The yin yang duality of day/night and hot/cold is so hilarious to me every time. You're the greatest mind ever but you don't know about the existence of twilight or room temperature?
requiring accounts to be >30 days old and have >100 or so karma saved us a lot of work. E.g., it made ban evasion a little harder to do, and reduced brigading.
Counter-point: Requirements such as these were the reason repost/copy-paste bots were getting so rampant on Reddit.
They also pay farmers not to grow crops if they're afraid a surplus will negatively affect the market.
Major Major's father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down. His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said, “Amen.
LMAO Twitter's community has been the cesspool of the internet for ages now and everybody knows it. "On Twitter YOU can be real, as long as you're real straight, cis "non-transgendered", and far right.
This comment hit the nail on the head. It's no big deal to spend an evening after work getting high and watching movies. But then it becomes every evening. Now you can't deal with daily life if you don't get to smoke between work shifts. Maybe you show up to work high to take the edge off. Now you're high all the time and being sober feels weird. Spending all your time just sort of floating in a dream because being high is your default state now.
Everything becomes more effort so you just stop bothering. Playing an instrument? This requires too much focus. I'm gonna go lay down on the couch. Socializing? I'm too high to drive, I'll stay home today (man I'm so freaking lonely). It really truly is a trade-off where you sacrifice a fulfilling life for an easily tolerated one. At some point you start to realize this and increase your intake to try to make those uneasy thoughts go away.
I'm pretty sure there's some weird stuff going on right now because of the world/blahaj hack. I'm having trouble replying to your original comment. But to clarify - I meant that when I quit THC I'll usually feel pretty nauseous the next couple days. The flip side being if I'm feeling sick but need to force something down, a few puffs makes it much easier to do so.
I recall watching a video about the nature of how things are stored at Amazon warehouses - basically if there are multiple sellers offering the same item it all goes in the same bin. Even if you are providing a genuine product, there's a very good chance one of the other sellers is not, and that counterfeit gets sent out attached to your seller ID. Then you get a complaint for selling a counterfeit item someone else provided.
Then when that seller is caught and booted, they just register another trademark with 5-10 random characters and do it again. This is causing a massive headache for the US Trademark Office as well.
Similar mindset has been ruining video games lately. "You can see every pimple and bead of sweat on their face!" Cool, how does it run on a budget PC? "...just look at that hair! If you squint it doesn't look like steel wool at all!"
Not OP but I'm finding it more intuitive. I come from RIF and I feel the experience is similar to that. I was spending a ton of time on Jerboa just figuring out where the heck things were.
They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. Because it is believed that the records are encoded vibrationally into the inherent fabric of space, some have likened the mechanism as similar to how holograms are created.
