Dude, it ain’t her fault you creeped her out, calm down

You shouldn't really be talking on the dance floor. The dance floor is for dancing. If you wanna talk you take her somewhere else in the club where it's quieter

Your mindset here should be "let her do what she wants, if she cheats then I know I can find another girl and it's no big deal" Ask yourself, if you truthfully thought you could find another girl within a month of breaking up with this girl, would you feel insecure about her going away on this trip? Probably not. You'd feel like it was her loss, or that it just wasn't meant to be.

IMO it's better to just go out and go for same night stuff. You get clean obvious rejections from girls rather than ambiguous or flaky texts which are very draining to mentally process day to day. I would bet flaky girls have probably caused male suicides in the past, it's that frustrating for guys to deal with. You're not alone. But you really just gotta be a man and learn to deal with it. Lower your investment in text convos if you have to have them. You shouldn't care how the convo goes. Just say whatever is in your head, don't spend ages thinking of what to say. If she's interested it will happen

Shamanic breathing just makes me hungry as a motherfucker. Like food has never tasted so good as it does after 30 mins of that shit. I have no idea if this is a unique to me experience or not but it's all I remember from doing it a bunch of times a few years back

My work bought me one of the new M1 Macbook Pros as my work laptop. I thought I'd have issues with compatibility since it's ARM but I haven't had a single issue. And it's super speedy, super quiet and super sleek. Plus, the screen is better than any screen on any other device I've ever owned in my life But it's easy to be a fan when you aren't footing the bill of a Macbook

It's not gonna actually poison you in hallucinogenic doses, it's just gonna be a miserable time. It feels like you're being poisoned. You can't do spiritual work if you're too busy vomiting and feeling pain in your body. I mean they're illegal pretty much everywhere, but most countries won't give you in much trouble for having a personal dose. Maybe your country is different, though. In my country (UK) it'll just get confiscated. And your chance of getting caught is really really small if you aren't dumb about it.

When it comes to psychedelics, you are honestly better doing your own research for questions like these rather than relying on people here. But I will answer nonetheless: Yes, you can eat the whole seeds themselves but it will make you quite sick. They also taste awful. You can also grind up the seeds, soak the powder in lime juice for a few hours, mixing every 20 mins, then strain the liquid to remove the seed powder. Then mix the remaining liquid with some orange juice or something and drink it. This is a very basic extraction of the LSA (the active compound, similar to LSD but less potent) that removes some of the stuff the makes you nauseous. I mean, it won't hurt you unless you take a crazy high dose, but it will make you more nauseous than most other traditional psychedelics. I was never able to take them without being sick. Depends on the dosage. If you take enough then yea, but the more you take the higher the body load and the more sick you will feel. But to get a trip on the same level as a tab of acid you'd need to take a lot. Can't speak for Leo, but personally it was a lot of effort for a shitty trip that made me very nauseous. The only benefit is that they are legal-ish and easy to order online. You'd be better off just finding some traditional psychedelics. Is there a reason you can't do that?

It would actually be dangerous for Leo to offer advice on mental health issues when it is not something he specialises in.

I did feel good when I took a microdose of LSD and went out, felt super aware and alert. But I notice that after heavier trips, I tend to experience heightened social anxiety if anything so yea, I think a full dose in a club would be a bad idea. I'm going to a techno/trance festival in October and my plan is to get a DMT vape pen set up for that. Should be dope.

It's something I've been curious about. I am not talking about a large dose, more of a microdose or something like 10-40µg. Obviously more than that would be quite silly in a club environment. Would you recommend it? Anyone got any experiences? Thanks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura#Psychoactive_use Read this. Basically, it has spiritual use if you're an indigenous tribe with extensive experience in safe preparation and consumption. Otherwise, it should remain a pretty flower in your garden Go find yourself some acid

It made me feel like I was hungover for days when I tried it. Plus it's disgusting to eat in the first place. Gave me mild psychedelic headspace for a bit but no visuals or anything close to that. I also tried Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds which have the same active compound, they made me super sick but did actually have reasonable-ish psychedelic effects. Nothing comparing to traditional psychedelics but it was something at least.

Just a friendly reminder that if you go out to bars/clubs, be careful with your belongings On Saturday night some fucker pulled my bank card out of my pocket and spent £80 on it the next day, lol. Bank will refund it so no big deal really, but could have been worse if I was carrying cash, or if it was my phone. Funnily, the guy used the card 5 times in the same shop on the same day, and they recognised him when I asked about it. Was an old dude with a Russian accent apparently. Quite funny in some ways

Yea it’s something I’ve never really worried about before now but you gotta be careful

Lmao I recently got asked to fix one of my family members’ Amazon tablets and the thing had fucking ads on the lock screen as well I think it’s just boomers who dgaf about it. I used to be super anti-apple but the fact that they’d never ever do something like that gets my respect. I’d rather pay up front to avoid it

I saw tons of them Maybe it’s a computing science thing but we had a fuck ton of students who couldn’t give two fucks about anything but tech and being right all the time

I mean the man’s gotta keep coming up w shit to keep himself relevant and in public view. If he wants to maintain his current viewership and attention he’s gonna have to keep saying weird shit that gets attention

“Women don’t want good looks, they want a man” Posted in some thread a while back. Hardly deep but represents me at the stage of life I am in right now

I had a friend who told me he’d tried everything. What he meant was he tried everything until he had one or two negative experiences and then gave up with that approach, deciding that it didn’t work. I remember you saying that a girl was the thing you wanted most in life. Fucking do everything you can to get that. What have you got to lose at this point?

Second time yes. It was Manjaro. Was rolling-release which was absolutely god awful as a developer who needs specific older versions of software for individual projects. But I've also had a KDE Neon brick itself after about a year, and also Kubuntu as well. Both are Ubuntu (so Debian) based. The UI on Windows since Win 7 has just been a mashup of absolute garbage. Make up your mind whether I'm using a tablet or a PC please And please, for the love of god, do not serve me ads in the start menu or the lock screen. That's another criminal thing Windows does.

I was actually surprised how often I've greek god looking guys get rejected in clubs. I can think of three particular instances where I've watched tall, jacked, handsome dudes walking around from girl to girl in clubs being rejected over and over. They did eventually find girls, and no doubt their looks played a part, but they were conventionally extremely attractive yet still faced much more rejection than I expected they would If all women selected for looks as strongly as men, we would have all died out thousands of years ago. I rememeber a good Leo quote: "Women don't want looks, women want a man" Which is not to say women don't care about looks at all, but they don't only care about looks as much as men do.

I really like this phrasing, nicely said

It's a nightmare to reliably setup any kind of games on Linux. It requires sooooo much micromanagement to keep all of your games working, especially newer titles or games that update frequently. I agree with everything in regards to Windows, when I played a lot of games I dual-booted Windows and Linux. Linux for work/programming and Windows for games. That worked quite nicely. But the Linux distro was just totally borked after 6 months. MacOS is honestly pretty customizable if you really want it to be. But for the most part it doesn't really need any customisation and that's what I like. I used to enjoy tinkering with my tech but now I just want it to not fucking break or require me to pay too much attention to maintaining it. MacOS is pretty good for that The only thing I really despised was the lack of great support for non-Apple peripherals, but I installed one bit of software that fixed it all.
