Lol mike wazowski in the corner

I get lazy bc irl I get to just rely on my authority instead of actually explaining myself lol

There’s a broad push in the therapeutic psychedelic community to use the term “challenging” instead of “bad” because semantics and framing matter. I know it can be annoying, but some words carry an unfortunate connotation that’s best subverted by using a different word altogether.

I do take issue with the words “bad” and “good” in general, but I wouldn’t say that there are no experiences which can be described as bad. (I’m also an amoralist and believe nothing is inherently “bad,” so at least I’m consistent, however unpopular)

I recommend Frankl because I realize this sounds inherently invalidating, but if anyone is allowed to say it, it’s a holocaust survivor. I’d recommend “Man’s Search for Meaning”, which he wrote shortly after being liberated from a concentration camp.

Kind of, yeah. If you think this is dumb (beyond your reductionist take, I mean), I’d genuinely recommend you read Viktor Frankl (I ignore the religious stuff tho, personally, tbc)

It’s a specifically important distinction to make for psychedelics though. If you go into it thinking bad trips are real, you’re more likely to have a challenging trip, and you’re more likely to have a defeatist attitude afterward creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Especially when using psychedelics therapeutically, it’s extremely beneficial to go into it with the mindset that there’s no such thing as a bad trip. It reduces the odds of having a challenging trip in the first place, makes them less challenging when they do happen, and improves successful integration of challenging trips afterward

People don’t like to hear it because it sounds like invalidating toxic positivity, but you’re right. Aside from fringe cases, there’s no bad trips- only challenging trips. It may even be traumatic, but that doesn’t make it an inherently bad trip; it’s all about how you respond to it and what you do with it after.

When I was a young moron, often making long drives at night on unlit roads, I would watch videos while driving by placing my phone on the dashboard and watching the reflection on the windshield

You have only your shit party to blame

If you believe in karma, you can rest easy assuming that your targets deserve it

I absolutely cannot with these. If it asks me about motorcycles I skip or refresh until it gives me something else

You can sort by state, but it would be nice to be able to narrow it further. Going through the files manually just to find out they’re all hundreds of miles away on the other side of my state is kind of an annoying process

Super cool though

I use ezgif.com

Lmao I don’t think I saw that

The purity test bullshit on the left

Dems aren’t on the left

You may not be trying to misgender Harris, but using object pronouns as if they’re an inherently bad thing is pretty insensitive to those who use it/its pronouns

Also, dehumanizing the enemy is pretty slippery rhetoric. You can admit/accept that they’re people while advocating for violence against them regardless

Damn this is so true. I did go find that comment just to downvote it tho bc I think it’s funny

I’ve actually done this and it was genuinely good- tasted like pizza

As an ace therapist, I agree with this answer OP. Like others have said, talking to a therapist would also be a good idea, but be sure to find a therapist who’s actually familiar with aspec stuff

I love this song by Naethan Apollo about the UHC CEO, Death of a Profiteer. Hoping he releases another banger about this one
