As a leftist, I dislike this sentiment. We should not normalize isolating folks on the far right.

Of course, do what you want with your friend groups. Kick someone out if you don't like hanging with them. But if you can swing it, there are a lot of cases where it can be really good thing to expose conservative folks to leftist worldviews in a friendly setting.

I feel including conservative folks has a much more direct and convincing theory of change than excluding them does.

(Again, it is cool if you don't want to do that.)

    People who took psychedelics on the Fourth of July later reported a shift in political attitudes in c/wildfeed@sh.itjust.works

    With psychedelics now taken far more often outside clinics than inside them, that wider context could quietly tilt the outcome.

    Was there ever a time where psychedelic were taken in clinics more often than not????

    SBA #171 Inspomaxing in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
    [–] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 child)

    First off, good luck getting your happy memory. Second, yo I find EMDR to be like modern magic. It's so unintuitive on it's surface and so obviously more effective than just talk therapy. Why should tapping on my shoulders and thinking about things in a certain way rewire my brain so much faster??

    It makes much more sense after looking into it, but wow. What a cool thing to have access to in our modern world.

    Unlike many terminal applications, it's highly customizable, works offline, and doesn't require an account.

    Woah. Huge if true. I hate always doing my 2 factor verification to get into my terminal. And I don't even know how they got it working offline.

    Ripe Puerh Showdown! (My two favorites from my sample purchase) (sh.itjust.works)
     

    This was a shootout for my daily drinker puerh. I would never have been able to decide without drinking both at the same time.

    Tea & Water

    Tea 1: 2003 Tian Di Ren "7572" (9g in my 120ml gaiwan)

    Tea 2: 15 Years Aged Golden Melon Ripe (7g in my 100ml gaiwan)

    Water Temp: 203-205F

    Tasting Notes

    Dry Smell:

    (1) Sweet Wood

    (2) Bright Punchy Wood

    Wet Smell (Post Rinses):

    (1) Minty hay, fresh plants by a creek

    (2) Deeper minty hay, chocolate

    Brews: (*) Indicates that I liked that tea more for that brew.

    • Two flash rinses so I start further into the teas.
    • Steep 1. [flash, flash]
      • (1) Orange/Tan: Light wood
      • (2)* Dark Brown: Rich chocolate wood
    • Steep 2. [12s, flash]
      • (1) Dark Red: Bright honey pencil in nature
      • (2)* Dark Brown: Honey pencil
    • Steep 3. [18s, flash]
      • (1)* Red Orange: Writing in my notebook by a pond
      • (2) Dark Brown: Rich body, lower aromatics
    • Steep 4. [28s, 15s]
      • (1)* Elegant Red: Honey, creek, pencil
      • (2) Dark Brown: Pencil, deep
    • Steep 5. [35s, 25s]
      • (1)* Elegant Red: Playing outside on a rubber tire swing
      • (2) Elegant Red: Nice pencil
    • Steep 6. [55s, 40s]
      • (1)* Elegant Red: Mint, mulch, nostalgia
      • (2) Lighter Elegant Red: Nice pencil, metallic/slight bitter mouth feel

    Qi: After drinking both of these teas I feel the familiar lazy feeling I get after drinking more puerh than is needed. There was a moment around brew 3 that I felt quite nice and energized and motivated in a comfortable way, but now I am passed that. I just want to laze around and consume any content that is at least mildly interesting.

    Overall: At the start I enjoyed tea 2 more because it was stronger. However, it seemed to extract quicker and with less complexity and joy in the aromatics. So, tea 1 slowly pulled ahead and stayed ahead as the brews continued. Tea 1 was cozier and more inviting, had better staying power, and brought me to more enjoyable places.

    Price Notes: Both teas come to about $0.21/g. That makes a 10g day of tea only $2.10.

    Both teas had more brews in them. I am just too affected at the moment to keep brewing.

    Tasting notes: Shou Puerh from LittleRedCup (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Little red cup is all fair trade tea! This is the only fair trade Puerh I've found so far, and it is quite good!

    Leaf smell:

    Dry: Chocolate, Fish, Graham Crackers

    Wet: Brown Sugar, dry erase marker

    Tasting notes:

    • First brew was light and leaned towards dry erase marker with a bit of chocolatey richness.
    • After that brews either tasted quite chocolate with a syrupy background or quite brown sugar esk with a steamed milk background.
    • Each brew got a bit sweeter
    • I pushed brew 6 kinda hard and got a really sweet brown sugar taste.

    Tea high: very balanced. Decent energy, but very smooth. Not relaxing, but in some sense I do feel a bit calmer than when I started my session.

    Price notes: I got the 3.75oz canister for $16.75. That comes to 15¢/g. So this session of ~5-6g was 75-90¢. That's a fine price for a very solid puerh.

    Overall: This will likely become my go to puerh. It is fair trade, tasty, and a nice price. It doesn't have my favorite flavors of leather and wood, but it more than makes up for that by being fair trade. I can have puerh from worse paid workers here and there as a treat.

    Any of y'all know what this fella is? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    This is it next to a rotifer.

    I'm almost done with a microbes /w music video and I just cannot find any leads on this fella. I'm not so versed in microscopy though. I found this guy in a stream. I got a good amount of soil and moss in the sample. There also happens to be an invasive snail population in that stream called a mud snail.

    I could try to upload a video somewhere of it if any of y'all think that would help.
