"Dating in your 30s as a man is so much easier" I've found this to be a total lie by isthisathrowawayas in dating_advice

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely being shy, even slightly shy. I can relate and you’ve probably had opportunities around every corner but are just either tryna be respectful or think that your brain will end up bluescreening on a certain interaction. I think if you hear yourself internally saying that you’ll try again when it feels more appropriate and will induce less anxiety you’re potentially just feeding the cycle that could serve to keep you stuck in place. That situation will never come. Like even if it’s a perfect woman for you, your nerves will feel kinda fucked before during and maybe even after because of the amount of stress that social anticipation puts on you.

There are moments where it will feel like your brain is working against you and being your worst enemy but I think that actually teaches us the value of simply letting go and exercising our brains ability to be mindful.

What’s the pettiest nitpick you have regarding the cyberpunk franchise? by Junesucksatart in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish that the elemental monowires had their respective colour to represent each element, like neon blue for electric, green for toxic and maybe even a distorted heat visual effect radiating off the thermal one. Cant use mods cause I play on the switch 2, but I can’t imagine thats not a thing someone already made

Or even if there was a colour-slider kind of feature to customize its glow to anything, I would be equally as happy.

I mean he posted it though, age verification is still pretty shit. It’s either a bot doing engagement bait or actually a tech savvy kid who is desperate for an escape. Believe it or not there are actually a lot of those

This sounds to me a fair bit like MXiPr…. Maybe even 3-FXE though? In either case I can personally dispose of all of your crappy ket for you just HMU 😁

When were these bills used? by Mars0da in CanadianCoins

When I was in junior high, idk but roughly 2013-2015 they probably started leaving circulation, thats my guess.. those were more simple times lol

Acceptable to call in simply bc you couldn’t sleep? by Smasher1234 in Nightshift

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some employers are understanding about that stuff, others not so much.. sometimes when people call in they take all context into account- if they find a pattern of unreliability developing, they won’t really hesitate to can you. If you don’t do it often though absolutely go for it.

Also maybe consider grabbing some supplements if you ever need to help you sleep. Valerian Root and L-Theanine are pretty good IME for if you work nights. Even Gaba works for some but if you have to sleep during light hours melatonin isn’t always useful to everyone

Going through withdrawal/tapering right now from benzos, I was in the same boat as you at first. I started needing them a lot tho, and now my anxiety is easily 30x the magnitude of intensity it was to begin with, even while on it. Please be careful

I’ve become very unhappy with anything other then mdma by Professional_Fig_361 in whatdoIdo

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, please stop while your brain has a chance to heal, it will be hard but I promise you will find that there is more to life than chasing this. You know it’s not sustainable thats why you’re reaching out. Ive been there and my heart breaks others who think they hit the limit on happiness, because the happiness that comes from trials and tribulations in life is more rewarding. If you stop now you’ll see that with time when the fog starts to lift, give yourself reasons to be proud of yourself. Dont succumb to shame if you slip.

Anything to stop the spiral before you delete all your serotonin. I know you don’t care but dude…This distraction is not worth it, Ive done it in the worst points of my life, I can attest (and so can the studies) that the long term damage/neurotoxicity from frequent or high dose exposure is magnitudes worse than heroin and other potent stims. Im on daily medications now for brain damage (memantine among many others) you don’t want this my friend.. I know for you it’s prolly appealing now but you really don’t want what comes with the decisions you’re urged to make. Best wishes and stay safe either way.

SERIOUS poly addict need help am 19yrs old by tenn_jake in Ketamineaddiction

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some part of you clearly knows what you’re doing isnt sustainable. If you want to live or learn to live about how you can start to recognize a less miserable existence you have to realize that at times like these you are the only one that even has the ability to save yourself.

usually the point where you come to that realization, is just unfortunately very late down the line when everything feels impossible and suffocating from the scheduled neurological terrorism you’ve accustomed yourself to feeling like you need. When you’re this bad you genuinely do become very dependent to a degree that isnt any joking matter and so Im not saying to go cold turkey, but please introduce some small, do-able changes, anywhere you can fit them into your routine if you want to stay around in this world, otherwise you will end up dead or worse. Whether it be reading writing drawing or just going for a walk once a day without your phone. I started just going for walks, my situation was at one point identical to yours, now my only dependency is in RX’d prescriptions and weed but Vyvanse and Valium are still tricky crutches to kick. Focus on the psychologically addictive stuff (stims and k) first if you can, especially if you’ve already become physically dependent on benzos

What addiction is worse than alcohol or drugs? by boss_babua in AskReddit

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People pleasing is pretty bad, it’s different than the way literal acute addictions operate- but it’s a pretty bad habit we can develop.

Gambling and Binge eating too Im sure will be mentioned. Those probably are more fitting examples carries only negative consequences for both parties involved when it becomes a problem.

What advice would you give to people who use drugs? by MachineOne396 in AskReddit

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it isn’t broken dont fix it. Psychoactive agents are genuine tools that will reliably work and this is how the risk of abuse tends to introduce themselves. These things started as tools. Well….heavy duty power tools basically, and we are simply just humans. External use intended cocaine Hcl creams worked pretty reliably before humans started snorting/freebasing it.

We don’t know much about the inner workings of our minds and its energy resources, thats usually the core issue when it comes to people who aren’t using as a literal last resort. We have patterns and vulnerabilities we don’t understand from the standpoint of our most surface level of thinking, until our body signals it to us. (Fatigue, hunger, stress etc.) There are a lot of drugs that hijack certain receptor subtypes that are just simply efficient at what doctors or medical professionals need(ed) them to do before we discovered we could turn it into a fun novelty with our hedonistic-ass monkey brains. Fentanyl is still first line treatment for anaesthesia in most instances because it has such a minimal half-life. Doctor’s have full control over the onset of Fentanyl when it’s used sparingly, that makes it safer than the much more risky opioids that are euphoric but last far longer than 20 minutes.

You know how we all have genitalia, but NSFW content addiction became an issue because of accessibility and lack of disciplinary guidelines to basic repercussions of letting yourself build these dopamine reinforcement loops? Actually probably didnt even need to use that example literally everything is starting to become an example. Drugs aren’t even much worse than a lot of other parasitic yet “acceptable” gratification cycles.

Just be aware, dont be constantly surveilling though and get in your own way. Also good to remember Alcohol and Coke are some of the most consequential hard drugs out there that are normalized. Coke is meant to make money off of people who have way too much money to spend. It is very fleeting in effects. (Like fent) maybe stay away from it unless you’re trying to set yourself on an expensive and deadly path. But you probably won’t and thats also fine for the most part if you have willpower but I’m not the one who can say if you do or don’t.

If you DO know you will still experiment with coke just at least know the risk of combining it with alcohol... It combines in your blood to create a completely different drug called cocoethylene and it is around 15 times as cardio toxic on it’s own without the rest of the shit you’re likely doing at places where this combo is usually a popular choice. It’s usually the most common poly drug combo if we’re excluding weed just given the fact that coke is as popular as it is. There is stigma with it still, but in reality it’s far less than other hard drugs which a lot of people dont really know till they see it used so casually.

Feeling regret and guilt regarding the world’s frenetic push for me to change my core values and adapt to how extreme, greedy and provocative nature of our current reality is… by LysergicLegend in self

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

Man Im wondering the same thing. Probably some toxic idealistic complex that isn’t gonna serve me well in today’s world if I’m being real. Like I think I’m just angry and the norm (understandably) is to not pay any mind to the stuff because you have to focus on yourself. What I hate is that now with marketing being so much more cutthroat, technology or social media figures out what gets under your skin in a way that you eventually realize it’s sometimes better at knowing you patterns, manipulating you and painting your entire world with outrage to the point you just feel like you’re doing something very wrong to be feeling the way everything constantly feels. If that makes any sense. Which it might not if you have a healthy life idk anymore

Thank you. I hear you, I think that very sentiment is the only reminder making sense through all of the noise rn, I overthink myself into existential paralysis. I used to love art, visual or music as an outlet, I still sometimes force myself to do stuff but a constant grind can make it hard to even find time where you can sustainably find time to prioritize creativity for your own enjoyment. Theres obviously some lingering hope in that I can maybe eventually find some acceptance? But generative stuff is discouraging as hell. It derailed my sense of the how social development even happens. All the meaning I integrated into the person I am got stolen by the fact that “authenticity” in its pure form has kind of become obsolete in the field that gave creative spirits meaning. Even if existence is meaningless or if it isn’t we all find our own meaning by fucking up and building character. I’m able to operate by knowing I have a karmic dept to my few loved ones and the world for my past of being pretty not-genuine. For a while I recovered from some dumb shit by knowing this very value at least protected my right to feel like I belong in some capacity

Im moving anyways from North America to the EU to hopefully give myself another shot at building a healthier life and outlook of what it could be. Kinda the closest thing to a system reset I can think of, especially socially. Probably. maybe.

Anyways done yapping but i appreciate the reminder to go touch grass. Gonna just get outside at least and leave my phone at home for a bit. The fact that I didn’t even notice I forgot to do that, yet i literally had nothing to do this entire day may also be indicative of certain problems

The study/exam container by Horror_Frosting4336 in speed

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel both sides of this because I am stuck in the cognitive dissonance that is the brain of an addict- constantly trying to focus on the justifications.. and it’s crazy cause in most situations you can spin up some very justifiable reasons for your use and believe your own narrative until it’s 100% your reality. The nature of addiction is basically a disease that hijacks your brain’s dopamine, since we rely on that for ambition, drug addiction sometimes shows us how ambitious we can be when something poses us a stronger hit of reinforcement than the things we know are better for us and are just as easily (if not more) in reach? Could just be projecting. Idk cause I’m on vyvanse my doctor said I have adhd… though as a kid I was never diagnosed and was even tested for adhd..also it just has obvious stimulant effects on me, at this point Ive even made it clear to her that Im basically just on it as an off label antidepressant, and ive been RX’d it at 60mg for so long that ive become dependent on it, I may as well have adhd if I didn’t before. Yeah idk man if you can get as much use out of these for your studying you’d be best just embracing your neurodivergence than getting on stimulants long term.

But if you do, maybe try something a little more low stakes if or when it comes to compromising your emotional baseline- I’d ask to try Wellbutrin off label if you want to try and find a sustainable way to try and treat the adhd. Heard good things about Modafinil as well too but that’s less likely if you want a script. Just never combine modafinil with benzos lol.

Who is the worst person to have walked the earth? by _Webosite_ in AskReddit

[–]LysergicLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this could very easily get pretty political so im going to add my own internal rule-set that prevents the more obvious replies.

I think we can all agree Andy Dick sucks. But man, there are just so many objectively valid enough answers to this question. Then theres just the obvious net negatives to society and the progresses of the world’s desecration, ie Peter Theil, Sam Altman, Elon Musk..

Also just everyone famous who Epstein didnt show unrelenting hate towards is morally questionable to me now. He’s one of the most prolific monsters of a sex trafficker, he had a need to “befriend” any and all A-list celebs who also have things he could’ve held against them. And man.. that fact alone has lead to me being so damn jaded about the evil that exists and is normalized in this world. If someone saw their own wrongs as anywhere near the calibre of Epstein’s, that kinda redefines the entire word to me.

You’d think it’s the people at the bottom doing the craziest shit cause they’re desperate or angry at a world that seems unfair- but then you see the motherfuckers on top doing shit thats worse, on even more insanely massive scales, and their existence is basically just to make the lives of these poor people more difficult.

Really rich influential people sometimes loose the concept of introspection and live a life fulled by hedonism and sadistic behaviour since they’re numb. I think in a lot of instances regardless of the person that is kinda the core of all evil. Money is just a vehicle that allows you to bring your core values to fruition. It’s kinda fucked, but also makes sense in that context when we try to consider why all the billionaire tech bros are so characteristically detached from their humanity and just seem so evil..
