Receiving it 3 months early doesn't matter to you?
Not particularly, I'm busy enough right now that if an oculus landed on my doorstep today it'd be days before I even got to try it. I have other things to do in the mean time, questionable tactics to move me up in some queue cost more than I stand to gain.Think about all the (cumulative utility) lost, being among the first to receive it.
You have this way of posting when you're trying to convince someone to do something. Whenever you use parentheses I imagine like a little devil or evil cupid or some shit popping on on my shoulder being like "hehe, cumulative utility". Like if we were talking in person I could only imagine you issuing such lines with shoulder hunched followed by an evil chortle. It's cute. I like it.When have you been one for patience and delayed gratification?
Since ever? My whole schtick is that I too fully embody the middle class ideal of delayed gratification that I'll perpetually be waiting/working for something better until I die. I was made for waiting. -

I honestly don't understand how living that life is worth it. -

It's really not! I get by on empty hedonism, and a complex of self loathing and superiority with a hope that the better angels of my nature will win out and I'll manage to choose a life as a middling academic being underpaid and overworked and largely ignored but doing something that I find a meaningful as opposed to making excessively more money than I deserve while garnering the approval of my parents and peers. -
2016-04-25 at 2:41 AM UTCPart of the reason I began drinking, that entices me to get a drink, is to drown out the thoughts of self loathing and guilt. "Stay out of my head!" "Keep the bad thoughts away, keep the bad thoughts away..."
I have the worst intrusive thoughts at times, it's a regular occurrence.
Oh, and also boredom/a feeling of emptiness. -

Lanny, you're thinking about this the wrong way. Are you really so busy that you have no significant free time after work or on weekends?
Yes, you may have regular activities you engage in, but to maximize utility we choose the best choice available among alternatives. I mean, for Satan's sake, man, virtual reality is finally a reality! Once you try it, with time, you may it so incredible and versatile an experience that you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Activities that before took up your time, internet (Oculus Rift has Virtual Desktop available), alcoholism (Drugs could synergize with the VR like no other), television and films (They can be viewed in the rift, in a virtual theater or with avatars of your friends sitting next to you, able to communicate), going outside (Far superior environments, what will eventually become an endless array of user created content, more beautiful, emotionally provocative, than the natural environments of man, mundane reality, could ever hope to achieve!). Nearly everything could be replaced by virtual reality!
Accepted that reality is never going to be what you want it to?
…
Why not replace it? -

I feel like you're at least partially telling the truth, so what are the chances of flipping a switch and turning over a new leaf? I know you think I talk a lot of bullshit nonsense and yeah maybe I do but honestly I used to be a really depressed kid and found my life hopeless and somehow I'm not like that anymore. I didn't find god, I just changed my perspective. -
2016-04-26 at 5:40 PM UTCI have LSD and was going to do my first acid trip this weekend but I have to put my dog down today and I think I'll be too depressed to have a good time or maybe I should just do it any way

Unless you're an especially strong, emotionally rock-hard person, I wouldn't. Could either go really well or really not-well, probably the latter. I would let the initial bulk of impassioned feelings one has when losing a dog pass before you decide to be pushed into confronting the issue while in a mentally vulnerable place. I dunno how attached you were to your pooch, but you really don't wanna be tripping while still in the process of grieving. Normal depression is one thing. Whatever you do, good luck. -

Not a good idea. Stanislav Grof, who conducted/supervises thousands of LSD therapy sessions before it became illegal, referred to psychedelics in general as non-specific general amplifiers, and I consider that a very good general description of one of their main qualities. You're more likely to have a bad trip. If you want to use it to help process/come to terms with what occurred, it would be best to wait until the grieving period is over.
If you foolishly do decide to go through with it, I hope you have a benzo on hand in case you need to abort it. -

Lol degradation is not that fast unless you have like, out in the sun on a rainy day. As long as it's kept semi-cool, properly stored and in the dark, degradation probably isn't going to be a concern. Unless you're planning to store it for years. Any time you get LSD it has probably already traveled a long way to get to you, a week isn't going to make much difference. -

That's true but psychedelics are better today than tomorrow. Its like fresh nutmeg vs ground. -

Not so bad I think, I've only been out of school for like a year or so. I was really getting tired of being poor so the professional thing was refreshing for about 6 months, more disposable income than I want to spend was fun but then I got bored with the work and the drugs are fun but one has to watch them closely. It's turned into a shit slog but maybe that's OK, maybe it's been a learning experience. Or maybe I'll have to flipflop back and forth between the professional world and academia periodically until I die as long as I don't get trapped in one or the other.

I'd wait. I think there's something to waiting for on a psychadelic, not just like waiting for the best circumstances but just in general. The best experiences I've had involved some level of preparation, not taking other drugs for a while before, just anticipating it, maybe small "planning" activities like stocking up on the right foods or finding the right book to read or problem to work on. Maybe that's just me, you can end up obsessing over stupid things and never getting around to it which is bad but I think there's something to be said for deliberating on it a little bit.Not a good idea. Stanislav Grof, who conducted/supervises thousands of LSD therapy sessions before it became illegal, referred to psychedelics in general as non-specific general amplifiers, and I consider that a very good general description of one of their main qualities.

Have you read any of Grof's books? I got the urge to pick up something of his recently, it sounds like LSD Psychotherapy would be the most up my alley but I'd be interested if you had any opinions. -

This is a hilarious analogy. I get what you're saying but LSD doesn't degrade that fast whatsoever. They don't really give a fuck about preserving the mystricin when they grind up nutmeg, it gets oxidized and degrades. I don't think most people keep their LSD in the open air. -
2016-04-27 at 9:18 AM UTCI was waiting for you to return and comment on my Oculus post: http://niggasin.space/forum/better-l...5018#post95018
My reason is impetuous, my logic is impregnable, and my argumentation is just ferocious.Have you read any of Grof's books? I got the urge to pick up something of his recently, it sounds like LSD Psychotherapy would be the most up my alley but I'd be interested if you had any opinions.
Yes, it's fascinating, but some later sections can delve into pseudo-science/the paranormal, unwarranted speculation, and can be read merely for the interesting trip reports or skipped altogether, although, regardless of what's occurring, they do seem to be common experiences in his observation, so maybe they shouldn't be skipped after all. -

I didn't have anything particular more to say, I think VR is cool but I don't think it's going to have as much impact as you seem to think it will and honestly I'm probably just going to play games with it for a while before developing anything so it's not an especially productive item to have. Plus I'd hate to get stuck with one of those shitty PC bundle deals, they're almost always a total ripoff. Probably should do a new build soon though, had my current machine for four years now although I haven't found anything I couldn't play and it runs like a champ. Probably going to buy a new development setup first (probably a MBP and some cinema displays) though, so maybe next year. We'll see how it drive an occulus.

2016-04-28 at 4:10 PM UTCJust helped a Croatian family put a trampoline in their car and guys..... Damn, the whole family, excluding the father, was hot as hell. Hnnnnngh. Fuck. My dick fluffed up while strongmanning that shit thing in there. It made me feel superior because the dad couldn't do it and the girls seemed to enjoy watching me being a Neanderthal.
The daughter was a blonde, bubblegum-chewing little brat with ripped up leggins and sunglasses while the milf was dressed in leather with a ponytail C'mon man. If that's not a cuckold porn scenario then I don't know. Me fucking them infront of the dad would've been awesome.
