I think they (CNN etc.) should call Biden as president elect by now. When this was the result for Trump he would have claimed victory and everyone would be like: „yeah, he‘s right at this point..“ So why don’t they call Biden? Are there really so many surprise ballots that have a great probability to heavily favour Trump? I do not see it. Every hour they do not call Biden right now is going to help further Trumps narrative.

Of course it does. Isn't this a political issue, carried out in a domestic context? Also depending on the effect of his decision, it could also be a societal one

I can understand your argument about social exclusion. You could allow it and observe if it does effect him in any negative way. Anyway, 8 is still really young. If he wants to do it so much, it could also be argued that he will do it anyway - be it when he is with his friends or in secret. So maybe the best path forward here would be an honest talk with him about your own concerns, while also listening to his side, where you could also assert your stance. I don't think a blank "ban" without reason and without his understanding of it is going to achieve much, if he is really determined to do it.

Here in Germany Fortnite is approved for ages 12 and above. So it is perfectly reasonable to not allow it. Your arguments sound also plausible. You are the parent and your son is still a minor. So you decide! If you think it's not okay, then you have the final say in this matter.

It especially contains information about the trajectory, votes remaining, recent average percentages and percentages needed for the respective contender to catch up. Judging these numbers and current trajectories, Trump may win Arizona (will probably be really close), Biden will probably win Georgia (only 463 votes difference to trump right now, 7,352 left to count with Biden averaging about 2/3 of them), Trump will probably win NC, Biden will probably win Nevada, Biden will probably win Pennsylvania (Biden catches up really fast and there are still over 275,000 votes to be counted). It all looks like it will be a win for Biden right now.

That's an absolutely awesome quote! How is that outreageuos?

Where do all these persons trying to promote their ideologies suddenly come from? Have they even seen Leos content. If they have, they must have completely misunderstood it. This forum should be about unravelling all ideology, not about spreading them.

To use this as an argument to believe in some arbitrary conspiracy theory is a huge misunderstanding. Everything is an ideology as long as its not based on direct experience.

All that website and video contains are totally unproven claims and ideas. It completely mixes observations with wild interpretations. I quote Wikipedia here: "An ideology (/ˌʌɪdɪˈɒlədʒi/) is a set of beliefs or philosophies attributed to a person or group of persons, especially as held for reasons that are not purely epistemic [...]" Believing what is said in that video is nothing but believing in an ideology.

Even if that statement was true, also being a so-called disbeliever is finite. I think it is indeed possible to experience a form of eternal hell. But even that is a finite experience.

The experience of being eternal will pass. And experience is all that ever will be experienced (obviously). All experience is finite. Even the experience of being infinite.

Every experience will be experienced. Also the experience of being eternal. But that, too, will pass. Love = Surrender. Suffering = Resistance.

As far as I know it can be neurotoxic if big doses with little time in between are consumed. IIRC there have been documented cases of declined ability to memorize stuff, and overall decline of cognitive abilities, after heavy abuse of DXM. And yeah, as KingCrimson said, it can also be pretty addictive (depending on your personality). So be cautious.

I really like the effects of DXM, and you can go pretty deep with it, but there's one problem with it imo: One of its effects is causing confusion. It is a very 'unclear' substance. I probably will experiment a bit more with it (albeit with long breaks in between - that's another thing: It really affects you up to 1-2 weeks, depending on dose, after the experience), because I find dissociatives fascinating and you can go to very unique places with them. But for doing the real work, it's gonna be the usual suspects: Psilocybin, LSD, DMT, 5-MeO and so on .. I wouldn't resort to doing mainly/only DXM, there are better, cleaner, tools for turning up that consciousness knob.

Actually you can visit something like this on the internet: https://libraryofbabel.info/ It contains every combination of 3200 characters, including every book that has and will ever have been written, every conversation in the past and future, including this very post I'm just writing: https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?linktoposition Have fun looking for something specific ,p

We are talking about truffels, though. 2 grams would be a good dosage for dried mushrooms. For truffels you would need more. Maybe this links helps (took me a quick google search): https://www.trufflemagic.com/tripping/dosage/ Be aware of your set & setting. Do it with a friend you can trust. But if such a person is currently not available to you you can also do it alone. Just be sure to be in a good mindset when you do it, have no work due the next day and no obligations on the day itself at all. Respect is a good thing, but you shouldn't be fearful. If you don't feel ready yet, you can still do it at some later point in your life. Don't feel rushed to do it. But if you feel ready and have the intention to take them, take the plunge and and take a solid amount to have a full experience and to avoid having a halfhearted one.

Eating plants could also be considered "eating another creature". I myself am vegan, but it may not fit everyone. Do what feels right for you. - vibv

That there will never be something outside (your) experience is something, which can be seen quite clearly, if examined. You don't have to take my word on it.

Your perspective is all you will ever know. There is literally nothing outside of (your) perspective. All that is ever experienced will always need an experiencer, who experiences it. Something, which is not experienced, does not exist, as far as your perspective is concerned. The statement, that there is a world outside of your perspective, that is really real, is only an assumption of yours.

Life as we know it absolutely is completely silly. Just play and have fun with it.
