  • No, they don’t “fail basic science”. They point out that there is a correlation and we need better studies, but the mere existence of the correlation is worrying, especially considering a lot of recent studies are confirming the link between cannabis and teen psychosis. A lot of the early studies on the harm of cigarettes started similarly. Correlation between lung cancer and smoking tobacco doesn’t imply causation, but it’s one hell of an alarm bell.

    The author of the article themselves doesn’t say cannabis is a gateway drug and even recognizes that asking people to just not use it isn’t realistic.


  • Props to you for choosing being yourself even though it’s hard!

    My coming out was pretty messy too. I can only tell you that it gets better. You already have a good social safety net from what I can understand on your post, but I would recommend too that if you don’t have already, start making new IRL trans friends. They are sure to help you navigate this moment.

    “Hypno Fetish” had its own space on a bingo card over on /r/Traaaaannns2, so it can’t be that uncommon. Does anyone share this curiosity?

    I have had this fetish since before coming out, but as an hipnotist. I don’t really like the idea of being sexually hypnotized, and my transition feels too “sacred” for me to like feminization/sissy content in general. I don’t even like it with other people honestly, it feels like the most boring kind of hypnosis to me.

    Do people engage with erotic hypnosis in a responsible manner? The rational part of my brain says that’s impossible: it’s like inviting someone to “root” your “flesh robot,” for a combination of money and their own entertainment. Feels like asking to be taken advantage of.

    At the end of the day it’s a lot about trust and informed consent. It’s fundamentally not that different from let’s say, if I’m a rigger. Me and my sub should have mechanisms to maintain consent, and they should trust that I will untie them if consent is removed.

    inb4 “they can’t get you to do anything you don’t want to”

    Oftentimes the point (at least for less scrupulous hypnotists) is to expand the limits of “consent.” Also, when you’re sufficiently horny you’ll do almost anything.

    That’s why people have tags and similar stuff. That enters in con non con territory and some people are into it. Others are not and should be able to stay clear from it.



  • It really doesn’t get general knowledge correct.

    AI will often confuse itself because the answers are probabilistic. So it often is right, but just as often is hallucinating random BS, because AI doesn’t really know shit. It just detects patterns.

    I just saw a post on Reddit about GPT claiming Argentina is the second most populated country in South America (which is false, it’s Colombia), but since Argentina is usually second place in most lists in the region, GPT tends to place Argentina in there anyway.
