@PurpleTree, what's important is how the facts or "facts" are presented to the people. Christians tend to do and learn from propaganda because that's what they are familiar with. A person can know one fact about something while getting brainwashed about the rest.

Couldn't agree more about self-hating Christians. Those people will concoct a conspiracy theory out of thin air to justify their hate towards progress. They are more prevalent where I live. For them, everything is about the "degeneration" of the West. My brain hurts when listening to them.

With AI, a person can write rather simple programs. I'm using Claude AI to write a program in Python to automate part of my job so that I can focus less on repetitive stuff. Also, I'm refreshing my knowledge of Python.

@Scholar, there are a portion of people that think those Western NGOs are the problem. They want some Russian NGOs to feel safe. I have never seen a Russian-backed NGO that wasn't doing propaganda. But no, those Western NGOs are there to corrupt the youth and brainwash them with Western values!

Interestingly, those people have NOTHING to loose.

People in the sphere of Russian influence are becoming tired. That's a VERY important thing, regardless of what Putin feels. Of course, an abused child would want to have less abusive parents. But some people complain seeing the child not wanting to stay with the same parents.

@Leo Gura, so when a woman wants to pursue different things in life, she is actually BS-ing and wasting her time and instead should focus on having children and raising them?

Please give your recommendations on which center is worth going to (not only in the USA) and what type of psychedelic is worth doing at those centers. I know they are expensive, but, for now, I would rather pay more (but not too much 😅) and do it safely than be reckless and get caught. Your advice and recommendations would be much appreciated.

@Thought Art, it's great! Did you watch all of the seasons?

Well, if money isn't too much of a problem, then you can show your secret self little by little if you want them to accept you while financially supporting them. If they don't accept you, then it's their problem. You are the one who is financially supporting them. I thought that you were the one who was under your family's control. If you know that they'll be rejecting you and you still want to help them, then you don't have to open up, and maybe you can give BS justifications for your behavior change. But your situation will become more complicated. In any case, your family doesn't need to know everything about you.

😁 Well, if someone knows a legal way to openly acquire RC for personal use without worrying about the quantity, I'm all ears.

☝️is the actual solution. Meanwhile, don't open yourself up to your family. Keeping secrets can save your life, as your parents might not view your open-mindedness positively, especially when they are religious. Knowledge is power. Sometimes you have to or will want to keep secrets for your entire life.

Finally Ryan is back! I don't know how he does it, but the way he explains it piques my curiosity, prompts me to listen carefully, and encourages me to think!

Hey y'all. How do you deal with the fact that you are knowingly committing a crime when you buy psychedelics? Don't you see yourself as a criminal? If not, why? Why not be honest about it while doing so?

Bi.

Interesting. I wonder what happens in the brain that makes some people feel that way when taking psychedelics. I feel like that often, and I haven't taken psychedelics yet.

They're blindly compassionate by ignoring some contexts. I can't. I didn't say that they were fighting. They surely didn't go to say thanks to Putin for visiting NK.

@Princess Arabia, Well, as you see, it depends on how the advice giver and the receiver interpret the other. What you are saying is when they are on the same page. For me, it's more important to not be needlessly verbally violent than to ignore someone. The former is actually rude. If someone is trying to help and is clueless, saying "thank you" for trying is not hard, but you don't owe them to say it to them in the first place.

No, they don't have to respond, because the advice could be misinterpreted, misleading, false, stupid, etc. Why should we dishonestly say "thank you" when we can avoid it? Maybe in professional or social settings we often have to act this way, but this is a forum where we don't have to play those games.

Instead of receiving a response that engages in whataboutism, I would prefer to have my responses ignored. Not responding does not mean he or she is always ignoring you. It could be the case that they are thinking what you said, saying "thank you" would seem cheap, or it is simply a way to end the conversation with someone. A person who wants to help someone, by default, cares about helping them first. Also, we are not working in a corporation to send a "thank you" every time someone responds to us. I think if a person actually receives value from someone, he or she would want to reply or would at least think about replying. However, they don't have to reply, as the helper has already done his or her job.

The following documentaries show what happens in the world of drugs—how they move around, get distributed, and are used—through firsthand accounts and investigative reporting. They offer a realistic look at the drug trade, covering a wide range of different substances and the networks that surround them.

In abstract terms, yes. 🙂 However, I was speaking from a practical perspective.

@Something Funny, I was more talking about working on personal or job-related projects. That could be the case for you. Having one monitor still doesn't mean you will be doing fewer tasks. Your focus will only be on one monitor, which could complicate things and make you do even more tasks to achieve the same result. Using multiple monitors can streamline your workflow because you can display different windows simultaneously across screens, allowing you to work on them without constantly switching between overlapping windows. You can also move your mouse seamlessly from one monitor to another. Perhaps you find it more distracting and tiring to shift your eyes between different monitors.

If you're doing that online, there are ways to prevent it.
