This really is the worst timeline.

Until a few years ago it felt like things were bad, but it was predictably bad. Books, films and tv series gave us a glimpse of what might come in the near future, and we kept pointing to prior art. "This is just like Black Mirror".

I've been looking around and feeling like the amount of progress in the past few years in mass data collection and processing, combined with more aggressively applied AI techniques have left speculative dystopia genre a bit behind. I can't see good ideas that predict where we will end up in the next 10 or 20 years.

I'm looking for recommendations for good speculative and dystopian science fiction. I say like William Gibson

r/ADHD•

Hello all,

I've recently been diagnosed and got prescribed 30mg Elvanse (brand name for Vyvanse in this country) and started taking it. I struggled quite a bit in the first few weeks specially, not taking it every day and giving long breaks in between.

It took me two months to go through a bottle. The last two weeks I'd take it 5 days during the week and not during the weekend.

In between I went through a parade of side effects, apart from the usual dry-mouth. I was high for most of the first week (literally on speed) and the second week I had arrhythmia. I went to my PT and we literally outran arrhythmia whilst he monitored my heart rate and blood pressure. I ran to the bus one day an

Hello r/bicycling,

I've just bought a bike and got myself a standard 10% Kryptonite lock with it's cable. I rode it back home and was going to lock it at the shed in the back.

Unfortunately, the shed only had front-wheel locks that look a bit flimsy. And there were a couple of horror scenes.

Anyway, it's not easy to get in the back of the building but not too hard either - as you can see from the nicked bike parts.

What's the best strategy to lock your bike in this shed? I'm keeping it in my hallway today because I'm not getting my new fucking bicycle

Hello r/nootropics,

I rarely use phenylpiracetam but it seems to have lost it's effect entirely. I take one every once in a while to get me through a crunch time, but I don't get the same benefits anymore.

First time I took them about 1,5 years ago, I'd have this amazing tunnel vision concentration and a bit of a high afterwards. The second time I took a few days after was similar. Up until 3-4 months ago, I've taken maybe another 5 with similar effects. But last few times in the past 3-4 months it suddenly isn't making the slightest difference. I don't even feel any different.

It can't be because of the tolerance build-up, I presume, because I do it rarely. I've taken choline bitartra

r/travel•

I'm heading over to the far East for the first two weeks of April with a mate. Our current plan is LON ->Beijing -> Tokyo -> Osaka/Kyoto -> Hong Kong -> LON. We're keeping the plans a bit loose for now to make sure we've got enough time for interesting/last minute adventures.

I'm looking for suggestions and tips. Anything we should do/look out for?

r/headphones•

Hello r/headphones,

I'm looking for a good pair of headphones to use outside. What I'm looking for is:

  • Circumaural
  • Closed back (don't want to be "that guy" on the tube)
  • Good outside noise isolation (not noise cancelling though)
  • Bonus points for iPhone mic/controls
  • Easy to pack

I don't really have much of a budget concern. Just need a good pair. A bit about myself:

  • Gone through 4 pairs of Sennheiser HD 202's at work, took them out occasionally but the long cable is hard to manage.
  • Got myself a pair of Sennheiser HD 238 because they sounded better than 228 or 218, but can't use it much because of the open backed design. Useless.
  • At home, I mostly listen to FLACs through
