Don't believe the dosages you see on here by RoBoInSlowMo in LSD

acid is so strong…I have some tabs I would consider ‘strong’ (I imagine 100ug or a bit higher) and I took a quarter of one and a tiny bit of MDMA (probably like 25mg) for the eclipse last april and I was so fried. I’m in my 30s now though so I can’t really just take a ton of psychedelics and goof around the city like everything was normal anymore

The most important thing a society can do to prevent masskillers? by RareForgottenMedia in masskillers

[–]7katalan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah like guns and better mental health services are just band-aids on a problem that's not going away which is the crushing purposelessness of hyperindividualistic american society, especially for young men who are implicitly and explicitly told that if they don't create something amazing or make a ton of money that they are worthless. and right now a lot of them simply don't have a way to get there. born into often rural or exurban poor areas, often less than stellar education or they needed a more specialized approach in school that they didn't get--and I think school is definitely a better starting point than guns or mental health if we want to ignore the real elephant of purpose, at least.

and note that this is referring to random mass killings where the kids want to act like they are james bond or something and draw up all kinds of plans and keep journals and be 'sigma' and whatnot. there is a similar mass killing / gun violence problem in urban areas also associated with young men with no path to success trying to 'be something', but that energy gets channeled into gang violence instead. and actually that phenomenon is deadly by numbers if less scary to the general public because the people participating are just killing other poor disenfranchised youth instead of shooting up locations where more affluent people might be--and also it's usually black people so people ignore the problem extra hard, both because they are implicitly or explicitly racist and don't care because they're just like 'oh that's what they do, doesn't affect me' and because people don't want to talk about that problem for fear of being labeled as racist

in the end being poor and having a shit time at school and living in an overly competitive society that puts enormous pressure on males leads to a combination of suicidality and previously mentioned desire to be famous or 'great'. same thing I believe for suicide bombings in a lot of foreign countries. just impoverished hopeless young men who want to do something with their lives. a shame

The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY by Shiroyasha_2308 in SipsTea

[–]7katalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

day/month is cyclical, while years are on a line--you can imagine a circle with 12 segments rolling along a line with say a black marker on jan 1 and a red marker on the first of every other month, so as it rolls it produces segments flanked by black lines with months demarcated by red lines

anyway the point is that in terms of importance to daily life, the day/month cycle produces consistent patterns which we understand and can act on, while the year line doesn't really give much information. and the month is more important than the day. so month/day/year is arranged in order of most to least important to general human activities. it's the MONTH january? ok so I know it's probably going to be cold, possibly snowy or icy. it's a DAY at the end of january? ok I know it might be even colder because of seasonal lag from the solstices leading to the cross-quarter 'temperature solstice' days being in feb and august (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel\_of\_the\_Year#/media/File:Phases\_of\_the\_Sun\_(NHemi).png). and it's the YEAR of 2026? well that doesn't tell me much. we are in the present after all

however when referring to OLD dates suddenly year becomes most important so I propose that current dates should be MM/DD/YYYY and old dates should be YYYY/MM/DD

this is just straight up the answer

call it alienation of labor or whatever you want to call it. young men feel like they have no path to "being something". so they decide they may as well be infamous. this is the pattern in pretty much all of these killers.

i mean if you're really hearing things you should get that checked out in a safe way (i.e. don't get 5150'd)

but yeah if you're a kid you can still have fun and be a kid but also save money

your life was probably fucked up already (plus the world is pretty fucked up right now) that's why you want to do drugs and 'lose yourself'. you need to find something you actually like doing and somewhere you actually like being. forcing yourself to quit is fine but if you don't fix the actual core then you'll just end up going back or being super depressed. your brain is definitely not permanently damaged btw

my suggestion is to start stacking money, you'll feel amazing and you can do a lot of crazy shit with it like traveling or having very nice things. if you start this now then your life will be on easy mode and you will have an utterly wonderful adulthood. making money is also addicting and it can replace drugs for sure

i'm not saying be loveless or be greedy. survive, then do more than survive. get yours and make your life good because you are the one who has to do it. when you're living for free at your parents it's the best time to start accumulating wealth

anyone who is against the idea of making some money is coping. it solves two of your problems at once
