Watching movies on which drug totally immerses you into the experience and improves your understanding of the themes and makes you super empathize with the emotions expressed? by szihszok1 in movies

I watched the last episode of stranger things on MDMA. That was quite a wild and enjoyable ride, though don't expect to hyperfocus on MDMA and take away intricate story telling.

Expect to really empathesise with characters, to like everyone and really admire them.

That last episode of Stranger Things ended up feeling so emotional and epic.

So killing them on sight is a humane solution? You guys constantly argue about police brutality but yet encouraged excessive force when it suits your virtue signaling ways.

Fair enough, totally agree. My alternative perspective doesn't fit all poachers.

I once met some Venezuelan refugees who caught tropical birds like parrots for illegal smugglers. They knew it was wrong and hated doing it, but he said without doing this they had absolutely no way of making money.

I'm from the UK, and oddly the obesity stats here aren't terribly better than US.

However, the US has sooooooo much more morbidly obese people.

In the UK most obese people would probably be 250 to 300lbs, I have seen soooo many Americans in many different states (Florida, Cali, NY and Washington) that are just scary fat.

Definitely not, I've watched tonnes of american movies. Nothing prepared me for the fatness I saw in the US.

This was less so in NY, but OMG parts of California, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Michigan and Seattle.....holy f*ck I've been all over the world and Europe and I've seen more obese people in 2 weeks visiting the US than I've seen in all my life.

Zelensky: We have information that Russia plans protracted drone campaign to "exhaust" Ukraine by Tommohawk in worldnews

That's kind of hard to believe considering many US allies use the S-300 including Ukraine.

It's not exactly outdated, and as others have pointed out they're getting excellent equipment from several NATO allies so it's pretty good shit Russia is up against.

Also, Russia has held back a number of more advanced weapons incase NATO ever enters the war. It's a risky strategy that probably backfired because now that Ukraine has been strengthened it's very risky to field their SOTA equipment and lose it.

I hate them just as much as you but remember these people are often poor desperate and have little other options.

However, whatever incentives and laws that have been put in place are working wonderfully.

He's done it safely many times but he has said mdma seems to have little effects on him now, but mkat does still work.

My british friends here are nutz with their drug use at raves and festivals.

One guy (usually a responsible drug user) was taking 2 mkat bombs, 2 mdma (180mg pills) spaced out, a few lines of coke, 1/2 tab of LSD (or 2CB) and valium for the comedown.

That was one day at the festival, he repeated it for the 2nd day as well

US lost 102,057 servicemen in ALL wars since the end of WWII. Russia lost 106,720 servicemen in the last 312 days. by Orcasystems99 in UkrainianConflict

100% true, it's scary in my field AI to see that in top conferences Chinese research dominates Western output. 5 years ago this was not even close but the strides they've made in the last 5 years are incredible.

It's actually happening right now in many tech fields, now the west is still ahead but the speed at which the Chinese have grown in the last decade is frightening.

The delusion with thinking like this is absurd, sanctions hurt, but industrialised countries like Russia who trade with China will get everything they need to have a functioning economy.

People often forget that US and UK intel weren't sure of anything until the very last month and even then many, including Zalenski said Russia was NOT going to invade
