I'm not going to explicitly recommend it, as 'results may vary from one user to the next', but it's funny and bears consideration.

Instructions unclear, how do I restore my mental system32?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're on Lemmy - why are you even asking? The question is, having gained root access with drugs, do you reinstall with Mint, Arch, Nix, or The Unmentionable?

[–] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Unmentionable?

Bēt! Sāmek! Dālet!

All hail Daemon!

You shall not overcome my Arch Wizard!

I turned off my fear of wasps when one landed in my face while I was climbing a difficult section in a high ropes course

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I have a family of wasps that I've been at war with for a decade, they only attack me, even if I'm nowhere near their nest, they will ignore the person right near their nest and travel across my property to take it out on me. I fucking hate wasps. I'm sick of them stinging me on my head.

Sounds like you need to change shampoo brands, or at least use a different scent.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Fuck yes, that's one way to do it.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I would be dead in this scenario.

Thus I do not do climbing.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That sounds really nice. Lsd was helpful for me but not like that. More in a "hey, we've been noticing some shit you're up to and while you're in your own head and experiencing time dilation it's time to deal with it

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

If my experience is any indication, that tracks. Dose and over user reaction plays a major role in the trip.

I'm glad I only took psychedelics when I was in good places in my life. 😳

Oh god, I'm the Mum Friend with the anxiety override. I'm total garbage at this for myself but as soon as I'm sitting in a room with other anxious beans it's like the superpower activates.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand the meaning of "Mom friend anxiety override"

[–] dawnglider@lemmy.ml 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have terrible anxiety, but when people around me are as anxious (or more) than me, I suddenly feel I can push through any anxiety barrier. As far as I'm concerned it's a shift in expectation: going from being expected to be a normal functional social being to being expected to struggle in front of an insurmountable task ahead. It's broader than just anxiety too, but I think this might be what they mean by "mom friend anxiety override"😊

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Yep. I can't call Dr's offices for me. I can however inform the manager that my friend's food is done wrong

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 8 points 10 months ago
[–] MBM@lemmings.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

wait... if you have social anxiety... and i have social anxiety...
then who's going to order the food?

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Nosferatu! 😏

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Back in the late 80s when I wanted to talk to a friend, you had to pick up a phone and call. I think this trained the GenX kids to be able to use a phone.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's always funny explaining to people that grew up post cell phones that if we wanted to talk to a girl, we had to call her house phone, which often meant introducing yourself to her father first.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Oh shit, I totally forgot. And sometimes the parents would eavesdrop on the call.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

I have social anxiety but I've learned the trick to making calls on the phone: automaton-like disassociation.

I had to learn this in order to work at a call center job.
