Thank you. I always thought it was a funny phrase and was delighted it was available, so I took it.

Some people think so. That is the fallacy of the western world. And you know what? That’s okay.

I was an atheist once, but I found that it didn’t solve fundamental questions about life and existence. Religion tries to do that but just ends up being man-made fairy tales used to control the masses to follow rules that follow some kind of morals but just end up not making any sense. Eastern philosophy and philosophy as a whole is the next most logical step to take.

I highly recommend reading/listening to Alan Watts (you can find lectures and transcripts online for free). There are other schools of thought, but his teachings and understandings are pretty straight forward and easy to digest (keep in mind some of it is a bit dated, he passed in 1973).

Also, the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. Written for an emperor on how to rule and govern, the wisdom in it is very profound and can set you on the path to living a much more fulfilling life. For the most part, I now follow the Tao not as a religion but the natural flow of the universe, to a point I feel constantly in a state of “wu wei” (effortless action) which makes life so simple it feels like cheating.

Books I keep nearby:

• Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
• The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts
• The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts
• The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto
• The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung

I totally get it. It still runs great, but it’s showing its age, that’s for sure. I tried Enshrouded, but it was a slide show once I got out of the starter cave with lowest settings. At least it runs Satisfactory and that’s okay with me.

looks at my RX580 I got pre-Covid

softly Don’t.

I can’t wait to be disemboweled by a velociraptor. What a time to be alive!

What you’re using is conjecture, especially since there’s no actual evidence she did indeed take the aforementioned mushrooms. Her gathering tools are not evidence, merely coincidence.

“It seems someone had followed me, taken pictures of my car registration and passed them on to police.”

It could be that someone (possibly one of the volunteers) found this photogenic orange-haired girl suspicious, alas had no evidence that she did indeed take said mushrooms (no photos/videos, actual evidence), yet reported her anyways.

There is incomplete information in this story to form a logical conclusion or bias. Besides, the officer failed to enforce anything, especially as she never signed the agreement (the husband did, so it was rescinded).

I guess some people have nothing better to do than to make their business other people’s business. A gal with an interest in mycology isn’t a threat, and if she was, maybe it’s because the mushroom in question had Common Side Effects.

Money. It’s just a mechanism of control because those with the power to share never learned to do so. They’re the kids at the playground hogging the swing set while everyone else is getting wood chips kicked in their face. Humanity in a nutshell.

Maybe not humorous, but I hope it paints a picture.

About 55 hours. I took LSA (natural form of LSD, on blotter paper, this was an unusually long trip, and thinking back, I’m not sure what the fuck it was) with some friends, watched the sun rise and set twice in one “day”. We were tripping pretty heavily, moments of elation, vivid colors, near-constant euphoria (I don’t hallucinate typically). We rented a bunch of movies, played video games, horsed around in a playground after midnight, went went trout fishing, whatever we wanted. Smoked some good bud too but it really didn’t have the same effect while tripping. On the second sunrise, we of course ended up at a Denny’s for breakfast. Slept like a baby that entire day, woke up feeling refreshed. I literally had no negative effects, other than knowing I have permanently lost a day’s worth of sleep. Worth it.

I want to get off MR BONES WILD RIDE.

I stopped buying Apple products over 20 years ago. Got tired of proprietary hardware/software. And as Rick Sanchez once said: “That thing had uptight Zen snob germs all over it.”

Can’t get blood from a stone.

I’m gonna nope out of that, dawg.

I honestly believe these idiots that voted for Trump somehow thought that they would be immune to his policies. He doesn’t give a fuck about you.

Thalassophobia, aka fear of deep water. No problem being in a boat, but swimming in it is a no-go. I can swim in swimming pools, but the larger the body of water (ponds, lakes, ocean, etc) the larger the fear. I think it has something to do with not being able to see through the depth of the water? Strangely enough, the idea of being in space doesn’t bother me at all.

I also tried Subnautica (based on recommendations) like a dumbass, played it for 20 minutes and had a panic attack. Uninstalled!

You say that, but they just scrubbed the launch to save 4 lives. That’s saying something.

After watching two of their launches result in fireworks, I’d be concerned. I mean, imagine being the two in orbit being rescued by Musk. It’s a hard swallow.

Here’s my reverse ask: why are you asking if people remember something horrific? Don’t we have enough on our plates right now?

48 trans woman, about 6’1", I keep my hair armpit length. Long enough to curl some waves in or throw it into a ponytail. Very happy with it since I take good care of it without ever adding coloring or treatments.
