal hygiene.

TBF, scientific studies seem to support that ketosis can influence/mitigate neurological conditions. The ketogenic diet was originally developed as a method of managing epilepsy, for instance.

The "classic" ketogenic diet is a special high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in some people with epilepsy.

Personally, I'm giving it a try to assist with migraine management, per this study:

In total, 17 patients (73.9%) reported a reduction in the headache days, and 15 patients (65.2%) reported a reduction in headache days of at least 50% and were considered as responders.

The study itself had 23 patients iirc, so I'm sure more research needs to be done, but I'd like to avoid daily medications due to some of the undesirable side effects and I'm in good enough health to accept the risk for a few months.

It doesn't sound like this is a guaranteed fact, but could be a rumor. Just for the sake of transparency.

The benzo addiction and russian coma were definitely things that happened. The brain damage is inferred with the whole "He had to re-learn how to walk and button his clothes"

I assume the first one is the reference to his absolute bullshit claim that he had a glass of apple juice and then literally did not sleep for a month. And people eat that shit up.

Webp is great. Very space efficient, good quality, supports animation, etc.

It's funny when - a man who spent his career reinforcing the bullshit societal biases that make it harder for men to share emotions - cries and shares his emotions.

But when he cried and shared his emotions everyone teared into him because of it and just added it as another reason to make fun of him, so... was he really that wrong?

He's being "made fun of" because he's a misogynist, a sophist, and a hypocrite. The crying is incidental. Less obviously heinous people overwhelmingly receive sympathy in their vulnerability. If I'm getting your argument right you're saying: "people are mean to men who cry so indeed men shouldn't cry". The takeaway is surely, "be less of a dickhead" rather than "cry less".

Why is he a misogynist?

Also, I'm not saying men should cry less. I'm just saying that the people who tell men it's ok to cry are usually the ones who get more bothered when it happens.
