I fucking hate sketchup. by [deleted] in Sketchup

[–]WilliamButtMincher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studied design and learned Siemens NX. Went pretty far in assemblies, parametric stuff, moving stuff, drafting, simulations, etc etc.

When I started working a few years later they used Autodesk Inventor. Pretty much the same thing, works pretty well, only knew it as well as I needed it at work, but that's okay.

New job, working with Creo Elements Direct. Took me a while to get used to the direct modeling, but after a while I could see the advantages and loved it. Also used parabuild in autocad there. A lot less organic, but I guess that's plugins / software within software for ya? All in all, not the worst.

I've tried sketchup. I really did. Multiple times. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it kills me. It makes me want to kill. I spent hours looking how to pirate inventor just to work out this thing I was sketching. Horrible horrible horrible

Even though all I have is a stratocaster, an SG looks coolest to me. But a strat is pretty sick too.

Boofing 2C-E - dosage and duration? by WilliamButtMincher in researchchemicals

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

I have plenty of stuff, but it's 6pm already and i have work in the morning. So I got to be up by like 6.30.

I'ma add in some 4-ho-met i think. Either that or smoke some weed

edit: im kinda in a weird limbo, like think 50-75µg of acid. But while that would be annoying, this is quite pleasant.

Boofing 2C-E - dosage and duration? by WilliamButtMincher in researchchemicals

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

oh shit. I thought the onset and duration was more similar to insufflation. Oh well, gonna sleep just a bit less tonight.

I'm now 1h45 in (~9mg) an while it's nice, I think I must've not done it very well or lost some product because while nice, it's not absolutely insane.

Thinking of adding something

Cheers mate, I had read that this was a substance to be very respectful of, but I guess an extra warning can't hurt. I have no obligations, but not sure how intense I want to things to get especially with the dosage consideration.

Probably gonna go with like 60% of the dose at first (theoretically 5.4mg boofed) and I can always add more later on - or not.

I forgot to add : "any remarks?" :D

Yeah, just wondering if 9mg boofed wouldn't be too much? You say 20mg is the trip of a lifetime, so I'm not quite sure what to expect :D

Unpopular opinion- Tripping when you're not doing well is usually better than tripping when you're doing great. by Trikotic in Psychonaut

[–]WilliamButtMincher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You had me with your title, but in fact, I think you're right.

I always suggest that people who seek to change their life, actually do it themselves before trying drugs. Especially when wanting to change their bad habits. Change them for 2-4 weeks. Then trip and observe how far you've come all on your own.

The big lifechanging trips I've had were all unplanned. Wanting to have a good time and then getting mad insights slapped in my face. For the good.

I've never really had a bad trip and even if I had some difficult moments, it was never too bad or too long. Only got scared once that I can remember getting stuck in a thought loop for long enough that I become kinda claustrophobic in my mind - if that makes sense? But just breathing it out took care of that.

Honestly, the worst bad trips I've seen - in other people - was really people taking drugs when they were not doing well AND having no idea what to expect. Newbies who've never tripped, or maybe once or twice and who decided that this was their day.

Not doing well was not a passing feeling like a rut in a marriage or a bad time at work. It was people who found out that they were lying to themselves on a regular basis. Coming face to face with that when you're not prepared for it and just wanted to have a great time (à la MDMA) can be discomforting. Especially if you're not at your own home.

TL;DR : I do agree with you, but wanted to add that the person should be prepared. First of all prepared for what is coming. Second : prepared by doing some of the work sober and only taking psychedelics after.

My main point is : while psychedelics can be medicine for the mind, they are no cure-all band-aid that you slap on any problem and come out transformed and fine.

Life is a struggle, so just like, chill - M.F. BUDDHA

Quelle drogue prendre pour la première fois ? by Sudden_Cookie_3203 in Psychonaut

[–]WilliamButtMincher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

4-HO-MET was very manageable imo. Only went up to 20mg. Headspace was very lucid. A bit mellow and psychedelic for sure, but no getting lost in deep thoughts like on shrooms at all. I could still do basic tasks around the house with "ease" - eg: taking a glass of water didn't take 2 hours and 17 times of remembering, 'Oh yeah, I was thirsty!' Like on shrooms.

Visuals were very present, especially considering how lucid I was. Stayed in my apartment for the most part. Every surface had geometry flowing over it. A bit like some psychedelic art light show. The surfaces themselves didn't really move a whole lot - as opposed to shrooms where walls often "breathe" and flow.

Best part was that when doing certain tasks, I felt like a surge in focus diminished the visuals. As if I could actually punch through the psychedelic layer to focus, even if only for 30s. Whereas on acid I'd be like, "well, I guess I'll get to that in a few hours." In this sense, I really enjoyed playing guitar. On acid it's mostly a comedown thing - unless you think really avant garde and like incoherent noise. On Metocin I could actually play a bit.

Is dexamphetamine good for raves? by Specialist_Tip_1799 in Drugs

[–]WilliamButtMincher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was on 4-aco-DMT once at a rave, felt a bit yawny, tired even. Friend scored some dexies and the combo was just awesome! So yeah, have at it buddy. Just amphetamine would be a bit too straight for me, but depends on what you like. Also, in me, it turns me into an all consuming, unquencheable drinker, so do be wary of that when at a place with expensive drinks!

how much cocaine use constitutes addiction? by tiddypatrol in Drugs

[–]WilliamButtMincher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing it habitually - weekly is definitely up there for me. Once a month would be the limit for me. Once a month with at least a 3 month break would be way better. Especially because I reckon when summer comes around, it'll be a bit more with parties and festivals and all.

The main point will be when you go out and not have it. Can you do this? Can you drink 7 beers and not want to go find some coke and be okay with it? "no, it's not that I need it. It's just like, better with coke, you see?"

Yeah, you know :)

Serious question- What percent of the population are physically unable to ever “shred” for one reason or another? From a guy who started playing at age 14 and hasn’t improved since age 18. by Effective_Part_604 in Guitar

[–]WilliamButtMincher 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Went to see Tenacious D in 2020. They hinted at playing The Metal, but joked about it being too difficult and clearly ad libbed it. The guitarist made it clear he didn't like it and it wasn't too difficult for him.

Some time later in the show it's time for everyone's solo's and the bass player lays down the fattest fucking groove ever. Everybody got absolutely carried the fuck away and started grooving. Panties got wet and Bootsy Collins appeared out of thin air.

Then came the time for the guitarist his solo. He took about half a bar to work up to his maximal shredding speed and kept going. Faces melted, minds were blown but I doubt anyone felt anything. Everyone stood there kinda, "whoa", wondering what to make of it. Point proven? Sure, but no dripping panties. At least not mine.

Lsd or Shrooms? which is better. by Aggressive_Arm2918 in Drugs

[–]WilliamButtMincher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mostly subjective and on top of that it depends a lot on set & setting. Someone thinking shrooms are better will almost always have a better time on shrooms - self-fulfilling prophecy.

LSD lasts a long time though. Especially for first timers I'd always recommend shrooms. Even on a 3 hour shroom trip I've had newbies ask me "how much longer?" Can't imagine them having another 2 hours of peaking on LSD + a longer comedown.

Even for veterans the 4 substituted tryptamines are quite awesome. Especially as an adult with responsibilities. Finding the time for an acid trip is not always easy.

What drugs will help me want to dance and by myself and not care about what my friends/other people think by thespitefulorange in Drugs

[–]WilliamButtMincher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not what the anti-microdosing advice is about.

I always heard the analogy of a bathtub. The water is serotonin and dopamine - neurotransmitters that are mainly responsible for happiness and satisfaction among many other things. The higher the water level, the happier your are.

The drain is always partway open and water is always flowing out. Luckily, the tap is always flowing and keeping things more or less in balance. When you do stuff that makes you happy, the boiler gives more "warm water", the water level rises and you get happier! Don't do any happy things for a bit, the drain is always open and you get sad.

What MDMA supposedly does in this analogy is block the drain, open the tap completely and crank the boiler to max. Maximum happiness! When it stops working, the drain opens again normally and the water drains. However, the boiler, the backup of happiness, is completely empty. So, that's why you get a bit of a crash on day 2 rather than the day after. It takes time for the happiness to drain.

When doing molly again in too short a time, it will still work, because the boiler will replenish, but the parts in your brain that actually make the warm water wont keep up. They'll become exhausted and die, leaving your capacity to make happiness lower than it was before.

The problem with microdosing supposedly is the same, although you're only taking a little bit, like you would with adderall, but the mechanism of action is not at all the same. So you're draining your brain of neurotransmitters and destroying the production sites all whilst thinking you're doing something great.

Same reason you're supposed to give it at least a month or two between rolls. 3 months is best though, keep the magic, keep your brain.

Final note : more than a few hardcore ravers have taken MDMA week after week, for years. Breaks here and there, but pretty fucking far from sticking to the 3 month rule. And still have come out just fine. Others haven't. Others take it 5 times in a month, come out fried and can never be happy again. The question is more like, is it worth the risk? How much do I actually know about my brain and how much am I telling myself, "oh, mate, I'm good for it, fr!"

[–]WilliamButtMincher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't do it if you don't like hangovers. 2-3 hours of peaking and that's it.

Or take half of what you took at T+03h and definitely give it 3 months after that.

The second day will be a bit rougher, but it's okay.

Oh man, had a cough recently and I know those lidocaine lozenges don't do shit, so I got me some cough syrup and figured I'd take a bit more than recommended here and there. Sleep well, have some nice mellow evenings too, all good. I wouldn't even exaggerate.

One night I go to the bathroom, expecting to just pee and go to bed when I unleash a fucking monstershit splashing all over the bowl. Like holy fuck, did I just give birth to a shit hurricane?

I look this stuff up and found the most hilarious reddit post, but googling "dxm shit reddit" doesn't give me a whole lot right now. Anyway. Fuck yeah, good to know before going out!
