how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

Isn’t most of of Western Canada like the US South (Alberta = Texas), BC is like Washington/Oregon, maybe California?

cheese_greater,

Alberta seems a lot more like Texas culturally and economically and also politically

I want to more rigorously experiment with it and other compulsive things I have challenges with, it seems the opioidergic system mediates liking and the compulsive attachment that flows from that so I’m curious to what extent its effect is extensible to other problematic habits, chemical or otherwise

cheese_greater,

Thats why I’m doing this thread, its a labor of love and curiosity but I’m intrigued to hear everyone dish freely about such a mundanely “taboo” subject

cheese_greater,

Shit, I may have to try it first. Im getting other sleep stuff done but every bit helps

cheese_greater,

I gotta sleep soon aha but I’ll leave you with a last question for tonight: what do you think mediates Apigenin’s efficacy for sleep? Like what is the mechanism behind its efficacy, what systems does it modulate?

Thanks and no rush, I’ll listen to that article tomorrow :)

cheese_greater,

It seems as if _B ligands are both way less ubiquitous and also variably less-reinforcing than traditional alcohol-type sedatives like benzos/barbs/sleeps, although I say that very conjecturally (is that a word? Aha). And less likely to be overdone to the point the therapeutic window is being dangerously exceeded or a polypharmacy situation that leads to medical emergency like that

From my own experience with baclofen which I used to wean off drinking and help with the induced anxiety, I didn’t really find it super pleasent or enjoyable and there were enough annoying sides like tearing up and a crappy fuzziness that was super offputting. Alcohol and sedatives (especially sleeping pills), totes different story (I find them as a class GABA_A way more dangerous and mindlessly compulsive.

Thanks and I will check those out. Does the flumazenil displace GABA_B ligands/receptors as well or only _A?

Thats all for tonight, night

cheese_greater,

Yeah, ask about baclofen, its famously advocated by a French dr who struggled to find a proper treatment for his alcoholism until he arrived on baclofen. End of My Addiction is the title.

I used it as an adjuvant treatment along with naltrexone and careful timing in terms of the actual drinking that was required to make the naltrexone effective in addressing the neurochemical basis for much of the compulsion from alcohol.

Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?

I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and...

cheese_greater,

Thank you for being the adult in the room :)

How do most Israelis feel about the West Bank or are they aware of it?

Is the West Bank the foundational issue/disagreement?

cheese_greater, (edited )

That’s what I was referencing. Not that I want to say Israel is blameless or the West Bank expansion shit isn’t straight up evil colonialism shit, but its harder to write them off if they’re putting their own children in harms way in the furtherance of what I would otherwise dismiss as plain geopolitical thieving.

cheese_greater,

Mabe morally correct isn’t quite the right notion. Maybe I was more getting at good faith plus worth the potential loss of a beloved member of their family for yhe greater good.

Its very easy to make abstract bloody decisions and send strangers children to war if it never hits close to home so I was playing with that notion as a nexus to getting a better understanding of why Israel would engage in Hydra-busting (West Bank expansion etc) if they were on the hook (in terms of their offsprings lives) for the collateral damage likely to result from such controversial and perilous efforts

cheese_greater, (edited )

That is absolute bullshit about the Heredi. Its like, ok you can live in this unlrotected/untaxed area and be self-governing. Best of luck, let the Lord ur God fight off your/his enemies 🙄

They are gonna have to form their own army and I suspect they’re way to freaking soft and parasitic to be able to do so unilaterally or even on Easy mode

Edit: do they at least pay taxes or are they basically a completely mooching cancer on Israeli society that just fucks and prays and creates sewage they dont bear the cost of?

cheese_greater, (edited )

This is kinda more what I’m obliquely referring to. Like, not like John F Kennedy who seems to have literally been involved in dangerous shit that got him significantly injured

cheese_greater,

K fine, SeaLand but it better have internet and proper food. Also I’m bringing my pets and Imma need AmazonPrime and all the credit I can eat

cheese_greater,

Can I afford it if I choose some place like Monaco?

cheese_greater, (edited )

continental treasure

cheese_greater, (edited )

This better not be a PFS thread. Be a man and get dutasteride, worked for Kutcher

cheese_greater,

You wanna check Primewire.id? I’m heading to bed

cheese_greater,

Can you give the settings path usually for this, I wanna see if my tv does it?

Like settings > motion > smoothing or what?

cheese_greater, (edited )

I guess we’ll find out 😈 U wanna make the call?

cheese_greater,

So glad everythings up for grabs that easily
