Two doctoral degrees? Who hurt you?!

But seriously, congratulations!

Cool study and application for crow-treat exchanges. But the image is AI. That is some gibberish Swedish text.

This is what baffles me about these papers. Assuming the authors are actually real people, these AI-generated mistakes in publications should be pretty easy to catch and edit.

It does make you wonder how many people are successfully putting AI-generated garbage out there if they're careful enough to remove obviously AI-generated sentences.

What kind of pills?

Looks like it's edited. This article came up when reverse searching the image: https://newsone.com/6872398/trump-renames-ai-supreme-intelligence/

Canada has drug ads, but with special rules. You can either mention the drug name or its indication, but not both.

So you'll get ads that say stuff like "Ozempic - ask your doctor if it's right for you" with people happily eating in a coffeeshop. But they won't tell you what Ozempic is supposed to do.

I get the issues with mass tourism, and Barcelona is pretty bad for being absolutely packed with tourists.

But on the flip side, tourists dump quite a bit of money into the economy, especially when it comes to restaurants. And Barcelona has quite a high city tax.

Of course this money doesn't necessarily trickle down to local citizens. But do you think the government would ever discourage tourists from visiting? I'm sure they enjoy a nice amount of revenue from the various taxes imposed on tourists.

I can't remember which episode it is, but there's an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain's shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.

This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of "And this one is made with tobacco, so you won't try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke".

I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.

And it's located at Bloor and Sherborne no less, lol. Great area.

My thoughts too, I'm not seeing much of an Adam's apple. I doubt you look like that just from avoiding the sun.

He probably had to give the cigar back to whoever owned it after the photoshoot was done.

Datura can definitely be used for nefarious purposes, and fuck Epstein - but it isn't as rare and crazy to grow as the article makes out. There's a big patch of datura that grows wild near me beside an old folks' home. I'm sure there is plenty growing wild in most of North America.

Can we delete someone else's post?

(Kidding OP, it looks really tasty but definitely not improved poutine)

The intro blurb to this recipe is written by AI, isn't it?

Just started this game last night - great timing to see this pop up on my feed!

There is work from the same group of researchers showing that CBD + THC actually exacerbates the effects of THC on psychosis symptoms in people with schizophrenia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40702165/

Plus I wouldn't be surprised if some of the beneficial effects of a gram of CBD on psychosis symptoms has to do with pharmacokinetic effects (CBD inhibits enzymes that metabolize a lot of drugs, meaning a gram of CBD in someone with Schizophrenia that is taking other medicines would increase their blood levels of the other medicines).

Not to say playing around with some CBD is a bad idea if it works for you, but the actual hard evidence on CBD acting as a counter weight to THC's effects is pretty scant.

I used to make butter with it in the past, now I mostly compost it. Making butter is a stinky process lol. I like your olive oil idea though, less smell for sure.

I used to eat the equivalent of like 7-10g of vaped herb edibles before transatlantic flights and that was fantastic, slept right from takeoff and woke up touching down in my destination lol.

Is it possible he just went pushed himself too far?

Seems like in my experience (myself included) most people have a tendency to explore psychedelics heavily once they start and then they tend to slow down. But I guess being that he was making money off of taking drugs and making videos about it that he felt forced to continue. I haven't watched his videos in many years now..

Pareidolia is the tendency to see faces in random patterns. Our brains are just kind of wired to recognize facial patterns. It doesn't mean you have schizophrenia, necessarily.
