HOTD is so refreshing after the disappointing final seasons of GoT. I didn't have high expectations for it but it's been some of the best television I've seen years.
> House of Dragon ... created by suits strictly from a financial or business point of view and have absolutely no soul to them.
This doesn't apply to House of the Dragon. They've done a great job adapting and expanding upon the source material. It does not feel soulless. These are rich worlds created by talented authors who've dedicated their lives to building them out. Audiences are happy to see these worlds explored further.
Looking at listings for pure sodium nitrate, I don't see any of the "frequently bought together" suicide kit items they mention. When I search for "suicide" there's a "Suicide and Crisis Lifeline" banner shown:
Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
You're not alone. Confidential help is available for free.
When I search "sodium nitrite pure" on Amazon the first page of results all are sodium nitrate. For the actual "nitrite" listings, my points stands. There are no weird recommendations.
I think it's totally fine for Amazon to sell lab-grade chemicals regardless of whether there's a common household use for them. I've personally bought chemicals like this for use in an aquarium.
It makes absolutely no sense to blame neutral 3rd parties in someone's suicide. If Amazon's "frequently bought together" feature suggested anti-vomiting agents and a book discussing suicide techniques, that's a pretty unfortunate and I'd really like to see a screenshot proof, but doesn't change the fact that person likely had acquired all the information they needed independently. These personal injury are grifters preying on grieving families.
Their claim that "Amazon is a serial killer" is one of the most ridiculous and hyperbolic things I've read in a while.
Psychedelics are not a street drug. The majority of people struggling with addiction use crack cocaine, crystal meth, and opioids. Those are not decriminalized (technically).
Anyone considering investing in Regetti should take a look at the company's negative reviews on glassdoor. They paint a picture of a highly disfunctional organization struggling with behind-the-curve tech driven on hubris and the ego of its founder. Some people note the irony of him being married to the famous Uber whistleblower while creating a corporate culture that's comprable to early Uber in many ways.
Rigetti investors are trying to dump this mess onto retail. Be cautious.
Yea I’ve heard horror stories from friends. CEO writing “athletic, no kids, submissive like a ** woman” in his internal job description for an executive assistant.
To be fair, Glassdoor always has negative comments for most companies due to the reporting bias (only disappointed employees take the effort to voice their concerns).
It is a cliche amongst recruiters around the dreaded Glassdoor questions during hiring process.
