I don't know why but it's just way more intuitive this way for me at least, thanks!
I think you should consider changing "library" to "documentation" - for whatever reason I also struggled to discover "library" actually meant docs - but only after I also clicked on a specific version.
I think the best UI/UX for this is something like django's [0], where "documentation" brings you straight to the latest version's documentation.
Does anyone know of a rss reader that presents multiple feeds in columns like tweetdeck by chance? I dream of a dashboard of rss feeds.
The changes in brain function occur in both, I think they both let you "move down paths of thought you normally wouldn't" if that makes any sense? There's studies for both that show similar changes in neuroplasticity, and I've heard from many psych users who later moved to just meditation and they seem to swear by not needing psychedelics
I do not know how to explain it - but I know from my experiences that a truly bad trip wouldn't remotely compare. I'm very convinced a bad trip can give you real PTSD.
I'm glad your experiences weren't worse. I don't mean to minimize your experience. But I think it can unimaginably worse.
I really, really wish I could recommend psychedelics, but I can't right now.
I've had at least 6 trips with tested lsd, I've had challenging moments in trips - but never bad trips outright. I truly think you learn the most during these challenging moments. But like you said, this is different from a bad trip. I know they cannot compare.
AFAIK a bad trip is effectively a panic attack, which will fall into a feedback loop, and even though I haven't personally had a bad trip, from my experience I'm very very certain you can obtain legitimate PTSD from one.
I always prepared extensively before a trip. Playlists, activities. Importantly I had an set amount of a long acting Benzodiazepine. In the case of a bad trip I could abort it, or at least some of it. However I cannot recommend this unsupervised. Everyone has different reactions, and I suspect I've been lucky. I do not even know for sure that the amount of Benzodiazepine I had would have been enough.
I do think they offer an experience that can't be replicated - at least in the way I used it. But I cannot currently recommend it. It's too unpredictable. If you are being guided by a psychologist, with a psychiatrist on standby to properly administer medication in the case you need to abort the trip, then maybe, maybe it's safer. I don't really know yet.
I look forward to the time that we have a better quality studies, and a better understanding of them in general.
If anyone does decide to do them, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE practice risk management. Test your stuff with at least two reagents, have plans in place, preferably trip sitters.
tl;dr - bad trips absolutely are a thing. "difficult moments" are also a thing - and I agree they are learning moments, but they are not the same. They are not even comparable. We cannot pretend bad trips are not a very, very real risk.
I just don't trust my VPN to be managed by a 3rd party like this. I'm willing to pay money even (though I don't have much) for hobby use - but I don't like the possibility of exposing network devices like this. To be honest I'm a bit surprised seemingly everyone else is.
I do not think crypto itself is a ponzi - I think long term it has uses, but not this stupid "get rich quick" bs.
But I was laughed at for saying "don't buy crypto to make money". NFTs can genuinely be useful - but if you're using them with the goal of making money then you're using them wrong. This stupid art stuff and other general stupid "get rich schemes" have obfuscated it's actual usefulness, leaving it overvalued as all heck, and everyone scammed.
The very volatile price caused by this stupid "get rich quick" hype makes it even more difficult to actually use it.
The bad outcome I was warning about was the 80%+ drop. Even advising people to keep coins in their own wallet is commonly dismissed with "yeah but [exchange] does x differently and is too big to fail".
Many of us have seen many "too big to fail" exchanges fall, have seen 2+ other "crypto bubbles" drop the price by 80%+.
When we told everyone "don't keep your money on an exchange" and "we've seen seen these 'too the moon' skyrocketing prices before - be prepared for the eventual crash" - they laughed and confidently said it was different this time, that we were just jealous, didn't understand defi/web3 etc.
I seriously do not enjoy seeing people suffer, I tried to warn people to prevent them from losing huge amounts of money. But when your warnings were laughed off - it's hard and there's some mixed emotions, and many of us are a bit jaded.
I do think crypto has a legitimate use, but this "buy crypto because you'll get rich" mentality just creates these detrimental hype cycles.
One example of restrictive but public licenses include requiring others to share their source code if it's derived from yours, allowing individuals to use a product but not allowing business to use it (businesses can use it under a different - likely paid for license)
There is an argument for fair use if it counts as a substantial derivative, which is a different discussion from why people make it publicly viewable without making it flat out public domain.
