Gotta get dex to 75 before unlocking that perk.

You use your time machine to travel back to the year 1350 and make contact with a Mesoamerican society that just loves to capture, torture, and execute their neighbors en masse, because doing this is a Good Thing. It pleases the gods or whatever. You think it's a Bad Thing though. You are now outnumbered 100,000 to 1. How do you prove to them that your moral code is the Universally True one, and not theirs?

> mankind, from civilization to civilization, has largely kept the same set of basic morality regardless of where they are or what religion they possess

> murder ... pretty universally seen as wrong

I have no idea how you could be even passingly familiar with societies like the Mongols or Aztecs and believe this to be true.

The calmest people I know are black belts who can pretzelfy 99% of people. You should try meeting some.

K, omw to bang your wife

I strongly recommend finding a gym for Brazilian jiu jitsu, judo, muay thai, boxing, etc. They're constantly being testing and evolved through MMA fights, and they'll get you some full-contact, full-intensity sparring experience.

> drop inflammatory remarks to see how I respond, to identify which side of the culture war I am on

Very real, and very hilarious. I called a tow truck recently in rural CO, and the driver asked where I lived. Upon hearing NYC, the first words out of his mouth were "I hear that's a real shithole. My phone's been telling me murders and robberies are way up." God bless America.

> how much of this is just having a welcoming scene where people emphasize physical touch and friendly interaction?

Most of it, I would bet. From experience, I can say a night out on MDMA can be almost as lonely/alienating as one on ethanol. Still super interesting and fun, but nothing as enlightening as the positive anecdotes above.

Example: if you're physically attractive, but socially stunted, an MDMA night will give you a taste of The Other Side. If your situation is the other way around, guess what - physically unattractive people are still very much unwelcome on a dance floor, and people will still make that clear to you.

This shit is tricky, which is why we need more experienced users in society who can guide newcomers through it.

All that plus a flush rear casing with no camera wart. Form factor perfection.

I'd be using one right now if anyone (including Apple) tested their goddamn UIs on that screen res anymore. It started getting really bad back in like 2018, and today even the 13 mini will awkwardly cut off views here and there. I imagine using the OG SE must be torturous.

When your CNS is at 0%, it's weirdly difficult to hold your spine and head straight against gravity. You start leaning on stuff, resting your head on your hand, etc.

Fair enough, as long as you leave the thinking and decision-making to people who have even a modicum of historical curiosity.
