The visuals you get from psychedelics and the visuals from imagination are different. Psychedelics seem to affect your real visual field. You're not imagining textures melting with…

That checks out. Years ago I noticed a vulnerability through the photography board. You'd upload your pictures, and 4chan would display all the EXIF info next to the post. 4chan's …

Maybe not, but it's okay to not be the very best, and it's okay to fail. And it's especially okay when comparing ourselves to one of the few dozen names from before the Julian cale…

You're right, of course. There is a difference between methylphenidate and other amphetamine-class stimulants for ADHD, but I didn't know what to call it. I should have said it's n…

>Sorry for the slight divergence from the focus on ketamine, but more generally, does anyone know if this applies to other medications that alter the brain's function? Tolerance is…

It doesn't recognize Tor Browser as such, but in this case calling its anti-fingerprinting user agent a "desperate lack of personality" happens to be more a compliment than a roast…

More backstory: The ID assigned to posts is a sequential incrementing number. So it is possible to "aim" for a nice round number by posting at the right time When people notice tha…

Ah, fair enough! I'm only trying to describe the state of things today, but certainly those uses of the word are not new

For the record, that's not it. People calling each other "autists" is a WallStreetBets practice, from Reddit. It's not a thing on 4chan, not even on the interesting place that is /…

I had heard that there's a community of people who insufflate caffeine on Reddit, but this one is news to me. Seems a little funny to go through all the trouble and extreme stigma …

>But you wouldn't say the same thing to a diabetic who needs insulin, right?. Yes, that's where I'm conflicted. At the same time that I try to pretend using psychedelics for ADHD w…

>As a ground-level example, you can have a task on your mind all day, to the point where you can't relax or do anything else productive, but still get nowhere with it. >I had some …

Thank you, I appreciate particularly all attempts at harm reduction, that's very thoughtful and kind of you. Narcan (naloxone) is a wonderful thing, that I wish was more broadly av…

You're right. I use it as a euphemism, I think because the stigma is so strong even I feel uncomfortable writing it. It is in fact mail-order "street" metamphetamine from an online…

I did a volumetric dilution of desoxyn crystals, in an attempt to find some alternative tool to manage my ADHD, as a complement to the very limited solutions available in my countr…

That's mostly a myth, it's not very well absorbed through the skin at all. For a thumbprint, you still put your thumb on your tongue and lick it. But it's important to keep in mind…

A kilogram is a lot, considering LSD is active at microgram doses, although in practice there are labs producing and handling kilograms of it. LSD in powder form is readily availab…

Many people have tried to describe it and report their experiences. See https://www.erowid.org/ for a large collection

A lot of people in or around tech are furries, are into things like japanese animation, or are into My Little Pony. I don't consider myself one, but people often jokingly say that …

Opioids should require a reasonable bar, if we go from a really low bar to a really high bar, all we are doing is making the same mistake twice, but in opposite directions. The wil…

Okay, I see what you mean with the clean hands analogy now. I've definitely seen people on social media for example using OCD as an exaggeration for completely normal, even positiv…

Autism is also classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder, and yet it is a spectrum. The fact that we, as humans, have to decide who gets the label of 'Has the Disorder' and who d…

It seems bitterly ironic that the people who need those stimulant medications the most tend to be those who will have the most trouble jumping through all the hoops, and continuing…

That's entirely fair. I do the same, a lot. I like writing macros, using regexes, or even short awk scripts to automate any manual text workflows. I'm not trying to deny your exper…

I think you're right that focusing on group effects will be more productive, but I probably reach the same conclusion for different reasons :) I intuitively don't like the idea of …
