Gibberings CXV - Documented proof

[parttime crackhead]

yeah, I found a dose of crushed dried shrooms amounts to about a heaped teaspoon of powder, fairly quick to swallow.

That's fuck all. I'm pretty sure I can deal with that without needing to mess about with gel caps then.

I suppose bombing it in a rizla might be less hassle than gelcaps. Last time I gelcapped mushies it was about 8 big ("00"?) gelcaps for a half-decent dose. Depends on how fine your powder is, certainly with kratom it's a real cunt getting the powder down my throat, so I always put it in yoghurt; it's so fine it's like dust though.

Just saw a bloke walking his dog in just a t-shirt a minute ago. I thought poor dog it must be freezing in just that t-shirt.

There is a guy local to me I see in town all the time, no matter what the weather he wears shorts & t-shirt even in snow or terrible rain.

Just got back from Ice "plating" like a sledge but more plate shaped, hard as fuck to control though but great fun

I made a batch of am1220 herb mix at the start of this month. The batch would have been at least 15-25 g (cant remember). Anyway what i always do is take 1 or 2 g out of the bigger batch, and put the small bit in a little container, as it'll last me at least a couple of weeks. I believe its not good for freshness to keep opening and closing a big container all the time. Thing is ive lost the fuckin bigger container of it. Looked everywhere. Spose it'll be a nice find2-5-10 years down the line. Wonder if it will retain any of its properties....

I always find gel caps better to be honest. Get nausea on psychedelics a fair bit anyway so don't like to start things off by dry heaving due to the taste of the mushies and it just starts the trip in a sicky direction. Much less nausea by just eating caps compared to mixing with things etc, not sure why might even just be a mentality thing with me.

Then we're in total agreement. Unfortunately, it's hard to opt out of earning a crust.

the more people who are self employed or run small businesses with small numbers of employees the better off we all are. This is what I was getting at with the glass ceiling being a psychological one, it takes a bit more effort and courage to be that independant instead of just getting a job (where there might be real sexist glass ceilings) - but it is a problem men and women equally suffer from.

If by 'power' you mean within the existing socioeconomic framework, then as much of a a generalisation as that is, I'm inclined to agree. But then that's part of what what feminism's about in the wider sense - rejecting the current socioeconomic framework (which reflects several centuries of disproportionate patriarchal influence) and replacing it with one that offers fewer rewards for being a 'total cunt'.

So it's not about women leapfrogging men on the ladder, so much as the ladder itself being dismantled. Seems a bit defeatist to just accept a society that rewards 'total cunts', no? Or indeed, to implicitly endorse that culture by claiming that women will have to "aggressively"pursue any progress.

I'm inclined to see 'feminism' as nothing more than female chauvinism, which is no different from male chauvinism. Anyway, what better example of how much fairer and nicer women would be if they made the rules is there than maggie thatcher?

But if I may, can we just return to the post which initially raised eyebrows?

Please explain this 'false sense of entitlement' further, and maybe also why you single out western women as psychological trainwrecks? What could a 'western' woman learn from an 'eastern woman' for example?

Or even western men, whom I see you don't include in your statement? Just curious, not having a go. I can't discern the source of your apparent frustration with women in particular, see.

Anyway, Monday. Joy.

I referred to western women because I'm a westerner myself and that's what my first hand experience is having grown up and lived in the west all my life, since I wouldn't want to generalise to the extent of saying 'all women' when I'm talking specifically about the majority of the women I've encountered throughout my life here - I wasn't implying that women from other cultural backgrounds might be any less mental

The 'false sense of entitlement' I was talking about is fostered during childhood by little princess delusions that clearly persist in a lot of women into adulthood, this is partly why I find extravagant weddings so fucking nauseating.

Can't argue with that.

I blame Disney for 99% of it.

But lets not forget there are some parents out there bringing their daughters up to be intelligent balanced amazing women.

100% agree

Just eat the things, I used to eat 5/7 dry grams per trip (liberty caps from Wales)
Not really that hard of a task tbh.

the more people who are self employed or run small businesses with small numbers of employees the better off we all are.

Why do you think this? I used to think along similar lines, but I never had any logic to back it up, other than tax efficiency, but that's a short-term personal benefit, not a long-term social one.

I'm inclined to see 'feminism' as nothing more than female chauvinism, which is no different from male chauvinism.

Feminism is nothing to do with chauvinism. I'm not a woman so I can't claim to be an expert but I would be inclined to say that feminism is a reaction to millennia of male dominance. You can't view present conditions isolated from history, our culture is a product of history, and historically women have been treated as inferior creatures.

I agree with you about small business being better and more sustainable economically. Not everybody wants to run a business though. And I wouldn't say it necessarily takes more effort and courage to run a market stall than it does to, say, become a barrister, a cleaner or a carer.

It requires an entrepeneurial spirit, but that's something not even half of the population possesses. It'd actually be less sustainable if everybody did.



Essentially though, what you're saying is "like it or lump it".

I'm inclined to see 'feminism' as nothing more than female chauvinism, which is no different from male chauvinism.

Then you're totally ignorant about feminism. It's about equality, not superiority. So how on earth is that chauvinistic?

Anyway, what better example of how much fairer and nicer women would be if they made the rules is there than maggie thatcher?

Who talked about women 'making the rules'?

And Thatcher was merely the figurehead of a faction within the Tory party - she wasn't directly responsible for every policy decision that was made during her tenure.

I'm talking specifically about the majority of the women I've encountered throughout my life here .

That certainly wasn't clear fom your post. Evidently at least one of these women has upset you though.

Little Princess delusions are indeed annoying, but out of all the women I know, very few of them (in fact, I struggle to think of more than maybe one) perceive themselves that way. Or if they do, they hide it well.

Anyone get caught up with this at the weekend? The police keeping busy using there resources as best as possible as always,

Raids across London to crack down on premises flouting licensing laws have led to 297 arrests, police said.

More than 4,000 officers visited 5,830 premises during the 48-hour operation, which began at 08:00 GMT on Friday.

The biggest raid, involving 175 officers, was at 93 Feet East club in Brick Lane, after intelligence about suspected drug dealers operating there.

Got in from work today and made meself a couple of burgers, rolls, bit of cheese, drop or two of Mad Dog (super potent chilli sauce)

Picked me son up from school.

Came back and made a couple of coffees.

First sip, FUCK, eye watering heat, Scoville heat, not celsius heat....had used the same spoon I'd used to spread the chilli sauce on the burger for me sugar..

But, after a couple more sips, it's actually pretty good. Not that I'll do it deliberately in future. So, not that good.

Interesting. To me anyway.

^ you know you can get a really intense orgasm if you put some chili/tiger balm on your knob while wanking!

I agree with you about small business being better and more sustainable economically.

I think this is wrong, surely the empirical evidence suggests that small businesses are less economically viable. You just need to count the small businesses that are put out of business by large businesses to see this. I've seen it enough myself, independent hardware stores snuffed out by B&Qs for example.

Small businesses are surely better for the consumer in the sense that they tend to satisfy niche needs, but I don't think being small is an economic advantage to the staff or the owner, and they are in many cases more expensive for the consumer (mostly in retail, as the economies of scale are realised when purchasing is done in serious bulk).

Or have I misunderstood you?

been away from Bluelight for over a year, but done a bit of lurking and it seems EADD is still alive so hello everyone, hope everyone is having a good monday, I'm off work for Christmas now so just sitting on a bed trying to learn more about Internet Policy %)

pretty sweet for teK, don't want to type loads but doing well, moved Bristol for a bit after getting tired of Warrington, lived with 14 random people in this big shit house was fun.. did 11 months clean no booze or drugs, 12 steppa, it was great but having a drink now and a smoke, and the occasional big night of raevin it up on MDMDMMMMAMSSSss.. got new hobbies now though which is nice

discovered I can't touch benzos (again, seems to be a hard lesson to learn) still got that big class A itch but learning to live with it.. Back at Leeds now student scum an a job, got a lady too living a pretty stable life it ain't bad! anyway nice to be back probably a bad idea was pretty dependent on this forum and stayed away so long, but, you know, fukkit

 

[Shambles]

Hallllooooooo, Tekken!

Great to see you back amongst us and glad to hear things are going well. 12 Step bizniz aside - fuck that, far better ways to keep a lid on things... but I digress. I'm pretty sure a BL addiction beats a benzo addiction so, as you say, fukkit. Welcome back

Why do you think this? I used to think along similar lines, but I never had any logic to back it up, other than tax efficiency, but that's a short-term personal benefit, not a long-term social one.

because it creates diversity in the economy, which makes it more resilient, benefits local communities, leads to better employee conditions, leads to innnovation, creates native growth industries, some of the immediate benefits that spring to mind anyway.

Feminism is nothing to do with chauvinism. I'm not a woman so I can't claim to be an expert but I would be inclined to say that feminism is a reaction to millennia of male dominance. You can't view present conditions isolated from history, our culture is a product of history, and historically women have been treated as inferior creatures.

A reaction to male dominance means countering it with exactly the same attitudes that sustain male dominance in an allegedly enlightened present-day, unfortunate but true in my opinon. Why is it bad for men to feel they are entitled to hold positions of power, but fine for women to feel they are entitled to hold positions of power, just because the existing state of affairs + the past sees men more likely to hold those positions?

Men got into that position in the first place because they have always been genetically / biologically predisposed to it, and have been since the human race began. You can't tackle the power structures that historical gender bias produced, with yet more gender bias, and anyway there are plenty of men who would like to see it disappear too, an adverserial approach is doomed to fail. I've always thought of feminism as being reactionary and ill conceived, but then again women do have smaller brains :D

Yes handed my keyrings in some time ago, not for me just didn't have any better ideas at the time! do still stay in contact with some of those friends despite most of em being quite insane, it's good to have a few clean recovery fundamentalists in the phone book! they listen anyway

thanks for the welcome back, nice to 'see' you Shambles hope you enjoyed your b'day
