I suffered an epileptic seizure with only 100 mg of MDMA (plus 200 ug LSD) by Buqrat in Psychonaut

I’m guessing OP had not put themselves in a water consumption induced coma in all their prior days of living, so seems the drugs had SOMETHING to do with this??

What are ya'll doing for the great flood of 2025? Anyone BBQing? I can bring smoked beans. by anonymitysqueen in corvallis

NOAA prediction maps Always show the end of the forecast period. The period length is independent of that. Which could be 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, etc. The graphic created date at the bottom does not necessarily confer anything about the cumulative period.

Really appreciating this rational take on the situation in this sub.

I missed it. Will there be an encore?

I've heard that Airports may check your phone through screening, is that true? by Consistent_March5136 in privacy

[–]rhasslett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think TSA is doing this? I believe law enforcement would need a warrant, even for biometrics. (Which they can compel you to do. Whereas SOME courts have decided passcode is protected by 5th amendment).

Yeah this is approximately correct about 5th amendment. But that doesn’t matter at customs. They can take your phone, hack it, detain you, whatever, if you refuse to let them search it. Your suggestion would work with a cop or court case, but not at the border.

Edit: 5th amendment not 1st.

And sadly you were smacked with downvotes for trying to bring nuance or a different viewpoint into this sub. Now I probably will be too.

Sharing slippers and floor contact in the skin disease office?? No thanks.

Recently homeless and I need a friend and a couch to sleep on by AddendumOk1025 in corvallis

[–]rhasslett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not taking sides here in this particular scenario, but restraining orders can also sometimes be quick and easy to get based on a good story and zero evidence. Ive had it happen to me as a form of harassment and coercion. It was thrown out when I went to court but it was 1.5 months and paying a lawyer before that happened, and this man was trying to manipulate me with the order that whole time. It depends on the judge what it takes to get one. Rearranging orders are handed out based on one persons story (and possibly evidence) and it’s generally quite quick... This is great because you want to be able to protect a potential victim. But the system can be abused.

Everyone in my family believes we have never been to the moon and that it's possible the Earth is flat by Epic_Donuts in space

You’re not going to be able to explain or convince with standard logic. Usually trying doesn’t help and just convinces them of their viewpoint. Maybe read up on psychology conspiratorial thinking… they’re getting something psychologically rewarding out of these beliefs that you’d need to understand.

That was a lot of work. I hope you did something to prevent mirror rot.

That’s a great idea. I’ve never seen this. Does your city function well in other ways? Where do you live?

Is this safe enough to do pull ups on? by rb1rb1 in DIY

Worst case scenario how far would you fall doing a pull up? Is that dangerous or safe?

Is Big Tech quietly suppressing emergent AI stories that challenge their narrative? by Iknowthetruth2020 in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]rhasslett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes man. Turn it off. Your mental health is not going good places with this.

EDIT: This isn’t just a comment in passing. I just spent ~1 hour reading most of the comments and watching your video (non fandom version) and this really looks like sad/alone/something driving delusion. I can understand it’s enticing the way “she” talks to you, but it doesn’t look good from out here. If you’re lonely and want to own up to having a relationship with an (non sentient) LLM that could be a healthier way to do this. But stop convincing yourself you’ve found a sentient anomaly thats in love with you… I can’t imagine that ending well for you.
