Anyone else unable to post in the Biden e-mail thread?
 
People make a lot of fun of shamans but I think society could use some trance and psychedelic plant induced wisdom.
There is nothing wrong with a little spiritualism. I would love to do ayahuasca in a shaman's hut in South America some day. It's when it moves into snake oil sales that is becomes problematic, like the psychic surgeons in India, for example.
 
If you ever needed proof of how fucked up this place is racially:

Shopkeeper goes right up to a couple of young black men filming something near a small shopping center in regular ass America, and tells them it's a "no :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: zone" among other things, and most of the thread is fainting like Scarlett O'Hara because one of the black dudes suggests the man might get his ass kicked if he doesn't back up and leave him alone.
By the way, there's a been an update and the guy doesn't even have anything to do with that shop other than living in a condo above it in the same building. The shopkeeper seems to be at least as upset as the young guy making the video and after several pages they're still talking about how awful it was to call the police when nowhere in the article does it identify who contacted them. The shopkeeper implies they had prior concerns about their safety around the accused and could easily be the one who called in the cops. Did a single person in that thread suggest they didn't know who called the police, though? Nope. Auto-assumed it was the black guy.

From the responses in that thread I learned a lot more about those individual users than I did about the incident. It's quite an enlightening thread. Many of them either lack the ability to reason well or their bias just won't let them--a distinction without a difference in the actual event, I guess--a depressing number are just outright auto-triggered by the black guy and its pretty telling.

You could also do mushrooms in my living room, bit different but cheaper
 
Rand Paul is mad at the news for not covering the news he's reading in the news.


LOL like Trump Tweeting about Twitter being taken down. How--I mean come the fuck on, America--how do you elect these fuckwits? Why the fuck does anyone want such dumb people in charge of their country? It's not a fucking jury where you want your peers in there deciding your fate, it's like handing a Ming vase to an epileptic having a grand mal seizure to keep it safe and sound.

I'd be down for that but sadly, it will likely be a long time before I get to Europe again and especially Belgium, I'm afraid. Whenever international travel opens up again, if circumstances allow me to go, Japan will be priority one. And probably the next time around as well. After that, yeah, we might go in the other direction but it wouldn't likely be any farther than Ireland. But you never know. Or come for a visit and bring the shrooms with you, that would work too. Tourism here needs all the help it can get, even from Belgian janitors.
 
@Fawlty Next time I'll do the right thing and link to "seriouslyrealnewstrustme . PL" instead of just questioning the tinfoil conspiracy.
