  • I could have worded that better. It wasn't my first time. I took some family and it was their first time.

  • Anecdotal evidence. I went to early vote on Thursday, afternoon timeframe. It was busy for early voting. I was surprised. There was only like a 5-10 min wait, but still for early voting on a Thursday? A lot of the people verify information were announcing 1st time voters for people to clap. I probably heard it 4 times during that 10 mins. 1 of the first time voters was with me, so that might skew the data but still.

  • Probably so they have a defense when Nintendo sends a cease and desist order for using their logo.

  • Disclaimer: I'm not an murderer of step children, but .... If I were to commit an illegal act and had evidence of it, I wouldn't just leave frozen hands and a head around. It would make the most sense to me that he moved it around with him.

  • No the problem is you need to define valid for everyone else. You not liking a valid reason doesn't make it less valid. Clearly this word means something different to you in this context.

  • I already said that the Dems believe they can court some of the pro-frack without losing the anit-fracks. I think this is wrong, but that's why they are doing this.

    You just don't agree with the strategy, but it's still the answer.

  • That's the point of switching to pro-frack?

  • I'm assuming the Dems think those 58% anti-fracks are going to vote for them anyway. The Dems are trying (as they always do and fail) to court some of the 42% that might be pro-frack and anti-trump.

  • Starfox is the game that had the 'do a barrel roll' saying on the tutorial level. Google made the Easter egg in their search engine, one of many Easter eggs.

  • In a row?

  • You can't just use keywords anymore because every site out there is actively exploiting that system.

    Ahh Goodhart's Law strikes again.

  • Thanks for the correction and link. It's been awhile since I've seen the episode.

  • I figured after I started typing, but figured my thoughts on tires remained the same and just went with it. 130 mph is still too fast. My old car only got up to 100 back in the day.

  • 210 is crazy. You're lucky your tires didn't pop. Your engine might go that high, but most tires aren't rated for that much friction.

  • What OhVenus_Baby said has good info that I would agree with. I would also add that it comes it waves. You'll feel the effects intensely and then it will ease up a bit. Write down things (ideas, past trauma, reasons for your behavior) that you would like to think on. I would say think about it really hard before hand and try not to think about it the day of the trip. Your subconscious will be already on it.

    Think about mood and setting. Some music without lyrics was good for me. I ended up listening to some orchestra covers of Tool. Lofi beats were good too. I also found some video of a POV walking on the beach and watching the waves.

    Also draw and doodle with your paper. It looked cool to make the lines. Some people will tell you to stay inside, at least for your first experience. I went out my first time on shrooms and it was great. I walked in the grass and found a pine cone. Your experience may very. If you feel weird about tripping that day then skip it till you do. Let the universe tell you when it feels right.

    As far as the rewiring or after effects....it may take a day or 2 to fully fill changes cementing. You'll have a lot of thoughts. That's why doodling helps me represent my feeling or thoughts on a subject.

    The rewire part is like just giving you a different perspective. You might always smoke a cigarette after lunch. That is your normal routine. You don't even think about it. After you eat you last bite, you hands automatically move to the smokes and you move to the door. You are following this path because it is so routine that there is comfort in it. Even if you want to stop. Your body craves the familiar routine. After tripping, it's like your mind shakes an etch-a-sketch and erases the lines. Or it was tire paths in snow and now shrooms cause a new snow to fall and you don't know the old path.

    Trips give some people perspective so they can close old painful wounds. After we learn from events, it's good to close the chapter so we don't get dragged down by it. Many people can't see that there is another path, you just got to make it. Again not everyone. Just me and many others experience.

  • Ouch. I know I'm old and people fall out of the collective zeitgeist, but he is worth a look into. Anthony Bourdain. He's a chef that became an "influencer" though I think he would hate it if I described him as such. He wrote books about kitchen life and doing drugs and waking up on the beach in New Jersey and not knowing how he got there. Having to figure out a way back to New York for his night shift.

    He's been to so many countries that if you're curious about any random one then one of his many shows has an episode for you. He goes into the not only the food, but local scene, night life, and history.

    He was very famous and had many food and travel shows. Had an episode where he had a meal with Obama in South Korea Vietnam. (Thank you Wav_function). He has a nice way of speaking and uses words I like.

    His tale ended tragically in a hotel room while he was working on another show.

  • It's everywhere. Anytime I see a 4 panel comic, I start looking for signs. It's normally 1 person panel, 2 people, 2 people, 1 stand and 1 lying down. Someone posted how to type it in text the other day.

    :.|:;

    It's colon, period, straight line, colon, semicolon >then highlight and strike-through.

  • I've been called and texted a bunch. I only answered 1 call last night and answered their polling. I should have mentioned Lemmy and the fediverse and the only place I get my news, so they would focus more on it, but I didn't think about it in time.
