If you have the option, fill out the mail in ballot at home, but then bring it into an official ballot drop off location.

Tell that to Martha Stewart and Elon Musk.

SEC isn't a savior, but they do enforce the law when it's blatant.

If there's a single copy of a comic book that sells for $1,000 that doesn't mean you can sell 100 of them for that price.

If there's a couple dozen shares of a stock selling for $15, that doesn't mean there's enough buyers to pay for a million of them at that price.

If trump dumps all his shares, the stock price will crash, and eventually there won't be ANYONE to buy the stock and the price will be effectively $0.

A bunch of that paper is over my head - but they do seem to say that the change is sustained ~~(with or without more doses???)~~ EDIT: single dose has lasting effects /EDIT and that there may be encouragement for increases in social engagement for ASD humans with a therapeutic LSD dose.

Someone has to buy the stock that he sells. It doesn't magically turn into money cause it has a listed value that day.

Sure, there can be some money laundering and foreign "investments" but the SEC really doesn't like stock manipulation.

You are not immune.

You do, and don't fool yourself that you don't.

You probably don't click on ads, but they stick in your brain. You might see a half-dozen ads for Doritos, and then when you go to the store a week later, you're slightly more likely to buy Doritos.

The vast majority of advertising is just getting a brand or an idea into the back of your head so when you're looking for something in that product category, regardless of it's a VPN, a web host, a snack food, a car, or whatever, you're going to have a bias towards what you've seen in the past.

Most of my ad-blocking isn't to stop myself from buying some herbal supplement/spray tanner combo, it's to stop myself from being biased by the capitalist propaganda machine.

I am not immune from advertisements, and neither are you.

That's also only assuming that one person is doing that 2 minute task. If you automate a 2 minute task for 5 people, then it's only 1 year.
