“And even the word “raptor” means… “Bird of prey””
The line delivery of so much of this film is stuck in my head.

Pshh. Yeah.
I have no idea how they passed and we accepted this concept of “Salary means we own you and your thoughts and ideas, labor laws basically don’t apply, and you never actually stop working.” Absolutely deranged.
It was probably pitched as such a great thing to employees, too, but I’ve always seen it as a scam.
(No judgment on you personally, of course, if somehow this affords you a good life balance!)
I’m also paycheck-to-paycheck with little in the way of advancement prospects unless one of my creative projects lands. So I’m not exactly writing as a sage of material success or anything 😂.

Companies will begrudgingly give you the bare minimum they’re mandated to, and pretend you’re only getting it out of their sheer appreciation and benevolence.
Maddening.

At first I was a little annoyed by the change of “Revolt” messenger to “Stoat.”
…I like it better now!

That is very educational, more than I was hoping for. Thank you!
I’ve heard that saying over and over throughout my life, too, (by laymen, never actual electricians lol) and I was always confused by it.
I was always trying to think “Okay is there some crazy high-voltage-low-amperage shock source you can sustain and be fine?” I guess I thought the difference was between something like, a taser vs. a home electrical socket.

Mine is “if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.”
Why’d you pick yours, specifically? Lol

Got a cheap bluetooth/2.5Ghz trackball for my laptop, and wow, those are SO nice when you don’t have a lot of space to work with.
I hope some mid-level enthusiast trackballs that aren’t ridiculously boutique become a thing soon haha.

I dunno if I’d call this hallucination, although I get what you’re saying and I agree with you! But wouldn’t “interpretation” be a more apt description?
If someone is seeing a message out of this very text, rather than the strict “material reality” of each individual letter just being an arbitrary glyhph, or each pixel, or each little diode or electron forming those pixels…
…to call this miraculous level of ascribing meaning “hallucinating” seems a disservice right?
Your comment just brought me a lot of wonder and awe, because you’re right, our brains’ wiring to tell stories and weave concepts and interpret the world around us in a way that’s useful, and beautiful, is a wonderful part of being alive and setting us apart from mere machines, rather than simply a feed of raw unfiltered data input from the world around us “as it is.”
Truly marvelous. :D

Oh, they just…saw more beauty and wonder in things most folks consider ordinary? That doesn’t sound so bad, actually. XD
I don’t remember more, sorry ^^
Haha all good. Thanks for replying. :)

Admittedly I haven’t done a lot of deep diving on it, but what kinds of personality changes did you observe? I haven’t heard a lot of testimony like this around psychedelics. Mostly just people praising them.

Yo, homie, 👋
I wasn’t trying to “um akshully” you, I was legit just trying to contribute to the conversation for others who were interested.
Thanks for the link and sincerely wishing you the chillest day, though. <3

LOL yeah. Stuff actually grows in tropical regions! :p
I’m happy for you there. (Although I imagine pest control gets interesting haha)
Southwestern U.S desert? Yeah, another story. Hydroponics are basically the best bet for your typical suburbia-dweller, I think.

LOL! 😂
Sure thing! 🤗

You nailed it here! :)
Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.
A classic joke:
“Let’s eat grandma!”
“Let’s eat, grandma!”
“Commas save lives!”
😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)

That’s so freaking sad. No wonder I’ve noticed all these placards at every medical establishment now that say “We will not tolerate any aggression towards our staff.”
I hope they enforce the notion, but I’m so sad such a sign is necessary in the first place.
- Comment on To USB, or not to USB 3 months ago:
So true. It’s so insidious because there’s that vague hope that there’s a tiny chance he finds it and never goes back to work, or whatever.
It’s right there, balanced just at the end of his fingertips over the gaping maw of madness, like Indie in the Last Crusade reaching for the Holy Grail.
He needs that kindly father figure to tell him
“Lett et gohh, Shon…”
- Comment on To USB, or not to USB 3 months ago:
One of the classic blunders!
… Unless they’re using an airgapped device or carefully sandboxed VM (even still lol) to satisfy that curiosity.
Ugh I admit I’d be curious lol.
- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 3 months ago:
Cool. I agree. Was just covering my butt online, I suppose.
Especially because I don’t want to come off as anti-education or anti-intellectual, but the gatekeepers to that education are so beyond corrupt at this point.
- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 3 months ago:
Ha! What an odd coincidence, and yet I’m not surprised!
Well, for the record, the webcomic cat would do things like get distracted and lose mousey toys during surgery, and I’d still trust him over Oprah’s favorite daytime human scat commentator. Lol
Best of luck on your journey engineering the perfect diss joke. XD
