I miss the cheap ass ditch weed of my youth. My tolerance is insanely low. One hit of anything nowadays and I’m too stoned and hate it :(

Cannot believe I’m only now finding your channel! Watching the video as I type this, looking forward to the hasparat video, I’ve wanted to try it for years!
- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 4 days ago:
I’m also 35, and I remember the red ones. But my mom ate a lot of pistachios and sunflower seeds when she quit smoking in the mid 90s
- Comment on Fellow Lemms, have you heard of our Lord? 4 days ago:
The only who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
- Comment on Fellow Lemms, have you heard of our Lord? 5 days ago:
Is this real? I could really use a prayer buddy right about now. Someone who could pray at me real fast. Fast and rough prayer. The kind of fast and rough prayer that makes it hard to walk tomorrow
- Comment on PB&J 1 week ago:
… That’s not an actual episode… Right?
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 3 weeks ago:
Same conclusion I came to. It’s why I haven’t gotten very far in. I generally only play games for about an hour or so before bed, and it requires too much attention to be able to do that, so it was back to desperate housewives and cross stitch before bed
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 3 weeks ago:
Most recent game I loved was disco Elysium. Didn’t get very far in, but I absolutely loved playing it
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 3 weeks ago:
That’s me, but in a wildly different direction. Lol. I wanted to a be “gamer” so badly, because I enjoy story telling, puzzles, exciting worlds, all that jazz. But I figured out years ago, I’m just not that into most games. “Go kill these dudes/monsters/whatevers that want you dead” just isn’t a thing I can get into easily, so I found the games I like, which are generally not gamer-y games, and I play them to my heart’s content. And I’ll try other things, because you should always strive to try things you think you won’t like… But I’ve found what I like, and I mainly stick to it.
That is, when I actually have the time to play games and don’t choose TV or an audiobook+embroidery as my wind down routine
- Comment on Children are a gift from someone 1 month ago:
Yeah, Little Man is the best baby. I can’t wait until I get to see him again. I know everyone thinks the kid in their family is special and whatnot, but I swear, that kids a born scientist. If nurtured, he’s gonna be amazing at whatever he sets out to do
- Comment on Children are a gift from someone 1 month ago:
My nephew is so cool. He’s 20 months, and if he picks something up he shouldn’t have, or if you need him to stop doing something, you can just hold your hand out for it and say “let me have that” or tell him “you gotta stop, buddy” and he just fucking does it. Sometimes he gets this look like “damn, they caught me!” And he just moves on to the next thing, and never cries about it or anything. He’s the happiest, sweetest baby I’ve ever seen, and it’s genuinely scary how smart he can seem at times
- Comment on A complete tier list for our solar system 1 month ago:
I think we need a new category that includes dwarf planets and moons, but does not include gas giants and anything too small to have an atmosphere. Basically a “could be terraformed in a sci-fi novel” category.
- Comment on I can still smell them 1 month ago:
We did the same thing, but I was the smart dumbass who knew that’s how you lose fingers, so I had us hide behind a board and drop a bowling ball into it. It cracked the fucking ball! My parents were livid
- Comment on The Wall People 1 month ago:
Ha! I love that joke at the end.
It is tough being AMAB and loving the caring aspects of life. It’s as if the world sees you as a predator, and inside you’re just wanting to protect and love and care. It’s sad :(
- Comment on The Wall People 1 month ago:
God, it’s remarkable how similar that is to me. I’m not ace, and I’m only NB in secret, but holy shit. Same. My dad’s reaction was less awful, though
- Comment on It's called traditional medicine sweety, look it up 1 month ago:
I’d be down to try that cough syrup
- Comment on handling strays 1 month ago:
I’ve found that crisis does it, too. I him (cat friend, we’ll call him lol) while in a city a few hours from home, because my mom was helicoptered there for emergency surgery, and was in ICU for over a month. It was a horrible, terrible time, and the state I was in when I met cat friend definitely contributed to the friendship. He didn’t know me from Adam, but he was there for me when I needed someone
- Comment on handling strays 1 month ago:
Once met a dude in Walmart who had a cat with him. Talked in Walmart, and now he’s one of my best friends.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
I searched and I’m not finding one, but my search function often misses smaller communities. I’d love it if there was one
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
RAF was the entirety of my teen years. I loved that place
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
It is always so weird to me to see an animorphs fan in the wild. I know we’re not super uncommon, but I was super active on Richard’s Animorphs Forum back in the day, and associate the two. I always have to remind myself animorphs fan≠equal RAFian, and calm myself down lol
- Comment on frosty cover your heart 2 months ago:
It’s an actual chant. I don’t believe it is normally followed by Kali Maa, however. Chants normally focus on a singular deity or deva, to the best of my knowledge.

- Comment on Asking the difficult questions 2 months ago:
For years, my dogs favorite toy was a nerf branded football made for dogs.
He would cuddle it, and whenever he got excited and actually chewed it, he would then whimper and cry and cuddle it more, because he hurt his baby
- Comment on Asking the difficult questions 2 months ago:
I like to think that they think of their toys as alive. You and the toy collaborated to create a fun game of SUPER LOUD SNIFFS to find the toy lol
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 months ago:
For some reason, the sound is broken on mine, I guess. There’s no audio at all
- Comment on The true story of how I grew my only ever successful plant 2 months ago:
Damn, didn’t even consider reverse image searching it haha. Thank you!
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 2 months ago:
… Yeah. I’m blocking you. You’re deeply awful.
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 2 months ago:
Jesus Christ. Is there some kind of medication you’re supposed to be taking that you haven’t? Or perhaps a medication you’re not supposed to be taking that you have taken too much of?
Re read what I said. I specifically said if they had that interest. My original comment was mostly agreeing with you that if they had that interest is when the concern kicks in. Seriously. You’re so busy attempting to defend yourself that you’ve blinded yourself to the fact that no one was attacking you. Fucking chill.
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 2 months ago:
Firstly, that is how memory loss works. If they’re a person who has a prexisting interest or history in a thing, in a moment of confusion they may well forget that it’s not a good idea for them to go do that thing again.
Secondly, I’m not making it about me. I’m using myself as an example.
Thirdly, there’s no “again” here. This was our first interaction about this.
Finally, the person who asked the question is clearly concerned about this aspect. You making this about YOU and YOUR assumptions on their history, personality, and general ethos does not help a person who is genuinely seeking help. Perhaps try answering their question (“how do I ensure I am on a no-purchase list for firearms?”) instead of attempting to make this more than it is and making this a “the psychology of gun owners” debate?
