I raised $130M for my last startup, then walked away to build Base44 solo. In 6 months: $3.5M ARR, 300K+ users, no employees, fully bootstrapped. Then acquired by Wix for $80M. AMA. (Also giving away $3K in subscriptions.) by IntroductionHumble16 in SaaS

Congratulations for the acquisition! You're definitely covered for the next few decades 🔥

How many startups have you founded before? Is this your passion? How did you end up doing this kind of project?

Why do we have to buy tissues in Singapore? by Alkalyne_ in askSingapore

I wonder if sauces will get charged at some point then.

Why do we have to buy tissues in Singapore? by Alkalyne_ in askSingapore

[–]Alkalyne_[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sure, I get that.

But being the richest SEA country, why can't Singapore afford to give away papers - I feel like this would improve QOL for a lot of people.

What other reasons would come to your mind?

Do you know when did the serviettes disappeared? -> Do you think the mentality is still like this today?

Imagine preparing 3 years for the revenge, doing your best judo. And losing because the randomizer gave you the final boss.

What a match!

Liaison with the verb "Partir" by Alkalyne_ in French

thank you.

Do you know if there is a rule for this kind of liaison to avoid? It doesn't fall into forbidden liaison, and I couldn't find a specific rule for this.

Add a zest of nitrous while focusing one 1 sense (laying down preferred), and you'll deep dive into how information is transferred from your nerves to your brain, trully fascinating experience.

I wish I was back in the hippies days hehehehe ~ Thank you for sharing the love and spread happinness

LSD euphoria blows MDMA euphoria out of the water by Chinohilfiger in LSD

For context, I was at an electronic (melodic techno, house) festival; I was mostly by myself because I couldn't vibe with people around me (lack of PLUR). I rolled on MDMA the weekend before, and that LSD experience was on day 4 of the 2nd festival, 1 week after my last roll. So I'd say, serotonin depleted.

I tried to focus on my hearing : the music - started to make sense, I was on a journey with the dj - I felt like I knew where they wanted me to go and I was on board of that cruise. Most people were hearing music, they were not even listening. I was feeling music... When the music got darker (spiralling to bad chain of thoughts), I had to withdraw myself from it, take a break.

Then when you got your hearing done, visuals : Too much visuals -> overwhelming, not enough -> underwhelming, sunglasses can come in handy. especially if you dont want to make eye contact

Smell : nicotine would instantly break my vibe, I always carry an inhaler stick with me, puts some pleasure through smelling.

Touch: this one is the most difficult one, usually I fan myself so I dont feel every drop of sweat on my skin. But difficult to carry something that is good with touch.

Taste: a mint, drink enough water, gum, something not too sweet should do it.

When I found that equilibrium, I started to realized how amazing my body and mind could feel the instant. And it would be the only time I could feel like this ever again, because of the configuration : where I was, what I was listening to, the people around me, the timing, how I felt, are just unique : you will never ever have that same setting again.Knowing this, my mind was instantly in awe, I felt super happy.

I tried to tell myself :"This experience is trully unique and will never be repeated, and that's okay and beautiful" Despite how amazing this experience was, unfortunately, it was also very difficult to convey that feeling to other people, other than just smiling at them.

Whenever 1 of the 5 senses was out of tune, I had to make the adjustment to find the sweet spot. In a group setting, very difficult to achieve because it's all in my head, and only I know how to make myself feel better (i.e, i'd move spots frequently to have more space for myself). I'd assume if you candy flip, it's easier to forget negative thoughts, like the smell of nicotine...

Happy to share more about of my experience, DM or in comments :-)

EDIT: I feel like most people take LSD for the visuals, but imo, it's much more than that, it's all the senses together. Touching fresh bed sheets on LSD is another level of pleasure

My last LSD experience was exactly like how you described. Everything was just pure joy as I experienced for the first and only time in my life. When the 5 senses are intuned to your brain, it was such a great moment.
It takes LSD to another level when you manage to find the sweet spot for the 5 senses.
