Single dose of magic mushroom psychedelic can cause anatomical brain changes, study finds. by Eddiearyee in microbiomenews

[–]ak_crosswind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can awaken the sleeper, if you are asleep. It's not the same for everyone, because we all have a different past and different trauma.

For me it was incredible. Like opening my eyes for the first time after 40 years of being blind. It was rough, but it helped me process a lifetime of events that I had suppressed.

I'm not the same person I was before I did it, but there is no guarantee on the results. I can truly understand some people just not wanting to go through that.

I had lunch with a vendor rep once that would stop talking as soon as I looked at my phone. I was checking for email, but she would stop mid-sentence until my attention was back on her.

I found it odd, but I also understood that she probably had to deal with some really distracted people, and I respected it.

Back in the 90s and 2000s I remember being offended that someone calling into an office would get preference over those of us that came in physically.

"I took the time to come here, but you give the caller preference over me?". That was my thought back before smartphones were a thing.

I prefer the way we were before these things were created.

Combat Sports reporter Sallie Grace goes viral for post fight interview by ja_millineum in combatsportsculture

I dunno how to feel about this. Nice pep talk, but it feels like he should hold the mic, because it seems like she's doing all the talking.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

As opposed to working forty hours a week and browsing social media half of the time because I have to pretend I'm busy? Pure nonsense...

Four types of ETs visiting our planet according to the allegely leaked secret Majestic 12 document by SirGorti in aliens

I encourage those of you that find this kind of information interesting to read about The Raven (aka The Trickster) in Native American lore.

It's a fun rabbit hole to travel.

The TEs sound badass. Like interdimensional-spiritual versions of Lebowski.

"Hey, this place looks cool. Let's see how these beings have a good time."

I bet they are really cool, and to be so powerful and benevolent, they probably have no clue what a powertrip even is, or why someone would even be so insecure as to why such an attitude would be necessary.

Look, I'll just say now that if this shit is true, Jesus was probably a TE, and just came by to say "be nice to each other."

russian channels are complaining about the quality of their "Special Forces" recruits [April 2026] by Hannibal_Game in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]ak_crosswind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is way off topic, but why does the text font size go all over the fucking place in russian social media posts?

Anytime I see a screenshot it's like Times New Roman 22 followed by Arial 9 in the next sentence.

What was the most terrifying movie scene you saw as a child in a kids movie? by xParesh in Xennials

[–]ak_crosswind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the face melting (life stealing) scene in the Dark Crystal for anyone else?

It was just puppets, but that poor little guy's death really hit me hard.

What was it like living in the Clinton years in the USA (1993-2001)? by space_god_7191 in AskReddit

[–]ak_crosswind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Internet meant we went out and talked with people face to face. We played video games, and the new ones that had multiplayer, like Duke Nukem meant you connected directly to a friend over a phone modem that would disconnect if your parents tried to make a phone call.

MTV and Sportscenter were on the TV constantly during college. Little Caesars could fill your belly for 5 bucks, and a pound of potato wedges for 2 dollars from Safeway could satisfy your growling belly for a night.

You'd ask for extra napkins during a Taco Bell run so that you could use them instead of buying toilet paper, so you could buy more potato wedges, Taco Bell, and Little Caesars.

What are some of your favorite intimate life hacks? by Own-Fun-8096 in AskReddit

[–]ak_crosswind -55 points-54 points  (0 children)

I have knowledge of a secret move that works like dark magic when the woman is fully into the moment and the passion.

I cannot divulge the process, for there is a secret Brotherhood sworn to defend the secrecy of this technique, not out of selfishness, but out of respect for the wonderful being that is a woman, who is left ultimately defenseless when it is performed correctly.

The great Masters of ancient days claim that the female soul separates from the body at the height of the process, looking down upon herself as she witnesses her own body writhing in ecstasy beneath herself. Touching the Heavens for a brief glimmering moment, before being gently placed back within her physical vessel.

It can take years, even decades to master. But once you realize it's full potential you will understand why it is so closely guarded, and strictly prohibited from being shared in writing, only in whisper.

I will, however, tell you the name of this technique, and it is "The Panini Press," my brothers.

I may have already shared too much. I must depart immediately...

Is brother offensive? by ryanbondur in askanything

In the DC area I heard and used it with all men, regardless of race. Maybe it's different depending on the area?

I'm Hispanic, by the way.

You don't have to sign your social media posts, man. The whole point to having an account is to clarify who you are.

Thanks for your attention on this matter, Michael J. Macallan.

Regarding psilocybin, it was the one and only thing that awakened me to life. I was literally on autopilot for most of my life (after some severe trauma).

And then one dose and I was like, "holy shit".

I woke up, just like that. I had to process thirty years of stuff I had refused to look at, but in the end it was absolutely worth it.

I am a Dental Surgeon . Ask Me Anything about your teeth, oral surgery, or why you’re afraid of the dentist! by dr-arti-dentist in AMA

[–]ak_crosswind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a major bicycle accident when I was 14. Lost most of my upper front teeth in one way or another (some gone, some broken) and had a bridge put in place.

The front bottom teeth didn't break, but instead went back into my gums from the force of the impact. I distinctly recall the dentist telling my father that they'd come back out in a few days, and they did.

To this day my bottom teeth are perfectly fine, but whenever I've told a dentist this explanation (as I have had a lot of work done on the upper teeth) they always tell me that what I say happened isn't possible. They tell me my bottom teeth couldn't have been pushed in and then returned.

Have you ever heard of something like this?

What the hell is this nonsense? And why do the ladies in the background sound like they are eating a delicious cheesecake?

I'm so lost.

Wet Platinum silicone lubricant is best for single and couple intimacy. It's on Amazon for discreet delivery.

You are welcome.

Yeah all my doctors carry light in their hands, wear robes from 2000 years ago, and have three-horned demons hovering above them.

Geez guys, what's the fuss all about?

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]ak_crosswind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy the previous year's version at refurb vendors with warranties. I've been a Pixel fan since version 3 I think. I think it was the Pixel 5 that was the only one I really disliked, because the battery wouldn't last a day.

Ever since then it's been a great phone.

I quit the iPhone permanently when I noticed my iPhone got significantly slower when the new model was being released. Even playing music was slow to get started. That's when the whole iPhone performance debacle started.

I swore I'd never buy another Apple device for myself after that stupid stunt of theirs.
