>and no I don't give a fuck.
>Discuss.
I believe that drugs can help awaken consciousness and help with depression, mind trauma, body trauma, and other mental states.
But using them to survive for sufferings is pointless, especially when you become addicted and dependent not only on the chemical but also on the sensations it produces, even if the chemicals are not addictive or do not make you dependent bacause you use it like food for sensations.
They will only make the suffering worse and worse.
>Also
The United States is experiencing a barbaric opioid crisis because its hospitals prescribe them like candy and hotcakes. And that's just narcotics (for pain, narcotics are for pain, but people become addicted because they depend on the pain-relieving sensation and the opioid and as a form of coping and escapism from their problems).
When they talk about the war on drugs, they never talk about entheogens and the positive effects they can have on physical and psychological health if used correctly and therapeutically.
So, for me, drugs aren't bad if you know how to use them as a catalyst for a change in your mind and life.

Worst way to cope, and have a long term risk of make you addicted, schizo or both

Psychonautics is indeed a hobby.

Depends on which drugs you use and how you use them. Sure you can inject yourself with heroin to cope with your shit life, but if you invest in having an entheogenic experience through psychedelics you might be able to connect with your true self. Drugs aren't evil, they're a tool. In the right hands they can serve you and in the wrong hands they can and will destroy you.

looks like Yukari-sama needs more than one thread…

>>70041
Just by being an adult you've earned the right to cope with this meaningless existence however you see fit - other people's opinions can only influence your actions as much as you allow.

I came home from work and there was more GHB in my mailbox, strange, it took weeks for it to arrive so I assumed the package was lost. There's also a decent sized storm today here so tonight's going to be quite comfy.

Can this be used to decensor cencored anime succubus naked tummy area drawings? Answer me.

ahh yes, the tidiness emits motivation and a mood of deep focus as well. Very comfy to sleep in a clean room.

idk looks kinda stupid

Boston tea with molasses and boston cream pie flavor sound interesting :)

>>69849
>boston cream pie
heh
cream pie

>>53529
Yeah that is a great feeling. Sadly I make a mess in 2 days again. And it always takes me some time to get the energy to clean again. Gonna have to get better with keeping it clean next year. You get depressed living in a pigsty..

Recently I've been doing a lot of clearing. I have been slashing down a bunch of native shrubs and trees that cover up spaces and many other plants that I've planted myself. I usually let them grow, especially ij spring, so that they create some microclimate during the harsh summer. Now that the days are getting shorter and the sun is less bright I can clear up these spaces, and open them up for the plants below. The leaves make for gold mulch and I can use the trunks and branches for firewood. Everythijg used to look so lush, now it looks a little empty in contrast.
I also want to bring in many new plants to fill up some of this space, as it turns there's a lot of it! I plan to bring some small trees and shrubs and hope that within the next 5 years they grow big and themselves cover the ground from the sun, as well as provide a lot of fruit.
I have also been broadcasting a lot of vine seeds, mostly curcubitae, such as pumpkin and luffa, but also others like passionfruit. I want lots of trees with vines hanging from them full of fruit, and pumpkin vines crawling along the ground.

well everything else has died from the cold but my peppers and everything inside the greenhouse are still alive, so i consider this a big success, even if it does eventually get too cold in a few weeks, it definitely extended the growing season and should let me start planting early also.

That time of year again. I really should have been out days ago, but the weather just will not co-operate! I can't really do anything until the weather stops swinging 10 fucking degrees in a single day!

greenhouse bump

i guess this thread will come in handy in 6 months

>>70030
Ha, no doubt. My garden isn't over but it's winding down. I picked the last of the tomatoes to finish ripening in the window since it's too cold out. Carrots and radishes are still going great and should have my final crop before first frost. Right now it's all about compost and mulching for the off season.

>>69507
why even bother?

>>69511
>why bother being healthy and feeling good when there exist other people who are healthier than me
Succubus.

>>69514
Depends on your goals and proclivities.

Like I workout to make myself better at my hobbies and make my work feel easier.
I don't need to be the biggest most strongest in the whole world for it to be worth my time.

>Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?
>drink lots of water
>compensate lack of carbs with fiber and lean(ish) protein
>consume only good fat, no vegetable oil at all
>take most of the carbs of your day in the pre-workout meal (if a full meal, eat 2 hours before training), so you feel energized in your training session and to use the consumed energy effectively
>cut off stupid "food" like candy and soda, use your sugars strategically

A useful diet tidbit. If you're a food enthusiast, transform your meal into a delish by using different seasoning and adapting existent recipes to your goals. For example, I make yakisoba with extra meat and vegetables and less noodles.
A huge beef or chicken thigh with great seasoning and some BBQ sauce (here's your strategic sugar) as a full meal, for instance. If you think the sodium is too much, chug down your water. Impossible to feel empty. And an idea for a snack:
>ground lean meat (80%)
>oat powder (20%)
Make meatballs with those ingredients, go light on the seasoning and store them in the freezer. Whenever you crave for crap food, shove some of these bad boys in an air fryer and you're good to go.

I don't deadlift because I am too tall and have slipped discs in my back. Wish I could tho.

I wont be reading all the replies but I am also addicted to eating and how I go about not eating all day is drinking a lot of water and tea. Makes me feel full and drinking a cup of tea almost gives me the same feeling as snacking. And if you really want something to eat just eat rice cakes, celery and stuff like that

He's pretty good on the bicycle

>>64269
unfortunately it didn't take off
track bikes are pretty cool and i kind of wish i had one but i would literally never ride it. these look super cool though.

Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up? Or is the experience just the same with RWD (rear wheel drive AKA common bikes)

>>67775
>Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up?
Not really.
Recline bikes and other such bikes that sometimes have drive trains in the front are more about the advantages of the unusual ride position for comfort and lower drag, and being able to use different muscle groups that have more endurance at the expense of less sprinting power.

It anecdotally makes climbing harder. Especially if you have to balance.

If you are taking about e-bikes, it doesn't matter.

As a 300lbs dude, I hate it when my special big bike is idling

i'll bump thread now to post a lifehack later

I prefer afrikaans language more then dutch. it sounds beautiful to me, more then dutch

>>67512
your probably refering to the accent i assume, flemish is way more beautiful then that of main land dutch

out of curiosity why is that? coming from an afrikaans person the language is not widely used anymore, aside from in smalltown SA

>>67607
I don't know, first time I heard about it, I founded it cool and wanted to learn about it. I hope my answer is enough for you. also, do you speak afrikaan?

bump for africa ahaha

So, some mathematicians spend their spare time on Collatz Conjecture

If the number is even, you divide it by 2

If the number is odd, you multiply it by 3 and then add 1 (making it even, obviously)

Problem: prove any natural number can turn into 1 (e.g. can end up on 1-4-2-1-4-2-1-4-2-1 loop)

Mathematicians seem to fiddle around with "hailstorm numbers" and such

Conway - the person who created The Game Of Life "automate" was also interested in solving Collatz Conjecture



My take is, it's a good idea to shit how unsolveable Collatz Conjecture is:

1) a starting number can be a very large prime number
2) no one have really tried to treat Collatz Conjecture's repeating operation as a pattern, not a set of numbers with natural values. Halting problem…
3) at some point, an unexplored prime number will probably ruin the whole loop.

See, Collatz' Conjecture is a math problem that LOOKS simple but in reality, in involves fiddling with many variables. What if some huuuuuuuuuge number can say "frick you" and respawn within the conjecture? That would be a loop.

That's pretty cool as long as you are an actual nazi.

>>56750
now i want some cake. That would be delicious

This post is about Czkawka. I make screenshots of media, then filter them, essentially breaking into three categories: to simply look cautiously (200 images per hour), to search for meaning of written text in them, and to OCR and other things on the laptop. Often there are duplicates and similar images.

I tried to download Polish program Czkawka. Installation failed, Processprng, bcryptprimitives dll, entry point problem. I went to 2020 version, Windows_gui. It worked. It found 218 similar images out of 4097. I ended up deleting 80 images. Usually I checc 50 images per session and even that's not always. It's only from folders I had merged together. Like before, during and after WWE PLE. Some images were screenshots from a book and I left recursive with a ✔️. After deleting some results were unavailable to open and were displayed initially twice or more (if there were multiple images). It should be something like less than 109 images without those repetitions.

It found files with different names and with slight differences inside. Although there's one it missed, there was a carpet hanging as a difference and I saw it while deleting an image (this image was the next one after it). Other programs were paid, for Intel generation 10 (mine was released like two years before the first one), didn't open due to some similar stuff like above, had only duplicates search, or became frozen after starting the scan. Magnificent. Now as long as there's at least before and after 1 current PLE, there should be plenty of such results, duplicates from weekly and postshow episodes.

Your opinion on "digital photoframes"?

>You might be able to write a real secret diary, in any case.
haha indeed wizzie, but you're right, I should learn a real language (I want to know japanese) but I never started because I need soleone to learn; I need a professor. I can't do shit on my own

>>68826
If you can't do shit on your own, you can't learn a language. It's just that simple. A professor isn't going to make you memorize 10,000+ words and slowly grind your way through dozens of books at a snailspace.

i tried

Join the cybercafe and discuss anime in katakana

>>70022
Tourist approach to language. I'd watch 20 minutes of language for travelers and dive in mostly lost. Still good fun! Katakana counts!
