This isn’t what you’re asking for, but Skyrim rp has really breathed new life into the game. Running around with hundreds of other people in a simulated feudal bureaucracy in the middle of a civil war is wild. I constantly forget I’m actually playing Skyrim.

We blew into Nintendo cartridges in the US too. It certainly did feel like it helped, but I imagine in reality the point of failure was the wobbly connection inside the console.

Though maybe the moisture was doing something?

It can be a bit easier on the stomach if you grind them up, mix them with honey, and let them sit for a few hours or overnight. It also saves you the trouble of converting the psilocybin into psilocin internally.

I don’t get the impression that the fungi that produce psilocybin mushrooms don’t want us to eat them. Also, the fruiting body is a relatively short-lived portion of the organism. While eating them may interfere with reproduction if they haven’t released their spores yet, it won’t kill the mycelium.

What is this, a Doogie Howser reboot made by CW?

Americans would be too angry about the one or two cars or motorcycles that might occasionally take advantage to be able to do this. Even merging results in a lot of grumpy drivers trying to prevent “cutting”.

Great idea, though.

Crazy that people in this thread are sooner to propose a cuckolding fetish by way of explanation rather than Starfleet just being enlightened enough that polyamory isn’t a big deal.

I really do like seeing so many older comics showing up on Lemmy a few at a time.

Personally, I’ve found that many people who say they support trans people with some caveat aren’t die-hard adherents to the position of the caveat. Many just haven’t ever actually talked to a trans person, and a single interaction can do a lot. When I used to drive a cab I was the only trans woman a lot of my passengers had ever had a substantial interaction with, and it seemed to have an impact.

Moopsy!

Why link the reddit thread instead of the actual source linked by the reddit thread?

I assumed they were just nerds who like referencing the things they like. Doesn’t really make a difference either way, as neither will make Musk any less or more pathetic.

Trolling is interacting with people, usually disingenuously, with the goal of eliciting a specific, usually negative, reaction. It certainly is possible to troll people by telling the truth (or without saying a word) and it’s certainly possible to be aiming for a reaction that isn’t negative, but usually there’s an element of being disingenuous to piss someone off.

Trolling is inevitable. Sometimes it’s politically motivated, sometimes it’s for fun, sometimes it’s literally a game with actual points. Some trolls are obvious, some are nearly impossible to tell from the genuine article.

The impact of trolling varies based on the subject, the target, and the method. Usually I find it’s best to ignore the possibility of trolling unless it’s obvious, simply due to the fact that assuming people are trolling may interfere with genuine communication, whereas assuming people are being genuine only interferes with meaningless interactions. Some say it’s better to ignore trolls, but personally I think it’s better to focus on content rather than intent. Interact when interaction is called for, ignore when it isn’t, and don’t pull your hair out wondering whether it’s a real conversation.

You do realize the issue is not the billions of people occupying the planet, but the handful controlling the wealth those people create, do you not? If the business interests of the richest people on Earth weren’t a factor in decision-making, we could do much better with our 8 billion.

I dunno! They seem to have several across different instances, but I’ve mostly seen them on sdf.

It’s from Stranger in a Strange Land. It essentially means “know”, but has a slightly different connotation. Musk just snatched up the name to ruin it. A lot of tech bros name their stuff after sci-fi from the 60s and 70s. Discord is named what it is for similar reasons, and sometimes makes announcements or releases on dates that reflect this.

When I first looked at the comic my thought was to question why Nirvana would be on the cycle at all. Given that it represents transcendence of the cycle and freedom from illusion, one might think it should be detached from the clinging loop of pain and pleasure. But I suppose it’s also part of another larger cycle of being drawn in by the illusion of Samsara and eventually finding one’s way out. Both are different states of the same phenomenon of consciousness, the same way pleasure and pain are both states if the same phenomenon of attachment.

The difference I suppose is that the pointy bits here are the times when we’re convinced and the smooth bits are the times when we can see past it. In Samsara we cling to both pleasure and pain, while in Nirvana we cling to neither, but in both states the other still exists as part of the same larger phenomenon.

Woah! Unattributed mage? What are you, working for MATA? At least ping @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org if you’re contenting!

Decent argument for F.

Hey stupid, that means they find you attractive.
