The reason we suspect the pineal gland is cause it has all the ingredients…

Which it also needs to produce the sleep molecule melatonin. Which is a triptomine.

The theory is that it shifts over to producing a large amount of dmt twice, at birth, and at death. (If i recall correctly)

Autistic people can produce some of the best types of satire. So i am saying both.

It doesn’t need to be, there is reasonable proof that humans and other mammals naturally synthesises (trace amounts off) dmt, which are presumed to be used and broken down incredibly quickly. We still don’t know why, what its used for or have hard proof where its produced (pineal gland is main suspect for having all ingredients in theory)

In theory something could trigger an effect that stops it from breaking down or produce it at a faster rate, therefore triggering psychedelics effects with out the consumed substance containing anything psychedelic itself.

Dmt is known for seeing (machine) elves, does not sound that far away from seeing mini people.

I dont really know these things but i always just assumed rye (and barely) was just a kind of wilder less domesticated wheat.

The bible.

Sodom and Gomorrah and the story of Jacob are basically an iq test.

Not only do the stories sound highly unreal, even if they are real the only rational conclusion is that god is evil and petty.

That said, the philosophies of Jesus are pretty cool and often still relevant today.

In that case, it seems i am guilty of piracy already, guess i might as well start indulging.

No no , thats just standard operation. As long as the “owner” and shareholders ends up with more money than they started they do not give a fuck.

If Ronald wanted they could sell their nuggets and fries in the freezer section of a supermarket. Then everone could enjoy the product of all their taste science at home.

Its capitalism that ruins it.

Always fun when it tries to circumvent the problem i gave it.

“Hey claude i have had this issue for a while and i want to explore to understand whats going on to finally fix it”

Many frustrating back and forth later

“This clearly isn’t working, what if we tried to circumspect the issue by doing something else entirely like workaround i have been using for the last month “

Duckduckgo -> selfhosted searxng… startpage has also not yet been involved in any controversy for a non selfhosted option.

Copy paste of why duck duck go is a problem:

Now I little after this came out they do claim they removed them (odd how that suddenly changes after it was no longer secret) But then much more recent as listed on wikipedia, verifying they still have some long term deals with microsoft in **2025**… microsoft is not going to make a deal with a perceived competitor for nothing in return.

By August 2025, Bing planned to cut off access to its search APIs in a push to sell more AI-related APIs, though **DuckDuckGo believed that larger companies like it with long-term deals would not be affected** 62 Bing had dramatically raised rates for its search API in 2022 after ChatGPT debuted. 62

There is also more general proof that while duck may technically use other sources also. It really is mostly bing:

During a Bing API outage in 2024, DuckDuckGo stopped showing results, indicating that Bing provided a substantial portion of DuckDuckGo’s results.69 70

I literally do not understand how they managed to take such foothold in real privacy communities. I used to love brave till the i was repeatedly pointed to the scandals that many people are aware of and informing others about… but considering ddg i rarely see anyone pointing this out. It actually smells like a huge successful marketing adventure to sell bing to privacy enthusiasts, but for that i obvio do not have proof. I often imagine this meme with bing instead of google and a cute duck go as mr incognito

What if you don’t have a webcam?

“For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives,”

Security is as good as the weakest link, either bots will exploit the accessibility feature making the webcam step for humans unnecessary… or its just as secure… making the webcam step unnecessary.

Blatent attempt to extract data from you and nothing more if you ask me.

I have no knowledge of this drama or hard feelings for your instance in either direction.

But was that ever a thing? I joined a month after you and there where options plenty.

They do usually “grow” “up” but i agree, even encourage this dynamic.

Part of (what i would call “real”) maturity is recognising when it’s ok to stop acting mature and just have fun.

Maturity is realising there is no such thing as an adult but still behaving like one at specific times because you understand that that is the better way to get things done in that setting.

Everyone grows up, many people can behave in an adult way (including children), but actually maturity often still feels rare.

Or like the other comment mentioned, could now for the first communicate with His daughter and family.

It really depends what the expectation is here.

On face value this wish is not different then “i want to be a doctor, marine biologist, astronaut” These things require years of professional expertise.

But does the kid really want to become an degree holding expert in a field… or do they just want to feel like what they think the job entails.

Its definitely incorrect that being a “hacker” is illegal. In many interpretations a hacker is simply someone who uses technology creatively in sometimes unintended ways. But i am assuming they mean computer hacker specifically.

My suggestion would be to start with giving the kid a laptop with linux and to follow some guides on how to use the terminal, you learn a lot about how computers work that way. There are also apps to emulate a linux terminal on a phone/tablet which can be complementary to the laptop to experiment with a small network of devices.

A starter project would be to build a bootable usb that you can plug in any laptop/pc usb port. They could use that as their personal “hacker os” that can be kept safe seperatly from their device. With this technically any wild pc with an unlocked bios can be temporarily be turned in your pc where you are admin with your tools and files where you are admin.

Another cool project they could learn is how to setup a remote connection to acces a terminal on a pc on another network (using ssh-key (secure), not passwords (insecure) it does mean someone needs to setup that pc with an open port but the first time i tunnelend into my own network this way it definitely made me feel like a hacker. And a “real hacker” would need to know those basics first anyway.

You might also want to check sdf.org they provide free unix shells and guides for all kinds of stuff.

I actually looked this up earlier today because i didn’t understand part of it.

An ssh key is, as i understand it, a way to encrypt the connection so only a device that has they key can unlock it.

There are 2 parts, a private key which should never be shared and a public one which can freely be shared.

You usually generate both keys on the device that connects to the ssh, keep the private key on there with the public key going on the server. Thats the part that confused me. (Why is the secret one not on the server i don’t want people to access)

But the way it works is that the public key is used to encrypt/lock something.And only the private key can unlock it.

Any other device that tries to connect just gets an encrypted connection they don’t have the key for. Because these keys are so long no current day tool can guess or crack them. So it is the absolute safest way to establish an ssh connection.

Quantum computers might in the future be able to break them but solutions for this are being worked on.

There are also some systems where you have 2 key pairs where the server also has a private key, to authenticate both ways.
