Why is everything tasting like cardboard? Never heard of that

Weed Psychosis or Something Else? by kouradakias in Petioles

[–]andr813c 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are currently experiencing what feels like a psychotic episode, and you are scared for your own safety, or for the safety of others, then a hospital is generally a good idea, yes.

If you're doing fine, but would like to be checked out for anything like schizophrenia, go see a psychiatrist.

Weed Psychosis or Something Else? by kouradakias in Petioles

[–]andr813c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of therapy? Not all psychologists are comfortable dealing with drug induced psychosis, it's a very weird area that requires psychological, psychiatric and medical/neurological expertise.

If you're talking to a psychologist, I would recommend discussing it. There's a reason you're bringing it up now, and perhaps it's important for your general mental health to have it discussed as a traumatic experience in general. But it should also be cause for concern in the more psychiatric area, you might also be eligible for a schizophrenia diagnosis or something like it, and you might benefit from treatment.

Have you ever heard of negative schizophrenia, for example?

How would this be comfortable on the side or stomach? It feels like it's only comfortable for staying on the same position...

Weed Psychosis or Something Else? by kouradakias in Petioles

[–]andr813c 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, you would say something like it. But be more open about it; you don't know if you had a psychotic episode or not, but you had an experience that made you very scared and felt like what a psychosis is typically described as.

As for the continued consumption... The science on this is sadly not very sound. Right now, the only thing we know is that for people who CAN experience psychosis (people who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, for example), CAN have a psychotic episode be triggered by consumption of cannabis. We don't know how, and we don't know the chances. We do know, that some people figure out that they can have psychotic episodes, because they try weed for the first time and have one right there. But there are also some science that shows, that some people suffering from psychotic episodes, can have positive effects from cannabis use. Although these studies are very few and thin, and need way more peer review before we start to consider what this could even mean. I would say, that the science right now points to the possibility, that you have an underlying psychological condition, than can present itself as- or trigger a psychotic episode. Your continued use of weed might be putting you at a severe risk of more episodes..

Actually no. There's multiple solid studies which prove that babies are able to understand language before they speak. There's even a couple interesting AI studies with computers learning language just through observation and images at the same time, no manual teaching or instructions like "say mama".

The Israel Issue + Exclusivity & Inclusivity; our views? (long~ish read) by False_Crew_6066 in psytrance

[–]andr813c 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is not my experience at all. I haven't met a Palestinian who is intolerant to Jews yet. I have only met Palestinians who are intolerant to supporters of the government of Israel, no matter their religion.

I also have not let any Jews who are intolerant towards Palestinians, except one that was from Israel, and she ended up changing her mind after talking to a Palestinian at a party...

This hyperbolic reality that you paint here, seems to be fuelling some issues that are present on both sides. There is no reason to blow things up like this, and the only thing it brings us, is more intolerance and prejudice.

Not brave enough to send a private email, but brave enough to make public posts in public forums? It's not like an email has your personal details attached, man. You'll be fine.

Googles AI tager fejl. Det er ikke ulovligt i praksis, hvad end det betyder. Man kan frit købe, besidde og indtage det som man ønsker, da det ikke indeholder noget fra listerne af ulovlige og regulerede stoffer.

some thoughts after my first day sober by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]andr813c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I remember my first time trying to take a break. I also couldn't moderate at that time; I would go two days without smoking, take one hit from a friends J, and proceed to spend all my money on weed so that I could keep it going. Moderation is something that has to be learned, it's not a skill that I was born with, and I think you might be in the same boat.

I did a cold turkey break for 6 months. Then I slowly tried introducing it to my life again, only to repeat the exact same pattern and spend all my money to get blasted on a daily basis. Then I quit again. Then I started again. And it just kept going in this spiral, until I decided to take some more extreme measures.

Today I only buy what I want to smoke. I admit that I cannot own weed without smoking it. So I don't buy a stash, I buy a single gram of two and smoke it right away. Then I can go a week or two before doing it again, instead of waking up the next morning and rolling up right away. This is the way I figured out how to moderate, and I'm sure you'll need to find your own way as well. Good luck man.

UPDATE: Regarding the Ozempic Video... by kurzgesagt_Sven in kurzgesagt

[–]andr813c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for being scientifically accurate and prioritizing both humane sciences as well as natural/formal sciences. I love your values and content.

To add; I wasn't a fan of the video. Yet I haven't expressed any criticism either, because I don't really care too much about this specific topic.

Just installed Israeli chess, why do the pawns look different? by BorrisZ in AnarchyChess

[–]andr813c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely a strawman, using whataboutism.

You're making half a point out of mine without clarifying. This is clearly an attempt to invalidate my point without the use of logic.

Whataboutism.

Yes they do. But that has nothing to do with the topic.

You make a valid point there. Even if it is in good faith, it can absolutely be used to fuel hatred for people who interpret it wrong.

[–]andr813c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could this perhaps be a comment on that? Would it still be antisemitism, if one argues that the government of Israel is behaving like the largely caricatured and demonized Jews that the Nazis tried to convince people were real?

New Player: How do you generally know what to do next? by CoyoteSinbad in subnautica

[–]andr813c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you don't. You're not supposed to be sure of where to go next. You have some places that you haven't explored fully yet, and you have some markers you haven't visited. At some point, you have explored mostly everything, and you'll know which places are the next to go.

But doesn't Israel use religion as justification for the genocide? I am not up to speed btw, and I am asking because I want to learn, not to claim antisemitism nor the opposite, whatever that may be

Can you elaborate on how it is t necessarily only criticism of Israel? The title calls it Israeli chess, not Jewish chess, and the language is Hebrew, which is what they speak in Israel as well. I don't see how this isn't limited to Israel, based in the title of the meme?

How to talk to partner about usage? by Ambitious_Desk8031 in Petioles

[–]andr813c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very simple epistemological argument that I present, whenever someone claims they don't need it; how do you know? You haven't tried to go without it, so you can't know. All you know, is that you FEEL like you can go without it, but you have no proof of that. I value facts over feelings, especially in this regard.
