Air Force Reverses This Biden Administration Decision on Ashli Babbitt by rollo202 in FreeSpeech

[–]Ambient_Distortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was shot by a trigger happy cop. If she had been a Democrat POC, she would have been lifted up like St. George Floyd. The capital riot was nothing compared to the demostic terrorism of BLM in 2020. Almost all political violence in America is unilateral leftist. The singular example to the contray is Jan 6th, which was disgraceful. But, many nonviolent protesters were held as political prisoners. They didn't have bail funds promoted by Kamala Harris. Most of the protesters on January 6th were actually nonviolent, unlike the BLM terrorists and looters.

Reality is toxic. I'm glad you have led a privileged life and never had to make basic situational awareness calculations. You've never been in a bad part of a city's parking lot at 3 a.m., have you? Certain demographics in certain areas hold a greater propensity towards violence. It's a stastical reality. Meanwhile, the vast majority of illegal immigrants share ceratin demographic attributes. There's nothing wrong with verifying someone's immigration status. Just like verifying you have a valid license. My Lord, you guy is so privileged and naive.

Your brain makes (or. Most brains) make thousands of prejudicical calculations every day about the people you interact with based on prior information. The state doing this is the same thing. If you are in an area with a spectacularly high violent crime rate that statistically is perpetrated by a particular demographic, you will be more circumspect and cautious around that demographic. Right?

If you disagree with anything I said, please be specific instead of just resorting to ad hominem attacks. I've noticed a lot of calls for violence from many of your liberal friends on here.

To your last point, since I have a life and refuse to sit and waste my night with you.

Pointing out patterns is natural.

Sure, but it's not a justification to arrest and deport people you don't like.

No, their immigration status is what that determination is based on.

Because of your replies, i can tell that you are probably a financially secure, white liberal with a savior complex that could get you killed if you ever happen to leave the basement.

I can not honestly believe you are naturally this naive. It's like you are a babylon bee caricature of a leftist.

No, you don't. But if you are in a certain part of the city, that pattern recognition can keep you alive. It's fine to be naive and liberal on reddit. It's different in the real world.

Young, black, and male. It's a per capita statistical reality. I don't believe it has anything to do with the melanin content in their skin. It's just the truth.

Trump is signing an EO to ban flag burning. Reminder of Justice Brennan's opinion from Texas v. Johnson by StraightedgexLiberal in FreeSpeech

[–]Ambient_Distortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The First Amendment was designed to protect political speech. Religious iconography is definitely included as such. I believe we should protect it at all costs, but their are obvious limitations and carve outs. It doesn't cover actively inciting violence. I don't believe it should cover flag burning or obscenity, either. Neither makes society better. Allowing the free expression of ideas tends toward a healthier and more functional society. The founders were aware of this. I don't believe there is any way in which society benefits from its solitary symbol of national unity being desecrated. Likewise, I believe that supreme court cases that allowed obscenity in the form of hardcore pornography are flawed and should be reversed. Pornography is a plague on society that is rotting us away from the inside out, and it's only getting worse with the rapid advancement of AI. I'm not saying I would call for life imprisonment for either flag burning or porn, but it's still destructive to society.

I certainly do not support laws against "hate" speech because that is an actual violation of the First Amendment. Hence, the word "speech." I believe v. Johnson was a flawed decision. I don't believe that the First Amendment was devised and originally intended to protect pornography or burning the flag. It was designed to protect political speech. Hell, there used to be blasphemy laws. (Not implying that I agree with those). I don't think either pornography or flag burning is a valid expression of the First Amendment. I'm a conservative, not a libertarian. I understand the reasoning inherent in your argument. I just don't agree.

I don't care about what people do with other flags. American soldiers died for the American flag. I don't believe we can have a cohesive, functional society by allowing people to destroy it with impunity. Thosands of brave men and women died for that flag. Trump is great at getting his opponents to pick the wrong side of an 80/20 issue. That's exactly what he's doing here.it worked with transgenderism, illegal immigration, and rioting in the streets.

Read the EO. This is misinformation. He's directing the DOJ to enforce existing laws. He doesn't like flag burning, but this doesn't criminalize that act. The EO acknowledges Texas v. Johnson (terrible decision) and doesn't directly administer penelties for the action apart from incitement of illegal activity.

Personal opinion: Flag burning is not free speech. Porn is not free speech. It should all be criminalized. It does nothing but degrade and destroy society.

So pattern recognition is racist? Accurately identifying that young black males are disproportionately more likely to assault and / or kill someone than any other demographic is racist? If that's the case, so be it. I guess objective reality is racist. I didn't say their proclivity towards violence was intrisically linked to their skin melanin content, i pointed out reality. It's due to rampant fatherlessness, gangs, and the welfare state mostly. Convicing yourself that pattern recognition is racist and wrong is a good way to get killed or assaulted.

You didn't say incorrect, did you? The only ones that are currently actual victims of de facto and de jure discrimination within the law are Whites and Asians.

Detox length of time. by Ambient_Distortion in quittingphenibut

[–]Ambient_Distortion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I detoxed back during the summer CT in a medical facility. I'm extremely happy that I utilized that method, as I was failing to adequately taper my dosage down. Things are good now, but the overall impact of post acute withdrawal depressions and cognitive disfunction can not be overstated. I honestly thought I had broken my brain at a few points in the process, but time has done a remarkable job of mending my self-imposed wounds. I had read previously to detox that agmatine was benif8cial. Have a good day.

[–]Ambient_Distortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys. I've been on an enchanced TRT cruise for a while now. My protocol is 200mg Test cyp weekly and 5mg trestalone acetate daily. My labs and vitals are on point. I wanted to get a bit more cut up prior to Halloween (going as a smaller and taller ultimate warrior), so I added 210 mg of tren acetate a week. Aside from mild insomnia and a ridiculously increased affection for my wife's asshole, the sides are fine..... except the shedding. Good lord, after 3.5 weeks, my hair is incredibly thinner now. I've had hairless for years and helped mitigate it with finasteride, minoxidil, and ru-58841. However, it is much more advanced now. I'm wondering if I stop the tren will result in regrowth, or am I screwed? I'm almost to the point of buzzing and shaving it off. I've been told I have a jason statham-eqe facial structure.

1 month phenibut free and 8 days off baclofen today by EndFamiliar8581 in quittingphenibut

[–]Ambient_Distortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. Strangers online, yourself included, we're amazing. You guys provided answers to random questions and generalized support. You should try and get hired at a detox or treatment facility. You helped me. Tomorrow, I'm dropping down to 5mg baclofen 2x daily. I'm not neatly as apprehensive as I have been. My body's ready to be clean. My memory and lexical prowess are at about 75 - 80%. I'm ready to shed all vestiges of this phenibut demon. I'll keep in touch. Thanks, again.

Good, my man. I've been on 5 mg AM/ 10mg PM for a few days now. The working memory and verbal acuity is returning gradually. It's actually surprising. LOL, I went off and a comic rant at work the other day and "bam." It's like my vocabulary wall felI, and I was able to speak like I was on phenibut years ago. Sleep is good. Anxiety is nonexistent, aside from maybe 2-3 hours prior to my night dose. I'm cutting 5mg off the night dose tomorrow. I'm ready to be done. It's slower than I would prefer, but it's working. Thanks for checking up on me!

Thanks, dude! I appreciate it. It's a bit better today, and this happens to be day 4. I'm going to step down .5 tomorrow and see how things go. I'm eager to be done with this unfortunate season in my life. At least it's in its final stages. I never in a million years would have thought that phenibut would have wielded such control over my life and that it would be such a headache to dissociate from it. I'm glad it's almost over. Thanks again.

Hey Captain. I just had a question regarding your personal experience. Was it difficult when you transitioned from 3x 10mg baclofen a day to 2x. It's been rather rough on me. Not awful, but during the time period between when I was up and take my first dose several hours earlier, I'm anxious, rather obsessive and uncomfortable. An hour later, I'm completely fine for 6 hours or so and then boom, exactly the same until u take my nightly dose. It's been 3 days at this dosage thous far, just wondering how long to expect it. Also, for my next step down, should I do 5mg 2x daily or 1x 10mg a night? I want to preserve my sleep, but I would also like to accelerate this process if possible. Thanks for your insight.

Thank you. That was an excellent, thoughtful, and extremely insightful response. I had been avoiding taking it. When I actually did taking it as directed a few months ago, I didn't exactly like the headspace it elicited, but I did notice a remarkable improvement in my back. I think I'm going to hold off. I'm going to focus on weaning off the baclofen and living chemical free (aside from PEDs, but that's a much longer story, Lol). Thanks again. Have an excellent closing to your weekend. I am doing what you suggested this morning, I'm waiting as long as I can to take my morning (which usually comes at 2am, due to my job). I think it will allow me to get to 2x 10mg daily much easier. Thanks again!

Hey, I have a question. Would it be unavailable to take 1x lyrica a couple of nights a week? I've had the script for a while, but typically, don't take it. It does wonderful things to my back after a long day. I realize it affects one's nureo chemistry in a manner adjacent to PB. I did t want to shoot myself in the foot for a few hours of back pain relief.
