Make up your mind, my man. From a human's POV, reality is very mechanical and predictable. The mysticism of reality is deeper and more subtle than an intelligent God manipulating evolution, which is what it seems like you are suggesting is the case here. The mysticism/God in reality is more about why you are even aware asking these questions right now. But within that awareness and POV, there are logic and rules that must be followed and life is a byproduct of these rules.

What is so ridiculous/repugnant/abhorrent/disturbing about women being attracted to status? Why is it worse to be attracted to someone's status than their looks? If anything, being attracted to status is less abhorrent and repugnant than being attracted to someone purely based on how they look.

Never is a strong word

Just look at how humans have selectively bred apex predator wolves into chihuahuas, pugs and sausage dogs over only 30,000 years. If you can go from wolf to sausage dog in 30,000 years you can go from giraffe with short neck to giraffe with long neck in 50 million years. You are underestimating just how much time a billion years is. A turtle doesn't just spontaneously generate a shell. It happens very gradually. Maybe you had a population of something that looked like a lizard, then the members of the population with the hardest skin survive more. Once you have a population with hard skin, eventually one of them has a mutation that very slightly infuses the bone and the hardened skin, giving it even greater defense. And then over time the members with greater degrees of this bone/skin infusion survive longer, and eventually you have a shell. The reason I think these things seem unrealistic to you is that it's so difficult to process these timescales. It's also difficult to process just how much life there is on earth at any given time, all of which is evolving and mutating. In a relative sense, from your POV, the universe is very very mechanical and operates pretty much like clockwork. From an absolute perspective reality is mystical and intelligently designed. It is possible for both of these things to be true at the same time. God could conceive of a reality that is mechanical like clockwork

I'm not planning on taking enough to create anxiety, just a little to create a perspective shift. I'm going out tonight, I reckon I'm gonna take a really small dose of a 10th of a 80-100µg tab just to see what it's like, wish me luck Sounds like it could definitely be fun, might experiment with higher dosages in the future

I think unfortunately with this kind of thing, you're absolutely a niche customer, and thus you're always gonna be paying niche product prices

It's more something I'm curious to try a few times rather than something I want to depend on. I'm thinking it could be fun if the dosage was right

My main goal is to become less socially anxious. And also just to have fun and have crazy experiences, both sexual and not. I want stories to tell. I've never really been out partying before I started, but now I realise how much fun it can be.

And also usually a lot of oil/salt/sugar too. When I made my own pizza dough I was putting in two tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of sugar and salt, I imagine the average pizza from a takeaway or whereever will be much worse.

I'm saying that pizza dough made with tons of sugar and unhealthy oil, highly processed tomato sauce filled with sugar and oils, and low quality cheese are unhealthy, because that is what most pizza contains. I'm also saying that eating your entire daily calorie allowance in one meal is unhealthy, which again, covers most pizza.

Or you could just eat the nutritious stuff on its own and skip the pizza part of the meal. Look, I eat my fair share of pizza. It’s a tasty as fuck. But don’t try to delude yourself that consuming huge amounts of stodgy, sugary, greasy carbs is good for you, no matter what you add on top At best it’s ‘not that harmful’ but at worst it will make you very overweight, give you heart problems, or any other variety of problems that come from eating absurdly calorie dense fatty/carby/greasy/dairy/salty foods

Well, depends where you get it from I suppose. I'm sure authentic Italian pizza is probably healthier for you than American adaptations, but most people think of the American adaptation when talking about pizza. The American pizza style (what I tend to bake myself) definitely contains lots of sugar. In order to get the yeast in the dough to rise you need to supply it with sugar. And the sauce in many cases has sugar for taste as well, just like ketchup. Not really. It's certainly not very nutritious for the amount of calories it contains. What nutrients does a pizza contain? A little bit of protein in the cheese, tiny bit of protein in the dough, maybe a few vitamins in the tomato sauce, then the rest is basically carbs/fats. You can add extra nutrition with some toppings I suppose but it's not really substantial. I mean yes, but getting your entire daily allowance of calories from a single, averagely nutritious (at best) meal, is not so great.

The sauce and base often contain a lot of sugar, salt and oil. It's also extremely calorie dense, a large dominoes pizza for example has something like 2 or 3 thousand calories depending on your country. Dairy is also something that affects a fair number of people adversely. I don't think that it's necessarily bad for you if you're not already overweight, it's just that it contains a fuck ton of calories that don't really offer you that much nutrition. Which is a shame cos it tastes really fucking good, lol

Typically it isn’t worth the effort for them to follow up on the destination of the package, unless you’re ordering dealer quantities Its also I would imagine very rare that your package will get intercepted if it’s not passing through any international borders If they do contact you, you deny placing the order or knowing anything about it I won’t give much more instruction, all I’ll do is say make sure you do a lot of research and follow all of the best practice security guides for the process no matter how inconvenient they are to you

Don’t get too attached to one girl before anything happens between you and her Certainly don’t go on holiday just for a girl you spoke to for 15 minutes Keep talking to new girls back home and if you happen to be going back there at any time then pursue it further

How does it feel to go out to places where you’re essentially competing with celebrities? I’m assuming you must see a decent number of high profile dudes out and about in vegas then I can’t really think of a single time I’ve seen someone particularly well known or famous in a club where I stay, though I do notice a bit of insecurity when I see guys who are particularly good looking which is why I’m curious

I've seen Leo recommend a DMT vape pen instead of alcohol if you're going out to busy clubs. Microdosing other psychedelics would probably be pretty similar. Although I suppose DMT is quite short lived, whereas if you accidentally miscalculate your microdose for traditional pyschedelics things could go south pretty bad cos it'll last a long time.

I have not experienced anything like this. Maybe stop using Facebook. It is filled with crazy boomers who have nothing better to do than create drama.

Sorry man but this is super cringy, I don't think you should say this to her. If you're gonna try and escalate (which I don't recommend you do at this point) you're gonna need to be funny and playful about it, not super serious like that

It’s probably going to be a nightmare. You’ll be at odds all the time and simple things like your views on sex are going to clash horrifically Just go after girls that are at the same level of development as you. If you want some casual dating stage blue is not where you wanna be looking

Stop using online dating. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. Start going to busy sociable places where talking to girls is very acceptable. I gather India isn’t so great for that but there must be liberal places like bars, clubs etc. SOMEWHERE in the bigger cities Go to these places and talk to a bunch of girls

I've obtained some LSD from a new group of friends I made over the weekend. Also ordered a test kit, my plan is to take it this Thursday after the kit arrives and I can confirm it's LSD. This is my first time tripping on acid, but I've taken mescaline (from cacti) before and some other random substances like LSA from seeds and strong weed edibles, so I'm not totally inexperienced. But I would say this is probably my first proper trip on a traditional psychedelic. I've got two tabs, I'm planning on taking one, since I don't know the dosage. But I'm basically looking for any recommendations on things to try or avoid during what I'd consider my first proper trip I've read basic safety guides, but obviously the advice here is more tailored towards spirituality so I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for inducing spiritual experiences while taking psychedelics. But I'd also just like any general suggestions or recommendations for fun things to try when tripping. Thanks in advance

The cheap solution to getting over this is to go to the busiest places. Like the places where you can’t even move from people. This seems counter-intuitive, but in a huge crowd you blend in, no one can tell you are alone so your mind lets you relax. And the chances of you meeting people is much higher. The root solution is what @flowboy recommended, however.

So I'm at the 8-9hr mark now. Was def a good first trip I reckon from reading other people's reports was prob about 80-100µg tab, so ideal first time trip dosage. I also now really wanna take a higher dosage and get properly blown away instead of just enjoying a cool headspace and some neat visuals. I think the thing I enjoyed the most was just closing my eyes and letting my mind morph and melt through tons of different random shapes, visuals and stories in my mind. It really is beautiful I tried going for a walk at one point but that was a mistake. I live in a town centre with lots of people around and the paranoia was intense and unpleasant quite quickly, so I just went home.

This feels like an exaggeration. I'm 1999, so technically a Zoomer (although I'd probably relate more to millennials) and I haven't really experienced anything like that. I'm regularly interacting with people in the 18-20 range as well and again, never really heard any stories of something like this. Plenty of dudes actually just being creepy though. I think what has happened is that zoomers have absolutely fucked social skills, especially the boys, so they are actually just being more creepy on the whole. I don't think it's that we are necessarily more sensitive to creepy behaviour now than before. Maybe a little bit. I hear a lot of people talk about the end of dating because of cancel-culture etc. but if you actually go out and about all the socially well-adjusted people are not having an issue, really. Perhaps it's different in the era of younger zoomers, that I don't know. It will be interesting to see how things go.
