I can’t do shrooms either. I’ve tried a number of times from various sources and all I get is 10 hours of nausea and an overpowering urge to sleep but I can’t because I’m on shrooms.
The psilocybin pills worked for me, although I was microdosing them as part of a research study so maybe that was the difference. But Ive never had any issues with other psychedelis either.

My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn’t say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though…

You just gotta remember the mnemonic for them!
Many Wild Owls In Winter Never Make Unusual Noises, Always Calm and Focused
But that’s just taught to us in class as little kids so I forget it’s not second nature for the rest of the world!

- Comment on Why does good faith matter ? 1 week ago:
Arguing what you believe in is not what “arguing in good faith” actually means. If you’re arguing in good faith it means you aren’t using any logical fallacies, insults, and are genuinely attempting to have an actual conversation.
So you’re Florida man could absolutely be arguing in good faith about the beehives in the center of the earth even though that’s very easy to disprove, while someone arguing for gar rights can arguing in bad faith when they start saying things like “every single Republican is a Nazi” (strawman argument) even though it’s objectively a good thing.
Here is a good article about what “arguing in good faith” actually is.
And yes, I know it’s Grammarly which is an AI tool, but I read through it myself and it’s a good article.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.
But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.
- Comment on Great plan 1 week ago:
I think it’s more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it’s for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.
Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There’s no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.
- Comment on Great plan 1 week ago:
People still do this. I have a buddy who only works 3-4 months a year. Hes a pipeline welder so long hours and hard work, but then he travels around the rest of the time
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 1 week ago:
Portal with ray tracing is a really cool demo, and Ive used it on the past to show off ray tracing. But man its just not as pretty as the old portal because it lacks the charm, its like those nature photos that are blown out with HDR

Even when you amortize it across all of the little cities
Please read the comment in it’s entirety before responding ❤️
- Comment on Anon likes trains 1 week ago:
France spends ~$15 million/mile for high speed commuter rail. Which means that line would cost $1.5 billion.
I don’t think it’s bringing in that many more people. Even when you amortize it across all of the little cities it would go through
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 week ago:
For #6, I don’t think we necessarily have to move away from the idea that being a man means being a provider and a protector. At least to me those are some of the core tenants of being a man.
The person above you mentioned the men in Avatar the last Airbender. But I also want to add in the men in LOTR, Gomez Adams, Ted Lasso, Kratos in the newer god of war games, and Steve Rodgers.
These are men who are caring, loving, emotional and they are (mostly) able to show those emotions, capable of growth, and able to admit when they are wrong. But they are still men. Men who struggle with anger, men go to war and protect their families, men who are incredibly strong in the face of struggle, men who sometimes make “inappropriate” (to the left) jokes, and men who strive for nothing else but bettering the lives of those in their care.
I sometimes hate that what counts as “positive masculinity” is really just feminity but dressed up in a blue bow. Men are not women and telling them that they can’t be super competitive, can’t be angry, and can’t fail is just setting them up to fall into toxic masculinity. This might just be me talking about the culture I was raised in but those things aren’t necessarily a bad thing, and erasing what a “man” has been for generations isn’t going to win you any extra fans.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 1 week ago:
These small towns would still be an hour+ away from large cities, even with European speed high speed rail.
Like for me, the nearest “big town” is about 100 miles from me, which is about a 2hr drive. And, at least from some quick googling, it looks like most commuter rail in France tops out at about 100mph…

So wouldn’t that mean that child birth is less painful? Because pain receptors and memory are also evolutionary traits?

It’s called “cheese cake” not “cheese pie” so I don’t think so
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 2 weeks ago:
From the article for anyone who cares, NASA uses 15 digits (
3.141592653589793) because at Voyagers current distance from earth (~48 billion kilometers) that would give you an accuracy of less than half an inch. - Comment on It's that time of the decade where we can bring out this meme 2 weeks ago:
Ah you see, I’ve found a flaw in your plan! If they dont make unimaginable amounts of money how can they give the US president a $400m jet as a
bribegift??? - Comment on It's that time of the decade where we can bring out this meme 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but how would shell and the Saudi royal family make unimaginable amounts of money if we move to renewables??? I bet you didnt think of that liburul

I just wish they would fix bombers somehow. I wish I could fly my B-17 or B-29 and actually drop bombs.
All I want is high altitude carpet bombing, I know everyone else thinks it’s boring but it’s what I want 😭

- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 weeks ago:
Tbh, I don’t care what the “intent” was. Swinging an animal by its feet into a wall because it stole your chips is an entirely inappropriate response.
Like if you kicked a dog in the head because it peed in your lawn. It’s a disgusting and very much non-proportional response.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 weeks ago:
No but brutally killing an animal in public in front of children is.

Did you read me whole comment or just react?
- Comment on True Love 3 weeks ago:
No. America has its issues of course, but Curiosity and in a wider sense NASA is an entirely good thing that America does.
Just because we have work to do in other areas doesn’t mean we can’t be proud of the good we are doing.
