Was your mom a teenager in the 80s?

Yes, I agree. And I said as much in a comment below. It was all me being sarcastic, and forgetting that sarcasm doesn’t really translate through the internet, lol. It was all jokes.

May have something to do with the massive Northern Virginia Data Center having an outage. Like 1/3 of the internet is not working correctly right now.

Ahhhhhhh, I see. That makes sense!

It’s not good for trauma. The reason is because it is extremely short acting (within about 10-15 minutes depending, you are back at baseline) so there is little to no time to do the work and to do the integration of the experience. Psilocybin remains the gold standard for psychedelic assisted therapy and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Also, a lot of people freak out on DMT because it hits so quickly and so incredibly hard. Lastly, it almost always leaves people with some varying level of amnesia about the experience, so even if you did manage to have a breakthrough or work things out, you would almost certainly forget as soon as you were sober again.

How long ago did you take the screenshot? Because I am signed in to two of those services right now and they are working 100% fine.

It was all jokes. I am certainly not a victim of that sort of propaganda.

I abused the living shit out of ketamine and a ton of it’s analogues for over a decade. For about 6 years there during the worst of it, if I was conscious, I was at some varying level of highness off of ketamine and/or any number of ketamine analogues literally 24/7/365 for years and years on end. I know that it is physically extremely safe, with the exception of the urinary tract effects.

I’ve never abused opiates myself (don’t like the feeling), but I have a ton of friends who did and/or still do. You’re right though, there is no real, even remotely pure heroin around where I live, and there hasn’t been for the better part of a decade. It’s all fent and fent analogues and nitazenes. Or so my friends tell me, that is.

I get the viper reference, lulz

And heroin’s just an opiate! And PCP and Ketamine are just anaesthetics!

That got really dark, really quick. I also did not know that.

X is a cesspool of a lot of right wing BS (I’ve just learned to ignore it) but it also has large groups of people who are interested in basically all of the more niche things that I am interested in. Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. just do not even come remotely close unfortunately.

That dude is awesome on X. I recently followed him and he is hilarious imo.

That was a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

When we sleep, we are absolutely in an altered state of consciousness. Some say that we are unconscious, while others argue that we are somewhere between being conscious and unconscious.

It really do be like that sometimes.

Any of the 5 or 6 cheap wireless hotspots listed in the link in the article.

Because it is imperative that most people uphold the social contract that we were all born into.

Finally, a real example of a Showerthought!
