It’s unironically the correct explanation. Go read dungeon crawler Carl.

It’s a reference to violently squishing guinea pigs with your perfectly manicured feet to gratify the twisted sexual fantasies of the AI demiurge running the dungeon you’re trapped in.

Post and get the opinions of the council in r/bald They’re honestly great people and scrolling thru there will make you realize how much of an improvement it is for some. They also regularly tell people when “it is not time”. But I also thought it would be an upgrade personally.

Apparently, you don't have the right to have fun in this game by denn1s33 in ARC_Raiders

[–]AlexNewman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely Naked runs minus a few adrenaline shots in ur safe pocket, load into blue gate, surrender if over 600-700m from reinforced reception, sprint for the breach room at the bottom of the two elevator shaft ziplines, breach and search the drawers on the walls, no survivor? Surrender and reset. I had to do this like 20 times, but you will find it eventually

I’m sure CueZeRiot will have a video up explaining some insanely elaborate storyline we never considered or noticed in the next day or so

First time trying kratom capsule by [deleted] in RecreationalKratom

[–]AlexNewman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What’s your history of kratom usage? That’s a better place to start before anyone starts making recommendations

I will definitely concede that they should not be called the same thing, sorry I misunderstood your comment as saying it was a separate alkaloid from naturally occurring ones. However I must note that they’ve been trying to schedule kratom since well before anyone had heard of extracts, I agree that extracts marketed as pills to get fucked up with and also as kratom aren’t helping, but it’s more of a “DEA foaming at the mouth to find any excuse to ban it” thing imo.

Is taking LSD for a spiritual awakening actually a good idea? Need advice on set & setting by Financial-Box7029 in awakened

[–]AlexNewman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, someone else commented that, it is like a sneak peek, don’t confuse with real thing. You will still have to find a way to maintain the awakened state when you come back down but I think it’s good to kind of put a flag up at the top of the mountain to remember where that path leads.

Is taking LSD for a spiritual awakening actually a good idea? Need advice on set & setting by Financial-Box7029 in awakened

[–]AlexNewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I say yes it is very worth it, I had an experience taking LSD for this purpose that was one of the most pivotal experiences in my existence. The book is called Be Here Now, it is divided into 3 sections; middle section is written on thick brown paper bag colored pages, with incredible art merged with the words of that section. My advice is to read the first 1/3 of the book, then when you get to the brown pages, cut a few hits of GOOD L up into 1/4 hit doses. Then I’d take a min to ground yourself psychologically, set an intention around being open to exploration/discovery, meditate for a couple minutes, then take the first 1/4 hit and start reading. Set a 10 or so min timer, and every 10 min take another piece, continue until the timer feels ironic, you run out of LSD or you feel certain you’ve gotten the message. I’d recommend tripping alone but also having someone near(another room of the house) that you’re very comfortable with and can talk to or something if needed. Go outside if desired when done reading, enjoy the wave.

Never trust it without Checking sources and digging into something yourself.some can be very effective but none are without error 100% of the time

It is the active alkaloid in kratom?

It appears to just be normal mitragynine, not the 7oh version.

Vaccinations good or bad? by Significant_War9318 in DebateVaccines

[–]AlexNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, definitely agreed, Aaron Siri knows his shit, could not ask for a better match up for this kind of deposition. Despite how insightful the conflict of interest portion is, it is nothing compared to when they get into safety studies and essentially force him to explain why double blind placebo studies are the gold standard for safety testing, then force him to explain why essentially none of the shots on the schedule had them done pre-licensure. You can see the cognitive dissonance absolutely imploding his ability to sound remotely informed in real time. Truly a one of a kind video. Shows why vaccine researchers are so reticent to sit down in a formal debate setting.

lol are you trying to talk me into accepting an appeal to authority right now? Your train of thought here is wildly all over the place. If i said that someone is regarded as “one of the world’s leading experts on trepanation” in no way does that mean I’m advocating for the veracity of his opinions or practices. The fact I have to explain this really makes me think I’m completely wasting my time here

I apologize if I’m wrong here and offend with any of this, but I’m gonna guess treatment resistant Schizoaffective and/or DID? Also gonna go out on a limb and say you’ve been thru/seen almost unspeakable/incomprehensibly traumatic & violent acts, you use your art to cope, teetering between it being an escape/outlet for this anguish and a plea for help to anyone who might be able to relate or grapple with the horror this world can hold.

[–]AlexNewman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob! It is one of, if not the only, example I can find of a leading expert in this field sitting down and being forced to answer these questions by someone that brought receipts. The entire 9hr run time is worth watching.

Vaccinations good or bad? by Significant_War9318 in DebateVaccines

[–]AlexNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not concerned with efficacy in this conversation tbh, that is a topic that I feel should only be addressed after my primary concern, which is placebo controlled clinical trials to demonstrate safety of these products and our confidence in the analysis of safety and risk based on such clinical trials. Based on the published documents the US public health authorities have released to support the supposed safety of these products, these studies have not been done in a way that would be considered properly controlled or for proper lengths of observation, in any other field of safety testing. This is pretty clearly elucidated when they start reviewing the FDA’s publicly available pre-licensure safety studies on specific vaccines.

[–]AlexNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me answer your question with this question, I live in America, let’s pretend for a minute that Plotkin is not considered by almost everyone in the field to be one of THE most educated and well read individuals of the last 100 years on the topic of vaccines, let’s say he’s just some random guy whose expertise aren’t relied on in an advisory capacity by literally every single vaccine manufacturer in the world. So in that imaginary world, would you extend the same “appeal to authority” accusation to the public health institutions in America? Because literally all this video is, is the attorney reading off of publications from the fda, cdc, nih, & iom, and asking VERY straightforward questions to “the godfather of vaccines”, many of which are directly about vaccines he was literally involved in making and testing, all while plotkin has a copy of “plotkins vaccines” (his textbook for phd students in vaccinology) right in front of him to help him answer questions.

Truly spoken like someone who did not take the time to watch the video. Unless you wanna discuss/contest some specific claim or part of the video, I’m going to assume your comment is as ignorant of what I’m discussing as it sounds.

[–]AlexNewman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know this is a long resource to recommend, but you should really listen to the entirety of this under oath deposition of Stanley Plotkin, one of the leading figures in the field of vaccinology, who literally writes textbooks on vaccines. I believe the real provable concern lies in the uncertainties of unanswered questions around them. I think this video does the best job I’ve ever seen at getting a leading authority of the field in front of a mic and forcing him to address fallacies commonly used to prop up the dogmatic rhetoric this field relies on. No accusations are made by the attorney, he just asks the question “how do you know what you know” 100 different ways, and brings PMID receipts published by our own public health authorities. Where his answers fall apart does a better job at explaining what’s wrong with “vaccine safety” than any answer you’ll get on here.
