How to pass/invalidate a lie-detector test.

They are not considered admissible evidence in court (but the criminal justice system still use them to a degree…), and they can be interpreted with intentional bias, so I think it’s fine to share.

One of my psychology professors told me that if you hide something like a sewing needle in your shoe’s insole, you can ever so slightly apply pressure so that the poke causes a physiological spike. They monitor for movement, so it has to be very minute. The goal is to do this on every control question so that they cannot establish a baseline and have to give up.

While I’m not ethically opposed pirating, I understand and would probably do the same for a server I was hosting. Anybody remember Kim Dotcom’s mansion raid?

What I do not understand is blocking a community surrounding magic mushrooms… No one is going to prosecute the L.W admins for people discussing shrooms/their use…

Substances are legal/illegal depending on where one lives, just like weed which is apparently perfectly fine to post here, even tho possession is a death sentence in some countries.

It simply doesn’t logically follow that weed, or even alcohol communities are permissible while a shroom community is not.

Banning any content deemed illegal in any country in the world establishes a very dangerous precedence (if that’s the justification here). Free speech/dissenting from the government is illegal in many places in the world.

One thing the community must remember tho, is that you have to operate your server in accordance with the law in which country you’re hosting it (in this case Germany).

I’ll gladly admit I’m not too familiar with German law, but it seems unreasonable to expect government persecution for hosting servers which hosts a shroom discussion community.

Ah yes, the Categorical Imperative!

My philosophy may be a little rusty…

Then you come out facts swinging, and despite possessing vastly more knowledge on the subject and presenting factual/cited corrections to their claims, you are the one downvoted because the userbase has already decided the false claim is more fun to believe.

Let them continue to devolve in their cesspool. They can have it… They deserve it…

If I see a comment with an emoji or two, I could care less. If I see a comment that is just agreement and emojis, I downvote the hell out of it.

Just upvote and move on. Don’t clutter up comments with useless emojis. That just suppresses relevant discussion. It’s as useless and dumb as the comments that simply say “This.”

That’s not to say I’m downvoting due to emojis, but rather due to irrelevant discussion. But I will admit if I see a comment that is filled with them (but still has relevant discussion) I downvote because I’d rather not have comments devolve into FB mom quality emoji-laden garbage.

Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you’re browsing r/AnimalPorn…

I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah… I know the hypocrisy of my username… It’s my gamertag)
