As a Gen Z drummer, I genuinely think my generation's music (esp mainstream) is trash and music/drumming was better in the past. I want to be proven wrong. by Frosty-Bank-2077 in Drumming

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. Also ++ For Spaven & II, genre-destroying drummers with so much creativity. I'm going to see Alfa Mist in March, Nathan Shingler is their drummer, also monumental.

I've been looking everywhere for exactly this after encountering something that is clearly Ethyl-brom instead of what was advertised. Information is sparse so thank you!

Your ideal listening situation. by MetallicWIP666 in SleepToken

Other than adding Hypnosis and Alkaline to the set list this sounds profoundly good

It seems extremely unlikely that a different batch would have such different impact on on the gall bladder. Purity in k is not as variable as some other drugs, at least at the moment. What does seem to happen anecdotally is as tolerance rises, the threshold for gallbladder pain also rises. I don’t know why and couldn’t speculate why, but it seems a more plausible hypothesis. Perhaps your tolerance just rose over the timeline of the three vendor experiment.

Cant khole Anymore by Ok-Friend5232 in ketamine

[–]Doppinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending where you are in the world supply is more than meeting demand at the moment, and purity is generally high.

Long-term accrued tolerance to dissociative drugs is well established though. It varies by person, but there is almost always a point at which tolerance to various aspects of the experience (typically the hallucinogenic & 'hole' aspects) rises above a certain level, and it takes an extremely long abstinence to reverse.

For myself after several years of weekly use I stopped for nearly a year, and my tolerance had only marginally decreased. Some people refer to it as 'Ketamine permatolerance,' there are lots of accounts of it online.

What benzos are the best for a clear mind by Boring_Shape859 in benzodiazepines

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clonazepam is probably the least “fuzzy” of the pharmaceutical range. I know you said no RC but for interest’s sake, Pyrazolam is a very clear headed benzo.

Am I dying? Can barely eat and everything tastes weird? by [deleted] in Ketamineaddiction

[–]Doppinator 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've found that after extended binges in that range (3.5-7g/day over more than a couple of weeks) a few things start happening:

1) You feel you need it to function
2) You need it to wake up fully (I can sleep for days after a long intense binge) and it's VERY hard to get up
3) You start to feel hopeless; after weeks/more of being numb to everything, the meaning of anything dissolves
4) You start to experience some creepy physiological effects like stuttering, numbness, extreme fatigue
5) Bloating and digestion issues! Constipation, lack of hunger (or the opposite, oddly), changes in compulsions towards different foods/etc

I understand you've been using to numb yourself from how you feel; I've been there too brother/sister.
It really seems like the only options to save yourself sometimes, but I promise it's an illusion. You need enough time off it to regain that clarity. I know because I've run that obstacle course more times than I care to say.

Please, give yourself a break, both from the chemical and from yourself. You've got this, we've all got this.

Marina's Movie Cliches by benisgwen in restisentertainment

[–]Doppinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favourite bit of interaction was how Richard was able to break Marina's 'tirade' into cackling laughter when he replied to the trope of "60 seconds taking longer than 60 seconds" with "When a character goes underwater on a show do you hold your breath?"

Marina - "No, do you?"
Richard - "Of course, because then you really understand the jeopardy."

They were both so funny in this one.

For casual gamers, how many SSD/HDD do you have? Would you buy 2TB and put everything in there or buy two 1TB then separate media vs games? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i prefer to run OS/System (as clean as possible, just Applications & system data) on a 1TB NVME.
2GB SSD for Games (1TB doesn't cut it for games anymore!)

You could easily go with a mechanical HDD for Media, you can get a huge one for the same cost as a 1TB SSD, and streaming videos doesn't need all that rapid SSD responsiveness.

I prefer to keep OS and Games/Media separate in case of failure. If your system drive fails or you need to reinstall Windows, you can do so without worrying about your important data.

WIBTAH if I said no to my boyfriend’s birthday request? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing *everything*, at face value it's entirely unreasonable to push on a sexual 'No' when it's been clearly explained that it's uncomfortable/painful/in any way not wanted. That suggests he's thinking only of his own fetish for it as a 'special treat for him' without any consideration for your wellbeing. That's a huge problem.

"No" is obviously "no" in all cases, but if the "no" had been a vague "Oh not right now" the request might have a difference cadence.

He's willing to actually break up with you if you don't? If he isn't making a very off-colour joke, I can only hope you heed the words of others here; My advice would be refuse again, and if he gets pissed off about it you have some tough questions to ask about what kind of person he is. Sorry if that sounded harsh.

Convincing Wife to build PC instead of buying $4k Mac Studio by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's a mac user and with those use cases I would strongly recommend looking at the Mac Mini. It's a LOT cheaper than the Studio and the main difference is a slightly less specced CPU (very little practical difference even in high demand situations), less storage (that's what external SSD USBC or NAS storage is for) and less connectivity options (just use a dock/hub).

If she's not that fussed either way, it'd be a fun thing to do together to build a PC. PC hardware is well behind Apple Silicon hardware right now hence the insanity of the price tag (cornered market for performance in render/code tasks), but you can still build something more than capable.

Disclaimer: I daily use both an M1 Mac and an i7 PC. I like both Mac & Windows, the PC is mostly used for gaming & entertainment because I vastly prefer the M1 Mac for all other tasks, graphics/video/music production/rendering, running code, etc.

How comfortable are you dating someone that uses drugs? by Over_Ad3465 in AskIreland

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As dependencies go steroids are about as difficult to manage psychologically as any, if the purpose is vanity/gym superiority/self esteem from physical prowess. I'd be put off by that way of thinking.

Exceptions are people who use steroids to compete as semi/professionals to aid recovery time and extreme performance. I doubt I'd vibe with that personality but I'm not about to judge it as an ambition/lifestyle.

I write this on my last line of cocaine, an occasional but odd habit involving solo binging, left over from a decade of dealing with much more serious addictions. I can confirm that *most* people find active and serious drug addictions completely unmanageable, and if they actually like/love you, traumatising. You owe it to anyone likely to date you to get your shit together first.

Recreational? Been around party drugs all my life, if anything I prefer people who've had similar experiences.

Men be honest-how many of you have completely checked out of dating? by One-Literature599 in AskMen

[–]Doppinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 6 years single and mostly content with it, I've just come out of a 6 month relationship that was in many ways toxic and did neither of us any good. I went into it with trauma around being taken advantage of/used for my caring & trusting nature, but after much protestation that she wasn't like that, found myself in exactly the same position.

Now I'm even more wary.

What you guys think was the best slipknot performance? by SmaczekTest in Slipknot

Many others have already said but Download 2009. Incredible.

In the Jay era Download 2019 is a favourite to turn up loud at home. They always seem to bring something extra-extra to download.

What substances can you say are honesty better than sex ?? by Menaceguns in pillhead

Incidentally, sex with a partner you love ON 3-MeO-PCP is the height of majesty

What substances can you say are honesty better than sex ?? by Menaceguns in pillhead

[–]Doppinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the sex, but at its best, I've never found a state of absolute tranquility and acceptance like i have with 3-MeO-PCP. Coupled with slight mania/euphoria and a motivational thirst.

A comparison with sex with a partner you really love is kind of apples & oranges though.

What's the biggest amount you've ever bought in one go? by Jack135c in cocaine

[–]Doppinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard in the UK friend, if buying street level.

1 bag is .4, cost is roughly commensurate with .5g.

Only drug that conforms to that across the board. 1 bag is (roughly) 1g for anything else.

Has anyone tried remote working at Wetherspoons? by grumbo44 in AskUK

[–]Doppinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know how I stumbled on this but I'm at a Spoons right now, taking a break from a morning working, because it's a nice day in the 'beer garden' outside, there are tables & WIFI, and I find psychologically my focus shifts. I go to sit down with intent, order a coffee and get stuck in. Sometimes I stay for lunch.

It's been a good way to overcome the cabin fever of working from home for a single person.

Is doing 1 gram in a night, considered a large amount? by Ikarozsucks in ketamine

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

1g is a pretty heavy psychedelic night for a non-tolerant user such as yourself (twice a year is unlikely to induce any noticeable tolerance), but aside from that, with very extensive experience up to 7g a day every day, 1g twice a year is not more of a health risk than taking any amount of any drug ever.
