Reply to ELI5: what is the actual cause of a bad trip when taking mushrooms? by Trilly2000

Usually, if you are new to it... it is because you're scared and don't feel in control. You have to release that feeling and know it'll end and you did it for a reason and to let it show you what you need to see.

If you're not new to it, it means you're subconsciously..or consciously... repressing something and it is coming out of the dark so you can deal with it. If you feel the devil or some evil force around you, it is not real, it is a part of yourself you are refusing to deal with. Gotta integrate the shadow to become whole.

Or it is just a bad set and setting. If your parents are upstairs and you decide to trip and they are super anti drug... guess what...you're gonna have a bad time.

Edit. As someone who's had a lot of good and bad trips, while my best trips by far were good ones, the bad ones taught me a lot also and I'm equally grateful for those, even if they were difficult in the moment

They don't market the 3 Rs. They market the recycling symbol and the number that says whether its recyclable or not. Qnd most of it ends up in the trash anyway. The better way is to not buy or use or produce any of it to begin with

No thats generally not a good approach because they'll fall back on emotions and probably hate you as well. And just not really listen to anything you say. You have to appeal while listening and be open to their ideas as well. As you're not right about everything either.

Absolutely. Though its a 2 way street. But discourse like this is much preferred to the 2 enemy party system we've fallen into.

You realize recycling is bs though? Used to sell more plastic so you won't feel bad, by oil companies themselves. Not much actual recycling is going on, most of it is dumped

Reply to comment by Bruno_Vieira in Study uncovers a surprising level of heterogeneity in psychopathy among condemned capital murderers: While a substantial proportion of the offenders exhibited heightened psychopathic features, others showed no signs of psychopathy by HeinieKaboobler

People just think evil people are psychopaths so if someone's evil they must be a psychopath and if they are a psychopath they must be evil. There are plenty of nmgood psychopaths out there. The media just loves a villain. Also a lot of research into the subject is only done in prisons on CRIMINALS. It is going to skew the data.

Reply to comment by 2515chris in An analysis of data from 30 survey projects spanning 137 countries found that 75% of people in liberal democracies hold a negative view of China, and 87% hold a negative view of Russia. However, for the rest of the world, 70% feel positively towards China, and 66% feel positively towards Russia. by glawgii

People are what make up governments. The problem is any position of power corrupts most people. Like crazy HOA members. Or cops. Or politicians. Anyone who gets an ounce of power has a strong chance of corruption.
