That’s how DMT was described to me by a friend who tried it.

I did not know the trail and metamorphosis were part of the same story.
- Comment on Americans when they are trying to talk back to a fascist: let's have a cosplay party! 1 day ago:
Yes that’s exactly the point. If you are dressed like an inflatable innocent and cute/funny cat and ice is beating you, the public perception is the costume person was completely innocent. They can’t spin the news as easily.
The images will show police beating up a cartoon character. A stuffed toy. A school mascot.
Not anyone who deserves it.
It’s actually been great because every time they try to show video of the violent protesters it’s just videos of what looks like a city get together or festival.

I have heard that some libraries actually rent out power tools. And other types of tools.
I would guess that’s more common in mid sized to larger cities. But it’s also not advertised very well so you have to ask your local library and check.
Ive heard some libraries rent out all sorts of things like Gardening tools. Even musical instruments. Sewing machines. Dvd players. Cassette players. VHS players. Tvs ?
I should check it my local one has a power washer cause I have one job I need one for and I could just buy one and return it a week later.
Or. Pay $30 a day to rent from a hardware store.
Or if the library has one, that would make things a lot easier.

I come from poverty. I’ll tell you the family secrets that have been passed down for many a generations.
Now , I acknowledge it’s getting harder to do this for some items. But it’s still viable.
Let’s say you buy an Xbox and it stops working.
You go buy a new one. Take it apart, switch out the guts, return the broken one with the new casing. This is harder to do than it used to be. But it’s still possible to do this on a multitude of electronics. Microwaves. Appliances. Stereos. Etc.
Pretty sure my brother got 2 Xboxs “fixed” this way.
Let’s say you need a power tool for a job. Buy it. Use it . Return it.
You should only use it lightly so you can return it without issues.
Have a tv and lose the remote. But a new one. Take the remote. Return the tv. They rarely check for remote and if they do say it wasn’t in the box.
And like the meme says. You can buy and steal the same item so you can return the stolen one with the receipt.
Just recently I mentioned how my drill wasn’t working right and first thing fam said was “just go get the same one at the Walmart and switch out the casing.”.
I’m like yeah I know but it’s so much work …
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 day ago:
I have this friend, a lady electrician.
I met her at a reddit meetup. She told us this amusing story of working downtown. She was outside one of the downtown big corp buildings, on the street side. Leaning against a wall smoking a cigarette on her break.
And this dude pulls up to her in his car. Rolls down the window.
Asks her if she’s working.
To which she replies. “Yeah I’m working”. At which point the conversation moved to her realizing he was asking her if she was a prostitute.
This happened In the middle of the day. A work day. She’s wearing work clothes. Tool belt. The whole thing.
And this guy thought she was a “working gal”.

- Comment on Anon watches Lost 5 days ago:
He keeps finding food stashes. Finds a food pantry in a bunker (start of season 2). Then a pallet of food dropped by helicopter (mid or late season 2). Then they made it a reoccurring drop delivery even though there hadn’t been reoccurring food drops the whole first season. No one found any of the drops nor saw a helicopter even though it was right by the camp/hatch. But it was apparently happening the whole time.
It still was never clear who was having the food drops made but maybe dharma initiative. Since they knew Desmond was living in the bunker and the food was supposedly for him.
Also it’s a pretty good show. The last season was confusing and misunderstood.
But the rest is solid. Good acting. Interesting characters. Honestly worth watching.

Right!?
- Comment on Elephant in the room 6 days ago:
So whilst I was studying for a masters in psychology, we had this group research project.
It was investigating a few traits of the college boys and determining which of these traits predicted sexual and relationship information. Such as number of sexual partners and if they were in a committed relationship.
One of the traits was humor.
So the way we were instructed by the lead research professor to rate this ability, was to have the guys complete a questionnaire.
Some of the questions were about how important comedy and humor was to them. How often they watched or listened to funny shows/comedians.
But the last question was a short answer. They were presented with an image and were asked to write a story about the image.
The image was this famous photograph.
www.moma.org/collection/works/79933 It’s two people with their head covered with cloth, embracing and kissing.Now I don’t know who validated this questionnaire. But there was objective guidelines on rating the responses.
Such as how original it was. And how much humor it had. And if it was dark or light hearted.
And this one guy.
He wrote like this two or 3 page story. (Most people wrote a half page).
I can’t tell you the exact contents because it was so absurd and ridiculous. But I personally remember thinking it was rather hilarious because he wrote so much detail and gave all this supposition about why they wore the face coverings. I think they were shy aliens or something.
And then all this back story.
But the professor reviewed it and even brought it up in a meeting. Where he read a large chunk of it and then I thought he was going to go over how to rate it per the guidelines but instead said this was the kind of thing we had to remove from the study because obviously the guy was being cheeky. (This was in Britain).
I think 2 or 3 of us in the group chuckled at the story.but most didn’t think it was amusing.
Anyway. This post reminds me of this.
And also. Fyi. If you participate in a psych study, it’s very possible your results will get shared with all the grad students working on it and some of their grad friends not working on it.
Your name won’t be shared. We have very strict rules about that. And people seem to respect those rules. But if you give weird interesting data. You can bet it’s getting passed around and shared a few times.
The professor told us “there are a lot of crazy people out there just trying to ruin your data sets for kicks”.
I don’t think this particular student was doing that. I think he just has a strong sense of humor which was not understood by most.

I didn’t come here for the sexy time, I’m asexual.
BUT I just want to point out that the word “pan” short for “pansexual” is kind of amusing because Pan, the Greek god, is a satyr known for constantly chasing that booty.

We also have a clitoris and urethra that are not attached to the vagina.
Male and female genitals are not a 1 to 1 comparison.
Males have their clitoris and urethra on the penis.
A vagina is the canal where babies come out. It’s not the same as an inverted penis.
- Comment on Frying chicken? Taking a leak? It's a mystery. 🤔 1 week ago:
Maybe but a lot of people seem to think urine comes out of the vagina. Which I like to correct when I can. Because it’s too many people who think that.
I blame the education system.
