The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Oh, that was not my intention, there are far better drugs than K, even some, which don’t destroy your body.

But when I compare friends who use coke vs who use K, well, there is a big difference. Coke using people tend to get on my nerves (even if they are not on coke right now) and get dumber in some ways, while with people using K, I don't have that.

Coke using people tend to get on my nerves

Coke use increases aggression and paranoia. My baseline behavioral profile is laid-back and slightly goofy. On coke, I'm a raging, sarcastic, borderline-violent dickhead. Luckily, I had enough self-awareness and self-discipline to walk away from it.

My own experience with K users is much less positive than yours. I won't even let them in my house, and it saddens me to see how wilted and lifeless they become after habitual use. It might possibly have some value in a controlled clinical setting, but as a recreational drug, it's shite.

😃 very good to hear that you managed to get away from coke 🫶🏻

Yea, maybe it more manageable to consume K responsible than coke but on heavy use it goes in a similar direction 🤔

But nonetheless, everyone reading this, stay away from K, coke, Xanax, benzodiazepines, meth, opiates and all the other that I forgot, those are all very dangerous.
