westmeal··on Japanese scientists develop artificial blood compatible with all blood types
I used to be a Jehovah's witness when I was younger and I gotta say there sure were a lot of accounts of kids dying because their parents and the jws didn't want blood. Sure they got praised for their steadfastness after the fact but I often wonder how many would still be alive. Not to say blood transfusions are perfect or never cause problems but I mean come on.

What the fuck they made cows eat other cows? Dear God.
westmeal··on Will the AI backlash spill into the streets?
I see it another way. I think the products will become cheaper to produce but the prices will remain the same or higher. Just because something is cheaper does not mean businesses are obligated to reduce price. If anything it's the opposite (as long as you can get away with it).

westmeal··on Wikipedia’s nonprofit status questioned by D.C. U.S. attorney
The suing thing would be cool but the court system is slow by design. I can't see it working in practice however I'm also really fed up with the bullshit so i understand.
westmeal··on Internal MS email to managers details new policies to cull low performers
There's an HR department because management views humans as human resources.

I can respect this line of thinking. You do you buddy and I hope you have an excellent night.
westmeal··on Take a Cold Bath
You forgot the part where some woman's husband dies and God wants his brother to knock her up asap but when he pulls out and cums on the floor God strikes him down immediately. His pull out game was so good that God himself was furious.

westmeal··on What do people see when they're tripping? Analyzing Erowid's trip reports
Nope, but as others have said - you must commit and realize that once you dose you're in for whatever it is. You must assure yourself that this is temporary and will pass. As a matter in fact our lives are much the same, nothing ever lasts forever. Just gotta roll with it.

Anyway, it's not that the brain isn't working properly it's just that the brain is working differently. That's how I see it.

westmeal··on I found a backdoor into my bed
I kind of remember just connecting to the MAC of the lightbulb itself by finding it on my routers table and then plugging in the info to his script. You could change colors too by passing little JSON strings. Maybe things are different now as this was in maybe 2018ish
