  • Seriously, the two low/mid range Japanese clothing companies in my country (Uniqlo & Muji) both make very good garments, especially for the price.

    The bit that is harder to interpret is whether my assumption of Muji and Uniqlo being good quality is true (even when compared to clothing of yesteryear), or if it’s relative to most other clothes on the market being cheaply made trash.

    Or do the nice high quality garments of previous generations survive (much like some tools, appliances, furniture), whilst the cheap crap existed, broke and just ended up in the landfill, creating the perception of things used to be made to a higher quality?





  • The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

    People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

    Surprised Pikachu face

    You see it in other drug using communities; it’s really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

    Personally I’ve found NAC helps, where it didn’t before when my meds still add their “magic”



  • How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.

    This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China

    If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective

    1. Is this a quirk of the fediverse?

    The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy

    2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.

    If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.



  • I’m gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you’re experiencing something close to a manic episode.

    When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?

    Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?

    How long have you been feeling like this?

    Do you have someone you can communicate the way you’re feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?

    Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you’re probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you’re probably not God.

    Don’t worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it’s likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what’s going on.

    The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I’m feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:

    “This too shall pass”, it’s a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.


  • What is your standard dose?

    And out of curiosity are you American?

    For some reason Americans seem to be way more adverse to having generic versions of medications, I don’t know if it’s to do with how the FDA does things, or to do with the amount of medication advertising there, but in the UK no-one typically cares if a medication is generic as long as delivery mechanism and dose are the same.

    So I’ll almost certainly get a different brand of sertraline each month, and a different brand of dexamphetamine. The only medication which is brand name that I get is Elvanse, but even then that’s produced by different manufacturers but branded all the same, just under licence from the patent owner.

    Tbh the hypothermia sounds like vasoconstriction and/or possibly low blood sugar.

    The vasoconstriction can be caused by the higher dose, especially if you consume caffeine.

    I had to quit coffee for 8 months due to the horrible vasoconstriction/chills I’d get with it, after those 8 months I eventually started drinking tea, without getting chills anywhere near as much, now when I do it’s an indicator that I need food, especially if my hands have a slight jitter.

    In all honestly higher doses of methylphenidate can leave you feeling somewhat depersonalised/disassociated, even changes in dose-timings can cause it, taking more smaller doses can also change the methylphenidate/blood concentration which you may be subconsciously picking up on…

    Other things that can throw blood concentrations off: Grapefruit (fruit or juice) Vitamin C Excessive coffee/soft drinks
