I have a bunch of theories about life.
Right now I am mostly thinking about how people from developed countries are losing their street smarts and common sense because their lives are so easy. At the same time, people from developing countries immigrate to developed ones and advance and prosper by using their street smarts and common sense. I guess this is my hot take on the replacement theory except I don’t think race has much to do with it, mostly one’s life circumstances. My smaller theories are that 90% of the people have anxiety of varying degrees; that nature accounts for 90% of personality and nurture is only about 10%; that most stereotypes are actually true 90% of the time, so to save time and energy we may just as well not question our biases. I also a big believer in seemingly unimportant but clear red flags that are telltale signs of a person’s character. |

This sort of gets halfway there to simulation theory. I could believe simulation theory. But not the crazy stuff about it. -reconciles some stuff in my mind -don’t believe that it fails or has cracks like deja vu etc. |

The mood stabilizers most relied upon in treatment of bipolar are anti-convulsants that are used to treat seizures. And both are (most likely) issues that arise in the brain. |

But there are also certain anticonvulsants that are NOT mood stabilizers and in fact are not recommended for people with mood disorders because it makes them worse (e.g. Keppra). On that note though, Anticonvulsants also help with migraines and motion sickness. But then again aspirin can help prevent heart issues... some meds have multiple uses but it doesn't mean the conditions are directly related. |

simulation theory is a fun thought experiment! Like we can’t go faster than the speed of light because that’s the max processing speed of our simulation’s CPU. |

Those upside down squeeze bottles for condiments are a scam designed to benefit Big Mayo.
1. First, it's so easy to use that you start putting mayo on everything, but then--- 2. it's impossible to get the last bit of mayo out of the squeeze bottle, whereas a good knife or a skinny iced tea spoon can get you the last bit of mayo in the jar. so people end up having to buy condiments more frequently. Profits go up, Big Mayo laughs. it's genius!! And now even the dish detergent guys have gotten in on the game. Next up will be squeeze bottle yogurt--oh wait, that already exists, it's called gogurt... |

Babe, the squeeze bottle tops can be removed. |

By hungry, you mean food insecure? |

If you think peanut allergies are fake, you are too stupid to exist. If you conflate the people who don’t like peanuts or shellfish with the people who can die from ingesting these things, you are too stupid to exist. |

| I think women who eat a lot of peanut butter when pregnant end up with kids who have peanut allergies |

Fascinating theory. I have a kid with ADHD/ASD combo and the other kids like him really seem different than the straight up just ADHD kids I know. And a lot of us question whether Autism is really a correct diagnosis (versus becoming a catch all). I think you’re right there could be some not yet named separate d/o. |
