Could you explain your experience?

It’s a passive part of my active thought process. Sometimes it results from something I’m doing in the moment while stoned (i.e. listening to a conversation), other times it is just me pondering something that happened to me previously. My brain identifies new potential reasons and motivations for what I’m witnessing or thinking about. Most of the time i can dismiss an observation because logically it doesn’t matter or make sense… Presumably that’s what my subconscious is doing behind the scenes when I’m sober, filtering out the illogical. But every once in a while i consider something my subconscious would have ignored that seems logical. It’s particularly helpful in understanding the motivations or assumptions of others. I think i am better at reading people and understanding their point of view because of it.

For me it opens up possibilities that my sober brain doesn’t consider because my sober brain filters and edits things based on assumptions. So i sometimes miss details when sober because my subconscious brain dismissed those details as unimportant. Most of the time, that filtering process is a positive part of decision-making. I should be ignoring certain variables because knowledge and experience identified those details as a waste of time. However, on weed, i consider things i wouldn’t have considered because that filtering process is lessened. So most of my stoned thoughts are worthless, but every once in a while i realize something that i was missing because my brain was ignoring that important detail when sober. It’s great when I haven’t been able to figure out that day’s Wordle…or i realize why someone was pissed at me.

A super smart spider bro that just wants to eat your pests…

The “authoritarian crackdowns” are not entirely an American byproduct… It’s a product of capitalism. The billionaires aren’t moving to Honduras. So long as the global economy is either euro or asiatic-centric (aka where the money/power lives), the global south will continue to be the capitalists’ playground.

Mediation. The practice focuses, in part, on training you to avoid persistent thoughts and staying present.

Having lived in Memphis, TN (the Western most point of the"pan"), I always wondered why i sometimes woke up with the taste of chef dick in my mouth.

That’s definitely something an autist would say!!! We found them, boys!!!

What is the blame we should place on them? The whole point of science is that shitty theories and great theories live in the same space. They’re then evaluated by the collective body of scientists based upon the results of their tests. Eventually the shitty hypotheses dies off. No one is ever supposed to rely upon one study or even a few studies. It should take years and many studies before the results or conclusions should be relied upon by non-scientists.

So the blame is likely borne by a combination of the education system (explaining the importance of repeated scientific evaluation), the pervasiveness of lay “scientists” and *philosophers relying upon social media and other unreliable sources for their data, and the greater access that a random non-scientists have to studies that would normally be buried by time. Then you have people reaching their own conclusion and just finding a random study that supports that conclusion. That’s the exact opposite of what the scientific method requires. The push by conservatives over the last few decades to erode scientific education (i.e creationism) is probably more likely to blame than any one scientist, doctor or certainly the medical/scientific community.

Your take is so weak. The “yanks” lost the election because of disinformation campaigns and low information voters. By placating fascist political action, all you are is delaying the inevitable decline of civilization. You’re a frog sitting in a warming pot complimenting the relaxing pond.

Honestly, this has been a great year for games. The past 5 years have been pretty great.

Sounds like Trump personally wrote the taking points in crayon.

I didn’t answer a question. I commented on the use of the term “bad shit” in reference to a question to op.

"bad shit’ is relative. Who among us are without sin? I think conflating the CEO of a local retail business with CEO of a national company specializing in collecting medical debt is not healthy to increasing support for systemic change. Could the local ceo pay the cashier’s more? probably… But so could small business owners in general. Should we get mad at someone for choosing a repair person that charges less for a job? Why not pay someone else more for their labor? How much more? Pretty soon the finger pointing is so ubiquitous it’s irrelevant.

Explain a $10k reward that is being advertised with the picture that you’re trying to say shouldn’t be posted? Stop being ridiculous. Are you being serious? You’re just trolling right?

I’m sure that if people stop posting the photo the police are going to forget that they have a photo of his face…

I am going to assume you are high or were under the influence of something when you posted this.

I’m just responding to your comment. If you were only talking about encryption, then maybe word your comment more clearly… Especially if you want to cast aspersions towards other about staying on topic.

Only if you look at it in the most general, limited, pov. Are they the same people on corporate greed? Not all, but mostly yes. Are they the same people on encryption? Yes. Are they the same on human rights? Absolutely fucking not. If the only thing important for you is encryption, voting isn’t going to change the government’s policy decisions. However, if things other than encryption and corporate greed are important, then voting for a Republican is voting against your interests. History is filled with people who can’t see past their own fucking biases and look out for the greater interest… So you have a lot of historical company.

Not my comment

Huh? What point are you making in asking the question? Their point seems crystal to me.
