I feel like if I could remove my connotations from the word, Cicada itself would be an awesome name.

Lotta green on that burger, buddy. Cocks shotgun

Yeah, I can see a place smelling like a public swimming pool being off-putting. 10% bleach is really common across the food industry, though. Making bread, jerky, kombucha, and various grains, each facility had the same bleach concentration for cleaning (among other cleaning and sanitizing solutions).

I think it should’ve been called CORVID in the first place. It just sounds cooler and it still fits the naming convention.

Legend right here.

I appreciate how much you both work. I’ve done 80-hour weeks before. I’m not confident you have a strong grasp of the poverty gap, but I’m sorry you have an immediate (albeit terminable) struggle due to prior investments that you had the agency to make.

Also that.

If we’re studying the psychology of behavior in any life form, we can’t allow ourselves to fall into boxy or linear thinking. It’s a trap we’re prone to.

Pupils dilate differently in response to light, drugs, love, food, being Nala in the Lion King, getting punched in the eye, concussions, and genetic manipulation.

I thought it increased the uptake of particulates to the chemoreceptors in their noses, but I’m no dog therapist.

Yo, I’m just happy to learn new things! Hell, my post was imploring people to criticize it, so you aren’t wrong in “well actually”-ing me. Keep killing it and keep sharing good chemistry knowledge! Psychoactive substances are continuously more intriguing to me as I learn more.

I met one of the grandsons of Alex Shulgin (creator of MDMA) in a drug diversion class that I taught briefly at the University of Oregon (meant for kids that were caught smoking weed in the dorms). I only hosted the class for a few months until I got complaints that I was too fascinated with the drug interactions and not with the whole “diversion” part of it.

But hey, everyone learned not to mix central nervous system depressants, which was the largest cause of drug-related fatalities at the UO, so I think I did my job effectively. Wish they would have paid me for it.

You’re good people, havokdjfintquuffatcpl.

Hot take, but hurtfully inaccurate. It’s worth looking at the research on hallucinogenic Tryptamines. DMT naturally exists in the brain and is used during R.E.M. sleep.

God, that’s a book and a half of neuro-interaction, isn’t it?

I mean, they never didn’t exist, but… fuck.

I… I guess because a subclass of psychoactive molecules came into existence after my education, I’m wrong. Just sucks to learn that and make sense of myself thereafter.

Fuck.

Lysergemise deez nuts…

But in good faith and context, what are the differences in action potentials? Is it worth writing about? That’s an actual question, because (apologies) I’m stoned as fuck.

Also, how is it suddenly not a tryptamine?

I mean, this is going to sound super-oversimplified but hopefully correct: we know that Tryptamines like LSD and psilocybin serve their most novel functions on 5-HT_2A serotonin binding sites and there are a lot in the thalamus, which is largely responsible for routing information to other parts of the brain. That would explain a lot of people’s accounts of synesthesia.

The circumstances that are necessary to promote neuroplasticity weren’t clear when I was in skool, but the fastest way to get a credible answer on the internet is to be wrong about something, so I’m going to claim it was 95.6% magic.

One for dying alone in the woods, please.

You can turn off nudity in BG3, but it won’t push your buttons if you exclusively get off on space lasers.
