No there are standardized amounts for 5% beer, 13% wine and 40% hard liquor that makes a glass of each of them amount to the same amount of actual ethanol. When I said 18 glasses I wasn´t counting how many times I filled the glass

Oh, okay, time frame is important too. Also, I don't understand your concept of "standard units." I have never been somewhere that serves drinks by that, or that sells them by that.

I was told "do what you love" as basic life advice since I was a small child, the whole generation was. It is the worst advice I have ever received. It's only valuable to people who have a career-applicable interest from a young age, or to adults already financially independent, who have had enough experience to figure out the things they don't love, and how to persevere with things they hate.

Rant on:
NSFW:

No one ever told me, "Make money now, or else you will starve, suffer from disease, and be forced on the streets, unless you find someone to subsidize you" or "Work as much as possible, lest you find yourself unhirable" 'cause you chose to do what you cared about doing for a while, and look lazy/inadequate as a wage-slave because of it.

Admittedly, coming of age 'round the start of the so called "Great Recession," after being raised in boom-times where opportunity was always around the corner may be part of the problem. How can you do what you love at a time when being self-supporting means getting some bullshit degree, whereupon you can learn a skill (See: 1/3 of older millennials have a baccalaureate or higher) rather than simply going someplace that teaches a skill (or someplace with on-the-job training, assuming that compulsory education teaches you more than "how to go to university"). Oh, and now you must compete with degreed persons for unskilled labor positions (they sat in classrooms for 4 years, ergo they have a better work ethic!).

That a far higher parentage of Millenials view financial achievement as important than Gen X and earlier folk, may be part of the problem too. I assume this maladaptive belief is a result of 18 years of being told, "Go to college or you will be a failure forever!" and never being provided with other options.

I know so many people who are more intelligent, sensitive, and perceptive than the hoi polloi, but are struggling to get by, or struggling with some existential malaise*..why, for what? Because they were told to expect—to demand—something more than survival? I don't know.

*Think of Sartre's "Je suis condamné à être libre."

i understand what you're saying, and making a living is definitely necessary and everybody needs to find a way to do that. but if you're not somehow working towards following a passion, what are you really doing with life? the buk said it better than i ever could:

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is." -Charles Bukowski

NKB- Units is a European thing, you unworldy dolt! ;) I love your posts man, they breally bring me great joy and intellectual fodder...and more importantly give me hope that you millenials might indeed shake the ship a bit....even if you are one inna 1000, that's a lot of NKBests! :D

Speaking of alcohol, I had to give it up a few years ago. Had a good run with it, but over the years the negatives began to undeniably outweigh the positives. Don't regret a thing....and life is better now without it

I get leg pains from phenibut too. Granted, I spent more than a decade off and on boshing GHB and GBL, and still take prescribed baclofen, but phenibut gave me quickest and nastiest dependance I've ever experienced....later trials (and long runs :/) resulted in a nefarious habit with a vicious kick...I didn't think GBL could be beat for GABA-B withdrawal nasties, but phenibut really kicked the shit out of me. I still love it when I seldomly take it....the pharmacology going on is quite fascinating, much more than just "GABA-B agonism", and the effects are profound...whoever said it feels like it makes you the Person You Could Be was spot on....it is pretty divine when you nail it...

Pregabalin is another good'un....a little bit of everything....feels stellar when You hit the sweet spot...but my god, it too has vicious withdrawals when chronically used...like a mixture of opioid and benzo withdrawals....strange stuff. I take 1800 mg of Gabapentin a day for neuropathic pain, for which it works great. I do enjoy taking 3-4 grams in staggered dosing every now and then....great buzz...

Soli did you ever make it to Auroville?

Weird, the town I grew up in is called Aurora and that's what I read. Made me startle for sec!

You really have to hit phenibut at the right spot. I'm not too good at it anymore but I used to be able to get there almost any time I tried. Now it helps me if I'm having a bad day but not super noticeable... I seem to have lost the ability to find the "sweet spot". I have never been addicted to it again like I was that one time though.

That album kind of upsets me. I much prefer listening to A silver Mt Zion or Hrsta. To me, the original GYBE catalog was so definitive and perfect, it was so complete. Now that there is a new album I can't even count that as one of their albums. It's still good, but it doesn't belong on a shelf with the rest of their albums. It's more like a new Silver Mt Zion album to me.

really? damn. i think its amazing. then again, my favorite GYBE album is Yanqui U.X.O.. which tends to be most people's least favorite.

Salvinorin B ethoxymethyl ether with 3-ho-PCP, ondansetron, and DXM. FACE!! Also, my dick is not bigger, it's just more ideally sized than everybody else's according to surveys inquiring into the preferences of the majority of women.

The social thread titles in Psychedelic Drugs have nearly always struck me as far more creative than threads in any other sub-forum. I believe the moderator and artist formerly known as Willow started the tradition years ago, but I can't be sure.

Yes I recall, it was Willow, that dastardly genius.

kid A is such a badass album
Click to expand...

Yep, right now that's what I'm listening to. So great.
 
Live Radiohead is so good
Amnesiac is my favorite album from them

I totally agree with brother Laika about Don't Bend Ascend though
Felt like just another Explosion's In The Sky album or something

I'm listening to Andrew Bird's latest album and earlier gave a listen to St Vincent's self titled lp
Both are really good
 
you should pray every single day
for reality to move towards bliss
if you only say one prayer
please make sure it's this
for happiness is all that really matters
when it comes down to it
not just for yourself, but for everything
that does or will exist
 
What's up fellows
