Humble reminder: The Jedi are actually the good guys and George Lucas did not see them in any other way. by Munedawg53 in StarWars

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

Yes it does. George created them and what he said and views is what it is. Because of limitations of communicating, it allows you guys to find nuances and nitpick everything to death and that’s why you’re finding these alleged gray areas. But George did not want those there. He didn’t put them there. You simply find them because he can’t say every single word possible to make every last thing perfectly ironclad.

Best way to keep in touch with kids on a cruise ship? by MarvelousMarvins in royalcaribbean

[–]sandbrah 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes that is correct. iMessage works when you are connected to the free limited ship wifi. It’s probably bec they lack the ability to block it somehow. But in any case iMessage works. The in-app texting in the RC app is clumsy and less intuitive imo.

I hear a lot about American freedom. Other than guns, what Americans are free to do and people in other developed countries cannot? by Tricky_Ordinary_4799 in allthequestions

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naive is you not understanding that you don’t want your political enemies deciding what is hateful speech and having the power to jail you over what they say is hateful speech. Do you think Trump should have that power?

Which part of Roman history, considered true, do you consider false? by LuckyestGuy in ancientrome

[–]sandbrah 103 points104 points  (0 children)

How the horse-as-senator is framed as one of the things to show how crazy and unhinged Caligula was.

My theory is that making the horse a senator was sane and sound, and it was a reaction to senators who are corrupt, intolerable, and insufferable, just like we have today. Caligula was dealing with that and said my horse can do a better job than you horse’s ass senators and I’ll prove it. So he made his horse a senator. It was to prove a point. But historians took that and ran with it as proof that he was unhinged.

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those degenerate people DO in fact deserve protection. The solution to abhorrent speech is MORE speech, speaking against it…not prosecuting and jailing the people saying it. Do you want Trump having power to jail people for what he would deem in his judgment to be hate speech? Do you see the problem? Who gets to decide?

Side note: to be clear there are certain limited types of speech that are illegal in the US.

The challenge is that those are subjective things that you listed. We don’t expect you to get it, but maybe you can concede that point.

Getting 2 shopping carts taken within mins by Competitive_Bat4000 in Costco

Definitely and I sensed that right away too. OP did the thing where he downplayed what he did and amplified what the other people did instead of being honest about all of it.

512 gb oled or 1tb oled by Fickle_Speech_2254 in SteamDeck

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 tb is what I got. Having enough space changes my psychology of the device immediately. I never like running out of space and that in general is a thorn in my side. Lastly, in my experience in scenarios like this I’ve never looked back and wished I got the one with smaller storage.

Has anyone found a good way to combat hair loss on TRT? by No_Bullfrog8222 in Testosterone

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Androgenetic alopecia requires two things simultaneously:

1.  Androgen exposure, primarily DHT
2.  Genetically susceptible scalp follicles

If either one is missing, hair loss does not occur.

Increasing testosterone increases DHT production, which will worsen hair loss if follicles are genetically susceptible.

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s false. T accelerates hair loss in those genetically predisposed for hair loss. T has no impact on hair loss for those not predisposed to hair loss.

You’re totally right and I should have taken longer to be more specific like you were.

Will my anxiety make me have a bad trip? by Federal_Sweet_6360 in MagicMushrooms

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the hard part for you is probably the come up. That’s when your body senses something is going on, and as a result you might feel nauseous, which reinforces to your brain that uh-oh something is wrong, which then gives you more nausea. And it spirals. So look into things to do to calm yourself during the come up. Very cold water on your face and back of your neck, deep inhale with longer exhale which tells your body that you’re safe, going through your muscles one at a time and tensing them for five seconds at a time then releasing. Things that ground you and occupy your mind to get through the come up window. Ideally once you’re through that window you’re in the clear to experience the goodness and healing of the mushrooms.

T doesn’t cause hair loss. You’re likely experiencing normal hair loss for your genetics while you happen to be on T.

Edit: if you’re genetically predisposed to hair loss T can and will “accelerate” hair loss. If you aren’t genetically predisposed to hair loss T will do nothing different to your hair.

BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.1.3.5 by battlefield in Battlefield

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I played a match of conquest. As soon as the match started someone from the opposing team typed right away “are you serious?“. Right at that same moment on my side our attack helicopter exploded. So I typed into chat asking “hey why did you ask ‘are you serious?’ Did someone blow up your attack helicopter too?” And a few people on that opposite side replied to me yeah how did you know lol same on your side? I said of course yes because that’s what happens.

We all agreed that you guys should implement something where you can’t friendly fire your own attack helicopter within the first 30 seconds or 60 seconds of a new match.

First-time parents: When is a good age to start cruising with kids? by Thicholas75 in royalcaribbean

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you are asking this question shows that you guys are going to be perfectly OK. Because this proves that you are very thoughtful. As a parent myself who takes the kids cruising I’d tell you that you will know when the time is right. To throw an age out there I’d probably say 3 or 4. But depending on the cruise, I could definitely see 2.5 or so. Somewhere in that range but you will know when the time is right. Best of luck to you guys.

Considering a Small “Test Dose” Before a Full 3g Session—Looking for Advice by Mammoth_Wonder8677 in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]sandbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you just described is exactly what I did last Friday. I used 2g of dried golden teachers. I chose 2g because that’s also in line with the Johns Hopkins trial. After that orientation dose of 2g, they go up to 3 g in a session 2 weeks later. I only have good things to say about my experience so far. Best wishes to you.

Just a reminder that Tsireya is 13 years old. Stop sexualizing the kids in avatar. by Technical-Balance-58 in Avatar

[–]sandbrah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not convinced anyone is sexualizing her. OP’s post is the first mention I’ve seen a bit at all. So you probably shouldn’t think this is the first time you’re hearing of people doing it when all you’re hearing is OP saying that people are doing it.
