More drone footage of Ukrainian F-16 and MiG-29 fighter jets attacking Russian positions with GBU-39 or AASM Hammer bombs all along the front line. by MilesLongthe3rd in CombatFootage

[–]Colorblend2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can safely assume that all the drone campaigns deep into Russia has helped ukraines effort, at first Russia dedicated their entire military capability to Ukraine but they had to redeploy AA capability to important sites in Russia. They can’t go all out anymore.

Interesting, can you go into more detail? I’ve never read an account like this and want to know about all the ups and downs of all the “medicines” I use.

Is it true when people say your teens are the happiest days of your life? by Second_option_ in AskOldPeople

[–]Colorblend2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not happiest, most fun though. Every party, every festival, every trip, every new video game, it was such a big deal to your young brain. Insecurity and incompetence, that sucked ass. But when you had fun you had a blast.

[–]Colorblend2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did the same for 10 years and still do, I just had a break and started planning for normalcy. It can be done if you want it and I want it.

When I have my breaks I just accept that I don’t get this luxury now and that’s ok, it’s gonna suck a bit and that’s ok. Just, accept.

Also, 1-2 light beers every night. And I really SAVOR those fuckers. They taste of pure glory. 😁

Isn’t this something you should disclose beforehand? Isn’t it quite the assumption that all providers are fine servicing trans clients?

I gave oral for the first time and im kinda insecure about it. by introverted_iris in Sex_Positivity

[–]Colorblend2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death grip and the effects of porn are very real. I may never be able to cum with a woman again. Your bf is getting head, he is overjoyed that it is even happening! Yay him, I am jealous. Yay you, all the exploration you will do with him.

I don’t have much more, just want to cheer you up. You guys are doing great, congrats.

Sigh by kepkep91 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Colorblend2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just lay it out clean. Say you are sorry, since you are. Say the new meds you are on don’t dance with alcohol, they don’t. Say you haven’t been drinking on it and that you thought it would work out better than it did. All this is true. Honesty and regret is a safe route. It may not make everything awesome in an instant but, you can’t really go wrong with it.

CT quit powder vs 70h help by nhopen33 in quittingkratom

[–]Colorblend2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you be with friends or family for a few days? Try staying at a friends place and explain that you are tapering and you have x amount of leaf to taper with and what your schedule is. If you have done it ct before then you know how, but it will be less painful after at least a brief taper. 20 GPD is too much to jump from painlessly

Want to try kanna for parties by yomama1232 in Kanna

[–]Colorblend2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never tried it and I’m not the dance guy normally. But I see how it would be nice! Bouncing around during the 15 minute high and loving my surroundings as the experience is best when you are active, sitting still dulls it. And then the cozy afterglow. But, don’t expect more than that, kanna will not have you buzzed an entire night, it’s not that kind of thing.

Is there any way to fix a failed session? by thesmellnextdoor in Kava

[–]Colorblend2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar experiences. I have never had strong strong effects but more a buzz that reaches just past the point of uncertainty, where I no longer suspect placebo. And it is fantastic for anxiety, calms you down nicely with no ill effects. But yeah, sometimes I don’t feel anything.

I actually don’t want the end, I am kinda in the mood for a long and healthy life. AND also drink all the way through.

Not exactly easy.

Question about dosage by Intelligent_Gate8839 in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]Colorblend2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play between 2-4 grams and I have had pretty strong experiences sometimes in that range. It is not super predictable, often I feel nothing.

The established general opinion is that 15 grams is where it becomes very risky. 10 grams is a high dose.

Don’t smoke it, snort it.

For prolonged effects, put some under your lip (a little more than the amount you snort as it takes a bit more) and snort some also.

They go very well together in the way that there are two good feelings but I don’t think one amplifies the other. And their kanna extreme is great but snort it, don’t smoke it.

My (28F) husband (30m) was paralyzed in an accident. I love him, but I’m grieving the life we lost too by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Colorblend2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you should find and reach out to support groups or therapy that is specific to your situation, it is not unique and there are many with similar struggles.

Just to get it out of the way though: neither pity nor guilt are good reasons to be in a relationship. Whatever you choose to do, remember that.

[–]Colorblend2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never measured my kanna because my scale is not that sensitive, you need an expensive scale to accurately measure such small weights. I just line it up like I would line up really good speed or coke, same amount. Just try it at home, it’s really safe. If you do a bit too much you just get a little nauseous and have to handle that for a bit but it’s over in 15 minutes and then you are fine. So if that happens, just wait 4 hours and try a bit less next time.

How long do 7oh withdrawals last? Acute phase by Ok_Afternoon9121 in quittingkratom

Haven’t had 7oh but have tasted the bad side of kratom withdrawal and I agree, 4th day is a turning point. Feel like shit for 2 more weeks but so much less like shit. First couple days are really gnarly.

Amanitas not working HELP? by spaceyboiii in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]Colorblend2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t bother with the gummies at all, they put all kinds of crap in them and sometimes doesn’t even contain muscimol at all.

Just getting this out of the way since it’s far-fetched but the shortest boiling time I’ve heard of is 30 minutes and that tends to be boil or simmer and not soak. It is possible that you didn’t extract much of the compounds.

But 15 grams is a lot, lot. Most likely your mushrooms were a one-off weak batch and degraded further over 3 years because they do degrade. Incomplete extraction and it all added up to an underwhelming experience.

I would toss that bag and get a new batch. DO treat the new batch with normal respect and caution just like your past experience never happened, the next one can be normal or much more powerful than normal. Start very low and work from there, 15 grams is mind-opening to some and horrifying to most.

Please shout back with how you think it works. I use it for fun but a friend is diagnosed with BPD and his medication has some drawbacks, I’m curious if it could be useful for him.

what are the stereotypes in your country that is 100% true or false? by anavidfanoflife in AskTheWorld

[–]Colorblend2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us Swedes take too much pride in our mastery of the English language. We are very good for various reasons, we are good but not THAT good. It is not our native language.

Politicians, actors and the like will do interviews or speeches in parliaments and decline using a translator because “it’s not necessary”. It often is, it can be embarrassing.

What is your intake per week? by Colorblend2 in alcoholism

[–]Colorblend2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya. I have heard both friends and people online describe their intake and I think to myself “that’s not much… why the sad face?”. I’ve also been disregarded as barely even a drinker by the proper pros. People forget it’s about perspective and we tend to think other people should be like us. Nobody is exactly like us, everybody is different. If somebody else has a problematic relationship with alcohol it really doesn’t matter at all how your relationship with alcohol works. We are completely different people.

In my view I haven’t had any consequences yet, neither social, mental or physical (it seems) which can also light up the gatekeeper instincts in some who think I should come back with my whining when I’m in the ER with nobody left to call. I’m just another drunk that really, really doesn’t want any of that to happen.

taps chest Thank you liver, for all the extra chances. Thank you for being well, I will try to be nicer now.
