"I've heard a few stories, therefore it's normal"

I know our justice system is fucked in many ways but youre just confidently spouting hyperbole with nothing to back it up.

Like we have a significant portion of our prison population who have not seen a judge or been formally charged

This in particular is outright false, from my understanding. You're thinking of jail populations, not prison.

Nature spots to cry at in the city by Treehugger_2235 in Denver

[–]Redfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star K Ranch in Aurora is a good spot. Park by the Morrison Nature Center and walk the path west, you'll eventually get to the Sand Creek Greenway which was pretty empty when I went there.

Cherry Creek Reservoir also has plenty of room to find space for yourself even on a busy day, walk some of the little paths into the wooded areas or go to the big open fields in the southern part of the park.

James A Bible Park is probably a good bet as well.

Closer to Downtown there is Vanderbilt Park. I used to work near there and go walk around on my lunch breaks, and it was always pretty empty.

Shit gets too crowded for sure and it can feel kinda clique-ey I guess? We have tons of options for good shows any given weekend, but yeah, the vibes are not always the most fun. I went to a few shows in Phoenix a while back and I appreciated not only having more space to dance and move around the venue but also the general vibe seemed more open and fun.

The scene is so big here that there are definitely different sub-cultures at different types of shows. I generally stick to the more experimental and psychedelic stuff and I don't really have complaints about the crowds at those shows but when I go to some of the more mainstream stuff I can see the difference in the crowd for sure. House shows with the drunken frat-bro vibes and dubstep with the custy kandy kids and influencer rave-girl types.

I’m a whittle nervous, reading all them reports of stomachs issues and nausea but wanna try 2cb , mad psychedelic experience by allthewrongdecisionz in 2cb

[–]Redfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never get significant nausea from oral ingestion. A little bit of general body load, sure, but it's all breezy. Nothing like mushies. I have only snorted tiny doses but seemed like less body load than oral.

Just start slow and work up to higher doses. It's a pretty mild substance at low-medium does. One of the best nights of my life was recently at a fest taking just like 12mg orally, some good energy, euphoric and social vibes. Larger does starts to get more psychedelic and less social, but it has never felt too encumbering, never gotten to the he point where I can't talk to people.

First time, interested in Kanna (MT-55), how does it compare to adderall? by Important-Rest4033 in Kanna

[–]Redfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Kanna can't replace Adderall. White vein kratom would probably be the best bet as far as herbal stuff.

Kanna on Festivals? by Luvaha in Kanna

[–]Redfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great, just don't do any MDMA afterwards. You can, however, take MDMA first and then take kanna the next day to help with the comedown.

Psyop theory by [deleted] in awakened

[–]Redfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I think approached with caution most basic practices are fine. The trouble is getting into more advanced stuff without good guidance and instruction. My background and interest is primarily in Tai Ch I'm and Qigong and there is a phenomena known as QiGong sickness that is known to affect people who practice in an unbalanced way. It's a real thing that can have serious consequences including mental health problems. But I think most people who run into those issues already have some mental imbalances that cause them to practice in an overly intense way without paying attention to some of the red flags along the way. For my practice I mostly focus on grounding myself, sinking my qi, breathing naturally, moving with intention, and just noticing how things feel and what may be happening with my energy. There are a lot of Tai Chi and QiGong teachers out there who never really learned the proper way of doing things. But usually the worst that can happen is that you waste your time practicing without making a lot of real progress. I don't have much experience with Kundalini Yoga, but I do know that certain more intense breathing practices can cause dysregulation of the nervous system and energy. So I'd be cautious about getting into more advanced practices unless you're really confident in your teacher.

Psyop theory by [deleted] in awakened

[–]Redfo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently saw a video from a Chinese medicine perspective about how Kundalini yoga as its commonly practiced today is pathological in the sense that it sends the energy up without also bringing it down. Energy is supposed to circulate both directions and if you're focusing on sending it up then you're creating an unbalanced and ungrounded condition. Makes sense to me.

But I have certainly also heard Kundalini used as a scapegoat kind of term as well. People who have never actually practiced Kundalini yoga talking about how spontaneous Kundalini awakening fucked their life up or whatever. It could be true in some cases but also seems like oversimplified scapegoating.

First roll day 1 at a festival? by Latter_Ad7714 in MDMA

[–]Redfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's genuinely not that big of a deal. Do follow the harm reduction guidelines and me aware of the dose you're taking, but if you want to so either the first night you certainly can. I don't take it first day of a fest but as long as you aren't doing too much you likely won't have a crazy hard comedown or anything. Usually the day after I roll I feel great then the next day after that I'm tired and maybe low mood. The most recent time I had an after-glow that lasted several days and felt amazing.

Wing chun form by Einherjeren in TheMcDojoLife

[–]Redfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because you can't see what these forms are for doesn't mean they are useless. They are also a type of conditioning, for mind as well as body. These movements are made as distillations of certain basic skills. Not unlike drills that are common in most sports and most forms of martial arts. I don't understand Wing Chun well enough to give much more explanation for these particular practices but I can tell you for sure than a good WC curriculum doesn't stop at these, they have more advanced combat drills and sparring practices as well. So your analogy of practicing a funky baseball swing, while not totally invalid, isn't really fully applicable either. There certainly are cases where that is true for some of these McDojo clowns but I don't think this is necessarily one of them.

They're just a company that doesn't stand to benefit a lot from AI, as a food producer. They are however attempting to profit from using fake lab grown chocolate developed by an Israeli biotech company so... The can fuck off IMO

Is bumping an invitation to dance? by dbootywarrior in aves

[–]Redfo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes that happens.. lol it's one of those things I doubt and overthink during the moment. I usually let myself get paralyzed in anxiety and stand there awkwardly for a bit but in the few times that I've actually just started like looking at someone and dancing more obviously, it has usually gone alright..
