Starkus··on John Cleese: Political Correctness Can Lead to an Orwellian Nightmare (2016)
He's rather right about London and many parts of the EU, Europe has been losing its cultural identity for years.

Starkus··on New X-ray technique images soft-tissue tumors clearer than MRI
What is needed? I get shot, I have metal, I have not decided to operate to remove it. Life goes on
Starkus··on New X-ray technique images soft-tissue tumors clearer than MRI
As someone that was shot in the neck and I have metal that cannot go through an MRI machine... will this be my savior?
Starkus··on Microsoft begins showing an anti-Firefox ad in the Windows 10 start menu
I like Firefox, better logo
Starkus··on Single dose of psilocybin eased cancer patients' anxiety, depression for years
So, not a lawyer but I'll give some non lawyer advice.

You can buy spores online because the active psilocybin is not in them. They are mushroom spores (it's all so stupid to make illegal, but that's another debate)

You can grow them very easily in spare space. You grow the mycelium in a jar with brown rice flour and vermiculite, there comes a point where you expose the jar to some light to help stimulate growth. Like any natural growing mushroom. Then you put them in a container that remains humid, and again light helps them grow as theyll grow towards it. Think of a mushroom growing under a leaf off rotting tree bark in the forest, same concept.

They're decriminalized where I am (denver) and easy to find. Not legal to grow and cultivate, but do it for personal use and noone is going to bother you. Start selling or distributing, yeah, no need for that. Dont do that, federal law is still backwards and you can technically get in some trouble.

Starkus··on Climate Change Is Killing Alpine Skiing as We Know It
Go with the flow, planet has been warming and deicing for a very long time, such is a cycle.

Plant some trees, develop CO2 capture, etc.

Starkus··on Blackout Bug: Boeing 737 cockpit screens go blank if lands on specific runways
Why not watch the video? Was that not 'proof' enough for you to type this comment ?
Starkus··on Blackout Bug: Boeing 737 cockpit screens go blank if lands on specific runways
Watch the video and then look at the results - that thing was either shot down or blown up. That is not a Boeing malfunction
Starkus··on Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?
I do develop some insights working in an office though. For the most part, no, I can't even totally be myself in this corporate office and my life feels too routined. I'm looking for something more
Starkus··on Psilocybin found safe for consumption in largest ever controlled study
Denver is actually full of those little chocolates wrapped in tin foil , easy to find easy to get and also cannot get arrested for as long as no $ exchanged per the new law that was voted by the people
Starkus··on Psilocybin found safe for consumption in largest ever controlled study
It will be Denver first again
Starkus··on Psilocybin found safe for consumption in largest ever controlled study
Of course they are, all the time
Starkus··on Biopharma has abandoned antibiotic development
Ah, reminds me of investing (poorly) in Amplify Biosciences in late 2017...

Since acquired by Armata pharma, which trades around 4 a share, cap of 40M.... I lost 90% of my investment, oh darn, was a bad investment in hindsight.

Looking at that chart in the article, not too surprised the rest of the market in big red territory.

Starkus··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
Well... by first trying to point out a little ignorance coming from your comment. Second, maybe add in some hypocrisy from your comment. Third, it is really not about how a community 'behaves' because that is beside the initial point of you advocating for censorship based on political opinions when you're referencing Reddit.

That community does not directly behave in violence, hate, etc. How ridiculous of you to make that assertion. You're likely buying into the bullshit about the excuse Reddit made to censor them to begin with..."Anti police rhetoric" ...it is laughable that you're buying that.

End of story: Political Censorship

Starkus··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
Classic, well thought out response. lol...
Starkus··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
That is totally false to assert. So basically you're saying to 'ban them from day one' because...you don't like their politics?

and no, they are not a 'breeding ground for violence and hate thought/speech'

Reminds me of 'wrongthink' and you're advocating for its censor?

Censorship is evil, censoring that sub was evil to supress information

Starkus··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
That is mostly false to say. That sub gets bad actors all over it all the time. It is a controversial, political sub. There are many who have been working to remove it for years.

They should have never been censored, it was a politically inspired move, and a disgusting one to have made.

Starkus··on Sundar will be the CEO of both Google and Alphabet
I find it amusing that, if you comment on a thread on Hacker News, about Google's censorship, relevant to the posted article that states google is 'unbiased'...you're...censored
Starkus··on Sundar will be the CEO of both Google and Alphabet
That it is ongoing and growing with this extremely powerful company.
Starkus··on White nationalists operate openly on Facebook. The company won't act
"White nationalists operate only on Facebook"

Uh? Totally false title, is that a typo?

Starkus··on Office noise bothers some people more than others
I want to ask them to stop, but its one of those things i really feel that others should really know its rude and affects others. I'll get the excuse that they can't miss the notification, though, put the damn thing on vibrate!
Starkus··on Office noise bothers some people more than others
I have misophonia, I get extreme anger in the office if someone starts chomping with their mouths open out of nowhere.

Also the two older dudes near me always have their phones dinging, like when any notification comes to their phone, im close to insanity about it

Starkus··on Disney+ Might Have a Notable Hacker Problem
Sorry - forgot to mention I pay for subs like hbo, netflix, all that. If i ever see a movie in a theater, i torrent it later.

I've torrented all of game of thrones, yet, always pay my monthly for the service

Starkus··on Google search results have more human help than you think, report finds
Google censors and manipulates their queries, political too. They're heavy censors.

I recommend to get off of their search engine, go to DDG

Starkus··on Disney+ Might Have a Notable Hacker Problem
Does anyone else still torrent?

I rarely watch a tv show or a movie, but when I do I just torrent it. I've been doing this since Limewire (which was a lot of really shitty porn at the time).

Showed my boys Princess Mononoke the other day - will show them the Mandalorian tonight, a buddy told me its pretty good

Starkus··on Censorship is bad even when it’s done by private companies
Censorship is awful, sometimes even worse through large tech corporations, i.e. Google, Facebook, etc.
Starkus··on How California Became America’s Housing Market Nightmare
A Californian law that is inefficient and restrictive? No surprise there.

California has been extremely fortunate with major economic forces driving their economy for decades, but paired with ineffective governance to this beautiful state, is incredibly disappointing. No pity for CA though, a lot of their voters over the years enabled this

Starkus··on Googlers Are Protesting Company’s Deals with Big Oil
Google censors and manipulates their search engine and are an enemy to free flow of information.
