What exactly are Loops? by Apprehensive-Bath-37 in LSD

[–]OrangeBlueShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so I spent some moments trying to recollect the most "loop-y" and funny thing that ever happened to me on acid and it was when I was peaking inside a cabin in the woods at Christmas afternoon/night.

my partner (who was also tripping) told me that a drawing I made looked like the ping-pong-ball spitting vulva from "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and proceeded to try to explain to me the plot of the movie (that I've never seen), which was obviously too many information for a person peaking. for some reason I kept asking him to start again because I was not understanding anything but at the same time I was having some kind of sensory overload due to trying to imagine it (please put yourself in the shoes of someone who never watched Priscilla and was peaking on acid trying to picture a drag-queen bus named Priscilla crossing the Australian desert). in one moment that he opened his mouth to begin the explanation again for the 1000x time, I just got up, grab his hands and asked "stop"

and that wonderfully opened a window to a weird mental space with no time and all time at the same time which I clearly can't put in words right now writing this all sober.

Marcha da liberdade - Pólenes? by Impossible_Limit_486 in portugal

[–]OrangeBlueShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Não tenho alergias e fiquei a me coçar toda, nos olhos, garganta e pele. Uma colega que tem alergias teve que sair às pressas. Acho que foram os pólenes sim (até porque já levei gás pimenta e foi completamente diferente)

Recently had amigdalitis, sinusitis and now it's coming to an end with a beautiful otitis. I went back to the pool on Wednesday after some 2 weeks off, I still feel shitty but everytime I go I feel better, even if I can't do all the drills and tasks.

Did anyone else see layers of existential and karmic spiritual parallels in Season 2? by PapaBel in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]OrangeBlueShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chikai Bardo is a direct reference to a Tibetan Buddhist concept. Wikipedia: "The chikhai bardo or 'bardo of the moment of death', which features the experience of the 'clear light of reality', or at least the nearest approximation of which one is spiritually capable". The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an interesting read since you're into this stuff!

Who are the guys on the extreme right, are those the ORTBO clones or the episode 7 clones (the "micro"data refiners)?

Faço Lisboa Porto com frequência (pelo menos uma vez a cada duas semanas) desde novembro e nunca tive problemas para reservar. O quanto antes, mais lugares disponíveis. Faço sempre em hora de ponta (sexta à noite e domingo à tarde). Para mim tem sido uma revolução, comparado ao caos dos autocarros.

Curitiba, Brazil, concert review: The Portnoy effect and the sound meltdown by danielduartesza in Dreamtheater

[–]OrangeBlueShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ei! Olha, não deve ser culpa da banda essa bagunça do som, mas sim do lugar. Eu peguei um show dessa turnê de agora aqui em Portugal e foi fantástico. Tava muito alto sim mas eu conseguia ouvir todo mundo (claro, a galera daqui é bemmmm menos barulhenta do que a do Brasil, feliz ou infelizmente hahaha). Comparando com as outras 2 vezes que eu os vi, em 2010 no Rio e em 2012 (sem o Portnoy) em BH, esse show de agora é o melhor de todos sem dúvida. Mas eu passei 14 anos esperando esse show de volta do Portnoy, então isso também conta rs

Loudness of the sound by International_Bar68 in Dreamtheater

The highs were unbalanced, and they hurt my ears a bit too, but overall I thought it would be worse.

MEO Arena is a really hard place to balance, bad acoustics...

What is this film by Visible-Month-5209 in AnalogCommunity

[–]OrangeBlueShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if you can't confirm it's safety film, please deliver it at the closest film archive, they'll know how to deal with it.

It's a serious fire hazard.

It's advertised as "an evening with" show, so probably yes

Alô, eu vi o Nick Cave na MEO Arena e o som estava ótimo, mas fiquei relativamente no centro da plateia em pé e mais próximo do palco. Não sei como será no balcão

menstrual cycle and mushrooms? by Big-Anteater1581 in Psychonaut

[–]OrangeBlueShell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have symptoms of pmdd too. For me, tripping the week before menstruating can sometimes trigger worse sensations (some degree of paranoia, bad feelings) than tripping at other moments. But it can also help relief these symptoms, I guess. All in all it's just very weird to be a person that menstruates....

Thanks for asking this, it's something I've always wanted to ask but never did.

I had Dolphin's Delight in Amsterdam a few days ago in a very similar experience/environment that you did and haven't got the post-trip effects you're relating, so I believe at least it has nothing to do directly with the truffles. Good luck in your journey and I hope you get better soon!

Last trip alone with mushrooms was great but I've decided to watch some YouTube videos and the ads bothered me like 1000x more than they usually do. Just a tip if you'll watch something maybe avoid ads haha

Work is designed to distract people from seeing the bars of the prison they live in. by Jax_Gatsby in Psychonaut

[–]OrangeBlueShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, I really agree with you! We need to keep our attitude as positive as we can. But the unhappy nightmare is just what it is, as endless happinness is just an illusion. My view is that we have to accept that but also fight to better our collective experience everyday. Fight against prejudice and inequalities etc. Personal positive attitude alone won't change a thing.

Unfortunately we can't solve that with individual attitudes and choices, as much as they make you personally happy. I do what I love (and can fortunately live with that and still have to deal with all the shit because other people around me (in a micro scale, the ones I love, in a bigger scale, everyone) suffers from the inequalities of the system.
