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

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

and how do you know that?

you feel like a victim because society is indeed oppressive towards LGBTQ minorities, but if you see yourself as a victim all the time you’ll just end up depressed and miserable.

no, Steam is not being biased against minorities, intentionally or otherwise, they’re just not. This feature was in beta for a long time and for most of the beta anybody could join any family from any country. The choice to make it more restricted wasn’t to fuck up people who don’t live with their families - it was to prevent the abuse of the feature that must’ve come to light during the beta.

Steam wanted to improve their family share, and the did, greatly in fact. But they had to include limitations to prevent cases where someone gets financially abused online, or someone joins a stranger’s family and then gets kicked out immediately and needs to wait 6 months join any other family, or someone joins a game hoarder’s family and then never buys a game again.

That limitation can still be worked around the good old way - by logging into another person’s machine and joining their family that way, but for that you need to trust the other person to not fuck up your account - and that’s enough to discourage most of the extreme cases. They’re just not going to beam that information to the public as that’d defeat the point of establishing that limitation in the first place, and even encourage people to trust random strangers that could have malicious intent.

look it up

drag, go touch grass. Seeing every minor inconvenience as a personal attack of the heteronormative patriarchy can’t be good for you

and again - I’m telling you this for the third time, you can go around the region lock.

as a trans person, can you not call everything that inconveniences you as a trans person transphobic? You’re devaluing the actual struggles we have to face with “i can’t play video game because of transphobia :(”. Besides, there are ways to go around the region lock, just Google the “transphobia” away

you can still try to go around it by doing the same as before, log into the other person’s machine
