yeah that makes perfect sense.

non-medical professionals should not care about DNR orders, bracelets, whatevers. Because what if it’s fake and you can’t tell the difference from a real one? You could, unknowingly, help someone commit a murder, or let a temporarily unstable person die, sure you’d be innocent, but guilt and trauma doesn’t care about your innocence

dang that is fascinating! Amazing to see someone with vast knowledge on what seems to be a deeply confusing topic, thank you!

also, goodness, no offence if you’re religious but i have no idea how Christianity is treated any different from Greek mythology and the sort - the sources of faith for both are all over the place. Sure Christianity has just one god, but there is an awful lot of different versions of him

and sure you could justify it with various logic like - Satan spreads misinformation, and it’s up to the chosen of God to pick out the truth, but if the God’s alleged chosen disagree what then? How is one supposed to follow this religion and learn from its teachings if every sect/denomination claims they’re the only correct one?

What sparked my “hmm” neurons the most in your comment is that there are canonical parts of the Bible that sound like someone was having a bad trip too - The book apocalypse or however it is properly called. It describes in detail a vision of death, destruction, animals morphing into animals, has a barely coherent plot, everything is soaking in mystic symbolism - it has all the parts of a bad trip, and yet it’s always treated by religious people as at least a valid metaphor of things to come, and not ramblings of someone who ate the wrong cactus in the desert

why make a special exception for this bad trip, and not the other one with an evil yahwe? It really feels to me like the church is cherry picking things to suit their own narrative, instead of somehow dealing with all the apocryphal sources they just ignore them

with that camera lense it better be capybaras that are about to fuck or the camerman’s getting mauled

at least welsh and polish actually read the letters that we write down, unlike some languages

technically you can but that’s going to take you roughly 100 times longer and might not work at all

bruh you have no idea how correct you are on that

“By the mid-1960s the backlash against the use of LSD and its perceived corrosive effects on cultural values resulted in governmental action to restrict the availability of the drug by making use of it illegal.[29]”

now let’s all have a sit down and think about the state of the “cultural values” if feeling love towards your fellow human beings, and jamming to music is somehow corrosive to them… just- i have no idea how people fell for that bullshit

lsd my beloved :( ostracised because they had to put hippies in prison for something. schedule I with no medical uses my ass too, that ban stopped every ongoing research into how lsd could help in psychiatry, and though research wasn’t finished it sure as hell didn’t look like it was useless. The US drug enforcement administration lied in nearly every single part of their statement following the ban

just eat some psychedelics like a normal person the worst those can do is shatter your image of self and then rebuild it, oh and sometimes your muscles can ache a little afterwards because flexing them felt amazing

I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day

honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because “the clothes looked better”, fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria

the social fallout you’re talking about is a certain loss of their job, and a potential loss of their entire career. “Coming clean” could mean losing their livelihood and having to start from scratch, and today’s job market makes it hard even for qualified individuals to find a job they have 5 years of experience in.

Blackmail wouldn’t be effective if it didn’t put you in a position of an impossible decision

does a birth certificate count?

slang mostly, I mod a strictly 18+ space and recently someone used the word “skeet”, and would you believe it, they were a minor

lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn’t

sadly our entire species loves games

that’s part of the “planet is dying” bit, since nobody who can do something about it is doing anything

I hate thinking so negatively about the future but the more the world seems to crumble around me the more I feel like we might be one of the last generations of humans that got to experience civilisation for a long time.

The planet is dying, fascism is spreading, the tensions are rising, and everyone has nukes! woo! future!

in case you’re not joking and actually don’t know: AwkwardTurtle was one of the most universally disliked reddit mods, she modded a vast number of popular servers, and often banned people on a whim. There were multiple dramas surrounding her
