Why would I put in the extra effort? How much time have I saved by not adding in that extra line in my 40+years of life?
How much more will I save in the next 40+ (less, of course, since computers will be the main source of 7s, whereas most of my 7s in the first 40 were in my youth before computers were commonplace, and I hope I don’t live that fucking long)?
I think the argument is that if you write a 1 with a line at the bottom it is easy to confuse it with a sloppily written 7, whose bar moved down a bit.
Which invalidates the argument of the user above. (If not inverse it - a lot more numbers in life start with a 1 than with a 7)
Me neither, but I also don’t read a lot of handwriting from other parts of the world. But I have heard that some places teach the 1 with a horizontal bar and the 7 without one.
Unless you have an actual need to write a lot of 7s in a row and then rush off and actually do something you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to accomplish had you omitted them, you can’t claim that as usefully saved time. The tiny fractions of time by themselves aren’t enough to do anything on their own therefore the total amount of things you have accomplished in your life would be the same whether you added the lines or not.
I’ve been listening to music from the 60s almost exclusively on spotify this year. The algorithm is hell bent on me listening to the band “The Smoke”. I really don’t think a one hit wonder band that broke up in 1976 would be paying to have their music pushed so hard like that.
mid-30s in the 15th century? … isn’t that the equivalent of saying mid 70s in the 2020s?
mid-30s in the 15th century meant that you were basically almost dead with some sort of physical health problem, you got a scratch and died of infection or you just starved to death from malnutrition.
Really should happen to be honest, paired with a mandatory education class and requirement of a license. You already need a license to buy other substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, prescription medication, etc.
Sure but the license isn’t to purchase those products. There is no licensing for them even though you typically use your license to prove your age. You can also use a passport or military ID or a standard state ID that looks exactly like a license but requires no test. A liquor license is to sell, not purchase. And for the record, I like your ideas but using something like a medical card for purchasing weed would have been a better example.
I agree with the medical card as well, but I wouldn’t have any issues with it being done recreationally, I just think that if it is done recreationally it should still have a license associated with it.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvotes. An education class sounds like a good idea. Using psychedelics/dissociatives can be dangerous for first-timers. Better they be educated about the things they might experience on their first trip.
I don’t think doctors should be building that curriculum either. I think people with knowledge of psychedelics should be building it. Trip sitters from Burning Man, shamans, deadheads, etc
It’s because illegal substances have a negative connotation of them. It’s ironic because they are not only physically safer than legal substances, but they are also both cheaper and have higher recreational value than them.
Also, if the masses started doing psychedelics, it would be the downfall of capitalism as everyone begins to realize that the world’s governments and corporations are full of shit. Psychedelics really are the metaphorical third eye opener they are touted to be.
I dunno. One bad thought can ruin the whole trip. I will agree, however, that psychedelics could have value in psychology. Some people need a good ego death.
Theoretically yes, but that’s only if you dwell on it the entire time. Removing attention from the thought or changing the immediate environment can help if not negate it entirely.
I didn’t say anything about not working, though I don’t really recommend doing any substances at all if you are not in a decent enough financial situation.
Ideally a first timer would microdose natural psilocybin which IMHO poses virtually no danger long term physically or psychologically. A good method is to mix a little bit in with honey and have a spoonful. Its just enough to see if its something you are potentially into and want to explore more of. Harder stuff like LSD and DMT I can see needing classes or a lisence dont feel the same way about shrooms
