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.

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Instructions unclear, how do I restore my mental system32?
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?
The Unmentionable?
Bēt! Sāmek! Dālet!
All hail Daemon!
You shall not overcome my Arch Wizard!

Oh just like talking to actual tech support then

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
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.
Fuck yes, that's one way to do it.
I would be dead in this scenario.
Thus I do not do climbing.
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
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.
I don't understand the meaning of "Mom friend anxiety override"
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"😊
Yep. I can't call Dr's offices for me. I can however inform the manager that my friend's food is done wrong
Thank you.
wait... if you have social anxiety... and i have social anxiety...
then who's going to order the food?
Nosferatu! 😏
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.
This is true well into the millennial range (depending on parents, could go all the way to the end).
However, just because I can call someone doesn't mean I want to.
Ya, well into the 90s.
It's less if you want to but if you have the ability to. If you were born a Zoomer, you probably would lack that skill.
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.
Oh shit, I totally forgot. And sometimes the parents would eavesdrop on the call.
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.
