The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Old guy, here...

WTF is a "glowie"?

[–] LupertEverett@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"

Someone's been munching Elon's Special K for breakfast. New marketing tagline just dropped tho:

Brave browser, because you'd have to be brave to use a browser built by a Nazi

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

Brave: We're not!

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

usually ketamine would have an opposite effect, other things like alcohol and stimulants will amplify those things. much like musk, he probably uses alcohol alot too.

[–] 10001110101@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic. As someone who has always struggled with depression and has done ketamine, it does seem like it would be a good fast-acting, but short half-life anti-depressant (the afterglow lasts well after the buzz). Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term. Heard it messes up your bladder.

It's a dissociative. Its effects are more like PCP than like alcohol. I wouldn't use the term "psychedelic" for its effects-- the biochemical pathways are different as well.

Heard it messes up your bladder.

The metabolites burn your bladder severely enough that you can end up pissing blood. The body load seems to be high as well, frequent users look grey and washed-out, and it damages your cognition.

Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term.

I've known a few. They started fiending like junkies, lost jobs, destroyed relationships. It's a dirty drug and, unless you're getting professional treatment for PTSD, the best advice I can give is to avoid it and to avoid people who use it.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 minutes ago

I have some ketamine using friends, it is still way better than coke. I tried it once but dis not feel it’s effect at all 😆 the one who invited me explained it’s effect as I describe my neurodivergence symptoms 🤣 we came to the conclusion that it may makes non neurodivergent people just a bit neurodivergent 🤪

But we were stoned at a music festival, so there is that

Right wing asshole shows to the world again that they never improved and are even more of a right wing asshole.

This is why I never used Brave anything longer than a brief look. Fuck this dude, I'm glad Mozilla removed him.
