sorry, after re-reading the op I can see I misinterpreted your comment to mean SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and psilocybin had a similar effect on the brain. we don't disagree.

no. drugs that act on GABAA, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine receptors individually don't seem to affect the whole of the brain the way psychedelics do,[0] which we didn't really know about until 2016. from the available l

IANAL, but I'm guessing the DMCA takedown request cites "circumvention of access control."[1] Would be useful if the maintainer published the request. 1. http://blockadblock.com/adblocking/is-adblock-plus

some BTC and ETH, but also consider adding monero (XMR) to the mix. it's a wildcard, but it's fungible. XMR is also trending in illicit use (laundering and trafficking), which will probably help its price in the short-to-mid term.

I agree with the comment sibling recommending the docs -- they are good. maybe try building something with nuxt[1] first. nuxt a framework/static site generator build on top of vue (inspired by next.js for react). its conventions are e

the linked audit does reveal a DoS vuln that was patched, but I wouldn't discredit the project based on something so small. audits are a good thing for a project.

passwords are bad, but I like that someone needs to beat a password out of me and can't just scan or rip out my implant. neither scenario is part of my threat model, so I get that my objection isn't practical/rational. but I&
