I know, but let me have my happy thoughts.

That does seem less than optimal, doesn't it?

Now, forcing him to take auyahausca with a real hard ass of a shaman to confront him might have utility. Then, maybe he should have to live a life of service. Cleaning and caring for the elderly and infirm in a third world slum, some of his billions could be used to pay to have this be supervised.

That might be good.

Wow. That's pretty warped. It sounds joyless and isolating.

I enjoy my meat suit and find joy in the meat suits of others.

If this is actually your worldview and not just you concern trolling, I recommend you seek some counseling. I say this with respect and concern.

No doubt! They are powerful medicine and should be used with guidance, especially at first.

I really like the trip guide method. An experienced person can shepard a person or small group through a trip. There is counseling before hand, maybe goals or problems to be considered during, counseling/discussion in the weeks afterwards. Screen for familial psychosis/schizoid disorders.

Medicine that should be respected, not really something to party with.

Boo. Gender differences are part of the human condition and can be funny. You just have to let it not slide into misogyny or misandry.

Hang out with some drag queens, if you don't find their gendered humor funny, you need to have a think about your worldview.

Also, cis-het is naturally the majority of people. They are going to find humor in their shared gender differences.

Your cat appears to malfunctioning or maybe stoned. You may want to return it to the factory for service.

The 12 horse noxious fume generator got me.

I'm in these pictures and I accept it.

Goddam. That's an old, big, reamer. Looks like it's for hand reaming wood. Modern reamers for metal are very different.

The funny thing is, that's the perfect tool to ream a bunghole for a good fit for a plug.

Those are true, non-addictive, psychedelics and the world would be a better place if more people were given them with a proper guide. Ketamine is significantly different and addictive.

Deleted. Weird edit duplicate.

I'm sorry for your loss. They murdered your mother for profit and it enrages me. I've personally suffered at the bloody hands of the insurance companies as well. The insurance companies fill me with a cold deep rage. I hope all their leaders know fear before they come to their end.

I have kids as well. I'm no longer religious but I believe in Saint Luigi and pray that others are inspired by his noble actions. Truly.

If you're willing, please share the name of the insurance company and the CEO that murdered your mother for money.

I had to order medication using crypto off a darket once, anti depressants for a loved one. I used something crazy like Kali on a cheap flash drive. It worked just fine and I felt like Hackerman.

My acid days are long gone. Psychedelics in general, actually. Mushrooms learned me enough and were a good teacher.

I only made it through like one season of Handmaid's Tale, it was too real.

Yes and no, I think.

Totally get the draw of simpler and slower paced life with fewer distractions, clear responsibilities, greater self reliance, comprehensible social and technological world...

Small pox, tuberculosis, black lung, crazy uncle locked in the woodshed, whipping and beating of children and women, pervasive religion, famines, limited food choices in winter, illiteracy, and wool underwear: not so much.

I guess everything is a trade off; but, humans certainly didn't evolve to live in a society this complex.

I think we'd be much happier living in small interconnected communes of less than 100. Most agrarian, with some dedicated to manufacturing or medicine or whatever. Stable and smaller population size. Don't know if we could produce microchips, chemical synthesis, satellites, and high tech modern staples. Maybe we could. Sounds like heaven.

This is what happens when you don't use crypto as god intended: purchasing medication from India and subscriptions to indexers.

Purchase Bitcoin right before purchase. Watch the spare change left over go up and down and imagine all the millions you could be winning or losing.

Huh. Neat! Seems like a labor intensive way to produce hay, guess modern baleing technology has made them obsolete. (By modern, I think square hay balers happened in 18XX sometime and were horse or mule drawn.) Probably was real expensive until sometime last century.

Got a picture of a millstone I recently found but Lemmy isn't letting me upload it right now. I love old tech.

Is the grass for livestock bedding or roof thatching? Wouldn't think it would be enough for hay/feeding.

Those lesser traveled locations probably have lower rates of vandalism. Also, lower budgets, glass is cheaper than acrylic or polycarb.

Crazy. That's effectively prohibition, and we all know what that does to black and grey markets.

I have given up on trying to fight my nicotine addiction. Vape with homemade liquid because I'm cheap and I want to know what's in it. Smoke pipes and occasionally a cigar as I really love tobacco. May grow my own tobacco at some point just to play with it. (From the US)

Anyhow, potato vines contain useful amounts of nicotine that can be extracted and used in e-liquid. Atomizers can be easily made from nichrome wire. If you can't get it direct, guitar strings can be a source of wire after burn off. Vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol are easy to get anywhere.

Holy shit! At that point, you could probably turn a profit growing shitty tobacco in a greenhouse and selling it black market.
