JTode,

-i live in the country, power outages happen, I cannot reliably prevent things from turning on all at once.

-my other mixers make noise when turned on, but they are not loud enough to kill speakers; even so I do try to turn things on in the proper order. This one is dangerously exceptional and won’t be used if this can’t be fixed.

JTode,

There’s some reckless recommendations to try psychedelics in here; be cautious with things classified under that name, because there are some VERY nasty chemicals getting pumped out by mafia chemists (some of whom work for large pharma corporations) and pushed under the name of relatively benign substances.

So first off, be sure you know what chemical is actually in the specific pill/blotter/tab you are considering eating.

Second, once you know what you’re dealing with, understand the cautions and protocols involved in using that particular one. I won’t start rattling them off, the information is out there.

That being said, a gram of mushrooms is safe for nearly everyone of normal adult physiology, and it’s pretty easy to tell if you’re looking at and gagging on mushrooms.

I was severely depressed at one point a couple decades ago and a chocolate containing a couple grams of mushrooms at a Folk Festival pulled me out of it for a good while and filled my head with thoughts of what was possible rather than what was not.

If you don’t smoke weed, try smoking some weed, if it’s safe to do where you are. It’s more of a momentary thing and if you don’t like it, most folks can handle waiting it out. This video is perfect for that situation, IMO. It can definitely be a heavy thing if you go too far too soon, but you’ll come back fine with a story to tell, or to never tell.

The more general proposition, which is that these chemicals can kinda shake you loose mentally, is true, but whether that is a good or a bad thing depends on who you are, how in control and confident you feel about life and the world, your immediate environment when you are on them (many end up taking these drugs at noisy parties full of drunkards, which are not the best places to be tripping balls), and many other factors.

For instance, your talk of the adult mask vs the child you cannot find might be exactly what’s happening, or it might be words you’ve put on some other mental block or bit of cognitive dissonance which you do not yourself understand yet. If that were the case, it would be quite possible for a dose of psychedelics to cause your mind to completely drop the veil of delusion, and cause you to look at that reality in the flash of a moment, with no time to mentally prepare for it, and that can be a terrifying experience for some, when reality intrudes on something that they didn’t realize was foundational to their understand of the world, and vulnerable in that way.

The long term effects of such an experience can likewise be very good, very bad, or completely neutral. We all have these masses of jelly inside our skulls and actually we are those masses of jelly.

JTode,

Freudian leak?

JTode,

Good thing they got rid of all those pesky regulations or the poors would be using the power.

JTode,

I look forward to his mugshot.

JTode,

I wish I could watch the exploding heads at the NRA right now…

JTode,

Dude, from a much more privileged place, please, enjoy your movies and bring yourself all the happy moments you can get.

JTode,

Hey everyone, go drink a cool glass of water and think about the last time you laughed so hard you were afraid you’d either puke or pass out. Have fun!

Bernie Sanders says President Biden will win in 2024 if he runs on a "strong progressive agenda" (www.cbsnews.com)

With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign....

JTode,

Hey everyone, go outside and find some grass and take your shoes off and put your feet in it. Stand there for a minute or two and just feel the grass on your feet. Have fun!

JTode,

Unless I’m greatly misunderstanding the last panel, meme is also wrong.

JTode,

The point that is being made, though, is that those things that do have value that exist in his writing, did not originate from him and are available elsewhere to the point of ubiquity. If you only heard about them from him, you should read more.

JTode,

This is why I’ve kinda stopped consuming other people’s political writing, and only shitcomment about it. People of all stripes cannot resist the urge to make the story just a liiiiiitle better.

JTode,

I do my best, when I see an intellectual huckster, to point at it and call it what it is.

Those who are taken in by hucksters have a tendency to dig in about it, and that’s not my business.

JTode,

No time for love, Dr. Jones. Don’t you need to clean your room or something?

JTode,

It’s mostly about using every last one of the cpu cycles efficiently, which is old school think from the days when 640k was supposed to be enough for anyone. When I was a wee tyke in the 8bit era we had machines that did graphics, but they were for launching games from a terminal/console.

There are many servers with GUIs, primarily Windows servers, and there’s probably web or GUI interfaces available for every useful service you can run which will be handy in some contexts, but there’s a kind of speed and simplicity you can get with a good console that no gui can touch. Hard to explain unless you’ve done some work.

JTode,

51, I can drive a semi, but before I took some training for that I learned on a standard from my grandma.

JTode,

I will be one of many saying this: if you want to self-host you need to learn Linux. It can be done, but this is not like taking a pottery class and you don’t really get to show anyone, the only people who will understand are people who are also able to do what you do. It’s rewarding on many levels, but pleasure and sociality are not among those rewards. :>

JTode,

People can help you, but there is a way to ask, and learning how to ask is part of learning the OS. We are fascinated by problems actually.

The problem is that people come and say things like “I tried to setup a fleegbat server and it doesn’t work!” and so for the helper it becomes a process of pulling the information out of the asker in a long and painful process of interaction and we just move on. Users who say things like “here is the error message I’m getting when I try to start up my fleegbo server, anyone understand this?” get way better help.

Those who really want to learn it come to understand these things, those who just want to do something neat and not work their ass off will complain that it’s too hard.

Those who do the work are rewarded in many ways. I drove a dump truck ten years ago, now I make twice what I used to, working with people who aren’t racist sacks of shit. They were my motivator to learn, I was tired of being among pigs every day.

JTode,

We have been huffing capitalist poppers while banging economic steroids for decades in order to sustain the conceit that Socialism Bad Rich People Know Best

Stop huffing the poppers and stop voting for the steroids. Vote NDP.

JTode,

Let’s get them in just once and see. In the meantime, they are a black box as far as how they would govern, and yet, everyone keeps choosing the turd sandwich or the giant douche.

JTode,

Transplants are incredibly strict about you not just wanting to live, but doing everything you can in order to live. It is good that the transplant went to someone with a sense of self-preservation. Utter waste on the likes of her.

JTode,

I must be the fortieth to advise you to install Linux.

JTode,

I assume you support the current and recent direction of Israeli politics; as you look into the future, how do you see this playing out, as the USA empire continues to fade in power? When does some sort of social equilibrium return to the region, and what has happened before it does?

But I’m also confused by a few of your statements.

" in a democratic state, the world will decide "

In a democratic state, the citizens of that state decide things. And again, you seem to be a democratic state at the moment. The world will have opinions - and boy, does the world have opinions about Israel right now. The christian right has traditionally used you as a weird combination tolerance prop/prophecy tool but lately their nazi side is just bursting forward so they’re falling back on the old bigotries and frankly, I doubt the USA is gonna have your back much longer no matter who gets in on what timeline.

“The gaza strip [voted] for Hamas[.] Perhaps they were not true democratic elections”

Perhaps yours aren’t either. Perhaps ours aren’t. Who’s to say? Well, other than international rights organizations whose job is to investigate that sort of thing. I wonder what they’ve got to say about you guys. But them voting Hamas doesn’t seem any different than you voting Netanyahu, from my perspective. You’ve both settled into a pattern of trenchant mutual vendetta at this point and that’s a real bastard of a situation to get out of. Not that you seem particularly interested in getting out of it.

My country’s genocide record is already rich and deep so none of what I’m saying is coming from a place of feeling superior; white euros like myself are a pretty nasty bunch. Just because we’ve got some distance from it doesn’t mean the world doesn’t remember, or see it clearly for what it is, from outside the bunker of war and propaganda.

They’ll remember you too.

JTode,

Fuck around and find out.
