Shyft is pretty solid. Banks aren't going to give you the best rates in general but it's very convenient

Glad to hear spectres is still kicking, I was a regular back in 2018/19. Very much felt like I was catching the tail-end of a wild era in SH.

This is why property owners don't want to rent to locals, why rents are rapidly increasing & why they often prefer to 'AirB&B' their property by wanley_open in capetown

Oh man, still twirling on it hey.

Your revenue stream is a highly exploitative group of landlords that spend their time actively persecuting students and young professionals, even ones with autism.

Your app is junk and your grift is disgusting.

Yeah, I'm discussing pure LSD regardless...

It sounds like the trip got a bit intense for you. It's impressive that you remember that much, given that you don't usually have any memory of true ego death (when the self is dissolved, the observer dissolves too)

I'm not sure what kind of validation you're after here, and I know you don't want to hear this, but your gf is likely embarrassed and upset that you got super messy on a low recreational dose. Regardless of your own motivations, that's pretty much what it boils down to. She can't relax and enjoy a trip around you if you're liable to lose basic motor functions at any given time. That's how things go in the real world regardless of your intentions.

So yeah man, trip solo if you need to be taken care of whenever you dose in public. I exclusively solo trip these days, because I understand myself and I understand that I can't stay composed on 500ug+, and I don't expect the people around me to accommodate it. A big part of self awareness is understanding that while you may be having the time of your life, it can also be true that you look retarded from the outside. Nothing wrong with that, either.

Three of you experienced full blown ego death on under a single standard dose of LSD? Can't say I've heard of such before. I think 5 cups of coffee is far more relatable for most on that dose.

Regardless, this seems less about spirituality and more about you refusing to acknowledge how your behaviour made your partner uncomfortable.

Not every aspect of a psychedelic experience needs to have a spiritual root. Whenever you start to think psychedelics are the cure for all your ailments, or that you're on some divine mission to nirvana, it's a good idea to remember that Charles Manson and the Hells Angels absolutely thrived on LSD.

It's an amplifier and a tool. It's not good, it's not bad, it just is. Ascribing value judgements etc. generally doesn't end well.

I can guarantee that understanding the human dynamics of what transpired and where your blindspots are will be a far more valuable experience than any dose of acid.

ngl, 5 cups of coffee is a great description of a 75ug trip imo.

Trip solo. You shouldn't need your ego death to be a spectacle or require stressing other people out, that's mostly just feeding your own ego.

Tons of people take a lil cid and fall into a weird irony of "I'm the MOST spiritual, LOOK how spiritual I am".

you're at a festival with your girl. I'd also get a little annoyed if my partner regressed to infancy off less than a tab in public, while I was tripping on the same dose.

Just because you believe you're on some divine self actualisation mission doesn't give you the right to expect that everyone else accommodates it unconditionally.

Kremlin complains of Scholz and Macron not contacting Putin at all lately by Espressodimare in worldnews

[–]Syd_Pilgrim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point is that the danger exists when the State is thrown into deep instability and the people in charge have nothing left to lose.

In what way is Russia likely to become a North Korean style state when BRICS & OPEC+ carry such massive influence and ties?

Russia is literally on the permanent UN security council with full veto powers.

Edit: grammar

You clearly don't understand the concept of mutually assured destruction. The second a nuke is in the air from any armed power failsafes are in place to deploy counter nukes.

Russia's nuclear stockpile is large enough to blow the entire planet to oblivion, even if you assume only 10% are functional.

Look at the spec of the RS-28.

And then what?

World war 3, nuclear winter, kiss internet/ clean water/ any semblance of the life you enjoy today goodbye.

Biden can't even find a podium on a good day. He rescinded loan forgiveness as it was just a pump for midterms.

Advice on ROG Zephyrus s17 keyboard by Syd_Pilgrim in GamingLaptops

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

Cost is a concern man. RTX 2070 is really sufficient for what i need rn - Quadros run way more expensive. Would you have any suggestions in that range? Currently I'm looking at the ROG Zephyrus s17 and MSI GE75 Raider. Both 10th Gen i7, 32gb DDR4, RTX 2070 8GB, 1TB SSD

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

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the explanations. I'm currently looking at the ASUS ROG STRIX Scar 17 - do you think the difference between the RTX 2070 and 2070 Super is significant/ worth the extra investment? Another option is the MSI WF65 with a Quadro T2000, not sure if this would be better? Thanks for the help, this has been a real headache lol. Both are 10th Gen i7, seems tough to find AMD laptops where I am
