  • I’m in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I’ll never be in the Top 1%.

    Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

    Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

    With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.





  • My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It’s like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.

    In my nightmares, there’s a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it’s not even according to their whims, it’s simply a price for existing.

    I’d go on but it’s too spooky and sad.

    The rest of the time life’s pretty good.

    I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

    The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

    Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

    I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.
