Jesus christ this thread should never have existed. I swear I'm way too old to be posting on this forum anymore but I was told about this one and I feel like I should say something. My thread was posted with the intention of dispelling false information that, to this day, supports an artificial industry that has been established by the privatized prison system. A lobbying effort to keep drugs illegal, supported both by prison guard unions and the corporations that own those prisons, and in tandem, the pharmacological industry that profits immensely from privatizing drug sales, generally people who profit from destroying innocent lives whether or not they intend on it. A system that puts your fellow human beings in cages for activities that hurt no one but those that hurt themselves. Prohibition has never worked, and always resulted in atrocity. Just a few decades before Anslinger conspired to make weed illegal in order to capitalize on the paper industry, alcohol was banned, and it resulted in legendary crime families, crime rates skyrocketing, gunfights in the street, and the government poisoning thousands of US citizens which lasted a grand total of 13 years. The current era of prohibition relies on our people being uninformed, and my thread was posted with the good intentions of informing people I perceived to be my peers - but this was the wrong place to do it. This forum is primarily composed of teenagers and children - I didn't start smoking weed until I was 18 (cigarette buying age, also when I posted that thread and subsequently stopped posting, I didn't do any other drugs until a year later), after I had already spent a lot of time researching it in the desperation of my mother's cancer. When I wrote that thread I was one of those kids just coming into adulthood, that had been lied to, and I felt betrayed. Maybe that thread was as lashing out as it was altruistic.

My thread was *not* posted to advocate drug use. You're not cool if you do drugs. Real life isn't Scarface idiot (which btw he dies at the end of with nothing to live for because he ruined it all like a stuffhead: life lesson). If you are under 18 (honestly, even under 21) you shouldn't be putting mysterious psychoactive chemicals into your brain. It's still developing, and it's *not* cool that psychiatrists are giving people that young amphetamines because they can't sit still. Understanding them is important, it's a general part of life that isn't educated to any of us and that's dangerous. I have a younger brother, four years my minor, and he smoked weed before I did and just generally without even knowing what it is. That's a bad thing. After talking to psychiatrists I'm still mystified as to how a responsible adult, that attended school for so long their title actually changed, comes to giving a kid psychoactive stimulants knowing full well even soda and caffeine is bad for their development and it's really forgeted up. They give that stuff to F16 pilots and Marines, there's no way a child or unstable teenager should be taking it. On top of that, there's great argument within the law and the psychiatric community that antidepressants like prozac, especially SSRI's might be statistically causal of abnormal suicidal and violent behavior and these arguments have even made it to court. There are many people who are absolutely functional on them but the why on either side is absolutely not clear and won't be for a long time. Regardless kids shouldn't be doing any psychoactive drugs, but trying to scare them by lying to them is as unethical and ineffective as it is dangerous. People need to be educated on the stuff they're doing, and they can't be if it's stigmatic. Doing drugs and partying is part of being a young adult in college, and most parents would rather not have their child overdose on a psychedelic brown townogue because they didn't know that there's multiple types of acid and 4 hits of one kind is safe but 4 hits of another will straight up kill you. Maybe they'd rather them not do acid but that's a ridiculous expectation - when ever has telling someone not to do something worked? Hendrix for example, died because he overdosed on mystery drugs out of a bottle written in

Anyways I looked at the profiles of most of the posters of the last few pages and the ages I saw were 14, 16, and a few kids who think having their age set to over 400 years old (or n/a) won't make someone immediately guess they're under 15, and seriously it's not alright. Stop using drugs as some sort of exclusive club, they are pragmatic tools, not toys, and they're important. They can help you to utilize different sectors of your brain manually, there are countless examples of (especially) psychedelics being the source of inspiration in major works of art and science such as Steve Jobs or Jimi Hendrix or whoever probably overtly talented and now overrated individuals - but those people couldn't have made those advances if they hadn't already been as intelligent as they were, and it didn't come from desiring success. Drugs can either be a sponge for your creative energies, or the power you need to take your skill to the next level. LSD-25 is notorious in programming and engineering for its strange cognitive enhancing abilities, for example. Psychedelics like LSD and Psilocybin have recently been observed to cause neurogenesis in the brain, and it only seems to get stranger. Anyone can take drugs and dance for six hours. Great people use that time of new perspective wisely.

"Design" and "layout" are nearly synonymous.

I'm thinking of taking krav maga over the summer.

He's the best in the world, apparently.

It's surprising how effective the techniques against guns and knives really are.  It seems like the first priority is to aim them away from you, then to disarm the attacker.

It seems pretty cool, and I'd really like to do it.  Thoughts?
Krav Maga is israeli special forces CQC. It's designed to do one thing, and one thing only: Kill.

Almost every move in Krav Maga was conceived to make sure your adversary is dead before you are. Said moves are composed primarily of breaks, dislocations, sprains, and pressure points. However, there is Krav Maga that has been adapted for MMA. Sambo is the same way.

Also he is not "the best in the world".

3.5 +3.5 is 7.
5/2=2.5
3.5 is not 50%
I read 3.5 as 2.5 wow

7
No it is a 7/10, 2.5/5 would be a 5/10
3.5 of 5 is 50%

50% of 10 is 5.

i was getting a little tired of seeing a 3 and half rating on a 5 star scale.

starfishs could just do it out of 10 then
we call that a 5/10

do you understand fractions or what

Comment redacted. Didn't think about terrain being removed from Blockland, I can actually see this being useful.

Like I said, generally speaking for somebody who doesn't have a tolerance to psychs.
You don't build tolerance to psychedelics.

Cubensis spores aren't illegal. You can order them over the internet. Hunting for cubensis in the wild is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

If I dropped a tab and played LSD what would happen?
Fun.
