Good luck not hiring a scammer…

Wouldn’t you pay a lot more taxes on the lump sum and subsequent capital gains?

it’s generally best to take the lump sum

Why? I would assume it's the other way round.

this is such an unapologetic 2008 meme that I ain't even mad

Unnecessary context: the â means that it used to be ’raspe’, from which the English word rasp (a type of file) originates.

Everything on the fediverse is usually pseudonymous but public. That's why it would be good for people to read up a little on differential privacy. Not necessarily too much theory, but the basics and the practical implications, like here or here.

Basically, the more messages you post on a single account, the more specific your whole profile is to you, even if you don't post strictly identifying information. That's why you can share one personal story, and have it not compromise your privacy too much by altering it a little. But if you keep posting general things about your life, it will eventually be so specific it can be nobody but you.

What you do with this is up to you. Make throwaway accounts, have multiple accounts, restrict the things you talk about. Or just be conscious that what you are posting is public. That's my two cents.

So what’s your alternative hypothesis?

As I mentioned, I didn’t understand that I was having a panic attack. Mind you, there were periods of time when the words of my friends just felt like gibberish to me. I was not capable of coherent thought.

I don’t think it’s helpful to tell people that bad trips are avoidable. The probability can be lowered and consequences can be mitigated to some extent but the risk is always there.

Edit: Towards the end of the trip, my friends tried telling me it’s gonna be alright and you are just under the influence of a drug.

I elaborate in another comment. But I think psychedelics are not good for a certain percentage of the population, myself included. Of course set and setting affects the odds of a bad trip, they were bad in my case as well.
