  i swallow it after 15min lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy journey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  hell yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy journey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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 >:|

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science wins again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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 potion pills 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

  it blew my tiny mind when i found out that there are multiple dwarf planets in long solar orbits in our system

  they might be small and enjoy solitude but why are we forgetting about them???

  and now apparently there’s also a dwarf planet in the inner solar system that nobody talks about??? rude

  eh, not everyone will get the meaning the first time they encounter a new usage, but if it makes sense to most people it’ll be used more

  experienced kinksters in the process of being seduced would be on high alert looking for any and all red flags or attempts to push their boundaries. because though seduction is hot - if a stranger does it to impress you, you should be paying close attention to what they do next

  i always use this as an example of how deeply the languages we use shape how we understand the world

  even the answer to the question “how many fingers do you have?” changes depending on the language, and that’s a physical fact that seems to not have any degree of subjectivity to it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accidental rapture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Eve was made from a man’s rib, so in a way at first she was a clone of his flesh, XY chromosomes and all. The bible does not elaborate on how the abrahamic god made her into a woman, she was able to bear children so there was definitely a change made to the “original” masculine reproductive system, but we don’t know at what stage of her becoming a being that occured. Either way though - Adam’s rib was transed by god themself into a woman.

  now i’m wondering how all the christian terfs would react if someone said that trans women are actually the original women

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fan of GabeN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  still doesn’t change the fact that that’s not a game for kids, and the adults for whom that game was made can make as many bad decisions with their money as they can afford

  i’m not in favour of gambling for children don’t get me wrong, in fact i was once a victim of it (thanks to wizard101, a game advertised as and marketed for children), but Valve just did not enage in that. if a child is playing a game that’s clearly marked “M” or “PEGI 18” then it’s the parents’ responsibility to figure out if its something appropriate for their child

  nahhh, lootboxes existed before CS:GO or TF2. and neither was supposed to be for kids in the first place! card games like MTG were one of the first mass created to use those mechanics

  you know what was supposed to be for kids, had (& still has) lootboxes galore and other predatory monetisation tactics? Wizard101 (2008)

  i don’t see many people complaining about MtG or Wizard101, but folks love to point out how Gaben did a bad thing by taking something that was already a concept (that people liked) and making it digital, whereby he accidentally created something he could never uncreate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  vegetable flavoured water? thinnest of broths? realistically, we call it nothing because what would you even do with something that’s 15% vegetable puree and 85% water? my only idea would be to add more vegetables to make it into something, or to use it as i’d use regular water to boil other vegetables or make cook pasta in it
