Unironically, yes. The brain is really weird about a lot of shit. It’s not that difficult to make it believe something if you’re committed.

I got involved in this around a decade ago learning a bunch of “brain hacking” stuff. Can confirm, it is real. Can’t say it’s something I’d recommend to the average person, though. It’s a fast track to some major instability if you aren’t used to playing around with your own thought processes in detail.

We need a browser extension that will add or remove a random number of dummy browser extensions per session to further obfuscate the fingerprinting

“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community.”

Well that’s a fucking lie, so we can probably assume whatever else they come out with to try and cover their asses will be one too.

No kidding, this cat looks like it could bench press a German Shepherd

Psychedelics are just kind of like that sometimes

Mushrooms can tell you if they want to, very firmly, that it’s time to hang up the phone

Yeah, it should be tax funded and overseen by an independent oversight group.

I don’t know why this is such a difficult thing. Access to information is necessary for a healthy society. Things that are necessary for a healthy society but aren’t profitable should be tax funded, that’s the purpose of the taxes.

I read Dresden Files for the first time within the last 18 months and I’ve been relentlessly shilling it to everyone ever since. I’ve been a bookworm my entire life and it’s probably my favorite series I’ve ever read, ever. It fucking slaps, it’s SO good.

Take your upvote and get the fuck off my forums

I don’t feel valued because I bring no value to anyone in my life. Internet strangers asking questions do not count into that lol

Well, sure it does. That’s the reason we’re all here, isn’t it? Maybe not for you in particular, but for the Lemmy community. Internet strangers asking questions that you then answer and spark discussion is kind of THE value that any of us bring to this place. People asking questions and having discussions and sharing their own perspectives and life experiences is like, 80% of the whole internet. It’s what brought us into the global awareness that we have today.

I’ll just continue to airdash into BT and get slapped out of it repeatedly, it’s all good

I actually didn’t even use WA that much because I like to keep my meters up for emergencies. That half bar of burst is the difference between life and death sometimes, especially on a heavy.

Can no longer RC out of a whiffed super, my entire Goldlewis game plan is cooked 💀

I’ll see you lads back in silver rank lmao

The people specifically elected and appointed to hold him responsible to his oaths of office have abdicated their duty.

Many of the rest of us are busy being shot, arrested, and/or deported about it.

Thank you, this is the first time I’ve ever actually seen the fork bomb described in a way that makes sense. I knew what it did but I didn’t understand how the input string caused it, it was effectively just a magic rune of crashing to me. This is a great explanation.

Ultrakill has become a trans meme for some reason I can’t identify and is no question my favorite shooter I’ve ever played, ever, and it’s not close

So I recommend checking that out I guess

I ran Lich path on my first run of WOTR and it might be my favorite CRPG experience I’ve ever played. You’re evil, but you’re lawful evil, and the game gives you the opportunity to lean more lawful which I did. Excellent example of being smart evil instead of stupid evil which is exactly how I think a proper lich should be portrayed.

If they were smart, sure. But Disney can’t just leave shit alone, they aren’t capable.

My first name is a random set of numbers and letters and other alphanumerics that changes hourly forever

My last name, a thousand vowels fading down a sinkhole to a sussurus, couldn’t just be John Doe or Bingo

My address, a made up language written out in living glyphs, lifted from demonic literature and religious text

Telephone uncovered by purveyors of the Ouija, then checked against the CBGB women’s room graffiti

My social, a sudoku

My age is obscure

My ‘in-case-of-emergency’ is in the daisies chasing birds

Employed by trillionaires with perfect teeth and pores, and people who open doors for the people who open doors

My medical history is a course at SUNY Buffalo

Charlatan psychiatry and troubleshooting undertow

Nervous in the service still,

I’m burger meat and purple pills

“Here, thank you. We’ll call your name.”

Sure you will

I believe it, it can have a much higher nicotine concentration if you want it to and vape juice is tasty.

The one saving grace of cigarettes are that they taste like garbage so it’s harder to get proper addicted to them. But a good vape will taste like candy even to a non smoker, so you can get drunk with your buddy one night and take a couple rips off of his watermelon flavored vape and exit that night with an intense craving for more, ask me how I know.

Don’t you know switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading?

We call this the New York Reload and strapping down with like six pistols is a legitimate tactic.
