it lets me customise the tip/charity/bundle organiser ratio and i’m 85% sure I’ve gone under $7 for the tip multiple times

waaaaayyyyy less grindy/waity than graveyard keeper

yea precisely. Sound design is less about how it really sounds, but more about how you think it should sound + some flair to make it a show.

Fun fact! sometimes in movies when there’s a big fire sound designers will put animal roars into the fire sounds to add an extra layer of fear you don’t even realise your body is going to react to

the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want

they needed researchers to tell them that?

if it makes you feel any better you’d go to prison if you decided to run a ponzi scheme… unless you’re a bank, that is

how to tech your kid lying is good in two easy steps lmao

I’m doing it for the bit, a week ago i got high and thought how funny it’d be to stop smoking because drugs told me to. So i did lmao

to talk about something for even an hour requires much more than just “i like this thing”, and an analysis of why you like the thing does make the script of a video an essay. It could be a critical essay, it could be an opinion essay, but it’s an essay nonetheless

oh i’m aware, i’m not going about starting drug cults because i saw god or anything, i knew the “part of the universe experiencing itself” from Buddhist philosphy before tripping. But during my psychadelic experiences i could feel it (no i didn’t read any philosphy right before it, sure i was aware of it but this is a rather universal experience with or without phisophical background). But i do disagree on the “but because it really is that simplistic”, man, without experiencing it there is no way to truly understand, countless people (psychonauts) have attempted to describe it, and all of those descriptions pale in comparison to the experience. It’s like trying to describe colour to a blind person.

it’s not science, it’s closer to philosphy than anything. I don’t belive in magic, but i do belive in a unity of all beings with the universe, i mean, we are objectively a part of it, made of all the same stuff, just awake

sure i was, and? An altered state of consciousness is just that, an altered state of consciousness. Whatever revelations found in that are in a way the same as sober ones, because there aren’t any answers in nature, just whatever we come up with. What’s the harm in feeling like something, anything, makes sense? Even if it’s just a fleeting feeling

I was high, and I saw myself dissolving into the universe and became one with it for a while. And that feeling was beautiful, gave me a perspective I’ll never forget, and quite frankly changed my life for the better

in philosphy it’s not defined as such

A principle originating in classical Greek thought which refers to a universal divine reason, immanent in nature, yet transcending all oppositions and imperfections in the cosmos and humanity. An eternal and unchanging truth present from the time of creation, available to every individual who seeks it [link]

i don’t know if it’s a second hand reference or a direct reference to experiencing a psychadelic trip and its visuals but yes - OP either heard that psychodelic trips can bring you interesting revelations or has experienced it themselves, and fractals are an almost universal psychadelic visual, hence the image

regarding the logos bit - have you never had a profound realisation that happened so quickly in your brain and on the level of pure emotion (instead of words) that you then needed significantly more time than it took you to think that realisation to actually verbalise what you felt/thought/experienced?

to lead with the most extreme example: ego death, if you take enough psychedelics and are able to let go, you might experience the death of your ego. It’s simply impossible to describe with any mortal tongue, but i’ll try to paint a picture of how it feels. At some point in your trip, long after time lost meaning, you find yourself- gone. There’s sort of like and- echo, at the back of your mind, a faint whisper that is you, you aren’t really there anymore. If you let go of the last strand of what’s left of you, you’ll find your mind dissolving altogether and a very specific and universal feeling will occur: you’ll feel, for a short while, or maybe multiple hours, again time has lost all meaning, that you’re part of the universe, and you’ll understand that you are the universe, a part of it, but also all of it in a way, the universe experiences ourselves through all of us, and we are one, seperate only in the way that mushrooms appear to only be the bits that we can eat.

^and this is to say, trips like that are prime examples of experiencing the purest of logos, understanding, on an innate level, a truth about the world and feeling it change you and your perspective on the world, and at the same time being completely unable to do it any justice when you try to describe it, because usually it’s very hard and sometimes it’s downright impossible

so for a 14 day trip you’re taking 7 pairs of pants? that seems like a bit much

we know it’s genetic for sure. but we don’t know if it isn’t enviormental as well, it’s rather hard to check, but to confidentiality claim that it definitely isn’t is silly

that’s part of the “planet is dying” bit, since nobody who can do something about it is doing anything

I hate thinking so negatively about the future but the more the world seems to crumble around me the more I feel like we might be one of the last generations of humans that got to experience civilisation for a long time.

The planet is dying, fascism is spreading, the tensions are rising, and everyone has nukes! woo! future!

same here, even when someone hasn’t changed my mind 100% I’ll often acknowledge if any of their arguments made me want to delve deeper into a topic and think more about my opinion on it

don’t need to use a VPN when my country could not fucking care less about piracy. Hell, some major chain shops here run pirated windows

I want my notepad to open in split second so I can jot down my thoughts when I’m in a rush so I don’t forget things. or so I can copy multiple things, edit them slightly and paste them where I want them to be. or so I can pre-write a paragraph to send shortly without appearing as “this user is typing” to everyone as I rewrite a sentence for the 5th time, and to not fear accidentally hitting enter mid said paragraph.

I do not need my notepad to have AI. It’s not broken, stop trying to fix things that aren’t broken
