Can't wait for this movie

Yes I got stoned and used AI to make my thoughts deal with it

Does acid permanently change how weed effects you?

I get way more stoned when I get stoned than any of my friends. The only difference is I've taken acid a few times and they haven't. It was several years ago, and I noticed in the weeks that followed weed hit me way the fuck harder. Does that last forever?

Political Discussions @lemmy.world AbsoluteChicagoDog @lemm.ee

Let the record show that Democrat's favorite excuse "3rd party voters" was not the cause of their utter defeat.

I want people to remember this one because we've heard this rhetoric over and over. That if people only didn't vote for 3rd parties everything would be better.

Well that happened. And Democrats still shit the bed.

What's the solution? Can Democrats even be salvaged at this point? No clue. But I want the record to be clear for the next election when they bring this excuse out again.

Either Democrats actually become leftists or we get a party that will.

I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet?

Let's say I decide I've had enough with this whole Federation business and that humanity would be better represented by a Starfleet that follows my particular ideology. Assuming I could get enough people for crew and support, why can't I start my own Starfleet?

I could replicate ship parts until I have a couple vessels. Go to new worlds and present myself as the official first contact of humanity. I could fly to Vulcan or Bajor and tell them no actually my organization represents humanity.

What's going to stop me?

The most annoying thing about younger people is they c*nsor themselves

Censorship is a real problem, but you don't have to embrace it. That's just making the problem worse.

Does getting high a bunch change how it effects you?

Found myself in a pretty terrible place mental health wise for a few years. Every day after work was 20-60mg edibles, a bowl or three, and vaping. I did this with some incredibly toxic people.

I'm back on track with my life now and only smoke occasionally. But now when I get high I just fucking panic. I'm talking one single joint and I'm in full blown stoned panic. It's not eating junk food and laughing at stupid movies any more. It's being terrified that everyone hates me and that I'm wasting my life and stressing about climate change the increasingly fascist government. I literally cannot relax when I'm high any more.

Is this a thing that happens? How do I go back to a happy high?

backpacking @lemmy.world AbsoluteChicagoDog @lemm.ee

Has anyone used Star Link while hiking? How did it go?

Wondering if it's a viable option or if the power requirements ruin it.

If you're just going to comment about how backpacking is better without interest, don't bother. I'm looking for people who have used the internet while backpacking, not and argument.

Unpopular opinion: 73 Yards makes no sense

The episode starts with the Doctor stepping into a fairy circle, causing him to vanish and locking the Tardis. I'm not a huge fan of this season's "magic is real" vibe, but so far it tracks.

A woman appears and follows Ruby around. She ends up in a pub where she asks about the fairy circle. After a long build up explaining just how serious the fairy circle is, it turns out no that's just racist. Pretty funny, and it works with the magic theme. So how does the fairy circle actually work then? No fucking clue, they never explain it. As far as I can tell it just exists for this bit.

So this woman makes everyone near her hate Ruby. Everyone. Why? Who fucking knows. They never explain why. It just does. It leads up to a politician getting scared and ruining his career. Again pretty clever. But again no explanation is ever given as to how or why this happens.

Then Ruby dies. And when she dies she becomes the scary woman. Then she goes back in time. How? Why? No idea. It just happens and you gotta deal with it.

So apparently the Doctor stepping on a fairy circle that doesn't do anything makes him vanish for no reason, creates an old copy of Ruby that follows her around for no reason, who scares everyone for no reason, then when Ruby dies undoes everything for no reason.

This. Makes. No. Sense.

Anyone use DCU with ynab? Or can you recommend another online credit union?

Would love to switch to a credit union, but I travel a lot and most are regional. DCU seems decent but does it work with ynab? I don't want to manually enter everything.

How is the US able to instantly stop an attack from Iran but powerless when Israel attacks hospitals?

I'm missing something here. Admittedly, I'm making the assumption that blowing up hospitals is a bad thing to do.

How to deal with living in a world with no future without being high 24/7?

Been high nonstop for years. I realize it's bad for my health. But at least being high feels good.

My future is on a planet becoming increasingly unhabitable, under a government becoming increasingly fascist, doing nothing but working and still not being able to afford rent or food, never traveling, never making real friends much less finding a life partner, water quickly becoming a luxury, and with zero chance of ever retiring.

So why even bother?

Someone should release Discovery with all the speeches removed

Would make the show watchable and cut like half the time.

People who think sovereign citizen beliefs are weird have never had to memorize a carefully worded script to survive a police encounter.

Using specific words and phrasing with the government to get a desirable outcome is literally what some of us have to do with the police.
