LSD doesn't reach the elves, you need DMT.

Smoking DMT at the peak of an LSD trip - Terence McKenna

That's actually just a fun anecdote of doing both but here's comparison

Terence mckenna - Comparison of DMT To Psilocybin And LSD, A Secret Which Keeps It Self

Because I strongly feel they're using "elves" in pretty much the exact same context that McKenna uses it.

How do you perceive any charisma from that chinless baldy? :D

(edit not to diss anyone both can be attractive and looks are just looks, but on him, no)

This headline isnt to be read as "autism can be cured" but that for this one instance of neuropsychiatric illness, what helped was essentially just a folic acid supplement. Not actually, but essentially.

Most autistic kids probably don't have the exact same condition and thus wouldn't necessarily (or even probably) be helped by the drug.

Trump's closest ally (or "dom" if you will) is Vladimir Putin.

And he would stand to gain from any damage to US and to US-Canada relations. If US actually starts fighting and fucking up everything, it takes the heat off Russia and all US aid getting canceled will not be good for Europe and especially Ukraine. But also so many other places around the world from USaid.

It does not make sense.

Uh... are you expecting them to?

Because language isn't completely arbitrary, but it is weird.

Sounds like he didn't respect women much.

Insecure men, annoying and dangerous, usually very sexist and overall disrespectful as well.

I mean I don't know him must have had some redeeming qualities once. Or not. Infatuation is just such a powerful drug that we literally don't see bad sides in people we fall for.

I can feel your frustration about that, because you had a good reason and there was no reasoning with him. So how do you reason with someone unreasonable? We don't, unfortunately.

It may have been brewing a long time and this just broke the camel's back who knows.

So it doesn't seem that weird to me, because I've only heard this bit.

Okay reading on maybe some of those things should've been the trigger for leaving, but hindsight is always 2020. I can try imagining being in an abusive relationship, but my imagination isn't perfect. I've seen enough drama to know how hard it can be though. Or at least enough to imagine I can understand.

Yeah I haven't had a long term relationship in a long time, basically just one multiyear long one, then some months long ones and lots of casual nights. My first long term relationship and then I found out my then best friend (who had been my best friend since birth) and girlfriend had had sex and that she had been fucking around quite a lot and it just kinda broke it.

I've had infatuations a few times after that, but the previous one was like 10 years ago. So I don't much hold hope either, but I do still have hope that my life situation will change and I'll manage to fall for someone who falls for me as well. I would sort of like to have children but I don't want to be too old to play with them. But I always delude myself I'll make it big and become a celebrity and then have kids at 70, idk.

Yeah Ambien can be weird yeah. One should take them when one actually goes to bed, I think, but I often end up taking half and then waiting for it to come on a bit because I'm won't go to bed otherwise. But then sometimes, you'll take the next one and still "oh, I'll just finish this episode real quick" and before you know it you've done 4 and you're not really sleepy anymore.

Lots of drug effects rely on a biological biphasic response, meaning that a small dose of a substance might make you sleepy whereas a lot will perk you up. Whereas things like alcohol and cannabis, they first perk you up and give energy, but if you do a big dose, you'll get sedated.

But yeah it's the only actually functioning sleep med for me and I've tried a ton of different meds. Well, not the only functioning one, but the only functioning one which doesn't debilitate me for 48 hours or make my mouth taste like cat piss for the next day. Anytime I end up taking a few too many I start planning on cleaning and doing all sorts of shit. Which isn't that good at like 5-6am in an apartment building.

My friend decoupaged her dishwasher with subway maps on Ambien one night.

But like... on the outside, right? (I only ask because I know the spirit of the substance, lol.)

Can definitely make you do weird shit, as this story featuring Channing Tatum shows

Issues remain

This process is still not without problems. As the study’s authors acknowledge, the mice created by this process are not fertile, and can only be reproduced through cloning.

Additionally, more than half of the mice born to two fathers either do not survive, die young, fail to mature properly, or fail to reach adulthood.

In a previous study from 2018, the same research team had shown that mice born to two mothers were fertile and survived longer than those born to two fathers, all of whom died shortly after birth. In their new study, published last month, the results have improved, though only partially.

As I suspected, XY + XY is way worse than XX + XX. Former isn't even fertile. Neither really work, but it's promising research.

Science marches forwards.

tldr Same-sex moms might be able to have children sooner than same-sex dads.

A difference in views. (www.youtube.com)

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.

And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."

French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."

Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."

"It's better to be alone than in bad company."

A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
