For those interested, here's an overview of punitive psychiatryv history and practices. The video is in Ukrainian, but subtitles are available in English.
Aber das macht dir nicht wieder depressiv, oder? Schau mal, noch eine wunderbare Heilung! /s

- Ripburger, you're dummier than dirt!
- Oh, Mr Corley. If only you'd listen to my plan - my vision.
- I know your plan, Rip. You're waiting for me to die so you can take over my company.
Been there done that, in a moshpit while Brujeria were blasting Brujerismo. Ahh what a memory.
I wonder why 'gopnik politics' isn't a real term yet.
Yeah but with significantly less blackjack and hookers and significantly more foreskins. Cause you didn't think there was only one foreskin on display for all those pilgrims, did you?
Few weeks ago I read up on A. Muscaria, picked up a couple in a local forest, decarboxydized them in an oven and drank tea with 4g of (poorly) dried mushroom. 3 days before sleep.
Holy mother of fungi, it's like having an antidepressant that, you know, works. Deep sleep duration increased from 10 to 19%. Walking up in the morning felt normal. Weed consumption dropped roughly by half.
Only after three evenings, effects are felt four days after, although waining.

Ah, another non mainstream source of inspirational knowledge is the Blindboy Boatclub podcast.

Happiness is not found. It's not an object, rather a state of perception. The more you'll objectify and discretize happiness, the less likely you're to achieve it.
That being said, usually drugs.
On a serious note, two books helped me to understand this mystery a bit more
- Zen Mind, beginner's mind by S. Suzuki
- Flow: the psychology of optimal experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Now that you say that, average us candy bar contains 200..250 kcal a piece. That's about 1/7th of BMR of an average healthy male.
Just as Christianity is not a unified church, and is divided into Orthodox, Protestants, Catholics, evangelists, Baptists, and the bazillion of other denominations, Buddhism is very different ranging from extreme practices of Shingon sect, to a very practical philosophy of Dogen's Zen Buddhism.
Buddhism is many things, and religion as well.
Or, or! You drop 3 to become 47 states in their prime. Which would you pick?
Texas, Florida, South Dakota (just to fuck around).
