I know the reference but just fyi, this was not nearly as common as claimed and not responsible for a lot of witch trial stuff. It was more like cops interrogating people until they freak out, then claim “fine I wrote my name in the devil’s book, but Becky did too!!” And then it ended up some prosecutorial bullshit with them wanting a confession out of everyone.

The “funny” thing is, those that confessed and repented often survived and lived normal lives. It’s more people that denied it and had others claim they were witches were executed.

And there are weird instances like a guy who confessed but was still executed… But he legitimately was giving divinations, and telling people how many children they would have. Like a back in the day psychic. The witch trial stuff really, really didn’t like divination. Herbs and midwifery stuff was way less of a big deal, and an honored profession being a “physic”. It was not considered witchcraft to use herbs to heal people unless you did weird rituals.

For grain to give you hallucinations, it has to be rye grain and in a cold and wet climate, which ergot specifically would grow in. Then the rye grain itself would grow big black visible horns, and they would still need to not discard that obvious contaminated grain and grind it into flour. Then that flour was eaten, and they hallucinated. And it fucked up your veins and gave you black limbs often too.

There’s often not great evidence for this phenomenon unless they are in a cold and damp area growing rye, and report the medical issues on top, black limbs.

People act like if you let bread mold it’ll grow it, but that’s not the case. It’s much more rare of a phenomenon, a fungus that attacks rye itself.

I’d say ethics aside, it’s inherently dangerous to pirate executable files… so there’s an argument to just not do it to avoid viruses.

I personally would never pirate an executable file for that reason alone. A lot of games have demos these days thankfully, so that’s a way to get a taste and see if it’s worth buying. And in my experience, I got bored of several demos and saved money! And some I realized I would probably really enjoy it.

Ethically though? I mean, if they offer a demo and they’re an indie studio, I think it’s much more ethical to try the demo.

you could literally make a shotgun with that too. Saw a YouTube video. Two pipes, one fit in the other, small one was the right size to hold a shell, and a nail at the end of the closed pipe triggered it if you used your hands to hit it.

Super effective and easy one shot shotgun. there’s no real way to regulate guns IMO. They’re not complicated devices.

It’s all computer

Just your daily reminder that Peter Thiel is an anagram for THE REPTILE

how about we have primaries and find out this time

Shrooms are some of the most healing medicines. Sometimes it takes just one macro dose to literally cure you of something.

I smoked for like 15 years then vapes for 15, and hardcore. Quit completely after one 5g trip, and haven’t smoked for years since.

Garden can only help so much when your issue is gardening is threatened

Reducing waste and canning however, good ideas imo

Seems disengeniuous. He stepped down mid fucking campaign. That is acting.

You can say all you like that people should have done it earlier or said something, but ffs your candidate acts a bit old or weird one day, do you go to the presses and say he’s senile? Being under a lot of stress causes people to act funny. You don’t know if it’s too much until it’s too much.

Racism in, racism out

Nah, I don’t think it’ll “ruin” the internet in the disaster sense. It’s already done enough that it ruined reddit, quora, other social media, but those weren’t really information sources as much as companies selling addictive brain rot to steal your data. They are not on the same level as wikipedia, or even representative or what the internet is. Even if you got useful stuff off reddit once upon a time, it was always about tracking you and capturing your data and making you addicted to wasting your time watching bullshit.

What we’re seeing and this “top economist” is saying is just “this is a bubble” in other words without saying the B word. People tune out the B word because they believe in the technology. A bubble has nothing to do with whether AI works, and all to do with the behavior of investors and unsustainable investments. So many people these days have to dance around the bubble word because people think it means you are anti-AI.

We will likely see things remain more or less the same except one day investors freak out and stop investing in AI, and then tech will go through a ton of shitty layoffs and people will struggle and some rich day trader type fucks will lose their livelihoods, just like the dotcom era. But after that, we will still have generative AI tools here and there, maybe more restricted to better use cases and not shoved in your face everywhere, but LLM will still be a thing.

Yeah, it means you’ll likely have fucked social media forever, bots, propaganda, fake news, fake AI videos of bullshit, but social media always was about controlling your thought patterns. It already fucking sucked. That part of the internet was always shit. But interconnected devices sending data to each other and allowing researchers in Oslo Norway to talk to researchers in Omaha Nebraska, that will still very much be alive and work well.

Nah, looks like this thing has too many body holes, and the belly button wouldn’t be there.

By abductee reports those things can be smooth as barbie dolls, more like remote control biological androids/cyborgs.

Well, except they split them between the tall and short kind. These appear way too tall to fit the small android version. They don’t say as much about the tall greys.
