[scarywood75]

Hello,

Can any of you help me join the PTSD Discord/Telegram group please? I found a few infos here and there, but I'm not sure what's the vetting process, who I need to message and what are the prerequisites.

Thanks alot and merry Christmas y'all! 😊

Edit: I got the lead, thanks!

I saw that ZippityDooDah can send invites. I haven't dm'd him because he's been gone.

That's a good thing.

The prerequisites are a little ridiculous, you have to write a bunch and take some tests. Pretty gatekeepey and almost cultish.

And the #1 rule is not to talk about it….

he must be on another planet. or somewhere else without internet.

i;m thinking about diagnosing myself with PTSD too.

might as well.

I still haven't done the onboarding lol, I haven't found the motivation yet 🤣

I really like the community and all of the data. All that I can say is that the juice is worth the squeeze.

Thank for the info. I'm losing interest. I'm not willing to work hard to join.

 

[exploitedworkerbee]

I'm not willing to work hard to join.

that's precisely how the process is meant to work. crowdsourced testing requires participation and commitment to function, if it was super easy to join it'd be full of freeloaders. the ones that are easy to get into don't produce the volume of testing that the hard to get into one does, there's a reason for that.

Can't I just skip all the hard part and pay a monthly fee

Just send your vials to Jano if you want to buy your way out of the cooperation part of it

It's really not that hard if you have been in the gray market for a while. Pretty basic stuff. I did the entire process in just a few hours.

I'm mostly kidding. I haven't bought anything I needed independent testing for but like, I'd have thrown money at notable to help with all the tests he was doing for everyone's benefit.

...now I kind of want an invite. Sounds perfect to do while I should be working!

And yet here we are talking about out the thing that you take a test to join that says don’t talk about it

And yet here we are talking about out the thing that you take a test to join that says don’t talk about it

First rule of Fight Club is to break the first rule of Fight Club.

 

[exploitedworkerbee]

And yet here we are talking about out the thing that you take a test to join that says don’t talk about it

it doesn’t have such a rule. Another side effect of lazy disengaged people not wanting to put in any effort is you end up with a community that understands its value and acts with appropriate discretion. That’s probably why you don’t see people popping off about it all the time. I think stairway to gray has some group test thing, sounds like some of you are probably better suited to going that direction.

Can you break rules you haven't seen because no one is even supposed to know about it?

It most certainly does
Directly from my invite.


Just a reminder:
Rule 1: You do not talk about Fight Club. (This is the most well-known rule, emphasizing secrecy.)
Rule 2: YOU DO NOT talk about Fight Club! (Double emphasis on keeping it quiet.)
In other words: We don’t mention the subject of purchases to any processors of payments, to any shipping companies, to anyone at all PERIOD…, -

I checked with the PTDS guys, I’m not sure where the invite came from but that text seems to be a Peppy’s thing or something. Not a rule at PTDS, they didn’t write that. I’d nuked this thread for a few hours when I thought I was mistaken and wanting to honor that policy, but having touched base with them I’m un-nuking it. Feel free to talk about fight club all you want.

 

[GimmeABreak]

I haven't tested my own peps but I like participating in the tests beyond "is this vial of T30 from zzz good on mass/purity".

Test like cartridge / vial sterility, pep degradation tests, test on various peps stored in the freezer/fridge/closet, heat degradation testing, lab comparisons anything out of the ordinary and I'm in.

There is so much we don't know about the care, storage and handling of the peps we're using. These tests shed some light on it and eventually helps the entire community. Like the test for freeze/thaw cycles on reconstituted Tirz. Conventional wisdom has alway been "don't freeze reconstituted" the test results for Tirz completely debunked this.

I don’t think very many people can invite there. I can ask for clarification 🤷‍♂️

This is accurate and on purpose for all the reasons @exploitedworkerbee outlined in this thread. I'm pretty active on that server, and I know the folks with invite capabilities were selected because they are very engaged in the gray peptide space and it's testing, and have been for a while.
Call it gate keeping all you want, because it pretty much is. And that's the point.
See you there!
(You too, bee...)

For those watching...
Lurking is both educational and entertaining.

I've been burned in past other group buy and testing efforts. People may say, "Oh yeah, testing is good!" And may pay money for testing. But when it came time to actually give up a vial and get the thing done... it was a slow walking foot dragging no go. Then the drama. Smh.

Testing isn't hard and with the cost of grey vs. cost of brand, it isn't that expensive.

The purpose of testing is safety. What price are you willing to put on your life and ability to live it? These are chemicals you are injecting into your body. You could die from it. You could... you get it.

A group testing effort where people actually do what they say they will do sounds like heaven.

If it's a group that actually functions and does what it says It will, I'd really like to have an invite.
