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.

it is absolutely not useful for gaining anything outside of what you consciously already know, but for whatever reason can't "wrap your head around"

Lots of weird comments in this thread trying to assert anecdotal experiences and opinions as a blanket truth. There have been lots of stories where trips have been able to bring the subconscious to the surface and given light to underlying truths hidden beneath

While I still believed I was cis, I displayed lots of behaviours for years that I was obviously trans (debating with my male friends that being a girl is way better than a guy, being happy whenever a friend would say I have the personality of a "cute girl") but I never once questioned my gender identity. My first trip (shrooms not LSD tho) I experienced explicit gender dysphoria for the first time ever and it was incredibly intense to the point of wishing self mutilation

The intoxicated hyper awareness combined with the increased neuroplasticity can absolutely make one gain useful insight that they've never once came close to grasping

I would argue this only validates their claim - there was already a level on which you were arguing for and practicing feminity, but hadn't connected that to a personal desire and ability to be a girl. You had a conscious awareness of all the aspects, you just hadn't packaged them together in an understanding of the whole.

You're describing what I'm saying. It can be useful for concepts you are struggling with, but it isn't going to introduce anything particularly new to the mix.

My post was in the context of a violent war criminal, for instance, would not automatically see the light unless they were already dealing with guilt on some level.

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
