  • The Dread Pirate Roberts reference is from the movie Princess Bride.

    Wesley spends years building up an immunity to a fictional substance called "iocaine powder", the most deadly substance known to man. He tricks a foe into drinking wine laced with it, killing his foe while he survives.

  • The instance is in Germany from what I understand. Regardless, their justification was that shrooms are illegal in most places. That being their main point sets up the contradiction that I am referring to. It casts a bit of doubt on the intent and how to interpret rule 1.

    The admins don't have to abide by their rules, but we do.

  • It absolutely is not the correct response. LTT and GN are very public and the suggestion to take the conversation private is bad. There is no backroom conversation that can "fix" shitty data.

    I agree with Linus taking accountability for publishing bad test results. That is a good thing. Talking shit about GN and refusing to walk back on that is bad. That is unprofessional.

  • They can do that! As a matter of fact, I support compliance with local regulations.

    The problem is, they aren't. They are picking and choosing laws to follow. Their instance is located in Germany, but yet, their marijuana legalization laws are only in draft: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2023/07/10/germany-unveils-draft-bill-to-legalize-cannabis/?sh=5ed53b322726

    They are using the justification that "some things are illegal in some countries" as grounds for community suspension, yet, they are picking and choosing.

  • It's illegal to talk about piracy and shrooms? I can see posts getting deleted for directly trafficking in pirated stuff or if someone was trying to openly sell sketchy drugs.

    Anything that is allowed on this site could be a target for legal action. Even their unverified access to porn is grounds for legal action in most places.

    You need to look at the complete picture of the bias that is involved.

  • Which would prove my point. Lulz.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Which Lemmy instance is your new favorite, and why?

  • Lemmy.world Support @lemmy.world

    Please fix Rule 1.

  • Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It's a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!

    Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don't talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!

    Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.

    I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It's not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.

  • I have a remarkable connection to reality when I eat mushrooms, it seems. I can just point my brain in a direction and it will go as far as I let it. For me, and I don't know what to call it, I have an interesting "reality bubble" that I can "stay in" if I desire. It's a part of my brain that knows that everything I am seeing is not real and where I can make somewhat decent choices if I need. I have a tripping inner dialogue as well as a "normal" internal dialogue that keeps me sane. It's... Interesting.

    If I have a task to do, like drawing something or working in CAD, it will keep my brain somewhat focused albeit with a ton of added flair.

    And no, I can't control all of my thoughts but those still remain somewhat superficial and are not really that intrusive. However, letting my mind go free and letting me think about things from a different perspective is probably the primary reason I trip. My personal mental barriers that I have put up over the years are needing to be torn away so I can become the good person I strive to be and deal with some aspects of my past in a somewhat healthy way. I have no fear of a "bad trip" as I view it as an aspect of my life and personality that needs further exploration.

    I should note that I have a very high tolerance and psilocybin is a perfect match for my personality type and brain chemistry. (Weed, for example, gets me super paranoid and is not for me.) I can easily eat 5-10 grams just to get me started and have eaten as much as 20 grams throughout an evening.

    Short term memory loss is a thing as well. I can completely forget what it was a wanted to think about, but after a bit, I can usually get focused on something. What usually happens is that my brain figures out the solution to the problem I wanted to think about extremely fast so there is not much to ponder on. :P

  • The username does align, but that is not proof in itself and could explain the downvote. For the purposes of this thread, I believe!

  • These are questions you should ponder after a nice healthy dose of psilocybin. You can be just about anywhere you want to be and pick what works for you.

  • Once the service stops using Twitter, it could be considered a full "switch" I suppose.

  • Phone text, in general, is interesting on psychedelics. For me, text just turns into an incomprehensible squiggles that look kind of like letters but absolutely aren't. Things that look dull usually tend to stay that way during a trip. Bright colors and tie-die are awesome though.

  • Old hardware is awesome to reuse most of the time but it's not nearly as efficient as our hardware today.

    It's probably good to just properly recycle the old gear and spend $200 on a mini-PC from Amazon that has three times the power all while using less electricity.

    I usually completely tear down old equipment into is raw materials, the best I can. It's less likely to be shipped off to another country for uncontrolled destruction and I get more money back for the materials.

  • They are just trying to emulate Google.

  • Edit in some Chinese subtitles and the shadow of a front row of people and you can make it really look like an authentic rip.

  • I will echo many others here: It's going to be rough getting good deliveries. While you are planning on running a proxy, that is basically the same as running an open port where your server is. While it may seem to be a good idea to send email from a random AWS address, it really isn't. Unless you are behind an IP that is specifically trusted as an email source, your traffic has a higher probability of getting dropped. (Many dynamic IP ranges for home internet connections are marked as invalid or untrusted sources, btw.)

    Additionally, email servers are a hot commodity, especially if they are not blocked (yet) by the larger filter providers. All it takes is one or two reports or a poorly configured firewall/IDS to auto-trigger a submission of your IP address as "bad". By hot commodity, I mean you are going to get fuck tons of vulnerability scans. It's not the end of the world, but it's super annoying.

    If I was operating as a Jr. Security Analyst again and saw and sus traffic coming from your address, I would submit a block and not think twice about it. Hell, most of those types of blocks are automated anyway.

    However, if you do set one up and all is golden, great! It's worth the experience but something I won't ever do again. (Yes I did run my own email server before.)
