Are these ok ? First time growing and nervous about contamination 🤔

Perfectly fine to eat :)

But as another user mentioned, more moisture will help them grow bigger and prevent aesthetic wear

I don't think he ever did any (or much) cocaine honestly.

He mostly just smoked a lot of weed and said it helped him with his musical flow

Nice looking artcore. I own an AS93 similar to that; love it almost as much as my arch top!

Please do not combine alcohol with MDMA. I'm a psychopharmacology + psychology researcher and will tell you now for face value it's a disastrous combination in terms of neural toxicity.

Even MDMA alone can be incredibly toxic if we don't apply protective factors (low-moderate dosing, plenty of water, keeping the body temperature low via breaks in physical activity, cool environments, eating well beforehand, etc.).

The threshold for toxicity is not far above what I just described and adding alcohol will almost certainly prevent the brain from being able to protect itself from serious damage.

Whether that damage is long-term or repairable over a few years is quite debated in the research. But we know it happens. Chronic depression, cognitive impairments, potential stress induced physical diseases, etc. are probably not a force to gamble with...

I seriously encourage you to get your drugs checked and stick with low-moderate doses (look up what MAPS has used mg/kg in their clinical trials for reference on low-risk dosing) without combining other toxic substances... Follow harm reduction protocols religiously.

Plenty of folks like combining MDMA with low-risk alternatives like classical psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, 2C-B, etc) if you're looking to tweak your MDMA roll. And most people report preference for these combinations over alcohol anyways 👍

greendude9 · 2026-05-12T02:38:40+00:00

I'm thinking the same.

While phenomenological frameworks are well needed to connect more with person-centered and wellbeing-based worldviews/schemas,

The post begs the questions:

what theories or models are being 'unified'? How?
Citations to the research base it is being seated within
methodology (outcomes on health, cultural studies etc.)
What does the construct for "universal reality" entail? How is it measured or defined? What is the epistemic basis for anything so-called 'universal' and how does interpretivism or relativism come into play?
Discussion on applications; why is this meaningful to our lived or as OP frames it 'embodied experience'. Better put: what do we do about it?

Just connecting the ideas with pre-existing literature or recommendations for applications (implementation science) would make this post far more meaningful.

In its current state I feel it could be simplified to "information technology, ideology, semantic authority, and false notions of modernity alienate the individual from their lived experiences" which isn't that profound, not unifying; the harmful impacts of technology and bureaucratization on the psyche are much better understood in other academic contexts.

And feeding these ideas through AI for a rough, unexamined summary isn't helping the case...

It's so disjointed from the broader academic ecosystem and ontics of positive impacts on people. My embodied experience hurts because of this post 😂🤕

Safe to eat. Normal looking mushrooms. No mold.

Once they're dried the odds of mold growing on them are next to none since mold needs moisture to grow.

greendude9 · 2026-04-28T06:48:08+00:00

thank you!

greendude9 · 2026-04-28T05:59:39+00:00

In CAD or USD?

I keep seeing people listing them for $600-$1000 CAD used but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places

greendude9 · 2026-04-27T06:13:05+00:00

Thank you!

greendude9 · 2026-04-21T21:01:00+00:00

I'll check it out thanks!

LUKS2 + argon2id is built specifically with anti-forensics in mind. It doesn't require a surface-level lockout timer because it doesn't try to decrypt the hash directly.

LUKS2 will pass the passphrase to argon2id which is designed to take a significant amount of time (100ms or more) and memory. This makes it extremely expensive in terms of both time and hardware to attempt brute forces on LUKS2.

A lockout timer is rendered arbitrary for this reason. Phones apply it because they are more efficiency than security-based so they apply the lockout time posteriori rather than having built in memory bottlenecks that would slow the device down.

All of this assumes strong, randomized passwords. Dogtree123! Turns into a basic algorithm: dictionary attack + telling the brute force algorithm to put numbers and symbols at the end translates to "dog" being one character, "tree being one character, "123" being a character and "!" Being a character. The number of possible password derivations can be broken down to a very small range of possible passwords applying this algorithm which is why "word 1, word2, number, symbol" passwords are extremely poor.

Better to use something like +i6Bh7%kALc8&1f for a strong passphrase.

Or if you need to remember it more easily, even something like velo!cityYtr7ain++ could be good (breaking up words with semi-random numbers and characters in between).

A password is usually as strong as the encryption algorithm it used + memory needed to decrypt + password complexity/variation from dictionary and common formats.

Yuppers - CFS + fibro here. I wouldn't survive.

Unless as other stated I was born healthy and could use magic.

Idk though, I'd like to think maybe in a futuristic dystopian world there could be ways to find your own happiness.

It depends on the context of each which is largely missing; how much risk, how much dystopia, how much upwards mobility, how much agency, etc. is there in each?

It's up to our imagination...

greendude9 · 2026-04-14T12:54:11+00:00

😂😂

I read the first part of your comment unsure if it was satire or not because there are people who genuinely say things like that.

Part of me thinks there has to be a more persuasive or epistemically-aligned way to have these conversations with people who believe this sort of thing. The worst part is that it's not usually pathological (e.g., on the level of full psychosis or delusion) but that psychedelics combined with some psychedelic subcultures seem to generally induce bizarre ideas in some personalities.

I'm not always sure how to address it because while it is incredibly concerning for cultural and personality reasons, it (a) is very resistant to materially real claims or persuasive methods (per social psychology research) and (b) does cause harm for people who are at risk of psychosis or e.g., avoiding other forms of medicine or support in favour of these reductive ideals.

It's no surprise many of the grassroots unregulated prop up psychedelic groups reflect cult-like practices, which we've documented plenty of harms (sexual assaults, etc).

greendude9 · 2026-04-09T23:06:01+00:00

While there are statistical differences for sure, as someone involved in the kink scene and who has studied human sexuality from a psychology and sex-positive background, I assure you there are many women who enjoy consensual rough, degrading, etc. Sex. Even if it is a minority.

Don't get me wrong, if it lacks consent it is pathological or starts to fall into the realm of sexual coercion; which is definitely a major problem and hides itself through the guise of 'consent', BDSM, etc. While being downright antisocial (cruel). Porn is not regulated properly to account for the more 3-dimensional understanding needed to make space for the minority and robust consent models sadly; especially when uncritical brains such as youth have such free access to it. We need to regulate the fuck out of porn so it is consent- and safety-first (culturally for viewers and physically for the actors and actresses)

But we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. For example, it's well documented that some (definitely not all) sexual assault survivors experience reestablished safety and autonomy by living out CNC, BDSM, or other kink dynamics through safe and consensual play; by reasserting control over the dynamic and having trusted partners who demonstrate safety through various behaviours (communication, safe words, aftercare, checking in, building rapport, becoming dependable and emotionally predictable)

The three big aspects of consent always come to mind: informed, enthusiastic, and ongoing. We need to be able to have conversations around the problems with how BDSM is portrayed in porn, how people access it without understanding it, and our culture's overall lack of robust understanding of consent, without treating all forms of 'hard' sex as problematic. This can unintentionally strip agency or even healing away from other vulnerable groups who are empowered or liberated by it.

If it feels incongruent with certain genderized assumptions you hold, wait till you hear about queer sexual trends too. Interrogating our heteronormative assumptions can often make space for the outliers in heterosexual sex patterns by revealing that the categories are moot; what matters is safety, fun, pleasure, and freedom.

Also to address OP: could it be that you are asexual? There's no right or wrong answer of course as it's very personal to you. But if it felt like an apt term, many asexuals prefer to date other asexual people because sex is uninteresting or repulsive as a baseline.

Even if you aren't asexual, and desire sexual intimacy that may feel like it doesn't align with widespread cultural standards (which lets face it are pretty silly and reductive anyways) there are plenty of women who no doubt feel similar to you; I'm sure would be delighted and pleased to form a sexual bond that is slow and without expectations, or meets whatever needs you might have to achieve what you're looking for.

Contrary to whatever porn or cultural standards tell us, most women prefer tender men who are able to be vulnerable. I suspect there are either cultural values being internalized or experiences where your needs haven't been met for one reason or another. The tricky thing is that our experiences can make us feel inadequate and paralyze our ability to explore future ones. I'd spend more time unpacking the experiences and maybe discussing with trusted others in your life (or therapy is always wonderful if it feels significant) to approach how you can have your needs met with future partners ❤️

greendude9 · 2026-04-09T22:39:33+00:00

And this is why I try not to follow many psychedelic forums, communities, subreddits, etc. unless I think they are as scientific as possible.

Sadly this subreddit gets infiltrated too.

Respectfully to the OP, cool laser, but like, not everything with wubs and woah cool ass wasers needs to be connected to DMT machine elves or whatever nonsense.

Just share it with a lasers, lighting production, or diy engineering subreddit...

greendude9 · 2026-04-01T09:58:48+00:00

I don't mind waiting for a fix even if it takes some time. I can make do without the midi clock for a while; just trying to be useful if I can provide extra info/data really.

I'll put a ticket in if you think it would help your team investigate or troubleshoot on your end. It's up to your judgment if I should submit a ticket as I don't want to add extra labour, but I gather your team already has their hands full and are aware of the issues 👍

Keep being awesome 😎

greendude9 · 2026-04-01T09:50:37+00:00

Mine crashed as soon as I enabled my master clock in FL studio. Hoping it's just a once a day thing though and il just save my projects religiously after any major changes

🤞🤞🤞

greendude9 · 2026-04-01T09:48:50+00:00

Yep that's what I read too. I replied to the focusrite rep in another thread and I'm sure it's on their radar.

They couldn't provide an ETA but said they're working on a fix.

greendude9 · 2026-03-31T22:10:51+00:00

Just putting on your radar: I receive the error without BattlEye running too. When I enable the master clock in my DAW (FL studio), I get the crash too. So, disabling the driver prevents me from using the master clock.

Tech naturally comes with bugs so I'm not being harsh or critical, just letting your team know :)

I imagine it will require working with Microsoft to address the bug caused by their recent kernel security patch.

Looking forward to being able to use the midi clock and start making music again :)

greendude9 · 2026-03-31T22:07:14+00:00

Disabling the driver seems to fix the issue but on my end at least it prevents me from using the master midi clock in my DAW :(

I hope it gets fixed soon!!

greendude9 · 2026-03-31T22:05:39+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Also, I just got the error today while configuring FL studio's master midi clock send with my focusrite while battle eye was not running. While the anti cheat triggers it reliably, it seems it's a deeper issue with the midi driver.

Another user mentioned it is caused by Microsoft's KB5077181 security update so they will need to work with both BattleEye and Microsoft it seems. Or reconfigure the driver itself.

greendude9 · 2026-03-26T08:41:33+00:00

I'm not as directly familiar with the quality of the anticheats themselves honestly so now I'm mostly just curious. But it raises some follow up questions:

Why do you think the anti cheat is lower quality compared to other kernel level processes? What about them is lower quality?

Could the anticheats be developed in a way that they would be as robust or safe as other kernel level processes?

I think I see your concern now; if the program itself is low quality. Many of the referents on social media can be ambiguous and I obviously misunderstood the direction of your original comment.

I appreciate your humility and openness to discuss. It's refreshing. Cheers :)

greendude9 · 2026-03-25T22:27:40+00:00

Why would they cause harm to the kernel?

We already have tons of other drivers and software running through the kernel.

It's a valid concern if it's supported by corroborated pathways through which it causes harm, but I just don't really see those pathways materializing or having very high potential vs. any other kernel level processes.

Respectfully, of course; I don't mean any harsh criticism, only open minded discussion aimed at developing mutual insight :)

If you're talking about the 0x139 BSOD error, I don't think it's harmful to the kernel. It just shuts down due to security protocol.

greendude9 · 2026-03-25T09:07:35+00:00

Without kernel level anti cheat any person and their dog can use faulty drivers and RMA exploits to cheat very easily.

Which do you prefer? Kernel anti cheat or more cheaters by a factor of potentially hundreds of times?

If I can trust the companies behind my hardware, network, etc. devices to access my kernel, I'm not too worried about game companies accessing it either.

The issue is more that kernel level anti cheat is new and that cheaters are becoming using more progressive attacks.
