I really like this phrasing, nicely said

It's a nightmare to reliably setup any kind of games on Linux. It requires sooooo much micromanagement to keep all of your games working, especially newer titles or games that update frequently. I agree with everything in regards to Windows, when I played a lot of games I dual-booted Windows and Linux. Linux for work/programming and Windows for games. That worked quite nicely. But the Linux distro was just totally borked after 6 months. MacOS is honestly pretty customizable if you really want it to be. But for the most part it doesn't really need any customisation and that's what I like. I used to enjoy tinkering with my tech but now I just want it to not fucking break or require me to pay too much attention to maintaining it. MacOS is pretty good for that The only thing I really despised was the lack of great support for non-Apple peripherals, but I installed one bit of software that fixed it all.

Blackpill is hard to dig people out of They tend to congregate in echo chambers and etch each other’s beliefs into solid concrete The only way they’ll ever change their mind is through new experiences, but their beliefs already convince them there is no hope by definition So in their mind it’s not even worth trying. And if they do try, they’ll just reinforce their own negative beliefs further Blackpill/inceldom is pretty much just the high school dynamic extrapolated into the real world Most of these dudes’ primary social experiences all come from high school, so they model their social experiences in the real world around these high school dynamics, with stories about Chad and Stacy and so on It’s all just high school social dynamics really They need experiences that show them that the real world is not like high school

That's a very intense experience for 130µg from what I've read and experienced. I think you might be particularly sensitive to psychedelics. Maybe start with like 40µg and see how that goes, if you ever decide to take them again. However, it is a very common thing for people who take psychedelics in high doses to experience. It might just scare you because you read what 130µg is supposed to do, but then you get your mind blown apart because you experiencing what less sensitive people would need to take twice that dosage for.

@Blackhawk Out of curiosity, why did you feel like you had to call the police/ambulance? Do you remember the feeling that actually made you do that?

Find another girl, there are plenty of them out there

Never taken cubes before but assuming they're similar to tabs, should be fine. Someone recommended Tycho to me for my last trip and it was pretty good. Honestly, just listen to the music you normally like, acid makes it way better Wish you the best

Linux is great, but it requires so much tinkering and it often just breaks for no discernable reason 6 months after you set it up. I was fine with that when I was younger and had lots of spare time to tinker but I ain't got time for that shit now. Windows is alright. It works, for the most part. And it's the only platform with hassle free gaming if you're into that. MacOS is, in my opinion, the best balance of both. It has the stability of Windows but it's UNIX based so you still get all the cool functionality of a Linux setup. It also doesn't spy on you nearly as much as Windows. The only disadvantage is of course that to use it you gotta buy an expensive machine to use it.

So I took a tab I got from a friend recently, he never told me the dosage but based on effects I’d put it somewhere around 80-120ug Was a good first trip but not enough to blow me away. I’ve now got some tabs (from a certain dark place) rated at 250ug. How likely is that to be an accurate dosage? My gut says just take 1, but I want a stronger trip this time. Maybe I should take 1.25 to be sure? I’ve seen lots of people on various places on Reddit say that any tab with a dosage that high is BS, but somehow I feel like a tab from that particular type of source should be more reliably dosed Any comments? Thanks

This sounds like my experience exactly. I tripped on LSD last Sunday as well, so perhaps I also still had some tolerance built up. Thanks for all the info, super helpful! Next Friday I'm going to take a tab and a half of this stronger stuff and see how that goes.

So I took the full tab, it ended up being very similar to the previous tab I took that I rated about 100µg in terms of open eye visuals, although I didn't know the dosage for sure The mindspace was definitely substantially more intense, though still not as intense as I hear other people describe 250µg. I honestly have no idea if it really was 250µg at this point. I suspect not from reading what other people have experienced on that dosage, which is kind of a bummer. Because I read tabs sourced from a certain dark place are usually pretty accurately dosed

I tested with the Erlich reagent, which doesn't tell you potency but it tells you that there's at least LSD in the tab. I'd like to get some potency tests as well to be absolutely sure in the future. I don't know much about the different types of LSD, I'm assuming my tabs will just be the standard type? Might be interested in trying derivatives at some point so cheers for all the advice/resources.

I mean, it's pretty much easier... There are sites where you can go and buy them from what I've heard. I've seen them advertised for my city. You are technically paying for 'time with the girl' but it's very obvious what happens during that time. Maybe it isn't so simple where you live but I've got to imagine that's common.

Less thinking about women, more talking to women

The self-help industry is rife with this, more than any other industry. Almost any self-help course or book you look at online will use grifty techniques for marketing. Leo is one of the few who I would say has taken a really un-grifty approach and I have tons of respect for him for that. It's probably the only reason I'd actually feel confident buying his LP course at some point. But the problem is that most people respond well to the grifty shit, so if you wanna maximise money earned it's just what you do, even if you have a valuable product. I bet you Leo has lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars because he avoids things like over-promising, teasing, clickbait, constantly reminding you of his courses/products, and other forms of heavy marketing. Without going into too much detail for obvious reasons, I also work for an online marketing company and we see a lot of people who mean well but market like absolute psychopaths because it's what works. They forget that they are marketing to people and they become robots who just do whatever maximises their KPIs

Half would be pretty much exactly the same dosage as I've already taken twice. I have a tab with just under a quarter cut off for testing, so I reckon I'll go with that. That should be around 150-180ug, which I think should be fine.

Really well said

So definitely a yes for festivals then? I've never actually been to one, but I'm planning on it at some point soon.

This was my gut instinct too. It seems weird that they would misadvertise when they would likely get bad reviews for it, lol I'm gonna stick with one tab then. Is a 250ug trip a good idea for my third trip? First two were on 100ug or so.

The problem is that the people who provide value often use the same grifty marketing tactics as the grifters, so it’s hard to distinguish between valuable info and useless crap online sometimes

Thank fuck

Definitely planning on trying out MDMA, I’ve heard it’s good for partying Though, also heard that it can seriously fuck up your brain chemistry if you take it too frequently Right now I’m just experimenting with what I’ve got, which is LSD. Can’t hurt to try sensibly

I only took a very small dose, probably 10µg, felt just like I'd had a few coffees really. Now that I feel confident in it, I'm going to try taking a little more and see what happens, I'll let you know lol Yea, this sounds about right. It isn't something I want to make a habit of, just something I wanna experience a few times.

Is that just a form of pure mescaline that you can buy like any other chemical? Would def try if possible. The actual mescaline trip was noticeably different than an acid trip, it felt more electric for lack of a better term. I'd like to explore that more without the hassle This is exactly the tek I followed too, as far as cactus goes I'd recommend it. It's probably the most efficient/effective/bearable way to take the cactus, but it still takes more than half a day.

When I took it, I did exactly this, though I also boiled it down for 6 hours into a tea. So it was about 300ml of cactus tea that tasted like 300ml of tea that had been sitting out in the desert for 300 years. I can still make myself gag thinking about the taste of that juice to this day, and I don't think I could drink it again with a gun to my head. God knows what the unboiled-down cactus smoothie tastes like. Yup. It was awful. It really involves so much effort and pain for so little gain. Practically the only upside is that you can often source a cactus more easily than other substances. But now that I've got a comparison point: tabs of acid, I don't see why you'd ever go to the effort of taking cactus. 1 hour of chopping and blending, 6-8 hrs of boiling and stirring, 1 hour of straining, 30 mins to force the remaining liquid down your throat, 2 hours of nausea, then maybe 4 hours of a medium level trip. Versus popping a bit of paper in your mouth for 20 minutes.
