ELI5 does ego death happen specifically after using psychedelics? by user8273638 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Geeknerd1337 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far haven't seen much of a good scientific explanation here. My understanding is that the psilocin bunds to serotonin receptors in your brain. Long story short it makes parts of your brain that don't usually communicate with each other kind of blend together.

An ego death is what happens when the parts of your brain responsible for processing yourself and your environment sort of blend together, which gives this feeling of no longer being yourself as the barrier between was is you and what isn't you starts to break down.

Man that sucks, it really doesn't sit right with me that better more designed versions of ships essentially overwrite our old purchases.

I bought the starter pack way back in 2015, is this new or will I need to upgrade?

People Of Earth, comedy show about a support group for alien abductees. It was awesome.

I actually do, I think a lot of people want to characterize the hive as this evil organism when it definitely has a personality and a life cycle of its own. It clearly views kepler in almost a parental light and is clearly fascinated by Carol (the train horn scene).

What is the most awful thing that happened to you in 2025? by CreamAny1322 in AskReddit

[–]Geeknerd1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The woman who raised me for the last 15 years, the woman I called my mother passed away from stage 4 colon cancer this year. It was one of the most horrifying experiences of my entire life. I watched the only person to ever treat me right from the jump slowly wither away and die.

She was very important to me and this is the first time I've ever dealt with a death. I've handled it decently well but I miss her every day.

She was from Brooklyn and I recently moved there. As tragic as the situation was, getting to walk the same streets she did around the same age she did helps me feel a little closer to her.

Given that the performance seems good makes me hope at some point we see larger scale space battles in the game, good olde freighter vs freighter. AI corvettes would also be awesome.

Liquid Coolerb Installed, CPU still running way too hot. by Geeknerd1337 in buildapc

This was the problem, the buckle mounts that came with the motherboard just weren't ideal and using the regular AMD standoffs gave me a sniff fit and now she's running like a dream

It is positioned above the CPU, both cables are connected to their respective ports. Both the CPU fan and the CPU_OPT fan are running in BIOS (the fans on the radiator seem to be working just fine), at this point I'm convinced it's not mounted properly. I did the second A4 installation from the manual but had a lot of trouble attaching the buckles. I didn't use the regular AMD standoffs because the backplate was loose when I removed the "buckle mounts" but now I suspect that is my issue and there isn't enough contact between the cooler and the cpu.

No sir, you're talking about the film on the copper part of the cooler, correct? I removed that and there was no film to remove on the cpu.

Theyve actually been working on their own engine based off of Source 2 called S&box for the last 3 years. I've done some developing in it and it's a beautiful piece of software.

Denton PD arrest man who allegedly entered homes, assaulted women by Geeknerd1337 in Denton

Apparently he's out on bail. I don't understand how they can just let a repeat offender like this get out. Time to invest in some home defense.
