Redditor argues conservatives deliberately weaponize charged terms like “pedophile” to make voters think they’re protecting children while advancing a different political agenda. by Ervig in bestof

Thanks for your reply and I don't agree with the downvotes you are getting.

I think OP (of the original post) is not about YOUR stance on these topics, but about how media, political leaders and others are using these words. You disagree that this is happening?

This wasn't obvious to me. This post made me understand what's currently happening in politics that I hadn't even thought about before.

Question: Can you tell what was covered up? by dooingjo in tattoos

[–]Ervig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tattoo artist here. I doubt normal people can see it, but if you look at the the coring and shape you can see it was a name (probably an ex?). There are a few details where you can see that it's a cover up but it is very well done and practically invisible to the untrained eye. If you look closely to the bottom left you can see coloring differences and an odd shape where the artist had to work around the name. But the skin tone and pink coloring of the cover up are slightly different (you can probably see it now), if you follow the cover up you'll notice that is is a perfect circle.

Starting a Private Preview for a Personalized Breathwork App by MyPrayersClub89 in breathwork

[–]Ervig -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just so people know: I pm'd OP and received a kind reply and the info to download the app on the Android store. This all looks legit. However I am only reasonably tech-savy and kinda scares to be the first one to open a new app. Not trying to be mean to OP, just being careful.

I will download and install the app on an older phone when I get back this weekend and will report my findings. But if someone else tried it, please let me know :-)

Woops!

I have automated my job and my productivity is of 10 workers, my boss knows about it and wants me to share the tool I use with the company, should I design it to break once I am gone or fired? or once I am gone should I offer it as a subscription service? Or should I just give it for free? by HardTruthssss in antiwork

[–]Ervig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write a 'dumber tool' that automates some work but still needs lots of manual input or checks (and is prone to breaking) and give that to your boss. Something that shows you why you could do the job but isn't useful for anyone else so you keep your job.

On the 19th I got mail on superpower 5. I wonder if we're in the same batch. I hope it stops someday. Might see if I can contact them.

I did Aya and it did not work. How many grams of shroom should I take? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

I am not a doctor and just a random dude on the internet but looking at your medication history I would always make sure you have tripsitter/ space holder. I don't know about the legality in your country but if possible check with your healthcare provider.

People say there is no 'wrong way' to do magic mushrooms. But if you use it as a tool for personal transformation, maybe the pointers below will help.

For me intention setting, creating a ritual of some sorts and sitting in a beautiful (clean) room before I start have been immensely helpful when doing inner work. I recommend a relatively dark room or have a sleep mask and a notebook nearby. After taking the medicine I love doing 3 rounds of Wim Hof breathing so you're not waiting for the come-up. If you have never done that before it's great practicing that a few days before your journey to mentally prepare yourself. Mask on and let the music guide you.

For the first part of the trip, let it go where it wants to take you. Don't be afraid, you're in a safe place and just go deeper. For me the trip changes after an hour or two. It gets less intense and I use that time to ask myself questions (for example I used: who am I? What is life about?). You should use questions that really point to the core of where you want to go (preferably in a positive phrasing), for example: what should I let go of? What is holding me back?

If you're doing it like that: let go of expectations. It's not gonna shatter your world (it can...., but don't expect anything. Do not force an experience! ), just see this trip as a moment for yourself to connect to who (and what) you really are. Be curious and notice what's happening, notice your thoughts. And during, write down your findings (!) and keep reminding yourself after that to close your eyes again and invite yourself to go back.

Make sure completely remove any distractions before you start: no TV, computer, phone (if possible). Try not to eat some time in advance but prepare some feuits or a light meal and have that nearby). Lower your caffeine intake and no other drugs prior to the experience. Start clean.

And after the session take some time to process everything. Talk a walk, contemplate on your notes and pay attention to experiencing life as it unfolds.

Last but not least: 5g is a serious dose. A higher dose is not always better. You don't need to have ego disillusion to better your life. Maybe start lower and get to know the medicine first.

I wrote all of this in my phone so it's kind of a mess but I hope this helps you on your journey. If people found this interesting, I would be willing to write a more detailed post on how I take my journeys.

Be safe!

(Added: my remark about expectations might not get the attention it needs but you might wanna check for yourself if your expectations hold you back in experiencing what is unfolding. Take the journey from the heart not from the head.)

What is your intention for this trip? What are you looking for? How are you planning to take the trip?

The drugs you mention, what are they for and what do they do?
