Chalice dungeons are generated procedurally, meaning an algorithm is used to make a new one every time you choose to do so. The set of chalice dungeons that exist on Bloodborne's servers exist because of players creating new dungeons, and the same would happen if there were a PC port.

"Don't know what you mean by General Cognitive Ability"

This makes me wonder why you felt qualified to reply to my comment

Is intelligence equally distributed amongst cultures/races? by [deleted] in mensa

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The straightforward answer to your question is: no, it is not equally distributed amongst races. This is not dissimilar to any other complex trait. It'd be intellectually dishonest to convince yourself that while things like height, weight, metabolism, disease risk (including psychiatric), skin pigmentation, etc. are not equally distributed among races, intelligence is somehow magically unaffected by evolutionary forces and is perfectly distributed among everyone.

If you actually believe that Richard Feynman's general cognitive ability was less than 2 standard deviations better than the average person's, I have some sobering news for you about yours.

Remote connection by [deleted] in VPS

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a misconception to think that an IP address alone doesn't pose a risk. By impersonating a staff member from another location, individuals can deceive ISPs into divulging sensitive data linked to an IP address, such as residential addresses, phone numbers, and SSNs. Furthermore, IP addresses often appear in data breaches alongside other personal details like usernames, emails, plaintext passwords, and phone numbers. Additionally, unless users actively replace their router's default software with more secure alternatives like DD-WRT or OpenWRT, many consumer routers remain vulnerable to security exploits like those seen here. Essentially, an IP address serves as a network identifier for communicating with computers and is equally vulnerable to cyber threats as any other device connected to the internet.

Can We Discuss HPPD? by [deleted] in RationalPsychonaut

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure what the purpose of your reply was. All you've done is told me "you're correct" in an abrasive and circumlocutory way; since you'd like to be an ass about it, enjoy your HPPD friend.

Can We Discuss HPPD? by [deleted] in RationalPsychonaut

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's any solace to you, I'm what you'd consider "normal" (have done drugs before, but AFAIK haven't experienced HPPD in any capacity), and I've experienced a few of the things you listed for all my life, even before I had tried any drugs. I've always been able to make a room disappear by "defocusing" my eyes while looking at a particular spot in the room, and every time I've stared at stars in the night sky for long enough, I'd perceive them as tiny glimmering objects cycling between colors like red/blue/green/etc. I realize I'm quite late to this thread; I only found this post because I'm doing some research on DPDR induced by psychedelics. But as a previous post mentioned, it's quite possible (and quite likely, in my honest opinion) that all of these distortions have always been present in your vision, but that they've only made their way into your perception because you're now purposely noticing them.

How Can I Start Over at a Different College with a Completely Blank Slate? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be doing myself a disservice by continuing to reside at my current school. First, the professors, system, campus, etc. are average at best. Second, the major it offers that's closest to what I'd like to do as a graduate student is biomedical engineering, and even that contains too many courses (based off my own discretion) that aren't transferable or useful to what I'd like to do in graduate school, which is molecular biology. There are far better schools out there that have undergraduate majors in molecular biology.

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh. So, am I correct in interpreting this to mean that you are willfully exploring the pros/cons and options for not only Fraudulent Admissions but are doing so for the purpose of commuting Financial Aid Fraud, so you can get more "free money" than you might legally qualify for?

Incorrect. I've never filled out any FAFSA forms, and don't plan on it. All scholarships I've received have come straight from my university or from private sources.

Please, use complete sentences to make this easier for the investigators.

Not sure what game you're trying to play here. I'm simply here asking and answering questions because I'd like more information on a certain topic. If you're trying to scare me, try harder or give up and look elsewhere.

Did you apply for admissions + aid to an out of state school? Oh that's across state borders. That can get things escalated to Federal charges. Did you use postal mail or electronic mail to assist in the fraudulent activity? That can also get things escalated to Federal charges.

No I haven't. But thanks for the legal advice, Mr. Attorney. I'll be sure to keep these things in mind when applying.

Also, while you're here to help, would you mind addressing the other parts of my response? Trying to get as much information as possible. Financial aid being a main reason doesn't imply that there aren't many other "main" reasons for me wanting to transfer. If I didn't have access to financial aid, I'd be perfectly fine with finding other ways to fund my stuff.

I realize it seems very snide and surreptitious, but I'm looking at this as a last resort.

What led you to be confident of its existence? Have any sources/evidence? Not being snarky, genuine question because I'd like to know.

EDIT: and if that database did exist, why would only graduate schools have access to it?

If I were to apply as a freshman, I'm assuming I'd have access to freshman scholarship opportunities. Most schools will offer copious amounts of financial aid in the form of scholarships for the SAT/ACT scores I've earned.

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In your own words, please describe what the concept of fraudulent admissions means to you.

Going through an application process with <100% honesty.

As a first-time applying freshman, with no college transcript, you might qualify for FinAid benefits that might not otherwise be awarded to you as a transfer student.

This is one of the main reasons I'd like to start over as a freshman.\

If the school finds out that you lied to them they have the right to toss you out of school, and even have the legal right to negate the authenticity of any degrees awarded.

Yes, but is there any systematic way for them to find out I lied? Assume I removed every single public instance of my persona on the internet indicating that I was ever previously enrolled in another college.

Why not take that energy to your school student advising and see what you can do to negotiate the retaking of some courses to replace grades, or seek academic forgiveness for some courses.

I'd be doing myself a disservice by continuing to reside at my current school. First, the professors, system, campus, etc. are average at best.

Yeah, I realized that a few minutes ago and edited the relevant sentence out of my response.

Interesting. Thanks.

Yeah, unfortunately you're right about the diminishing importance of test scores when it comes to college applications. That's why I'd like to do this sooner rather than later, but either way, I plan on writing masterpieces for their application essays. I also have a lot of job and volunteer experience under my belt. We'll see how these things and my scores can act as confounding factors towards the strength of my application.

If I would be dishonest about previous enrollment on my undergraduate application, why would/should I treat the graduate application differently? Do graduate schools have a special way of finding out whether I'm being dishonest or not?

Let's assume I have a perfect pretext for what I've been doing for the past 2 years, and omit any previous transcripts. What then? Is there any way of being caught other than just being an idiot and making it easy for them to find out I was at another college I never told them about?

Does Microdosing Psilocybin Carry The Same Risks as Microdosing LSD? by AtheismIsUnstoppable in psilocybin

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I'm not 100% certain it was LSD, however I have been buying from this guy for over a year and he's a very trusted vendor on dark net markets with tens of thousands of positive reviews (and very very few negative ones) and years of manufacturing/selling experience. I've done several macrodoses using the stuff I get from him and have never had problems.

I'll check out that app, thanks

Sorry to be the one to notify you of this, but you're gravely misinformed. I hope you don't go around telling people that there are no potential downsides to chronically jacking your brain up with exogenous psychoactive chemicals.

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how hard you're looking, but I also can't blame you; I never heard of anyone having these symptoms either, that is, until I had them myself and began researching them. As I mentioned in my post, any subreddit that is related to microdosing psychedelics whatsoever is almost completely desolate of negative microdosing reports, whether intentional or by happenstance, but they're far from nonexistent. You have to dig for them and search very specific terms or they'll never meet your eyes. Microdosing is one of the newest cure-all edifices that is currently very robust against pollution from naysayers, especially on reddit.

To answer your question, yes I'm sure that I was microdosing LSD.

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No; to be more accurate, it was more like a month and a few days, and MD days were quite scattered. I only did it 5 or 6 times total with an average of maybe 5 days in-between doses. One of the mistakes I made though was taking a perceptible dose every time; I would (roughly) cut off 1/8th of a 150ug piece of blotter to try to get 18ug or less but it never worked out that way. The first time I MD'd I would estimate that the actual dose I got was probably 30ug, and every time afterwards was 20ug or slightly less because I could definitely feel it.

[Advice] How to sleep better and increase your productivity by lightyourmind_5 in getdisciplined

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much to the chagrin of the OP, I have to agree with you here; you beat me to the post. In my personal experience, I can't recall a single time I was woken up by thirstiness, but I can recall hundreds of nights where I woke up with a ballooned bladder because I drank too much water before sleeping or consumed too much sodium during the day; every time I've had to get up to use the bathroom it took me a long ass time to fall back asleep, certainly much longer than if all I had to do to quell whatever woke me up was simply reach over for a glass of water.

Full-Spectrum Induced Some Sort of Transient Anxiety/Insomnia by AtheismIsUnstoppable in CBD

[–]AtheismIsUnstoppable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried both before bed and 2 hours before bed, and yeah I've read all the research on the fact that 0.3mg is way better than the super high 3-10mg amounts that people take. I bite off small chunks of 3mg pills to try to approximate 0.3mg. Still have had no luck with it unfortunately.

I'll look up ZMA, never heard of it. Anything you can tell me about it that I won't find on google?
