> but refuse to educate or train themselves to continue to be relevant as jobs evolve

Just learn to code lol ^/s

The robot wouldn’t forget the tools to begin with lol

Yep. That’s exactly what I said. Word for word.

> breadth of experience which I’d hazard is larger than most people’s.

I haven’t met a single person who’s tried acid and been against it in the manner you are. Not one.

> cultural juggernaut it became in the 60s and 70s

Psychedelics were a “cultural juggernaut” back then because “war on drugs” propaganda wasn’t being shoved down the throats of Americans. They could actually think for themselves back then.

> had ties to intelligence services or their experiments.

What are you basing that on? Leary was arrested and widely hated for his views/use of psychedelics. You know those experiences you’re referencing used a ridiculous dose of acid paired with psychological torture. It wasn’t the acid itself at all.

> villains

The world isn’t a comic book lol

> were verified or rumored to be connected as well

They were already vulnerable when they were psychologically abused by the CIA under the influence of incomprehensible doses of psychedelics without their consent

> happened since the CIA had those files destroyed.

Why do you think that is? Same government that has relentlessly pushed propaganda against only certain drugs they can’t profit off of. Ones that free the mind and endanger the established order.

You don’t seem to have this same disdain for alcohol. I have yet to see a single study pointing to the positive mental health effects of alcohol.

Are all of those positive studies about psychedelics also funded by the CIA? The same government that lists marijuana as a schedule 1 substance?

“Trust me bro”

Then what are you basing the view of it being mentally destabilizing on?

You’ve never tried it lol. Mushrooms are way more of an emotional rollercoaster than acid.

> Nothing was added to any of the comments

Convenient way to avoid answering any question I asked.

> Nobody was thrown onto the tracks yesterday.

I never said anyone was. It’s very telling (and embarrassing) that you can only repeat that one sentence (as if I made the claim).

It also, once again, proves my point about your defense of direct threats of violence (among which is indicative of a dismissive attitude towards crime and untreated mental illness in the city). It all goes back to your savior complex.

How am I blowing anything out of proportion? I said someone threatened me yesterday. That’s just a fact. I also pointed out that the commenter would probably care about subway pushings if it affected them directly (if someone they loved was pushed for example). Only then would it become an issue. How is that blowing anything out of proportion? I already know you’re not going to answer the question lol

Edit: downvoted before they even had time to read the full comment 🤡

That’s not an answer to my question. You proved what I said lol

Edit: yikes! going back and adding to their comments lol. I never said you excused the behavior of being thrown on the tracks. I never said I was thrown on the tracks (obviously lol. Those individuals can’t speak for themselves anymore tho).

Here’s another question you can’t answer: how is that not excusing direct threats of being pushed onto subway tracks? You’re doubling down on your defense.

Another response that just presents a new & foolish question while avoiding any answers lmao. Look back at your own comments. You’re incapable of answering basic questions.

You excused the behavior because he didn’t go through with pushing me… which is laughable. Subway pushings like those of Michelle Go are also being dismissed as “oNlY fOuR”

Once again, though, that wasn’t my point. Also, you haven’t answered a single question I asked. All of your responses are just more questions.

What hysterics? What do you gain with this savior complex towards the city & defensive behavior? Why are you obsessed with denying a problem that is evident both quantitatively and anecdotally?

What hysterics? Can you elaborate on that statement? You did defend that behavior but that’s not what I said you did. You didn’t answer the question btw. I think you have this strange savior complex towards the city though.

Is it not a problem that untreated mentally ill individuals are threatening to throw random commuters onto the tracks?

You can’t keep dismissing every crime as “look how many people are in the city!!”

Once again, what do you have to gain by defending that behavior? Please answer that question.

Do you think nyc will die without your heroic defense on Reddit?

It’s not a problem until you’re thrown onto the tracks. I was threatened with it just yesterday.

The crime denial in this sub is hilarious. It’s like nyc is some defenseless old lady in need of your moral support.

> 32k the equivalent of minimum wage

Disgusting salary for this city in this era

Very depressing. Well said!

My bad. Thanks for the info!

That’s a strong word for what those stores are. One step above a table on the sidewalk.

What? They’re doing exactly what this economy has enabled them to do.

You think America intervenes in other countries with respect to their history and culture?

These investors just want to make money. That’s the beginning and end of the story. Your politicians are selling your culture.

Are you voting for her?

At least 2 just in midtown alone over the last few weeks
