Anyway obviously Hamas are a bunch of deranged freaks for taking some stimulants before going into battle. Unlike our wholesome IOF doing peaceful and cool drugs.

Proves once and for all that psychedelics don't actually make you a good person.

I wish a very traumatizing trip upon this occupier when a rain of missiles begins flying.

This sounds like a great way to get extremely brutal PTSD when something bad happens

[-] Nagarjuna@hexbear.net 50 points 10 months ago

Yeah, for those who don't know, LSD increases nueroplasticity. As in, it makes it easier to train your brain into new patterns: it makes it more like a toddler brain.

So just like ACEs are more impactful at younger ages, war trauma hits harder on LSD

(ACEs = Adverse Childhood Experiences)

So should people be learning difficult math and new languages and reading theory while high on LSD?

[-] Nagarjuna@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Can't hurt to try, but also, I've had things I'm studying click while I was tripping

[-] booty@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

That was literally my first thought, too. Like, LSD will make me learn better? Why the hell haven't I heard this before

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Problem is that we can't control what would be learned better. CIA had a lot of experiments with LSD and not a lot of success.

[-] WideningGyro@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Weren't those mostly focused on it's use as a truth serum though?

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

They tried every use they could think of. The only successes were in "really fucking people up" direction.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Not while obviously, but I think the couple days afterwards would be best

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 months ago

This must be why tech bros microdose.

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

sadly reading is hard on lsd because all the other departments of your brain are vying for attention too

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, there's a reason microdosing LSD is such a big deal in STEM

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

good, it's the least the fascist soldiers deserve

[-] WoefKat@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The guy's a conscript. He's forced to be a soldier. IMO he's a victim too.

[-] egg1918@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

No he's not. He could flee the country, he could go to prison, he could permanently injure himsel. There are many ways to simply not be a footsoldier for a genocidal regime.

In case you weren't aware, there was an israeli Taylor Swift fan who ran a fan account on Twitter who famously went to prison rather than participate in genocide.

[-] WoefKat@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

True I would refuse too. But I know I'm particularly anti-authoritarian. I can imagine this would be a big deal for some young people especially with family and social pressure going on.

[-] somename@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Refusing isn’t that long of a prison sentence.

[-] WoefKat@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not? When I was young in the Netherlands it was a big deal. Luckily I got disqualified on the medical.

But I would have expected it to be a huge deal in Israel.

[-] somename@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

It's generally a few months I believe.

[-] KiraChats@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

yeah, a few months and they even split it up in to a few weeks at a time, wherein they ask you "you sure?" then a few weeks later you spend another few weeks in prison

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
