Why do the people trying to rearrange the meaning of the term "racism" always seem to also be racist in terms of the traditional meaning, which is discriminating against others based on race.
Anecdotal counterpoint: I was in a rut much like the OP, and took a half year off to explore psychedelic drugs, music festivals, and local art culture. A couple of good acid trips really reset my expectations on reality and gave me some much needed grounding.
With my newfound perspective, I took some professional risks that were extremely advantageous in the long run. I likely would not have seen the options, or have the fortitude to try them without a my sabbatical.
Never try this if you are depressed and looking for a quick-fix to your issues though. If you are bored, scared of change, or unsure how to make life choices, then I would suggest a good ole' high-dose acid trip in the woods.
Also, buy a cheap road bike and ride it 100 miles straight. Seriously, it will change your life.
Tolerance builds so quickly that it literally won't work taken too close together. There aren't physical cravings either.
I feel that it could certainly be done too frequently, but it's very resistant to being addictive. I suspect it would be easier to get addicted to tylonal. I can't comment on other research chemicals, which are often sold under the label of LSD.
Alcohol is well-known to be addictive and has organizations such as alcoholics anonymous to get help.
Could you elaborate? I've been surrounded by regular drug users for at least a decade at this point, and I've see dependency/addiction to all sorts of drugs, including those that are often considered non-addictive. And that's not even counting addiction to gaming, food, sex, and so on.
I have not encountered a single case where someone appeared to be dependent on or addicted to acid. Sure, some people used it a little more than I'd consider healthy, but calling that an addiction or even a dependency would be stretching it.
jQuery has a nice efficient event delegation mechanism, that lets you listen for events on elements that don't even exist yet, by specifying selector patterns and listening on the root element with a few global event handlers, instead of adding listeners to every leaf element as it's created. It does all the bookkeeping and event handling in one place, so it saves a lot of memory and time. So not only does it work consistently across all browsers, but it also doesn't suck!
It has zero effect on my workflow though. I can run Chrome, Safari (for testing), Outlook, Slack, music streaming, etc. without any slowdown when developing with Atom.
Edit: Just checked, after using Atom for two days straight it is currently occupying 80MB of ram. Anecdotally, the claim that Atom is a resource hog is actually wrong.
