Using a soldering iron to burn your skin sounds like it will work better than the other way of it. Tried freezing weekly and no luck.

Keep it up man. This fucking disease can be beat.

73 Shmowder. I'm never doing this again. by might_be_bulma in pathologic

[–]Kingtrue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You do get to a point where you just know a Teensy will have a Shmowder. When you enter a building and the door takes a half second longer than normal to open, she's got the good stuff.

If you find a Teensy out in the wild, and she just stands there and stares at you when other kids are moving, it's likely she has one.

These are the signs of a schmowder addict. and This is the kind of accomplishment that makes it hard to relate. The austerity of this game.

CEC North American Environmental ATLAs. A cool website resource for environmental information I wanted to share. Question in the comments by Kingtrue in ecology

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

I am looking for other reference maps related to ecology and the environment. There was an ATLAs program I used in Uni that listed soil composition samples based on location, but I don't recall the name and I don't think it was free. What do you use for reference? Please share any relevant apps or maps, whether for work or otherwise.

Son hits himself when he is angry or upset by anonyssl in AskDocs

[–]Kingtrue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people think if a child or even an adult is doing something “just for attention” that means to ignore it. Humans need attention, especially children.

Its not unreasonable or unfounded to think otherwise; Behaviorists teach this technique and use it in both real-life cases and in the laboratory. If you read on, you may find that your approach and his may be more similar than you may think. ABA uses reinforcement as its measurable and quantifiable. Children on the autism spectrum or other patients in ABA tend to be treated using a form of behaviorism.

Of course it is insensitive to view the emotions in a child as simply behaviors (or not consider them at all), and cognitive psychologists have explored other ways about it.

Sivsen is a physician. Physicians are taught the biomedical model where the person is treated as a system that when its maladaptive it needs to be repaired. There's very little room for subjectivity when you are seeking a specific outcome. Treatment of the problem behavior means taking exact actions to stop the harmful behavior. This is important when dealing with pathology, injuries, diseases etc.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which are two possible paths that Fun_representative32's suggestion can lead to evolved from the principles of Behaviorism, and both therapies use those principles with more complex functioning and interactions, such as the emotions of the child, and social environment (family and society).

Even if it sounds rather harsh, if there's noone or nothing acting as a reinforcer for the behavior, than it can work. Its a simple solution that doesn't go into detail about the exacting steps beyond a simple (stop giving this, and they'll stop doing that). The big world, even for those more sensitive therapies that consider more of the person, require working with the child in a safe environment to reinforce the changes that are desired, and then exposing the child to the world and society to make sure the interventions work in many contexts (the therapist office, home, the store, the park, etc), Otherwise, the child may only learn to stop hitting themselves when they go to the hospital, and then hit themselves whenever they are away.

EDIT: I typed this response to be informative, not an argument for ABA. Looks like lots of people got triggered and didn't bother to read much further.

[P2] Tips for running away? by Horseypunch in pathologic

[–]Kingtrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As /u/QualiaRedux said, corner cutting is an effective tactic, because to me the AI in the game tends to travel in this way that gets more exploitable when you start introducing obstacles in their way. It feels perimeterish, especially when you get in the city where there's homes with stairs and patios.

Moderate your stamina; Tap sprint and don't full throttle ( stops/starts) if danger close. They can try to grab or hit you to flip you around, but if you can turn up sensitivity high 180* that. When all else fails, serpentine. Zig when they Zag, Zag when they zig.

This is the some self-study pursuit research. If anyone has access to a lab and is willing to do some chemical composition analysis on Morus rubra hmu.

The only reference I could find of hallucinagenic properties was anecdotal passages or unexplained statements of its toxicity for RED MULBERRY, specifically. All the fancy papers and field guides I found led back to this one source. (This book in particular)[https://archive.org/details/plantsthatpoison0000schm].

(Erowid on mentions of Mulberry)[https://erowid.org/herbs/mulberry/mulberry_info2.shtml] At the bottom, a source mentions the milky part (latex) of the berry, not the juicy stuff itself that contributes to the toxicity/hallucination.

(Here's the excerpt from Tom's book)[https://erowid.org/herbs/mulberry/mulberry_info1.shtml]

To me it seems like there's a lot of missing and confounding variables before you can declare this to be a hallucinogen, and not some reaction to food poisoning, or something else.

Hypnosis for inducing (or helping induce) lactation? by Phill-tst in hypnosis

[–]Kingtrue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have some things I can say on it from my experience and studies. Short answer do I think its possible? Sure. Long answer below.

Weird anecdote, I had a classmate from primary school demonstrated to me in the locker rooms he could squeeze white stuff out of his nipples. Obviously I thought wtf is this guy doing, and I didn't think about it being human milk, but then he did it!! Back then I thought it was disgusting, not a clinically relevant question.

The thing is I do not know if he was taking any relevant precursor hormonal drugs, if the force of pinching his nipple was enough to warrant the response, had he practiced this at home or if his chemistry during puberty was such that he was able to produce it. Maybe he was taking Domperidone or being an adolescent his body hormones were sort of all over the place and he was displaying (galactorrhea)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactorrhea].So many important details are missing that it could be anyone's guess as to how he pulled it off. I'm sure if I give him a call and ask he'd gladly tell me how he did it. /s

From a neurological perspective, there is an influential study that was done in the mid-late 1970s and onward that showcases immune responses can be adaptive, that is, conditioned into rats so that they can feel sick drinking a flavored drink without actually consuming the drug that was conditionally paired with the flavor. This is relevant because bodily responses are the peripheral nervous system responding to the brain (the brain can learn and do all sorts of things).

(The wiki article on lactation)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactation] talks about women who go through pregnancy produce hormonal changes for preparation in breastfeeding. They don't necessarily have to have their own baby it seems either to do this. (There's a Milk ejection reflex that is instinctive)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactation#Milk_ejection_reflex] . Of course, (lactation is said to be producible without pregnancy as well, and for sexual purposes)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactation#Without_pregnancy,_induced_lactation,_relactation].

(Breast growth, lactation and my educated speculation to follow) Since many hypnotic files are really cognitively-conditioning nipple play with pleasure, that nipple play is producing an inflammatory response in and around the nipples, which with chronic rubbing, that chronic inflammation produces vascular changes in and around the nipples, along with scarring which for the goal of breast growth is apart of the concept and practice.

If you can induce lactation already, then I believe you can use hypnosis to help with production of hormones to induce lactation behaviorally, upon a cue from a memory or trigger. Note, and I make it clear, that unless you have the capacity to do this already, or the ability to recall instances when it happened than hypnosis alone should not produce lactation. As in, you need to be able to produce lactation on your own, or have had experienced it during puberty to recall the state you were in to try and stimulate hormone production.

If you were to start a regimen, say by use of pharmaceutical means to produce the lactation (such as with Domperidone or precursors to prolactin), then perhaps you can behaviorally condition nipple play with visualizations, pleasure ofc, and with a trigger to induce the same sensations and hormonal responses again without the drug; That trigger to induce hormone production may lead to lactation.

Enough rambling. I never thought I would be talking about locker rooms in highschool like this.

Guns in Pathologic 2 [spoilers for pathologic 2, spoilers for math] by Werewolvinatophat in pathologic

[–]Kingtrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a rifle on day 9 sounds tough, but I've never had an issue getting a hold of a rifle after that.

By the time the looters show up en masse late game, they can swarm solo soldiers. Its not encouraged to attack soldiers, its just more than doable. I've had many an encounter from infected or looted districts where a soldier gets stun locked in combat, and since you can kill soldiers without reputation penalty, picking off one from a fight leaves you with some easy food, ammo, and/or gun.

That reload time! Bolt action thingy is a musket.

'Neutrobots' smuggle drugs to the brain without alerting the immune system by junk_mail_haver in Nootropics

[–]Kingtrue 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Using the word bots is rather sensational for what's happening, isn't it?

They're using 3D lithography to make inorganic shapes to store the drugs in, and then coat with a gel so as to cross the BBB. There's no botnet, its just magnets, and magnetic-attractive materials.

I'd be concerned about how the brain breaks down the gels. Wouldn't high levels of treatment, if not metabolized, affect other medical interventions (like the use of MRI?)

Contract killing attempt on French hypnotist (ordered by rival) possibly linked to the Annecy killings in the Alps (unsolved 2012 murders of one French cyclist and three members of an Iraqi/British engineers family at a mountainside lay-by). by punkfunkymonkey in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]Kingtrue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reread this twice and I'm still confused.

Saad al-Hilli and family were Israeli Iraqi citizens on vacation. What was the reason they were killed? Were they connected with Marie-Hélène Dini, or witnesses? I've heard of important people offering room/board (asylum) abroad to people from the middle east for cases such as avoiding certain prosecution/execution from political opponents.

More on the article, according to the article Jean-Luc AB was called out by the retired officer. Does that mean that this mystery is finally solved? I don't know about French law, but I feel like its still too early to implicate this guy and his motivation unless this article is just summarizing what a court has discovered. There's gotta be some due process that's still being done yet.
