messes with your digestive cycle and appetite, puts extra wear on your heart
causes memory loss due to lack of REM
If you look at a brain that is sleep deprived you see low levels of brain damage
Less synaptic shearing, buildups of brain plaque
interferes with the ability to learn unless it's using pathways you already have (ie. learning a new programming language when you can already program is ok)
i'm on so many meds i get that regardless. i forget what words mean
basically it fucks your brain up in a very serious way that looks somewhat like a very mild case of dementia or alzheimers'
or know the meaning but not the word
everyone gets that to some extent
apparently alz can only be really diagnosed post mortem
particularly over 30
i'm 38
we're near the same age
i used to abuse benadryl so I'm probably gonna get dementia by age 40
i did a lot of dxm as a kid
dxm is also pretty bad for you if you use it frequently
4th plateau and beyond too many times
i experimented with LSD quite a bit, as well as reprogramming myself socially so i could make eye contact and say what i meant
Ah, I did none of that because I am not a socially awkward degenerate
yeah, your syntax clearly says that about you
don't know if anyone on discord can say they aren't a degenerate
admit it to yourself, it's easier
Discord is just the new IRC
^
agreed, it's just got a better interface (edit: set of possibilities and support) and system of server-channel-user management
still, i miss the DOSsy look
bashy
And how lightweight the clients are
Although computing power is cheap enough these days
I could go for some ice cream right now
Haven't had any in ages

simpler too, it was all pretty much the same anyway since BBS and then someone made a RFC of it
fucking hashtags were irc shit too
they were channel names
yeah but now since twitter it's all differenty
i hate the term "hashtags"
like twitter redefined the word
I read them as pound
