I agree. I tried to hint at it, but I should have probably formulated it less dismissively, less absolute. That's on me.
What I wanted to express is the unfortunately very common notion that each beneficial trip, or any trip really, has to be a pleasant experience, and that's simply not true.
So, what did your integration look like? Did you talk to a professional about this? That's the part most people seem to leave out, and without that, well...
As the meme says, there are no bad trips. If you're serious about psychedelics and not simply taking drugs for entertainment, you'll always get the trip you need, but not necessarily the trip you wanted.
A "bad" trip just means you either needed to process some difficult stuff, or you might have violated a bunch of rules regarding set and setting. In both cases, you get the expected outcome.
Honestly, difficult trips are often the most rewarding since they help break up stuck patterns of thinking and behavior or bring things to the light you've been trying to hide from yourself whose repression caused internal suffering etc.
This always assumes you've done your homework and you don't suffer from e. g. preexisting medical conditions. If you're schizophrenic and take psychedelics, you might have an actual bad trip, that's a completely different story, naturally.
I mean, Lua is a pretty "interesting" choice for that application, but don't blame shitty coding practices and inexperienced coders on the language.
The gigantic loop could have been cleaned up with a table, registering handlers for the individual cases.
Lua is probably not the best choice for a web service, but it definitely has its applications.
Sure, rhythm, structure, even how the words are being printed on a page are used as poetic elements in modern poetry. Often, pure sound is used, meaningless, fictional words, decomposed elements of a given language, syllables.
But modern poetry has moved away from long standing, fixed rhyme schemes and meter. This, along with the use of anachrononistic language, gives the translation a dated feel. I'm aware of the age of the poem, but I don't feel the ultimate goal of a translation must always be perfect accuracy to the source material and its historical context. In fact, poetry often suffers from such endeavors.
But then you'd have no additional incentive to throw your perfectly fine 8 Pro in the trash and buy the 10.
I'm with you, the "improved" translation is too verbose, tries to hard, and assumes that all poetry has to rhyme.
Don't spread any misinformation. The price for the theoretical part is 25€.
If you take the test 128 times, that comes out to 3200€, a number very similar to the one mentioned in the article.
The article does not talk about the total cost of obtaining a driver's license.
Oh no, not my holotypical occlupanid!
I have not much to add, just that Scrivener is actually decent.
The stylophone is probably not a very good choice if you actually want to make a musical track, it's quite a bit limited.
Also, please don't assume that hardware is simpler than plugins. A lot of hardware has plenty of menu diving or arcane shortcuts due to the limited hardware controls, tiny (or absent) screens etc. You should be looking at "one knob per function" devices.
If you just want to explore a bit and make tracks, get a groovebox l. If you are looking to dive into synthesis and a bit of sound design, look at the Arturia Microfreak.
For what it's worth, I've been actively involved in psychedelics for almost 51 years, so I trust even you will be able to deduce that I'm unfortunately the opposite of a teenager.
I already admitted that I opted for a rather inappropriate way to express an opinion that was (rightfully) misinterpreted and tried to better express what I was trying to get at.
You are free to completely dismiss that attempt as well, but please don't try to bring seniority into this.
