Something Funny

I've watched the below video on Oil from Leo's blog: When talking about greener alternatives to Oil, the guy completely dismisses the nuclear power simply because "it will need a PR boost", according to his own words. How is that a valid argument? The narrator paints this dystopian "post order" future with oil shortages and climate change but says that nuclear energy won't be an option because...? To me, it looks like a great alternative to oil, gas, and coal. A nuclear power plan produces a shit tonn of energy, doesn't polute the environment or produce CO2, and isn't dependent on weather conditions (unlike solar or wind). It also doesn't require a super complicated supply chain, unlike oil or gas. Ability to produce energy locally, independent of the external political situation is a huge advantage, right? And, I think that its dangers are really overblown. There is also an issue of nuclear waste it generates, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Is there something that I am missing which makes nuclear energy not a viable option?

@Yimpa yeah, I found her channel, it's great. @Schizophonia yeah

Is there anyone with adhd who is taking meds? Are they worth it? I am afraid of it becoming a crutch or even actually doing more harm than good. Also, does anyone know if microdosing can be an alternative? @Leo Gura sorry for tagging you, but you seem to have a lot of knowledge about all kinds of drugs in general. Can you share your thoughts, please?

@Hugo Oliveira thank you

@Ulax thanks a lot

Also, how do I know if my diagnosis is correct?

@Schizophonia that's interesting, thank you for sharing. At the moment, I feel like I have too little experience and knowledge to start tinkering with stuff like this, so I think I will just go with meds and see how it works. But I will keep it in mind for the future.

Idk, what those are to be honest. And I've never tried nicotine.

I see. I am leaning towards trying out the medication. Thank you.

@Yimpa how so? My understanding was that people who are born with adhd just have different brain chemistry, and that it's for life.

@Ulax do you have adhd?

@Yimpa thank you

@Yimpa could you share more, please? What improvements / side effects have you noticed while on medication? Would you say that it helped you to then make those major changes that allowed you to get off the pills eventually? What were you taking?

@Yimpa I've been working with a coach for about 9 months, with 2 sessions per months. She is in favor of me starting to take medication. So is the person who diagnosed me. But I am still kind of apprehensive, and wanted to hear some outside opinions. And yeah, I wasn't able to make any behavioral changes so far. I feel kind of stuck, basically.

Yeah

@Leo Gura why are you guys saying that Owen isn't physically attractive? In my opinion, he looks kind of cool. I like his beard and his style in general. Sure, he is not Brad Pitt hot or whatever, but you guys are acting like he is ugly.

I am looking for an episode where Leo exaplains how God's love is absolute and how he loves and accepts even "bad" things like war and murder. Does anyone remember which one it is?

Thanks, I actually don't remember this one.

@mmKay haha Actually, I've just watched the anime called Elfen Lied, and MC there offed a lot of people. And now I am trying to explain to a guy on reddit how she is not really evil

Thank you

Yeah, but you don't know how well he would have been able to handle that. It's not like you know him very deeply as a person. Also, in my opinion, the kind of Russia, where Navalnyi could realistically become a president, would be inherently less corrupt already.

You don't know that.

I feel sick.

I wish everyone here to have the courage and strength to live the kind of life he did.

RIP, he was amazing.
