  • Traditionally the drug is sold to you on perforated paper, which you plop in your mouth for a while before discarding. It comes in “sheets” of a 100 doses, “strips” of ten, and “tabs” of one single dose. You can pretty easily cut a tab in half with scissors to take a half dose if desired.

    The actual amount per tab depends on the person who made it and the conditions it has been in since. The “standard” is 100 micrograms, in practice you could see anything from like 50-120.

    “Recommend” is a strong word, as much as people love it it’s irresponsible to “recommend”. But usually if you get a new strip (or if it’s literally your first time) it’s wise to try half a dose first. Make sure your set and setting are on point at any dose. If you have a great experience and want to try larger doses it’s wise to try gradual increases rather than take huge jumps. Lots of people decide that first half tab is absolutely perfect and never feel the need to go higher







  • There is no hinting. I am directly accusing you of interpretive cherry picking, with the added politeness of suggesting that it may be unintentional. I will continue to be polite in this fashion, although I have growing doubts as to your sincerity.

    And that’s all good and all feels very natural, and nobody should feel pressured to be anything else

    Since you read that, what about it sounded judgy and prescriptivist?




  • I’ve considered that, and I agree in theory, but is that something that occurs on the level of sexual attraction?

    In practice I feel like it’s a romantic quality, i.e. “since we are both non-binary, I feel we understand each other and I feel especially safe with you, and in fact this type of relationship is the only one I would want”,

    I suppose in this manner you could easily be a gay demisexual enbie, but I wonder of the larger cohort of people who experience a more immediate sexual attraction

    Again, not that it’s important to have this all ironed out neatly. I just feel like it hasn’t been ironed out neatly, you know?


  • Hey as long as we’ve got experts here, could a purely non binary person be considered gay or heterosexual in any configuration or are they always bisexual? Even if only as a limitation of the language?

    To elaborate on that I am nonbinary and bisexual myself and without missing a beat it’s like every non-binary person I meet is also bisexual. And that’s all good and all feels very natural, and nobody should feel pressured to be anything else

    But like, if I was trying to not be bisexual, what would that look that? Would I just start listing specific preferences and the orientation just wouldn’t have a particular name?


  • Reading around a bit now, I guess officially he denies steroid use during season 1 and says he only began using before season 2 after the season 1 push “wrecked his body” and he got some scary bloodwork relating to suppressed testosterone levels

    So if we take that at face value, it seems like he was having health issues at one point which steroids then fixed lol.

    Random side note, but I went looking around his socials to see if he was shilling anything and he appears to have a freaky ai generated image of him one arm deadlifting 3 plates while chilling on a wooden deck and talking on the phone. Featured prominently on his personal website

    Edit: I found it so unsettling that I looked it up. It’s from a men’s health photoshoot. Article is “Jack Reacher Goes Big”. It also has a video of him bicep curling it (let the introductory video play). Not AI, just badly made prop weights. He cropped the image and is using it to promote himself without context on his personal website which is why it looks so out of place






  • And there’s a million and one different reasons why the context behind a piece causes someone to dislike it even if they initially liked it. It works the other way too, if you like something and you find out it had a cool story behind it, lots of people will like it even more.

    “I fish the least digested looking bits of corn from the shit pile” is just not a good story lol
