Haha no. When I used to live in Russia, me and my sis would trip on heroic dosages and above every summer in the woods.

once I was tripping so hard at night in the woods I lost all connection to my body and was sucked into a strange, very brutal dimension filled with very earthy low vibrations, I think it's a level of existence of different nature spirits and stuff. At the exact moment, I entered that space (it felt like my consciousness was tumbling in a washing machine as well) - I instantly remembered that I visited this place before, like 7-8 years prior during a different trip. I also completely forgot that experience for some reason. It's like in that dimension no time has passed since that moment, like I picked up exactly when I left 7 years before. It's as if I have an unbroken linear timeline in that place whenever I get over there. It is the same, as in our dimension - it can be interrupted by trips and dreaming every night - but we still get this feeling of continuity. The same feeling of linearity and continuity can exist on multiple levels in completely different dimensions at the same time. Very interesting insight. I took about 8 gr of dried psilocybe cubensis. There was a lot if strange and interesting stuff during that trip, but this experience was the most intense

Actually, a lot of Russians opposed the war. When it started there were massive demonstrations. The big ones were in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. However, the state quickly introduced new laws - like the one punishing people for discreditation of the Russian military. So nowadays even saying publicly that you're against the war is a sure way to get a real jail sentence, like some people are getting 6-8 years for anti-war posts or posts about Russian war crimes in Bucha on Russian Facebook, Vkontakte.

Well, the Russian perspective and Kremlin propaganda are two different things. Russians are not so different from Americans or Europeans. check this channel out - it's full of short street interviews of ordinary Russians on different topics: https://www.youtube.com/@1420channel If you want to hear interesting insights into the current Russian political situation check Maxim Katz's channel - he is a Russian opposition politician. He used to live in Russia, but now he lives in Israel. Each of his videos has English subtitles, usually, he has good takes with some exceptions ( for example, his take on the Israel-Palestine conflict is pretty bad) https://www.youtube.com/@Max_Katz

Привет всем русскоязычным в этом треде. I think it doesn't matter, to be honest, which language you watch him in. Putin is akin to Trump - he is constantly lying.

I'm as sceptical of libertarians as they come. However, how did this whacko manage to bring down inflation so successfully? So, sometimes even libertarian policies can work?

Just do whatever you're feeling to lol. Try local cuisine, and talk to locals. In India, it's super easy. For example, I'm an introvert who enjoys keeping to myself - but in India, you will be forced to talk with very friendly locals like a lot. Indians are fun, curious and super-friendly people. Visit local temples, participate in customs and rituals, hike etc. Travels will bring you to situations you would never end up living in your country in one place. And growth happens when we're out of our comfort zone. When you travel, It will happen naturally by itself. Which cities are you planning on visiting in India and Thailand?

Dude, you don't need drugs for a good sleep. Just use earplugs. For me, it works like a charm when I have issues with surrounding noise. Also, 5 hours of sleep won't cut it. You need a minimum of 8 hours for a good rest. Please, don't underestimate the importance of good sleep.

With all due respect, but biological sex is also socially constructed. It's a made-up distinction with yeah some usefulness to it. But still, some "biological women" naturally produce for example a lot of testosterone. They can be a Navi seal and do any job a biological man do. Also, in the USSR women worked almost all the heavy jobs that men did, as Soviet ideology included feminism as well. And it worked. Women worked in construction for example and served even in Army. Like during WWII there were a lot of distinguished women with hundreds of confirmed kills. My grandma served as a soldier in WW2, so it isn't that simple

Joe Rogan just endorsed Trump. That's crazy. I thought he was smarter than that. Like he used to support Bernie for Christ's sake https://x.com/joeroganhq/status/1853626637600141740

Speaking from personal experience, I also found that solitude regarding psychedelics is the best option. Even the presence of just one sober person next to you makes your trip less deep and more shallow, as if his current level of consciousness keeping you more sober as well. Kastaneda btw wrote about similar stuff explaining how humans keep each other's level of consciousness relatively the same during everyday interactions. It's akin to diffusion but in a woo-woo kind of way

It's a deeply blue video and its full of right-wing tropes that have nothing to do with reality. Also, Poland is a fascinating country, and its homogeneity is a very recent development. Before WW2 it was a pretty diverse place - (According to a census from 1931: Polish - 69% of the population, Ukrainian - 15%, Jews - 8.5%, Belarusian - 4.70%, German -2.2%, Russian -0.25%, Lithuanian - 0.25%, Czech - 0.09%)

@Leo Gura You're being very vague. Are you planning on doing a video on it?

@Leo Gura It sounds like it's more akin to feeling than thinking. Is that so?

@Princess Arabia thanks
