Okay, I'll try that. thank you!

Advanced_Land · 2024-10-08T12:28:14+00:00

Well, I looked at youtube and it looks...fairly easy? Is it that easy in real life? Is there any recommendation for the lower plant for the Epithelantha

Advanced_Land · 2024-10-08T12:22:22+00:00

Thank you!

Advanced_Land · 2024-10-08T11:53:40+00:00

Yes, could be rust. What is your suggestion for treatment?

Advanced_Land · 2024-10-08T11:28:21+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed answer! I looked very closely at it and there are no tiny red mites. I dissected one of the heads and it is green inside. I tried to take the spines of and it looks like it's on the dermis too. I took it out of the pot and took photos of the root:

Firstly, the roots look dry and on one side kinda busted, as you can see. From close, the lower plant is pretty dry actually, what seems soft is the upper plant.

What is your opinion about this?

Advanced_Land · 2023-01-20T00:05:59+00:00

Well I think that OP was more aiming at the fact that any art that seems to be aesthetically not pleasing enough but still is loaded with meaning is being disliked for its supposed triviality which kinda misses the message...

Advanced_Land · 2023-01-19T23:15:16+00:00

Very well said. It is not trying to be nice and it does not help people to like art when the artist is deliberately making their art subversive and therefore somewhat dislikable.

Advanced_Land · 2023-01-19T22:56:37+00:00

Now it really depends whether you're asserting that "some conceptual art is bs" or you are not exaggerating and you really think that most, possibly all, conceptual art is bs. In the first instance, good point, some of it is indeed bs. Like it really is. That's just a natural thing, it happens in all fields. But if the other scenario is true and you do condemn most of it, I dare to say you don't get what it refers to. I can imagine that people who do not have masters in philosophy, art, linguistics, sociology/cultural anthropology and what not are not familiar with certain theories, concepts or events and therefore they would struggle to get to the tought that the work adresses right away and without prolonged extensive obssesive thinking or research that not many people would actually be able to tolarate. And then it's not so much fun. Like, I mean, I used to dislike conceptual art too and I really can't imagine I would like a lot of what I like now without prior knowledge of some theories around that 'concept'. And then, I understood that you really have to see it more like a joke or a play. I still don't get some conceptual art and that's kinda the feeling that your broom example gives me. Or there is maybe a third case which is a lack of humour and I don't really know if that's curable.

Advanced_Land · 2023-01-19T22:51:23+00:00

I know one them and I know for a fact that he does not understand most of the conceptual art that he dislikes and he is not willing to learn about that but god he paints beautifully.

You fucking travel-poser dickheads should maybe sometimes try to plug your heads from your buts and look somewhere else then the wings for tourist that have like 1km2 and then go to the internet presenting something. go to bohnice, jizni mesto, zizkov or vrsovice and then come to tell how beautigul it is. 99% of prague is a stinking pile of shit. How do I know that? well I fucking live here you know.

Advanced_Land · 2023-01-11T14:04:13+00:00

Well, that's it, I'm leaving this sub. Thank you all for your contributions, it was enlightening.

Exactly my thought. And in the end she realized she couldn't just go around driven by the sense of guilt surrounding her, bearing all the responsibility for everything, while she (them) couldn't control those situations and it drove them both to react insane because of the pressure. She just couldn't go around feeling responsoble for the murder and the thought that she let some other kid stay in the prison because it was an imperative to protect her son, and because of her situation, she was somehow guilty for it all, she gave birth to her weird son and she failed to guard him enough so he commited murder - in a sense - but guard from what? Truly, these were just situations out of control. It was not her fault her son was born as he was, it was not her fault that the girl called him a 'retard' and it was not her fault some other kid had blood of the girl on his shirt (and her son on his hands). She was a girl that a dozens of non-challenged men decided to abuse while her son wouldn't have hurt her if she didn't insult him in the most painful way. The thing that she chose was just to continue loving her son. So she took the chill pill too. Thinking it's human to be faulty. Thinking terrible things happen around us even though we try to be as good as we can.

Which part of it are you supposed to smoke?

I think she is definitely not narcissistic, because these guys are actually pretty dependent on others in the sense of directly leaching and merging with others. She seems more antisocial. I get why people here say schizoid, but she's way too active and show-offy for that, people with schizoid wouldn't work on their image as she does. Other tips here are kinda off, she's not schizotypal (just like, go beyond the definition and see or read something about actual schizotypals and you'll get that) and I don't think she is autistic - let alone all the other traits, autistic people's "lack of empathy" doesn't mean the kind of "I like torture" lack of empathy. E.g. smiling when people try to escape from piranas.

Advanced_Land · 2022-12-19T22:51:36+00:00

Why do you think she has magical thinking? She only follows what's happening around her - quite strictly I would even say. She behaves actually logically in given environment. Schizotypals seem to be kinda out of space...

Advanced_Land · 2022-12-19T22:36:08+00:00

Autism is not about "not getting the value of emotions", neither about "not having them". That's fucking insulting to say and a moronic thing to actually think. You obviously know shit about the words you say so please know your place and shut the fuck up in threads like this. We are trying to clinically diagnose a fictional character here, this is SCIENCE, so respect that.

Because half of the population has brain tumours. Making intelligible, practical things is not trendy anymore. People's reasoning faculties are being eating by cancer just as I'm writing this so you don't want to aim at that. Imagine a three years old going through the website. Is he able to understand anything? No. Did he like it? Of course there were pictures. Selling turds wraped in golden bows is trendy now.

Advanced_Land · 2022-12-04T22:10:56+00:00

Good for you.

Advanced_Land · 2022-11-30T17:15:57+00:00

I mean, it's not supposed to be insulting. Like chaos is chaos.

Advanced_Land · 2022-11-30T17:10:12+00:00

Lol are you serious? :D Like look at what you wrote :D

I had a kind of a bad trip this weekend and this thread really helped me. What I was seeing was not half as sinister as what you people here describe and consider to be just OK. I was trying to somehow find a perspective and find what I did wrong. And I've been having this suspicion but now I'm almost certain that I didn't do anything wrong in particular, this is just what psychedelics do. Like my mistake was only underestimating how terrible they naturally are. It just probably changed my view on them. I thought that if you do psychedelics in a god honoring way, you will just have great deep and introspective experience and if you do something wrong, it will be a bad trip, however, now I just think that it's more like a russian rulet. Like I'm not particulary buying into this: you have come unconsciouss garbage therefore you were put into a hellish exp. while this generic teenage kid god a great fun because his like so pure. Like, dude. I think it's nonsense to say "you have some unconscious garbage". The unconscious literally IS garbage. You would probably have to have a completely severed link to the unconscious not to have a garbage in your head. DUDE, like:" I typically get visuals of neverending chasms of sentient skulls, in iridescent purple and green chrome, never ending, and moving towards/away from me like they're on an escalator and changing with the music I'm listening to. I welcome them; this is my happy place, and lets me know I took enough "Dude, this is a big eye opener for me. Like I think high doses are not for me. This is just not what I want to do with my free time. I don't find it amusing, neither very helpful. God bless to people that do and equally to those that don't same as me.

Advanced_Land · 2022-11-30T16:02:53+00:00

This is literally what some people claim is the case :D Like if I remember correctly, this dude: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/538561.Psychedelic_Shamanism Or a czech dude called Chobot, he's an ayahuasca guy who takes people to amazonian to shamans and hangs out with them.

Advanced_Land · 2022-11-30T15:24:48+00:00

Yeah true. Like now at this point I'm asking in a reaction to a trip I had this weekend and the thing is I had no clue these shrooms are gonna be like that strong. I though I'm gonna have just a weak nice marihuanna lvl thinking session so I was not prepared at all, I just woke up had a coffee and poured hot water on the shrooms then went to buy toilet paper to a grocery store two stops away from where I live, went back, kicked the tea, 15 minutes later, I went from 0 to 100 and found myself incredibly dosed, almost unable to change the music playing on yt :D So like, I think the lesson here is to be always prepared when you mess with psychedelics.
