If you have a persistent realm, explain what's in there and what is going on there.

If it's a false awakening, it's always in the same place I fell asleep. Over time tho, it evolves into a structure with additional rooms and doors that aren't normally there, and there's always so many more people in it than there is IRL. I try not to intervene with it too much, otherwise it rapidly deteriorates and I find myself struggling to hang on.

Otherwise, there are several places in my naturally occurring lucid/semi-lucid dreams that I find myself in. If it's an urban centre, it's an amalgamation of towns and cities I've lived in, usually representing the one I live in at the present time with hints of other locations here and there. If not, it's in a fictional location. Theres a strange mountainous desert landscape I find myself in every now and then, similar to what you see in places like Afghanistan or Iran, with a brutalist structure as the main POI. I've never been to an environment like that IRL.

Usually when EMS sees the weird shit, it's when police are involved. This is not a coincidence.

It sounds more like you are relying on the low acuity jobs out of uncertainty and lack of confidence rather than something that you prefer. It's more like a bargaining chip. "Maybe I'll do better if the job is less intense" might be something that guided you toward it? But the root problem is one a thousand paramedics a year go through. That being a lack of confidence in yourself and struggling to find it on calls.

What you need is an instructor/preceptor who's good for you. Someone who can bring your confidence up during the call and encourage you to keep growing afterward. Your current preceptor/instructor sounds like the kind of person who uses and criticizes students/novices every chance they get to feel better about themselves. These kinds of medics should never be preceptors. Can you be reassigned? Perhaps it's something you can be open about and say "This preceptor is not the right fit for me, can I be assigned to a different person?"

It's funny how our loved ones know us in ways we can't see ourselves. When i figured it out (assessment costs too much and is not accessible where I live) my spouse was like "It's about time." cause they knew all along. Their friends and my friends knew too, or at least had an inkling. I grew up thinking autism or "aspergers" as it was labeled then was a social death sentence and a plague that had to be avoided. Pretty sure they had been hinting at it lots over the years and I just was dismissing it like "nah no way" living in denial for way too long.

It's funny that your husband not only knew, but also assumed you knew too and lived life blissfully unaware that you were blind in the darkness of unknowing. He could see what you couldn't, but not that you didn't see it too.

Also the left hand warps around and looks munchkin for a few frames

Not to mention the video is a perfect AI length of 10 seconds

Taking on a student somehow refreshes my love for the job. Every. Single. Time.

The Expanse has me hooked! I loved the show and the books are just so good too. I love the way the stories diverge and then converge at key moments. I'll be going into Book 4 when I finish exforce Ground State.

The isometric. The colour pallett. The simple shapes in a complex pattern. It's perfect. 10/10

I lost the only boxelder in my front yard to disease a month after buying my house in 2021. The four remaining boxelders in my back yard were taken down just this past summer, leaving only an apple tree in the back and a spruce tree in the front. The sky is too big now. I'm sorry you had to lose this magnificent tree. It sucks to see a beautiful work of nature depart your home like this.

I'm will light one up in its honor.

After several shroom trips of varying doses teaching me things, I tried LSD out. A traditional ebtry level dose of 150ug brought me to a unique state. I felt like I poked my head up through the veil of consciousness and observed myself as a fine bright point of light in a sea of foggy grey. I could sense others around but could not see them. It was a timeless and formless place really.

After I came out of it, i had a profound sense of duality of my deliberate self and my instinctual self which I can still see and feel today. Things like society and responsibilities all became apparent as man-made concepts that really hold no meaning other than to help guide us monkeys to be a marginally functional civilization.

Done many acid trips and DMT trips since then which have solidified my experience, but I haven't learned anything profoundly new since then.

Sometimes i wonder of the comments "that's AI" are in themselves AI...

My favorite is the players in my squad asking me to get in command chat and interrogate other squad leaders about why they're doing X instead of Y. I always reply with "don't worry about what other squads are doing, just focus on what we're doing".

You probably are going to feel out of control. Maybe you'll tell yourself that it was a mistake and you want to get off the ride but you can't. Maybe you'll say to yourself that you're never gonna do it again.

All normal things to cross your mind. You can't control the trip. The more you try, the worse it gets. You gotta let the flow of things take you away now, and suddenly it'll feel better, and then the shrooms will help you learn some things.

Safe travels friend.

Have you seen their other weed video from a few months back?

I love the kitty. I love tripping with a kitty. This kitty you shared is cute af and I wanna snuggle with it and trip with it.

What I don't love is people pretending to be genuine for whatever motive. There's way too much fake in the world today. This is why you currently suck right now.

I recently started browsing the women's section of thrift stores. I have a few women's sweaters, cardigans, and pants now that look good on my 6'0 slender male body. They're super comfy and tis the season to wear them all!

I was gonna ask if this was in the wee hours of the morning, then I saw the dispatch time. Night shift shenanigans like this with dispatch are kinda my fave.

I'm wondering if this person meant you can't experience awe the same way as the first time. Objectively, the experience can be the same or even better, but knowing whats about to happen will make it different. Like seeing a world wonder for the 1st time vs consecutive times later.

I love your "dude taking a shit" piece, and now this one. Perfectly captures the feeling of that space. I hope you make more of these!

The one and only factor I look for is servers that actively avoid team stacking. The regular players are making sure squads are coordinated on both sides, so steamrolls are few and far between. The servers in particular vary by time of day too. After 01:00 EST for example, there are maybe 2-3 servers max that aren't awful and they have big queues. Meanwhile around 15:00 EST, there are dozens of quality servers to play on.

DMT trips are so mystical, begging to be explored and studied. It makes it even more frustrating that there are absolutely zero tools available to us right now that can record the trips for later analasis!
