AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of forgetting painful memories, particularly in the context of relationships, as inspired by the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Participants share personal experiences of struggling to forget past relationships and the emotional turmoil that can accompany them. The conversation raises a medical question about the effectiveness of hypnosis in erasing memories, noting that some individuals who experience trauma may not recall the events. While some suggest that finding a new partner can help in moving on, the primary inquiry focuses on whether hypnosis can facilitate forgetting painful memories.

easiest way to forget is to find another girl

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
