  • I was working in a European branch of a SF based private company. It’s a company that tries really hard to have good optics everywhere, from being listed as PBC down to “support and inclusion” talks.

    US employees officially had “unlimited” vacation days, European had 25. Plus the company has a practice of giving an extra Friday off once a month, plus few days for Christmas break plus one year there was a week of summer break.

    That year with a summer break employees in Europe got over 40 days of vacation. 35…37 without it. Plus bank holidays and sick leaves.

    I was freaking out after learning that US employees with the unlimited time off were getting under 20. Whenever an employee was using more than 15 vacation days a year, they were presented with an inquiring interview from their manager trying to figure out why they need so much rest.

    US has no work culture, it’s exploitation.

    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.

    I’m just a noise on the Internet, my words are worth nothing. But read up on the mushroom, it’s definitely something different from what people think it is.
