Thanks for the question. So Lemmy does support downvotes but I've decided to disable them on this instance. The reason is just that I don't like seeing downvotes and I don't really see the point in them. I think rule-breaking content should be reported and outside of that what people usually do is use downvotes to signal that they disagree with someone. I saw a good discussion on this elsewhere on Lemmy not that long ago but for now I'd rather keep them disabled unless there is a really good reason.
Hey everyone. Hope everyone is having a good day and feeling positive about yourself!
I wanted to open a discussion about expectations that I (and many others maybe as well) set about results or experiences we're "supposed" to have from mushrooms and other psychedelics. I tend to trip a few times a year as a sort of therapy. I find that it helps me balance out my mood and improve my confidence significantly for a few months after a trip.
One of the things I still tend to struggle with when going in to a new trip is trying to temper my expectations for it. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself that this is going to work (or that it has to work) to help me stay in good health. I think this is why I try to downplay the effects for myself when I can so there is less pressure for the trip itself. Since I feel like additional stress and pressure will negatively affect the trip.
Does anyone else experience anything similar to this? How do you deal with it?
On another note, I find when I'm coming into a trip one of the first thoughts I always have is "Is this what its supposed to feel like"? Then I go down the rabbit hole of "What is 'supposed to' mean, anyway? Who is the one behind this 'supposed to'?" It is very strange but also predictable for me now. Like my mind always happens to go there first. Anyway, thought I would share. Happy Friday!
Hey OP, a lot of people are suggesting psilocybin or other psychedelics. If you're interested you can ask questions about that in the !magic@wizanons.dev community. I moderate it but there are psychonauts there that know about this stuff who are friendly and helpful.
100% agree with this. Ever since getting into shrooms the world has become so much more alive and I feel far better about life in general. I run a community for magic and mysticism if anyone is interested called !magic@wizanons.dev which focuses on this type of discussion. Anyone is welcome to join the discussion or ask questions.
I agree. Sometimes I like the shorter, more intense, trips. 6 or so hours on mushrooms feels like a long time. Even after that time it takes a while to really come back down to a more normal level. It's all about head space though, I can appreciate long trips too.
For anyone looking for 1TB - 2TB drives I'd recommend the Micron 2400 2TB SSD: https://www.newegg.com/micron-2tb-2400-series/p/0D9-0022-000N1?Item=0D9-0022-000N1
It also has low power like the corsair and it is at a cheap price at $162.
I've had great experiences with it so far. Runs great.
New research uncovers the potential of three specific psychedelic drugs – MDMA, psilocybin and ketamine – in treating mental health conditions ranging from depression to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Very interesting! Thanks for running the survey and sharing the results.
See this is actually the crazy part to me. Not making more than one game at a time. Why didn't they just give these IPs to another team, or have some employees switch gears onto this project, or anything else they could have done to get some parallelism going on here.
Yeah, I don't like the taste either. It's definitely hard to get down but once it is it's blast off. The lemon juice pre-disgests it and makes it faster too. I'm not totally sure I'd recommend that method but it was an interesting experience.
Typically it is just unnecessary. And believe it or not VPNs will slow you down too.
The key is set and setting. What that means is being in a good place mentally to experience the trip (mindset) as well as being in the proper setting that is very comfortable, clean, and safe. Also having a sitter is a good idea as long as you're comfortable with them.
Be somewhere where you will feel safe and make sure you don't have anything that needs doing that day. No plans for something you need to rush too, etc. For a beginner the other comments are pretty good advice, start with a low dose and enjoy it. That means less than 2.5g (dried).
Psychonaughts wiki also has a good page on this: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushrooms#Dosage_and_preparation
It was a heroic dose of cubes. I think that time it may have been dissolved in a lemon/tea mix as well.
Glad to hear it! I just felt an opportunity to share knowledge of what I was working with recently since qBittorrent added support for it. If you're interested in staying connected you can subscribe to one of the communities on my lemmy instance, wizanons.dev. !general@wizanons.dev and !magic@wizanons.dev Keep in mind we're very small still but I like keeping up with people and being friendly : )
Yeh I had tried torrenting on Tor a LONG time ago but people made it clear to not do that on Tor for one reason or another. But on i2p, the devs made a torrent client directly into the software. It was one of their features and something they want people to use.
That is correct. For geoblocked content only available in certain regions, a VPN is still useful. However, much of that content can be obtained through other methods. You could download it and use Plex/Jellyfin to stream it to Roku or Firestick.
Honestly that is fine. Just consider this to be one of the times you hear about I2P. I also don't typically start paying much attention to something unless I've heard it like 3 or more times.
So it looks like setup on ubuntu should be pretty straightforward. Follow these steps to install the java client as a package: https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian
Then under their Post-install work on the bottom of that page follow this:
as a service that automatically runs when your system boots, even before logging in. The service can be enabled with "dpkg-reconfigure i2p" as root or using sudo. This is the recommended means of operation.
That will cause i2p to automatically run at startup. You can use the other methods there if you don't want that behavior. Lastly, you'll need to configure a browser to use i2p. https://geti2p.net/en/about/browser-config
Firefox is a good one to use for it but you can use librewolf or another one.
And I think that's it as far as setup for ubuntu. Let me know if you have more questions : )
I was interested in trying NixOS before after many years of Linux experience but I couldn't understand what advantages it had over my current setup. It just mostly seemed more complicated than it needed to be for little to no gain.
The reproducibility aspect of it can be achieved on other Linux platforms or in other environments so it wasn't a big draw for me. I already have backups too. Making it easily deployable seems like the same use case as for instance, docker, which is available everywhere already.
I love projects like this though so I fully support it!
This sounds like a great idea but I'm wondering if this is best to go into the UI of an app, for instance. Making the lists of multi-subreddits easily sharable would be a big plus, that way it isn't just one person who controls who is allowed into the multi-subreddit.
After the Mullvad fiasco I decided to stop using VPNs all together, since port forwarding is always going to be a problem on all of them, if you read the reasons why Mullvad had to shut down that service.
There is a better way using i2p which conceals your IP and makes it impossible for anyone to know what or if you're downloading at all! No DMCA notices, no problem.
I wrote this small guide to another comment and figured I'd share it in its own post since I'm seeing so many people ask for VPN recommendations.
So there are 2 main implementations of i2p. First is the main Dev’s Java client here https://geti2p.net/en/download
The other is i2pd, which is C++.
I use the Java one personally but both would work. Someone posted back on reddit a guide on /r/i2p for qbittorrent, which is what I use now for this too. The guide was shared as a public torrent you can download with this info hash: 3f1d51095f9b116739172c1bced149acf2b10692
Use that hash with any of the various public trackers and you should be able to download that guide.
But if you just want a basic setup, that Java client comes with i2psnark, which is a Bittorrent client already setup.
The only other thing you want to do is go and search the biggest tracker for stuff, which is called PaTracker, Postman’s tracker. http://tracker2.postman.i2p, only accessible from i2p itself, which you’ll need to have setup and running first to view.
This tracker needs more seeders and uploaders in general, and by improving those things service for everyone is better. So the more the merrier.
Thanks! Feel free to ask any questions, there also might be other people who use i2p now for torrenting. I'm sure they'll help too.
The state will follow Oregon and Colorado if the bill becomes law. But its medicalized model is different, and has serious limitations.
Behavioural electrophysiological and transcriptomic studies in mice show that psychedelic drugs reopen the social reward learning critical period and suggest that this involves reorganization of the extracellular matrix.
>Psychedelics are a broad class of drugs defined by their ability to induce an altered state of consciousness. These drugs have been used for millennia in both spiritual and medicinal contexts, and a number of recent clinical successes have spurred a renewed interest in developing psychedelic therapies. Nevertheless, a unifying mechanism that can account for these shared phenomenological and therapeutic properties remains unknown. Here we demonstrate in mice that the ability to reopen the social reward learning critical period is a shared property across psychedelic drugs. Notably, the time course of critical period reopening is proportional to the duration of acute subjective effects reported in humans. Furthermore, the ability to reinstate social reward learning in adulthood is paralleled by metaplastic restoration of oxytocin-mediated long-term depression in the nucleus accumbens. Finally, identification of differentially expressed genes in the ‘open state’ versus the ‘closed state’ provides evidence that reorganization of the extracellular matrix is a common downstream mechanism underlying psychedelic drug-mediated critical period reopening. Together these results have important implications for the implementation of psychedelics in clinical practice, as well as the design of novel compounds for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disease.

> Hey :) I'm writing this comment using "Jebora for lemmy" is there other apps for mobile browsing? which one would you recommend? (Android)
It was one of the wildest experiences I've ever gone through in my life. I didn't just lose myself, but I became other people. I completely believed I was someone else with their memories, etc. Thinking back on it, It was incredible and a little scary at the same time.
What experiences have you had?
We're seeing psychedelics become more and more popular amongst psychologists and other professionals for treatment of depression and anxiety specifically under supervision in many states.
