if i heard such requirements i’d immediately write my password down on paper, and then just leave it on my desk slightly out of sight of the IT team. and i bet most of my coworkers would do the same
which tbf, wouldn’t even be that dangerous. i don’t know if this is still true but i was taught that if a hacker has physical access to my machine - a password is going to do fuck all

- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 2 weeks ago:
if Aang had to kill Ozai he wouldn’t be smiling and waving after Zuko’s coronation, he most likely wouldn’t even decide to try again with Katara, the story would be forced to turn very dark, very fast, and would need to be given time and space to breathe
final minutes of the last episode are not the time to have a character break their core values, not without a season’s worth of set up to get you to that point
- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 2 weeks ago:
the thing is- Aang himself understands that his strict adherence to his values is not always a positive thing, i remember in one of the comics (or a later season) he outright calls it his own flaw
if not for the lion turtle giving him an alternative moments before, he’d have to either kill, or watch the world be destroyed
he later has to face that flaw again (actually this time) in the big graphic novels that came out, they’re really good btw. give them a read if you have the time to spare

i swallow it after 15min lol
- Comment on The holy journey 3 weeks ago:
huh alright, i remember reading somewhere that it’d take longer/have worse effects if you sucked on a tab instead of just keeping it rested somewhere in your mouth. never really thought to look up if it’s true or not as yk, keeping a piece of paper rested on my gums is just easy so, always went with that
- Comment on The holy journey 3 weeks ago:
hell yeah
- Comment on The holy journey 3 weeks ago:
alternatively you can just keep a tab on your tongue or between your gums and you won’t have to wait a few hours, just roughly one hour
(lsd absorbs wherever it is in your body, but your mouth is closer to your brain where you want it ending up)

different trans man here, it’s not the penis, i’m fine with my bottom bits,
but i’d still like that cocaine please, maybe this stimulant would actually wake me up instead of making me sleepy >:|

it’s just shocking enough to stay in your mind without making you numb to it
it’s not violent or gore-ish, your brain won’t block it for your own good. it’s just a niche kink
- Comment on yeet 3 weeks ago:
the thing that mentally exhausts me the most is guilt - guilt of undone chores, guilt of unfinished projects, guilt of unfulfilled “potential”. attempting to rest when surrounded with guilt is exhausting too
i’m working on it of course, but it’s a rather slow climb, with plenty of holes on the way. and if it was just internal that’d be half the problem it is, because on top of all the personal guilt i also need to push back against the culture of grind and constant productivity (which is, in itself, a big source of guilt)
the only way is through
unless i give in to the temptation, fake my death, and join a buddhist monastery in tibet or something idk - Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo 3 weeks ago:
well, since we’re getting into technicalities - they would be on acid, but they wouldn’t be tripping
- Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo 3 weeks ago:
back when LSD wasn’t demonised by the US government and people were free to study it - scientists found out that after about a week of taking the same dose you’d feel 0 effects. our bodies build up tolerance to LSD crazy fast
idk how true that is but i’ve seen people online say that if you want the same effects day after you need to double what you took the day previous
- Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo 3 weeks ago:
LSD is a substance of extremes, the drug simply opens your mind and shows you what’s inside, it doesn’t care if you like the view or not
so we’d see more loving people yes, but the hateful people would have fear invoked in them like never before which would only fuel them
- Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo 3 weeks ago:
depends on the dose, if someone chugged water to get themselves above 100ug then they’d notice. but if they stayed ~50ug for the first few days then indeed nobody would notice, especially because after said week they’d have enough tolerance for that amount to do fuck all

important note:
placebo is caused by a strong belief, even if logically you know it’s not real it can still work
but
you first need the strong belief. how do you get such a strong belief? with a ritual of course. not necessarily one with bubbling cauldrons during the full moon (though if you believe in that kind of magic that’d work as well) but one that has you going to a place you associate with health, and talking to a person in a special outfit that you believe will fix you, then going to a secondary health place, and getting the health
potionpills from someone in a special outfit. also called - going to a doctor and picking up meds from a pharmacy.this entire process sets up the right environment for strongly believing you’re going to feel better now, and then the sugar pills supercharged with placebo will work like magic.
they will also work if at some point either the doctor or the pharmacist whispers to you “btw that’s just placebo”. that’s because the belief you’ve already established is much stronger than your logic
but if you just go out and buy tictacs at a gas station then chant to yourself “this will cure my headache this will cure my headache” it won’t work, because you didn’t have an opportunity to establish any emotional belief about them ie. you didn’t manage to convince the emotional part of your brain that it’ll work
this is also why homeopathy, essential oils, charging crystals, and other purely belief bases approaches work despite the thing itself not doing anything. the rituals surrounding those things simply manage to build a strong enough belief that causes the placebo effect
the same is true for the opposite - nocebo - if you strongly believe something is going to make you feel bad - it’s going to
