You can’t supplement it with your urine, because your urine will be containing the salts you’re trying to get rid of.
If you had an ample supply of urine from someone who was extremely well hydrated, maybe.
But yeah no you shouldn’t be drinking seawater at all, it’s just too salty. You’re expending more water of get rid of the salt. Coffee or tea would be fine despite slight diuretic effects, but ocean water is just too salty.
Oh right yeah it being photoshop makes more sense.
A bit of liquify on the corners of the mouth and add a set of nice white teeth. I was a bit unsure at first but I have the extended edition on my hd as I was gonna watch the trilogy for the first time in years. So I quickly just browsed through that scene. And imo the only framing that fits is that “I have no memory of this place” as when Gandalf just sits there pondering he doesn’t have his hat on, and then when he realises the smell and gets a bit happier, there’s no further closeup.
So a very understandable mistake to make and I could’ve bought it had I not had reference so easily available.
Edit Cover his mouth with something and you’ll see how “odd” the eyes are, that was the giveaway to me. It doesn’t feel like he’s smiling if you do that. And Sir Ian os definitely able to smile with his eyes on command, that I know for sure.
and it is a legit screencap.
Bullshit it is. It’s based on a real screencap, but those are not the teeth of the great Sir Ian Mckellen. And if he was actually smiling, he would be smiling warmly, none of this weird AI forgot to fo the eyes when prompted to make an image smile.
edit for reference 
edit 2 furthe reference as this is clearly the scene where it’s supposedly from 
The ability to physically harm someone is only relevant if a) one chooses to believe someone will harm or then, or might or b) someone expresses that they will harm the other person, or might.
That is to say, “a person you don’t trust”. Implicitly you trust everyone in your society, more or less. Or in your “city”, if you will.
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Even if a power dynamic is completely equal, it still exists. It’s just balanced.
The ability to commit violence is at the very core of our civilization. Literally. There’s a reason we still call them POLICE officers. They’re the only people “in the city” (“polis” as in Akropolis, Annapolis, Marioupolis, etc) allowed to physically harm other people, and that is what makes them literally powerful.
Your reasoning only applies when you’re already in the context of “we’re not allowed to do violence or each other or the police will come and threaten me with violence unless I obey them”.
I mean, insofar that violence is power, yes, the person with someone’s engorged penis filled with blood (the thing people need to live) between the sharpest and hardest parts of their body (teeth) armed with the strongest muscle (the masseter, the jaw muscle), does in fact have power over the other person owning the penis.
Power over life and death is very much “power” in my book, even if I don’t agree with it.
I do agree that they must have trust, otherwise it wouldn’t be smart to give that much power over you to someone else.
And when it comes to regular power dynamics, yeah sure it’s annoying they exist in the first place, but you can’t really deny them, even if they aren’t always one and the same. Not all men would be able to beat up all women, but in general, men have an advantage in physical combat. But that advantage is very much given away at least a bit when you put your dick in someone’s mouth.
Then again it could be a trans woman who owns the penis and a man doing the sucking, so like assumptions, power dynamics definitely aren’t always the same.
So while I agree with you that they shouldn’t be intrinsic, to most people they are.
My sensibilities are more in line with Deadpool.
I mean, same here, in a way. Rural Finnish town in the 90’s.
When my big brother first showed me the internet (once in the library as he had reserved an hour for himself) I actually thought it would be like a game or something, and was rather disappointed to see boring HTML sites. Why? Because everyone kept talking about “surfing the net”. “Browsing the world wide web” has much more boring connotations, I felt like. (Although back then I didn’t speak English so would not have known the phrase, but the equivalent term to “browsing.”)
Until my brother showed me how to find guides and cheats for games! GameFAQs.
Nah I just never watched it myself, and my vision has gotten so shit I read “Ricky” as “Rick”.
My bad.
I think this becomes even weirder if you consider a blowjob. The person with the dick in their mouth actually has all the power.
Also I’d like to point out that currently what is considered perhaps the best countries in the world, at least for the average citizen, the Nordics, probably wouldn’t be here, especially not in this form, had the Soviets actually managed to come through Karelia.
Which my great-grandpa and uncle & other assorted family gave their lives to prevent. And we were technically fighting the Allies, mind you. (Finland wasn’t allied with Axis at any point though, officially. We “merely” cooperated a little, before having to fight the Nazis out of Lappland.)
Check on having heard those rumours ~25 years ago.
2000s were the peak crossroads of old and modern life and its fun to look back
FYI in ten years kids will be saying the exact same thing about the 2010’s, just like they did 10 years ago with the 90’s and for my gen it was the 80’s-70’s.
Complaining about complainers is my favourite thing on the internet
Also avoids drinking. Maybe he just can’t control teh gay if he takes a few.
Seconded.
Should prolly try shamans piss version of amanitas. You know where a proper geezer who’s been eating these for decades dries them properly, then eats a whole bunch, then pisses in a dish and then you drink the piss.
That would probably get closer to the roots of what amanitas are about. I had a similar very mild but in no way negatively experience as you.
Laid on a sofa and it felt slightly like as if on a magic carpet through space. But like, that needed imagination, I wasn’t experiencing that, but if I had to describe what sort the mild feeling was.
Technically it’s completely edible, insofar that it’ll only give you nausea / stomach cramps and a wicked high. Whereas white amanitas are lethal.
The “properly cooked” here refers to well dried and sort of cured material, which has more uh, I want to say “muscimol in relation to ibotenic acid”, iirc. Your liver will also convert the ibotenic acid into muscimol, but that’s where the nausea would come from, as your liver works hard and there’s metabolic byproduct or some such.
But when you properly dry the shrooms, a lot of that ibotenic acid gets tuned into muscimol, which doesn’t usually cause nausea that much.
To me all these people sound exactly like the douchey “I-I can’t never eevher geth theh slightestht bhith dhrunk” guys.
Tldr just because you’re not perceptive about your own perception doesn’t mean it hasn’t been altered.
I mean, you’re right, sure, but it’s easier biting an outie than an innie.
Getting your chompers around someone’s chocolate starfish would be a challenge, don’t you think?
