It is as psychedelic as dmt it just isn’t pleasurable at all. On breakthrough doses your awareness is altered but you aren’t intoxicated like on the classical psychedelics. It is a hard one to explain but you are disassociated in the regular sense, the ego death is real but not in the numinous way of serotonergic drugs. I was once a square wheel on a truck. And I lived a whole life that way. I remember way more of what happens in my salvia breakthroughs than in my dmt ones. I think the dmt ones would be just as unpleasant though if dmt wasn’t itself pleasurable.
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 1 week ago:
I’m sorry everyone is advising against it. If you need a pink salt itch scratched they make big blocks of salt the size of cutting boards to season steak (or something I guess, I think it’s a solution looking for a problem) but they are food grade so buy five of those, stack them into a cube (bottom face is the table) and put a flashlight inside the box and go to town!

I use it hold on to the device more securely and so I only need one hand not as a stand to prop it up on a table or anything.

- Comment on How do you people read books? 2 weeks ago:
If you are turning into a hunchback try holding the book at eye level instead of where you have to look down. I like those stick on stands, usually the ring ones, on my devices so I can do it one handed

This is how I was potty trained. I did not know that until one day I came home and my mom had my son sitting backwards. She said it helps little kids not fall in. Look at me putting toilet seat adapters in the bathroom like a fool!

If you really want to know how I can help with some of it. I started a business last year. I am a skilled laborer by training but my business isn’t in the same field. The main steps are:
- Go to your Secretary of State website
- Start your LLC (maybe something else but LLC covers most things for most people)
- Get your ein from the IRS website
- Use whatever monies you (proprietor) have to buy equipment, advertising, whatever. Save your receipts.
- When you file your (personal) taxes deduct everything you spent money on that is common and appropriate for your business.
- Get all the money you spent back. Now you have the things you bought plus they money you spent on it.
- Try to profit the second year and hopefully not have to use your (personal) money anymore.
- Once you get to the point your revenues exceed your costs try not to embezzle from yourself (LLC.) the tax code favors businesses to the point that stealing isn’t really necessary.
That’s a general idea of how it goes. It cost me $75 I think and took a week for the SoS to approve my filing. I did all of the paperwork on my phone and it took less than an hour total. How to make money from a business is another topic but if you got a good idea or marketable skill don’t let the official/legal part put you off.
- Comment on How to summon a group of gym bros (100% working tutorial 2026) 3 weeks ago:
I’m stating that being grossly overweight with a normal to low bf% is still bad for one’s heart. ~20% is the high end of lean for adult men and the prefix “sub” means under or lower.
- Comment on How to summon a group of gym bros (100% working tutorial 2026) 3 weeks ago:
There is no way those guys walking around at 6’1 300 lbs and sub 20% body fat are not taxing their hearts more than a similar height person of normal weight/bf%.

That is a funny joke and I’ve heard others like it but I guess I just don’t know enough about boats to understand why it’d be so terrible.
- Comment on At this rate, it will never end 4 weeks ago:
I know it should set off alarms when there are always sailboats for sale relatively cheap but I struggle to resist the urge to buy a cabin sailboat I can sleep in. In my imagination it’ll be like an RV but in the Gulf.
- Comment on At this rate, it will never end 4 weeks ago:
Five or six months of people to hang out with on the water, every now and then an hj from some bored girl while her friends swim and then you get six months to chill and recuperate to prepare for next year’s socializing season. Almost makes a boat seem worth it.
- Comment on What is the deal with Caitlan Clarke and pretty much the whole WNBA is against her? She drains 3 pointers like I never seen and they treat her like ruffing up a man. Shouldn't they congratulate her? 1 month ago:
She was out a lot of last season so you can compare with that

Do you look like that too? Maybe your parents are just anti chav and these guys are close enough to trigger their reactions.

I’m paying $0.11 kwh currently. My last house was $0.15 kwh. That’s after the fees. I think we’re going up to $0.13. I am not considered poor where we live now and $0.25 kwh would significantly change my family’s habits

- Comment on Yup 3 months ago:
Do I know why it works to lessen the symptoms? No, not in the way that I’d put my name behind. It’s part of the diagnostic criteria because “relief with hot shower” doesn’t usually work for those symptoms if the cause is something else.
- Comment on Yup 3 months ago:
No, its from legit sources. It’s been a more and more popular diagnosis the last 5 or 6 years. I first saw it around 2018 in a legal state. One someone has it they kind of just have it and any THC use will cause the symptoms. It’s n/v and abd pain characterized by recent cannabis use in a chronic cannabis use patient. I’ve never seen it in anyone who described themselves as moderate. Relief with hot showers and worsening with cannabis use are the diagnostic criteria other than personal/social hx.
The doctors I worked with felt like it was due to the low price and availability of concentrates.

- Comment on Is there a way I can become Baptized a Catholic without going to school or memorizing all the saints I am 37? Always thought it would be an honor to be Catholic. Like being knighted. 3 months ago:
You need to go to RCIA classes. They are 2 or so hours once weekly at my church. The process takes about nine months. Maybe you can knock a little time off if you shop around. It’s pretty streamlined as is. It used to last 3 years.
