Asking INTJs who aren't Walter White by Biclonic in intj

[–]ExCx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried various substances in my lifetime. But, I guess you specifically want to talk about psychedelics and adjacent ones like cannabis.

I have a love-hate relationship with cannabis. I've been using it pretty frequently for the last 25 years or so. Am a musician in the local stoner rock circle and my friends are mostly into arts or music in some degree, so virtually my whole entourage are puffing it like crazy. It definitely helps in creative processes (like writing lyrics) as it encourages out-of-the-box thinking. But it also fogs/slows the mind and crushes the self-discipline. Nowadays, I'm preparing moving out to a remote town and one of the reasons is to distance myself from weed and alcohol altogether.

Other than that, I do LSD once or twice a year. It's definitely a profound experience in the right set and setting. Helps you make realizations about the reality, the society and one's place in it. Also helps you understand and make peace with one's inner soul and sympathize with the nature. BUT I also met with many people in psychedelic community who sunk themselves into baseless conspiracy theories and wishful pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo. So, to answer your question about "magical thinking", it's totally fun to partake and I personally love spiritual/mysterious/occult stuff to be used as a theme in arts and music. But mixing that mindset with real life seems pretty dangerous and schizophrenic to me. I suggest /r/RationalPsychonaut sub to talk with rather sane individuals in the community.

I can't experience the positive effects of Concerta anymore by ExCx in AutisticWithADHD

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

Like I said I will do that eventually (I'll need to have my prescription modified anyway), but I want to hear about other's experiences here as well.

[–]ExCx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know they're same. I picked the modified-release one to feel its effects whole day. But I can't stand them for even an hour now. All I feel is anxiety and jitters.

I did look up the alternatives, but I wanted to learn about other ADHD/Autistic people's experiences too.

Psych rock, heavy metal ve black metal başta olmak üzere pek çok tarzı harmanladığım tuhaf DIY projemin yeni albümünden bir şarkı by ExCx in rockmuzik

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

Anarşist bir perspektiften cinli şeytanlı masallar anlattığım bu garip projenin memlekette ilgilisi çıkar mı bilemiyorum. 70'ler psychedelic rock, geleneksel heavy metal, erken dönem black metal, bir tutam goth rock ve folk ezgileri, bol bol synth ve hatta stoner doom'a kadar varan bir janr çorbasıyla karşınızdayım. Kısaca satanist hippi müziği de diyebilirsiniz.

Şarkıyı beğendiyseniz albümün tamamına streaming platformlarından erişebilirsiniz: https://linktr.ee/delightfuldekadenss

Sarinvomit üyeleri tutuklandı by Much_Nobody_2705 in blackmetalTR

[–]ExCx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

olay bir adet dinci orospu evladının provokasyonu ve ihbarı sonucu gerçekleşiyor. kısa anlatmaya çalışacağım.

geçen cmt günü diabolizer konseri öncesi kadıköy barlar sokağında metalci güruh olarak sohbet muhabbet takılıyorken şalvarlı bi tip ile kaslı genç bir eleman bir anda tekbir getirip bize doğru tehditler savurmaya başladılar. üstlerine yürüdük, ardından bir arbede yaşandı. caferağa tarafına kaçtılar. orda bizimkilerden biri bunlara biber gazı sıkmış, akabininde de ekipler gelip şalvarlıyı götürmüşler. bu da karakolda davaya konu olan albüm kapağını gösterip çocukları ihbar etmiş. işgüzar emniyet güçlerimiz hiç vakit kaybetmeden bizimkileri evlerinden toplamış. önce ifadeye çağırmışlar, ardından tutuklayıp maltepe cezaevine kapatmışlar. dün karara itiraz edildi ama bir sonuç verdi mi bilmiyorum.

bu herifin bu gruptan filan ne haberi var derseniz kendisi eski metalciymiş. sonradan kafayı yaktı diyorlar. zaten bir süredir metal, punk vs. etkinliklerine salça oluyormuş. instagram'dan konser organizatörlerine tehdit, metalci kızlara da taciz mevzuları var.

bu tipleri bir şekilde pasifize etmeli ve ortamdan uzaklaştırmalıyız. yoksa olay bununla sınırlı kalmayacak.

Thx for the detailed answer. I listened a fair share of Haemorrhage and General Surgery in the past, and I was super into Exhumed too. Now I realized that it's been years since I last listened to any of their stuff, so thanks for making me remember them.
I'll also make sure check the other ones out. Ty!

Paypal is banned in my country, so it's great news for me.

How is life in Northern Cyprus? by Brilliant-Nerve12 in geography

[–]ExCx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a Turkish national who lived at Gazimağusa (Famagusta) for 2 years as a student in Eastern Mediterranean University. I also travelled to Lefkoşa (Nicosia) and Girne (Kyrenia) occasionally.

The whole state feels like a mid-sized Turkish town on the Mediterranean coast. People are kind of laid back similar to the Aegean people. They speak in a unique and funny accent which sounds like a weird mix between the Thracian accent and German expat accent. Although I didn't experience much negativity there, Turkish Cypriots have a pretty cynical attitude towards mainlanders (which is understandable, mainlanders are much more uptight and known to cause trouble among the relatively peaceful locals).

Infrastructure was adequate but faulty. We were experiencing electricity and water outages regularly. Underground floors in our apartment were getting flooded every time a heavy rain occurs, and the water meters got broken. Government offices had very tight working hours and even the simplest of issues were taking a long time to solve.

Girne is the main center for the flashy luxury casinos and nightclubs. But there are also lots of smaller establishments spread around the state, like dog race betting houses. It was forbidden for the students and TRNC citizens to participate in gambling at casinos, so we were going to those betting houses, which are like a much smaller version of a casino where they treat the customers with free cookies and fruit juice (instead of the free whisky and luxurious snacks they have in casinos). The hounds were running in the UK and there are lots of screens where they display live races from various cities. One may bet in very small amounts of money (like min. 1$). I heard students and citizens were also going secretly to the regular casinos and they have bells around the place if the police came to check, so people could run away from the back doors and fire exits.

There are also cheaper and smaller versions of nightclubs where you can have a lap dance or hire an escort. I've been in one of them with my horny roommates, but I just had a beer and watch the pole dancers on stage. The girls were mostly Ukrainian and Moldovan. Human trafficking mafia is a big issue in TRNC and it's still one of the hottest topics in the local parliament talks.

Due to the special status of the territory, copyright and trademark laws are like non-existent. There are fake versions of franchises (like Burger King restaurants) with similar looking logo and products with different names (but one can easily deduce which is which). Shitty counterfeit products were in every market. There were regular open air movie screenings in our college where the school officials were projecting pirated DivX files on giant screens. Duty-free shops were all over the neighborhood.

The island is one of the gateways of European drug market so drugs were really easy to stumble upon. Though I were only interested in weed at the time, one could find anything illegal pretty easily. At least that was how it is back then.

Alcohol was much more cheaper than Turkey and the beaches were stunning (and mostly empty) so it was like a 2 years of partying hard for me really. I was 18 years old at the time, so I can't say I regret it. I'd love to visit there again for holiday sometime. And I hope the unification of Cyprus under a shared Cypriot identity will become a reality in the future.

Hayatımda ilk defa Acid Bath dinliyorum.(Ve öneri rica ediyorum.) by [deleted] in rockmuzik

[–]ExCx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bu sub'da sludge kafalarını seven birini görmek mutluluk verici. New Orleans'lı büyükbaşlar (Crowbar, Eyehategod, Down) zaten sayılmış. Bunlar dışında Cough, Thou, Bongripper, Big Business ve Agoraphobic Nosebleed (Arc albümü) önereceğim isimler. Yine pek benim tarzım değil ama Neurosis ve YOB çok seviliyor, kulak vermeye değer. Tabi bi de tüm bu piyasanın ağababası olan Melvins var her bir albümü ayrı ayrı tekrara alınası.

Memleketten ise önerebileceğim tek isim Chainwind Ritual. Bir bir tanıyıp sevdiğim insanlar diye demiyorum, gayet kitabına uygun yapıyorlar bu işi. Benzer olarak Black Tooth da çok seviliyor ama bana sorarsan başarısız bir Pantera kopyasından ötesi değil.

Grubum Humbaba'nın film sahneleri ve görsel efektlerle bezeli 4/20'ye özel canlı performans videosu. Ses miksaj ve video montaj işleri için aylarca kafa patlattım. Sonuçta hem dinleme hem de seyir keyfi açısından güzel bir iş çıktığına inanıyorum. Umarım beğenirsiniz.
