https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)

The term was coined by the programmers at MIT's Project MAC. According to Fernando J. Corbató, who worked on Project MAC in 1963, his team was the first to use the term daemon, inspired by Maxwell's demon, an imaginary agent in physics and thermodynamics that helped to sort molecules, stating, "We fancifully began to use the word daemon to describe background processes that worked tirelessly to perform system chores".[2] Unix systems inherited this terminology. Maxwell's demon is consistent with Greek mythology's interpretation of a daemon as a supernatural being working in the background.

Being high also increases the pleasure from foods, in my experience. One time my wife made chocolate chip pancakes while we were high and they were legit the best thing I'd ever eaten, but looking back on a photo I took of them they look like they probably weren't very great.

No, it doesn't. It makes people discount anything you say because all you're trying to do is draw attention to yourself. You end up being ignored and nobody cares about your message since the things you say are terrible.

You'd think they'd just use Spotify then instead of hunting music boats

You can just look at this post and see how they try to scare people into not drinking cows milk through fear of autism, which is some ablest bullshit. This is literally no better than anti-vax rhetoric.

Mostly people who can't lose a job or they'll be deported

Incredible, been missing this from Apollo!

Yes. He still can be, he just didn't consider himself to be so because he's Jewish.

No, he hated Jews but believed he couldn't be antisemitic because he was Jewish, which is pretty dumb.

Not having poisoned water tends to be pretty fucking beneficial
