ahh it’s such a funny thing to be able to say “the drugs told me to stop doing drugs”.

my first lsd trip told me to love myself more; quite literally too, i was just about to fall into ego death and i saw a second myself in the dark void of mind who faced me and said “love yourself more”. One hell of a first trip ngl

goodness how much better the world would be if shakes fist the US government! didn’t stop psychedelics research, we could have proper psychedelics assisted therapy by now. An LSD trip on its own already feels like doing 6 months of normal therapy but in the span of 8 hours, and when you intentionally therapise yourself during it? Make that a year of therapy in 8 hours. Imagine what we could achieve if there was a trained professional there to assist you.

beautiful thank you

i think it’s at least in part because we have always been taught to see Hitler as a monster instead of a person. We dehumanised him and the entire nazi party so much for many it sounds like a myth instead of history, the take away seems simple - just don’t be a monster.

The lesson was - some people are born evil

Instead of - anybody can fall the wrong path and find themselves committing atrocities. Even your friends, even your family, even you

i’ve been saying this for a long time - Hitler wasn’t a monster, he was human just like you and me, and that’s a hundred times more terryfing

human bones usually come in sets of 206

why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things

what a brave new world we live in eh?..

same way placebo still works (to a degree) even when you know it’s placebo

your subconcious is not logical, and no amount of conscious logic will fully defeat its influence

to think yourself immune is foolish and dangerous, that’s when you allow it to work even better as you “logically” explain away every manipulation you were influenced by, and convince yourself you made a decision fully by yourself. The danger gets even hotter when it comes to political propaganda that uses the exact same tricks as marketing

not just cheaper though

even subconsciously $15.55 will not be that better than $15.56

but in a change from $20 to $19.99 the whole first number is smaller, and that gives our ape brains the feeling that it’s not as expensive

to reveal the vibes your brain operates on, think about bigger numbers. Imagine yourself to be in kind of a rush, you want to buy something, but family is waiting, or you need to walk your dog, or maybe you’re doing shopping before work, regular life stuff,

first scenario

an identical item is sold for $2920 in the first store you visit, and for $2970 in the second store you visit. The stores are an inconvenient travel time away from each other. Do you go back to the first store?

second scenario

now, an identical item is sold for $2975 in the first store you visit, and for $3025 in the second store you visit. The stores are still an inconvenient travel time away from each other. Do you go back to the first store?

though the difference is still $50, the jump from $2975 to $3025 feels more significant than $2920 to $2970. And obviously many of us will go back to get the cheaper option in both cases, but there’s a lot of people on this planet who have money to spare but not the time, and a lot of other circumstances too, marketing people know it and will do their damnest to sway you to buy their product

i’m baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they’ll never see? do they even know this is what’s happening?

maybe most bones but all that is needed to raise suspicion is one uneaten human bone in your pig pen - case of a woman who fed at least one person to her pigs

waaaaayyyyy less grindy/waity than graveyard keeper

most of the times the difference between me and a cis man is not important, so i simply say i’m a man. Sometimes the difference is important, and then i clarify i’m a trans man

90% of the time and most people i meet will have no idea i’m transgender, the other 10 are doctors, people i want to have sex with, and those i’ve talked with about trans experiences

arguably that could even be more difficult. I’m pretty sure in South Korea they have to keep North Korean escapees separated from everyone else for a few months as they introduce them to technology, re-reeducate them, and teach them how to live in a regular society.

The culture shock and sudden information overflow can easily cause someone to shut off and refuse to take anything new in

hi, i’d like to unread your post please

homophobes think about gay sex a lot huh?

tap on it and turn on the HD view, helps

could be good old photoshop. First results doing a reverse image search show 2022, which was well before the AI boom

after the goose comes a swan, which though bigger, tougher, and stronger, has chilled the hell out a bit

after a swan then comes the Canadian goose, which even though it appears to be a return to goose, it’s actually the might of a swan, and the rage of a 100 regular geese

it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we’re living in

but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don’t think there’d be that many trump supporters
