Got me some more 1p-LSD 😋 Heading out to the forest area near my house tonight for a lowkey psytrance/doof thing, a friend of mine is playing which will be great. I'm gonna eat a few hits and probably take some 5MEO-MIPT and stamp around in the swirly darkness for a few hours before heading homewards for a music session and some DMXE and kava. Have the house to myself so gonna go deeper than I have before. Many blessings to the PD swirly folks. ❤️
 
MHRB oils/wax make a good perfume

Makes me want to try extracting eucalyptus to mix with
 
I just noticed your signature @swilow and ended up looking up the quote on goodreads:

“The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.”​

― Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

Oof, made my hairs standup on end

You ever think about retraining in the tech sector? I was taking to a bunch of people over the weekend that used to do what your do, then did boot camps and got out. They're living the easy life now, although they had to work hard for quite some time as novices.

When i was in my early twenties i used to work for a computer company and built and repaired tape drives used for backing up computer networks. Did pretty well back then but then that business got fazed out by the advancements with the Cloud and by tape drives not being needed anymore.

What are these boot camps you speak of, assuming its a short schooling or some type?
 
Uh, @Xorkoth would probably be better at sorting through the scammy ones to find the good ones. I'm not equipped myself.

Is a coding bootcamp worth it?

This option can be a an easier and more affordable way to build skills and boost your salary.

Apropos of nothing, I just watched the Barbie movie and thought it was brilliant. I do very much wish I'd been tripping when I watched it, though. That would have been perfect.
 
Confusing day. On the one hand I finished some work and would like a little treat.. I'm thinking stimulants, been ages since I've touched any, apart from the odd free sample, and I can think of some constructive uses. On the other hand, the tinnitus doesn't seem to have entirely gone back to pre-kratom levels. It's about at the volume where it threatens to become tonal, just on the brink of the unacceptable. Tweaking will just mess it up, won't it?

Nothing in @Pfafffed's article about how AI is going to impact the sector though. The chatbots are still mostly writing crappy code, but you know, for how long?

I'm chipping away at some sort of IT degree myself currently (mostly just so I have something to easily tie all my real interests together with), and even at uni level I get the impression I'm mostly being taught soon to be obsoleted skills.

Could be a good idea anyway in the shortterm, because yes gotta love the flexibility. But it has to be said that nowadays AI's prospect has the coders idealizing the more concrete jobs for their security, like plumbing, or cooking, ironically enough.

Isn't it beautiful? Nabokov is one of the purest literary talents I've encountered. His most famous work, Lolita, is incredibly disturbing (and meant to be) but at heart it is just page after page of unbelievable prose. He could describe a toaster in a way that brings a tear to the eye.

Had a great night last night. There was only about 80 people at the little soiree in the forest but it was just great. Saw some old friends who I've not seen in years. My mate played a few of my tunes. Have not heard my music on a big sound system for over a decade- such an amazing experience. Although I could only hear rhe flaws and the system itself was pretty crappy. But cool to see weirdoes dancing to music you've slaved over. I left at around 2am and glad to have done so, apparently the police appeared about an hour later.

Was at a perfect +2 (.5 maybe) all night, which I think is the sweet spot for tripping these days. I find it easily manageable and could function perfectly well if needed, but still deep enough to experience the full psychedelic gamut of effects. With the help of smoked DMT/MET mix, I was able to poke my head above the universe for brief moments but was mainly just filled with good cheer and gentle euphoria.

Had some nitrous at the party, first time for that in like 15 years. Hilarity ensued. 😃🤪

Thanks for the book recommendation. Sounds amazing and right up my alley. Been taking a break from consuming social media and have read 4 or 5 books in the last month or so, which is outstanding for me. Typically I read maybe a couple of books a year. I had forgotten how much I love reading. Might be my favorite, non-drug way to escape reality

That sounds like such a superb night! Happy to hear that you had such a swell time :)

It is amazing and given that the main character is basically a narcissistic pedophile, it's extraordinary that the book has gained the acclaim that it has. But just read a few pages and the genius starts showing. Very wordy but true artistry.

What other stuff do you/have you been reading?
 
Let me present the internet's greatest forum thread: why do my recordings sound like ass? https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=29283

If you record music and have any interest in the technical side of it, this is a seriously brilliant thread. The main guy, yepp, has a great way with words and explains all manner of complexity in easy to parse manner. I've been doing music for 25 years and studied audio engineering decades ago, and this thread has plenty of insight I've never thought of before. Plus it's a heartening example of how the internet can be used to disseminate elite information in a respectful and helpful manner.
 
Home sick with a shitty head cold. Turns out dissociation is pretty good at reducing symptoms... I dosed DMXE orally and then added a tiny bit of 3-MEO-PCP just to up the gentle mania (you heard that right).

I'm making a pseudo "real band" thing atm using only software. Got this awesome collection of incredibly brilliantly sampled acoustic drums, bass and electric guitar, and some really beautiful orchestra stuff (free from the company Spitfire). Trying to make it sound as human as possible while being mildly dissociated is kinda tough but I'm really feeling the most tiny portions of sound and massaging it into the shape I want. Just great. Does it sound good? I have no idea. But it's mixed perfectly ( I think). 🤪
 
One of my vendors has MXE right now, gonna buy some when i get paid this week. Cost me so much compared to what i get bulk FXE so its just really difficult for me to justify with my tolerance. But man oh man do i love MXE and even if i do get maybe 4 sessions out of the gram it would be so incredible to do some again after all these years. Also found this different vendor that had 2C-D last night which i would like to get also, not my favorite 2C-x but still a lovely molecule.
 
I just rewatched The Road. Damn that movie is gutting. The first time I watched it with my Dad and he was semi-choked at me for making him watch it. Now that I'm a father myself it's even more gutting and more true. I don't know if I could watch it with my own sons. Not sure I could handle the book either.

Very dark movie indeed. Light of My Life is a remarkably similar movie, but focuses more on the parent/child relationship. It's about a father trying to guide and protect his daughter in an apocalyptic world, society collapsed after a virus killed all women on earth.

Weird coincidence, just yesterday I was talking about that movie. I also watched it with my dad, we went to the cinema when it had just come out. Never watched it again since then (it's been a while).

How's everyone? I have been mostly away from the forums this last couple of months, moved to Europe recently for career related reasons, and have been consumed by all the necessary arrangements. Lot's of stuff to do, but also so much to learn and explore. It's been intense, but so much fun so far.
