  • …Like you realise most secondary schools have the set of responsibilities and expectations on a single page that the child will sign in year 7, right?

    It’s basically just symbolic and of course you can choose to not sign it and will still go to the school, but to say that they never agreed to it, atleast in my experience is a stretch. Though obviously there is a lot more nuance in this conversation.

    The reality is underfunding of both schools, as well as sports/youth clubs, the schools being unable to make effective punishments, and parents not caring what their child gets up to both online and in school likely are the key things to blame.

    Plus the effect on the psyche of children growing up in a world which they know is fucked and seeing genuinely so little to improve it probably doesn’t help.




  • I have experienced this, a grand total of twice, but not for 5-10 minutes (once I was in a towel and came back around vibrating on the floor which was confusing but probably was the longest one at a minute or two).

    I was a chronic joint smoker and would get lightheaded standing up in general. Typically since having switched to vaping it no longer happens. Is the high otherwise pleasurable for you?

    Do you have a heart/lung/blood pressure condition in general?




  • Did you read the description of the book the guy linked?

    This is an objective biographical study of Crowley written by someone who lived and worked intimately with him. Dr. Regardie observed “The Great Beast” at close quarters while serving as his personal secretary. The Eye in the Triangle was written many years later, after long contemplation. Regardie combines the psychological insight afforded by his professional training as a Reichian analyst with his grasp of Crowley’s magical personality.

    It’s likely that the passage wasn’t written by Crowley himself, so a source like the one linked may be useful.

    Also Libgen if you’d rather download the book and ctrl+f the passage you’re looking for


  • So you normally can be ok for a day or so, might be a little bit more sensitive, some people get panic attacks/heightened anxiety, some get a feeling of emptyness or depression. It really varies on the individual, where they are and what’s going on in their life.

    There were days were I’d have a meltdown if I missed a day. By comparison; one day about a month or two after having stopped smoking tobacco due to having COVID, I felt like I didn’t need it and just stopped with basically no negatives, though I was also in a good place in terms of my life which likely helped.

    Personally if people are curious about SSRIs, I’d suggest they look into Vortioxetine, it’s technically not an SSRI, which means it has much fewer side effects, but still does the same job as them, just with less foggy cognition/groggyness
