  • A 4yo has no business having unrestricted access to media, let alone YouTube. Current recommendations are 20 to 45 minutes a day at that age, depending on country / organization.

    YouTube has so much questionable content, kids shouldn’t be in a position to be able to click next and consume that crap.

    YouTube kids exists since 2015, but Elsagate happened around 2017/18, so I don’t exactly trust their content moderation.


  • It is “up to two years”, naturally, as mentioned in the article. I do agree two years is a span that is most likely rarely achieved, but I also remember that a single dose can basically cure* people of PTSD, so I do believe some people might be free of depression for 24 months if they processed their trauma / issues in a significant manner.

    Please remember, studies that use psychedelics don’t simply hand psychoactive substances to people and send them away, they do receive assistance (e. g. therapy) to process whatever issue they might have.

    • again, along with therapy


  • You can easily grow mushrooms that contain psilocybin at home. It’s an easy process, the internet has plenty of communities.

    If you are not very experienced with psychedelics, please inform yourself about best practices / harm reduction. Look into set and setting. Have people around who you trust.

    For most people, psychedelics are not a substitute for therapy. The healing happens in between trips, but you have to put in the work - don’t skip integration. The average Joe will need professional help for that.

    If you have serious issues or if you are repressing a lot of stuff, it will most likely come up during a trip and you will have to process it - psychedelics show you what you need, not what you want. That being said, most people that have a lot of experience with psychedelics will tell you even difficult trips will lead to positive gains.

    Overall, it’s mostly a marvelous and wonderful experience that can be life changing, but please treat it with the respect it deserves.





  • I know it’s an unfinished dev demo, but my god does combat look janky.

    Also, I would love to return to the days where an RPG and an “action RPG” were two different things. Pick from a bunch of classes, choose your path through one of 3 skill trees, run around, slash enemies - that’s not an RPG.

    I’m not saying the last comment is related to the dev demo in any form or shape, I guess those are just some of my feelings getting triggered.

    Sorry, there is no quality difference in mattresses that would warrant price difference above a few hundred dollars. This simple hasn’t been true for almost two decades. No mattress should cost $5000.

    I thought about adding a comment, but eventually got lazy. But you’re right - I also always make a point of reminding people WD40 is not a good lubricant, so I should have added that, PSA and all.

    So, for the record: in this case, I followed it up with an all-weather synthetic chain oil since the stuff I have on hand does have excellent corrosion protection and does in fact lube the bearings in my particular latch mechanism, while lasting.

    Thanks for bringing that up.

    Coincidentally, I repaired the latch on my car today. There was enough grime on the bearing that the tension of the spring wasn’t enough to retain the hook screwed to the hood. Unscrewing the whole latch, cleaning the grease off and spraying some WD40 on it to prevent it from rusting fixed that right up.

    It’s such a simple mechanism that the whole fix took 10 minutes, and it’s the first and only time that ever happened, after 125.000 miles.

    It got stuck on a trip, the hood opened a little, right up to the second hook you mentioned, so I used some speed tape to hold the hood down and be extra safe until I made it home to fix the underlying issue. This option doesn’t exist on the ridiculous mess that is the Cybertruck.

    It’s not that the idea isn’t right, it’s that they tried so hard to make it overly smart, but failed in almost every aspect.
