My fraudy-sense is tingling… that said, I tossed $6 at some German company a few weeks ago and patted myself on the back.

Remember kids, you can donate to the Signal foundation… Moxie Marlinspike is an international treasure #changemymind 😉

I could laugh, I could cry… what a fucking parasite of a company. They are basically just PatientTrolls© trolls at this point. Why didn’t I renew my copyright on trolling 😭

Chowtime boys 🐕

That almost amazingly, it will get worse.

Because you don’t want her giving you a face massage so you can take a brain poop? Gonna need some further explanation, chief.

LOL, he’s got people for stuff like that 🤣 (Finding and buying the drugs)

Everyone contemplating taking anything that didn’t come sealed from a reputable pharmaceutical company should do a metric-fuckton of research… do their best to understand what is happening, what the risks are, take the smallest dose they can and make sure it doesn’t burn a hole in their tongues ;-)

IMHO, the whole thing is more dangerous then it used to be because fentanyl. It’s hard to understand what a milligram is until you have tried to weigh one.

If you’re lucky enough to live in Europe, for the love of god take full advantage of dancesafe.whatever, a $25 GCMS test is a bargain! If you can’t afford to sacrifice one dose your playing Russian roulette!

A full reagent test kit and fentanyl test strips are the minimum, again IMHO.

Sorry if that all got a bit preachy… I have not even checked the sidebar here to see if best practices/harm reduction principles have made it over from Reddit.

I’m not going to crack on Musk when John Stewart just did such a great job… but I’ll take one more crack at scaring the new kids:

The risk from excessive ketamine use is the opposite of what they depicted in the show (Daily Show, June 2nd, 2025). It’s excessive urinary retention. Fellas, they will have to put a catheter up your pee-pee-hole and let the juice out. Ladies, I assume it’s the same.

At the time I read that U.K. study they were removing people’s bladders because of the cancer risk. I refuse to contemplate the implications 😱

Everyone go find something to hug, even if it’s just a tree. I’m going to take a nap with 3 cats.

That would be my recommendation too… just to lazy to find the original source DOI.

Yeah. It’s not hard to develop a tolerance to the stuff. If he was trying to using it daily for 4+ months I can’t imagine how much he was taking by the end to get the same effect.

I’m not sure what bladder problems he was having, but at 50… it might not be the K ;-)

There’s a designer version called deschloroketimine that’s better for that, but I haven’t had any luck sourcing it lately. Maybe the Elon can go to South America and build us a clandestine laboratory 🤣

I’m only familiar with reports of bladder damage in very heavy users, presumably months of continuous use. I want to say damage to the cells lining the bladder, with their bladders having to be removed.

Again this is from memory; one of the 6 individuals had a structural anomaly that prevented urine from contacting a portion of the bladder, and these cells were undamaged.

As your kidneys are responsible for removing the K from your bloodstream it’s reasonable to assume some potential for similar harm.

A few grams a year is unlikely to cause a problem. Always test everything you get. 50 fentanyl test strips cost $14 bucks… about the same for a single reagent test kit.

I’ll second Zenni, been ordering from them for 10+ years.

I still use an old 6x8 wireless Wacom tablet. It’s my 3rd Wacom tablet… it takes a bit of tweaking all the settings, but their software is great.

I didn’t discover that there are about 10 different nibs stored inside the pen cup for years.

I love Affinity Designer for vector work. The rope stabilizer and line editing tools are great.

It’s nice to know there’s like 5 of us 🤣

It’s easier to ingest than the way I speak ;-)

Just griping a bit about what’s probably more of a design/branding change than anything.

I think fakespot is promising tech that we desperately need more of.

Can’t hurt to have it in their hands, hope to see more server resources ;-)

Sorry… busy day and I’m going to need a real computer for this 😅

RE Free… nothing really, just being bitter. I’m not a huge fan of a lot of the little tie-ins like Pocket, but I respect the hustle… if not the business plan.

The Amazon review thing they bought is Fakespot™, check it out if you shop on Amazon. Here the Ai nonsense is just some summaries of the reviews it digested… not inherently bad, but the whole experience is painfully slow. Still. Well worth checking out if you haven’t.

Shady dude gets a 📌 for now. Sorry. Time.

If you check out Fakespot you can’t miss it. Have yet to try the browser integration, although I have enabled it for some reason…  

You gotta love that there are benchmark for that… The company that can’t even get free, right.

I really like their Amazon reviews thing that they bought… I bet the shady dude that had all the fucking people finder sites was in charge of that cause it’s got the same kind of fucking cheesy-graphic-load-screen… basically, the only functional piece of software they had at that point cause they hadn’t touched it, and then they went an AIed it up…

Here’s a new idea, why doesn’t everybody in the fediverse post their favorite privacy enhanced Firefox rebrand:

Hopefully a few thousand of them were the ones responsible for making the website dog shit 😅

Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???

Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.

Obviously you’ve never been… everything here causes cancer. We’re amending the law next year so we can just label everything that isn’t carcinogenic because it will substantially reduce the number of Prop 65 labels that end up in landfills ;-)

Try picking your front door… could be very instructive ;-)
