      More like they realize they only captured half the market on self care/makeup for women. So they made up some goofy shit to get influencable men to also consume

      Please let them take all the experimental drugs they can, especially the dangerous ones.

      This is why they keep getting it ***so fucking wrong*** and are confused when the public do a ‘massive backlash’ at AI because the output quality is such poor quality and these fuckwits are so high on ketamine and the like they can’t understand the issue and think the output is ‘magical’?

    4. Everyone that has worked for a few years in tech knows how ridiculous that headline is. Is it still “in secret” if they don’t care? Also, it implies that it’s just billionaires, in reality those are common lunch-time discussions among people working in tech.

    5. Wait i thought they were all about essential biology and not transforming bodies

    6. Cocaine being the most common one. Turning them in ego maniacs who are the modern feudal lord’s

      that old fear of aging and death that used to be placated with an afterlife is now starting to be assauged with magic pills.

    8. When I worked at Google, literally everybody was taking 90+mg of Adderall a day. It was no secret.

    9. Yes, and it just amplified the fact that they’re all narcissistic psychopaths

    10. At this point, I think we should consider Capitalism an Olympic event. Anyone who reaches $1bn in personal wealth, gets a leaf crown and a medal in a ceremony, all their businesses and finances are taken from them and they receive an account that is topped up to $1m every 1st of the month for the rest of their life.

      Even if they drain their account every month, 80 years will only cost 960m. Statistically improbably that it will be a loss.

      You won. We pay for you for the rest of your life. Retire. Get a life.

    11. It all started with the normalization of TRT which was to make middle aged uncs and grandpas feel like they were 30 years old again. It’s unnatural, but marketed as normal. Getting old is normal.

    12. I began Ketamine therapy a few weeks ago for brain fog and poor focus. Its a made a very noticeable difference.

      I strongly suspected that it would work for me. I microdosed mushrooms several years ago for the same purpose, and it really helped. Unfortunately, getting mushrooms is quasi illegal and sorta risky, so I decided that it wasn’t worth the risk.

      Ketamine is prescribed by a medical professional and is delivered to my door.

      The hard part is nailing down the dosage. I was prescribed 400mg, but decided to start off with 100mg……and I was glad that I did. Because I was properly zooted on 100mg. I took 200mg, the next time, and that was just too much. If I had taken 400mg…..I’d be barking at the moon.
