For what it’s worth, I’ve been actively involved in psychedelics for almost 51 years, so I trust even you will be able to deduce that I’m unfortunately the opposite of a teenager.
I already admitted that I opted for a rather inappropriate way to express an opinion that was (rightfully) misinterpreted and tried to better express what I was trying to get at.
You are free to completely dismiss that attempt as well, but please don’t try to bring seniority into this.
- Comment on Psychedelic Truth 2 weeks ago:
I agree. I tried to hint at it, but I should have probably formulated it less dismissively, less absolute. That’s on me.
What I wanted to express is the unfortunately very common notion that each beneficial trip, or any trip really, has to be a pleasant experience, and that’s simply not true.

So, what did your integration look like? Did you talk to a professional about this? That’s the part most people seem to leave out, and without that, well…
- Comment on Psychedelic Truth 2 weeks ago:
As the meme says, there are no bad trips. If you’re serious about psychedelics and not simply taking drugs for entertainment, you’ll always get the trip you need, but not necessarily the trip you wanted.
A “bad” trip just means you either needed to process some difficult stuff, or you might have violated a bunch of rules regarding set and setting. In both cases, you get the expected outcome.
Honestly, difficult trips are often the most rewarding since they help break up stuck patterns of thinking and behavior or bring things to the light you’ve been trying to hide from yourself whose repression caused internal suffering etc.
This always assumes you’ve done your homework and you don’t suffer from e. g. preexisting medical conditions. If you’re schizophrenic and take psychedelics, you might have an actual bad trip, that’s a completely different story, naturally.

I can confirm, this is a pretty old picture. Also, all connections are clearly visible, I don’t even know what the comment is referring to.

I went through so much bullshit, it’s the last guilty pleasure I have in this world. I deserve at least that.

- Comment on Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it 3 months ago:
If only. My wife’s phone is affected by a Google battery recall. You basically get $50 of shut-up money and get to live with a software update that nerfs your phone to an almost unusable state, or you can try and have a local, approved repair shop replace the faulty battery.
We’re living in a large city, there is exactly one approved store available. You can’t contact them by email, no one has picked up the phone in weeks. She is close taking the $50.

Even having a funny and weird relationship with my mother, this would be suuuuper cringe. And inappropriate.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
What? We’re not talking about death here, what kind of a reply is that? We’re talking about making a decision at a very young age that might have irreversible consequences, a decision many 20yos are simply ill equipped to make, in particular, when alternatives exist.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
No, they’re not always reversible. You can opt for one that isn’t, and even if you decide to go for it, it might simply not work.

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I’d love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

Yeah, please don’t get your health information (aka half-truths) from social media. Start with an easily accessible source, e. g.

… and if necessary, research from there.

- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 5 months ago:
Ah shit. I swear to god, this just happened to me. I came to. the comments, confused why a trailer for Outer Wilds 2 would be age-restricted.
Ugh.
But then again, you cleared up my confusion, so I guess. there’s that.
- Comment on Anon reads between the lines 5 months ago:
- Quiet comes into frame, PoV happens to focus on the bucket so the first thing that to end up in the center are her boobs
- Quiet leaves, someone thought the player needed a power zoom on her ass and added a matching sound to it
- They made her hum and dance in a jail cell, while randos in the background mumble *Oh, she’s a hot girl, what I wouldn’t do… *
Honestly, the zoom gets me the most. Why was that added? How do you get away with something like that?

In the same vein, I’d like to remind people that feminism is also for men.
As a start, I think bell hooks’ The Will to Change can be a good intro.

… and you could easily fix the whole situation by having the shed run a male extension cord out that could be plugged into the generator.
It would also be infinitely more whimsical, since it’d make the shed look like a little appliance with its own chord. Or paint everything and call it a tail, the possibilities are endless.
“Well, let me just plug in the shed real quick”
- Comment on Grieve with me 6 months ago:
They’re absolutely right, that is the cause 85% of the time. Make sure to get a non-conductive pick made out of plastic or wood (e. g. literally a toothpick) and remove the dust by circling around the little protrusion, then clean the rounded corners with a little hooking motion.
- Comment on Tekken 8 lead has been trying to contact Waffle House for a collaboration for the past year - to no avail 6 months ago:
When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you’re guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.
Man, I’d love a Waffle House stage.

Once you have figured it out, it’s actually a nice workflow. Don’t get me wrong, when I’m not publishing a paper, I quickly forget all commands, my whole setup etc. and start from scratch, cursing a lot and retracing my steps in the. history, basically re-learning the framework. I’d still never move away from ggplot2.
