- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 hours ago:
Everyone is only there for the money. No one would be there if they weren’t getting paid. It sounds like you’re walking around telling all your coworkers “I’m only here for money,” which very honestly sounds insufferable. When you say the “C suite” wants to talk to you about this, are you referring to your boss, or your boss’s boss? Unless you’re in a high level job at a large company, those people are definitely not in the “C suite.”
- Comment on Ants Trapped For Years in a Soviet Nuclear Bunker Survived in The Most Horrifying Way 16 hours ago:
When they say “graveyard,” they mean “trash pile.” Every any colony disposes of their waste away from the colony, and many will have a specific place they dump it. They throw their dead in the pile along with everything else that they need to remove from the nest.
As far as having an understanding of what’s in the hole? Ants do not understand like that. They instinctually follow pheromone trails but don’t really think about it.
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 1 day ago:
We send my son to private school. It’s not for multimillionaires, but it’s basically the cost of a second mortgage. We make his lunch every morning. Today it was a bean taco with cantaloupe, olives, cherry tomatoes, and cheese crackers.

- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 5 days ago:
Bipolar disorder is not curable, meaning that if you have it, you have it forever. That you have experienced mania before, but think right now it’s “impossible” that you’re manic, that’s a worrying sign.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 5 days ago:
The food is not doing this to you. The increased energy and irritability you describe are hallmark symptoms of a manic episode. Other symptoms include increased sex drive, loss of impulse control, and increased goal-directed activity.
I had a patient once who was manic as fuck and even came into the hospital denying that he was manic, that instead he started an all-meat diet and it gave him limitless energy. In real life, he was experiencing mania before he started that diet, and his manic brain was just continually connecting dots that weren’t actually connected.
I highly recommend you see a psychiatrist for an evaluation. If you are experiencing a manic episode, it could get worse before it gets better. I’ve seen it get a lot worse for people

- Comment on Why does my brain think I still need counterpoints for arguments I had ten years ago? 1 week ago:
With the caveat that it can be easy for some people to trigger a stress response in themselves by ruminating on past events, at which point any benefit of contemplation may become outweighed by the negative effects of anxiety. Developing the ability to set aside a thought that’s causing you distress in the moment and learning to approach it from a more neutral or objective perspective are also powerful tools.

- Comment on £500m Thames Water desalination plant has provided just seven days’ water over 15 years 1 week ago:
Upgrades are under way, with the aim of getting 50m litres of water a day [Ml/d] by the end of the current five-year investment cycle and “75Ml/d during drought periods” by 2031, according to the water company’s documents.
A Thames Water spokesperson said the Gateway desalination plant is designed to provide up to 5% of London’s supply “during very dry conditions”, with decisions on operation based on long-term forecasts and storage levels. Once safety works and maintenance are complete it will run “in line with our water resources management plan”.

Some warned that the lack of dramatic action creates the risk that market makers may exit as it becomes harder to generate profits.
Wtf is a “market maker” in currency exchange markets?! Those people add nothing of value to the world and only suck wealth from others. Please, exit.
