Is mental health on the shroomery declining? 4

Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that several (many) posters seem unwell lately? There really seems to be an uptick in delusional thinking.
Perhaps people are really starting to feel the impact of Covid isolation, racial tensions, fires, poverty etc? Or maybe it's all the media that we consume-- never really knowing at this point in history what's real and what's an outright lie.
Sometimes I get annoyed when these posters continue to post excessively in an unhinged manner, but then I think that perhaps this is their only outlet.
In any case, get outside and get some sun/rain on your face. Stay well everyone.

theres a guy in all the fasting subreddits I frequent who is obviously schizophrenic, and I seen one guy go off on him telling him to stop posting and if the mods were actually active he wouldnt be able to post and all this shit
I responded telling him to chill with the censorship, maybe reddit is all the socializing he gets in life, if he wants to post insane bable thats his right

We're having a rough year, most of us.
Me I quit all drugs but yea the isolation is getting to me. Lost an aunt to Covid and my best friend to ALS, more death expected before the end of this year, I got my best friend's death well forecast prior to it happening but along with it the mention of others.
My logic's good cause I quit the drugs but feeling quite MEH quite often.
I started off a competition of shit selfies in OTD so at least you could say I still give a shit 
COVID's gonna do us man, during the cold season of the northern hemisphere. This is not going to be fun.
A lot of people are resorting to excessive substance abuse to cope with the highly Yin nature of this year, and that messes up minds.
We're entering the process of a societal paradigm shift and in order to shift paradigms you have to first let go of the old one to then get on board with the new one.
Many are inbetween paradigms right now which is reflected in the of this year.

2020 sure is challenging everyone's sanity and that cannot be denied/ignored.
The days events are turning into fodder for trolling threads in which the same people line up on the same sides and call eachother names like nazi, racist, libtard, commie or just human garbage. I would like to say the vitriole has gone up a notch on the left but to be fair the other side has been telling people they will burn in hell for their sins for a while which is pretty terrible too.
Maybe we all need to remember that we are humans first and because someone doesnt agree with you doesnt make them less human nor is it fair to attribute responsibility to them for things they didnt do because the opinion is shared by others that did do things.

As my spirit guide puts it: "You all are on about getting back to normal after COVID but I hate to break it to you, that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The old paradigm is just DEAD, humanity is riding on two flat tyres and if it doesn't watch out the rim's gonna bend and you'll have to go on on foot. There is no "back to normal" becasuse the times you grew up in, the 80s and 90s, where petroleum use doubled every decade and pollution wasnt too bad are JUST PLAIN OVER. You cant "go back to same old" but have to invent a whole new routine, of cooperation, of local sourcing instead of flying stuff in from all over the world, of working together to find a way to keep the seven billion on you on this planet and the ecosystem going, at all. The old paradigm died and the COVID lockdowns are actually an OPPORTUNITY to start over from scratch into new wayus of running your world. Its NEVER going to be like it was because there isn't the oil, there arent the resources and pollution is reaching critical levels. Its DO or DIE."

Your spirit guide is awfully preachy and judgemental asante. This illustrates the point I was trying to make, the statement leaves no room for debate, stating conclusions as fact and proscribing solutions rooted firmly in your own beliefs.
Instead of saying what you (or your spirit guide) thinks and asking for other opinions you/your spirit guide has put forth a strawman that is either agreed to or the person disagreeing will be labeled ignorant or something along those lines.
Strawmen are good for some situations but they tend to result in binary yes/no feedback, the strawman is always personal too, it is yours and not one constructed by the community and therefore creates division.

Not at all.
He states his piece and you are perfectly welcome to disagree or write it off as nonsense.
You shouldnt feel discouraged by a voice of confidence.
He didnt say it to discuss it, its just how he says it, lets call it his opinion.
My beliefs tend to follow my Spirit Guide's, not as much the other way around.
We disagree on some things.
You can attack that he states it with confidence as the way it will be, but thats just a manner of speaking.
People are completely free to disagree and dond have to take it as gospel.

Maybe you're just paying it more attention. You seem to be online more than you used to be..? Or I could be wrong. I would agree that people are probably more stressed than usual with the state of the world but honestly nothing seems out of the ordinary aside from maybe a few extra folks hinting toward self harm when usually that stuff happens more in the winter.. Northern hemisphere winter anyway

I mean i am here now, but I mean I do not "stick around" or "hang out here" I consider this place a conservative website which tolerates bigotry to a very insane degree, so I tend not to "stay" but that is just my opinion.

"Sometimes I get annoyed when these posters continue to post excessively in an unhinged manner, but then I think that perhaps this is their only outlet."
That made me laugh. You know how many places one can post and the shroomery is the least read of them all. EVERYONE IS BECOMING THE JOKER! You sound like a Canadian. The U.S. isn't footing your bill anymore, lol.
Everyone is coming unhinged AND THE SHROOMERY IS THE ONLY OUTLET! Widen your perspective Canuck. Which isn't with tradition.

I went there once. Here’s what I witnessed:
Koodz had literally covered every inch of every wall of the place in his own feces. Then there is Falcon... who I’m half tempted to think of as actually just being one of Trump’s very own shroomery smurf accounts, who is always, obviously, defending his own “Trump’s” honor.... in an apologetic & abashed manner - but he claims it’s just because he’s attempting to even the playing field/ “balance the scales” since, as he sees it, it’s been so skewed & mucked up by those with Trump derangement syndrome. Lastly, (unless I’m forgetting someone) there is Enlilio. Dear Enlil usually manages to bring some semblance of rationality to the place - despite the glaringly obvious fact that the “Political” sub forum is perhaps one of the most predominantly irrational parts of the Shroomery’s forum overall! Basically, half the place is on shrooms (when it’s the last thing they need), and the other half needs to be on shrooms -but isn’t. Meanwhile, they are all “debating” this thing or that thing. Sometimes there’s a small light that can be glimpsed coming down from up above - but if the ceilings are caked real good with poo - it tends to just get overlooked.
I think that just about covers it.

Yes to most people, free speech means being able to be a bigot or complete and utter worthless human in public with no social reprocussions whatsoever. If reprocussions happen, then free speech is challengedk and taken away to that person. All free speech means is the guvment cant fuck with you for what you say (and even then, to a point...you aren"t free to entertain assassination for instance)

Exactly this, free speech generally is invoked for the right of antisocials to make antisocial statement, and more moderate people are stifled as snowflakes and whatnot.

Oh in addition to these free speech people wanting an excuse to be a piece of shit, these people also tend to base respect on their own terms, not the other person.

I operate under " the respect I give is completely under the other persons terms" If I disagree with their terms of respect, I will either leave it be, or willfully disrespect, depending on the scenario.

Couple thoughts,
The boards are usually quiet during the summer, right? Well, enter covid and I think that has impacted the flow somehow. Without a doubt, it is affecting our minds, everyone to some extent. For me, I noticed I started shitposting some. I reflected and realized I AM BORED. Now when there is that urge... I go outside!
I wholeheartedly believe that certain prominent posters are so quick to challenge a simple opinion, or begin a drawn out debate, or belittle and bash the person flat out. And methinks this has caused many posters to not contribute whatsoever, and lurk. Wish that weren't the case but I see it in multiple forums.
Sometimes when bored, I sift through ancient threads, seeing only a few faces that remain today, people who are now passed, but I also see -plenty- of the mental illness mess that we see today.
So no, don't think mental health has declined, but you noticed this is a thing.

Holy shit I just remembered fuck loads of people on this website saying going on a hike was fucked up and that you are spreading covid and that if a hiker gets hurt rescue teams need to come help and then they might catch covid so anyone who goes on a hike is selfish and evil lol god I can't stand people.

Polly seems to have gotten a fat head with a little confidence and has now evolved to full on screeching hypocritical SJW. Sweet.
Apolly - this place IS a haven for free speech. Someone coddling you in your opinions and having to fight to have them does not equate to there not being free speech. What you're complaining about is that there's not enough kiss asses and people are evolved enough to have opinions that aren't weighed against the political correctness of them. This is not a politically correct website. Not enough people agree with you. That's your complaint. Can't say I care. If you think the site sucks you're welcome to venture anywhere else. Most communities are too small, poorly moderated, or have way worse attitudes than what resides here. This site has a lot of genuine people, if the fakeness   makes you happy(!!!)  then try a chatbot. Or some other echo chamber designed for people who feel bad about (x)

A moderator said pedophilia fantasies aren't immoral until they're acted on and my suggestion was that instead of telling society that pedophilia isn't immoral we should tell them if you think about kids in a sexual way then hyperbolic violence awaits you.
Is pedophilia anti-social? Is it a sexual orientation?

It's not like pedophilia can be controlled. People who don't fantasize over children obviously don't decide that they are some how going to like that stuff. It's when people act on it that it's disgusting and violence awaits them. It's disgusting either way but as long as they don't act on it then I don't see what's wrong with it since it's not something they can control.

Telling them it's okay to think about having sex with kids sounds like a bad idea, IMO. Just because they can't control it doesn't mean it is moral. Doesn't mean the person is immoral but the thoughts are and rather than encouraging them to indulge in them we should encourage the opposite yeah?
Saying it's moral when it puts kids at higher risk of being molested seems contradictory. If that makes me anti-social, but someone who "looks out their window jacking off to their neighbors toddlers, records it and shares it with their pedo friends and there's nothing you can do about it" (an actual example given by someone. you're telling me they can't NOT do that LOL) ISN'T anti-social, then yea there is definitely a lot of mental illness around here.

I may have worded it wrong then. It is not OK to think about these things by any means, but my point is that unfortunately they cannot control their fetishes just like we can't control ours.

Telling them it's morally okay to indulge in thinking about their neighbors kids sexually because they just can't help but look out the window sounds pretty specious.

MrBlueYoMind said: A moderator said
Enlil said. A person with an opinion. Maybe you should appeal to the person having the opinion and not playing it out as if it's a site issue by saying it like that to an admin. You're trying to get him outranked because you can't outreason him. I'm not going to lend myself for you playing that game.
Quote:
MrBlueYoMind said: Enlil said pedophilia fantasies aren't immoral until they're acted on
I don't know if he said that, this is an entirely different discussion, but Enlil deals professionally with the aftermath of crime and crime is defined by your actions, and not your thoughts.
People can fantasize all they wish about anything, its the moment inappropriate thought is put into inappropriate action that thoughts become crimes
If Enlil has the premise that fantasies are not acted upon, it defines it as non-criminal.
Moral is another story, but punishing morality of thoughts is something of inquisition, the Reich and 1984.
Quote:
MrBlueYoMind said: we should tell them if you think about X then hyperbolic violence awaits you.
You are pleading for punishing thought crimes on a forum that solely can exist because there is such a thing as freedom of speech and moreover, freedom of thought.
That in itself goes against the grain.
I can vividly speak about turning anhydrous lysergic acid into lysergoyl chloride to react it with diethylamine yielding LSD without the FBI arresting me for being a Pickard in the making.
But on your topic of child molestors, if you around every corner threaten them with violence for thinking as much as doing, you are driving them away from therapy towards committing an offense. If you give them nowhere to turn but to do it, they will do it. That's how you run a plantation, a concentration camp and run up the child molestation numbers to the max.
If you have fantasies of strangling women you need a therapist to prevent you becoming a case for the prison system. The point on which this hinges is THOUGHT and ACTION. Before the criminal comes the patient. Let the patient not have to worry for persecution cor his thoughts. This makes sense for thoughts of strangling women, and molesting children.

Why are you making a complete attack volley against stuff you feel Enlil said in the absence of Enlil?
If you have a problem with him as a moderator over this, post a thread in Moderator Issues & Complaints.
But you don't, you just are disagreeing with his perceived point of view and do this by involving his modship in his absence.
If he bans you for being a pedophobe, send a support ticket but Enlil generally sticks with tangible matters are his logic in those generally is pretty ironclad.
I wont let you play enlil and me out against each other.
Go back into that thread and discuss with him about his factual, not perceived, opinions, and read it like he writes it, void of excessive emotional charge.

That's right Asante. We have absolute freedom inside our heads. Thought-crime is not a thing.
Back on topic of the OP, I think shroomery is faring pretty well compared to much of the rest of the net. Social media is an absolute frenzy and the media and the state of the internet in general is is hitting a fear mongering and hate slinging crescendo.
It's always been a bit bonkers here, maybe that's what keeps it interesting. But I don't feel much hate here. Generally people are pretty cool, even when they are playing up their behavior generally isn't malicious.

I don't think it was bonkers here in the past, though the past I am refering to is beyond when you even created your account.
This site use to be full of some of the brightest drug abusing minds on the net.
The news would report something false and it was immediately noticed on here, corrected and everyone agreed.
Like for just a quick example, the kid who supposedly shot a pig bigger than any that could actually exist, with an air pistol,
The media claimed it really happened and not even 1 minute later everyone on here was laughing at how stupid the media is for even remotely believing something so stupid.
I took a hiatus from this site for a good amount of time with minimal return then facebook became full retard over the last several years and so I decided I would come back here but the full retardation has slipped into here also. Not as bad as facebook there are still some level headed people but the re re's seem to be the loudest and post the most.

There was a golden age of forums there for a while, before the scourge we know as social media became. I kinda miss those days. Forums were a lot cooler, the friends were more real, everything was lease connected. Boards were like homes and other members became family. Almost all of the forums I used to frequent are either dead or dying. Not many have survived the FB machine and those that have are just a shadow of their former selves.

That reminds me, I also think there's many, many people under the influence of various substances posting here. Has always been that way. The least I do is smoke and shitpost, but if I'm tripping I'm miles away from electronics.
But yeh, I think that could be mistaken for mental illness. There are certainly a few nutters, though. Seems appropriate.

Sorry you feel that way. I catch myself lamenting about the past sometimes, too.
One thing I forget sometimes is this place has a vast selection of topics. If you lurk in another forum briefly, there's a completely different atmosphere.
Part of the issue is places like S&R and P&Mental forums are crickets, everyone then flocks to the pub because at least what you write will get a response here. And it gets convoluted. I have no idea what I'm saying, but try posting in a more 'meaningful' forum, like within this site.
Makes me sad you feel that way, some of the people here are closer than rl friends. Others feel like family to me. Ya gotta open up more to form those relationships, just like rl.
Just peeked at similar threads, this is from 04' - 'Anyone notice the declines of quality and intelligent posts around here?' It's a thing, it's been like this. Start posting more quality posts and encourage others to do the same, I always generally agree when I see you post, sometimes you even get a rl head nod! Appreciate you being here, never seen one shitpost from ya, actually.

Shroomery is what it is. Nothing needs to be "redeemed". Interesting how it morphs over time to me.

One thing I forget sometimes is this place has a vast selection of topics. If you lurk in another forum briefly, there's a completely different atmosphere.
Part of the issue is places like S&R and P&Mental forums are crickets, everyone then flocks to the pub because at least what you write will get a response here. And it gets convoluted. I have no idea what I'm saying, but try posting in a more 'meaningful' forum, like within this site.
Makes me sad you feel that way, some of the people here are closer than rl friends. Others feel like family to me. Ya gotta open up more to form those relationships, just like rl.
Just peeked at similar threads, this is from 04' - 'Anyone notice the declines of quality and intelligent posts around here?' It's a thing, it's been like this. Start posting more quality posts and encourage others to do the same, I always generally agree when I see you post, sometimes you even get a rl head nod! Appreciate you being here, never seen one shitpost from ya, actually.
Thanks man, that's very kind.
I don't really lament about the past, more reminisce. Good old days sort of thing. I do have some pretty solid friends on here, but I'm older now, less tolerant, maybe even more judgemental. Monkeys are monkeys after all and maybe I'm a little old for monkey business. That said I was part of a great forum that was mostly oldies, man I loved that place. Owner left the place rudderless and went to do whatever assholes do and it got hacked and spammed to death. My other favourite forum from way back got absorbed by FB and now has about 15 visitors a day, dead. Other one still is going well but I don't trip that hard anymore nor do so many extractions, guess that one is on me. Things just changed all around.
Hit me up on keybase if you have it though mate. My username is illogicalerror.

Overgrow was an awesome forum till the mounties seized it, but even there the politics forum was absolute madness, full of conspiracy theories and alt types. Drug forums are always going to have them, the very act of defying societal norms, by producing and consuming illicit substances, is why they are on those forums, it makes perfect sense that they subscribe to political and social theories outside the norm.
