Weed is super duper illegal in SK, they’ve increased the number of weed related arrests year over year. There was even a huge crackdown at the end of last year.

That’s funny, you are like opposite me.
There are a lot of exceptions, Morrells are actually one of the few mushrooms that can kill you or make you very ill if you don’t cook them long enough, so I wouldn’t even call them exceptions. They still require knowledge and prep. That includes chicken of the woods which can be dangerous depending on which tree it’s growing on.
Oyster mushrooms on the west coast of the US are a fair bet, someone in this same thread made a good list, but it’s regional. A high percentage of the poisonings in California (Australia too as I understand it) used to be SE Asians who mistook them for paddy-straw mushrooms. A lot of these articles are saying that it’s more wide spread this time because of “naive” people harvesting. I hope it’s not like food insecure people trying to fill caloric gaps…
There are plenty of amateurs who rise to the ranks of expert, but the consequences of error can be very high. I recommend anyone who wants to harvest to learn to spore print as part of identification. Harvesting any wild edibles requires a lot of research, mushrooms topping that list by a fair margin.

I would love to do the super spicy small ones. I fell in love with pickled radish in Korea. It’s a side dish for every meal. For maekju (chicken and beer), it is THE side dish. They do the big ol daikons tho.
- Comment on Soda pop 2 months ago:
I think that’s what their saying, since coke/cocaine and coke/coca cola are both named coke because of the same chemical.
I dunno which came first tho, far as I can tell cocaine in both drug and drink form started getting called coke around 1900-1910. The coca-cola company didn’t like the nickname, they advertised you saying the name in full, they didn’t actually copyright “coke” for coca-cola it till the 1940’s.

Your overall vibe, I’ve seen it too but only when someone realized they’ve been throwing their time in the bottomless pit of a disordered mind. Like a fedora on the side of a trashcan, it’s a sign someone took control of their life back.
Seems like you might be encountering it enough in response to your responses that it’s annoyed you. Otherwise I can’t imagine any other reaction than moving on with my life.

Anxiety, gerd or heartburn in general (it’s literally called heartburn, this is more common than you’d think), and like a million other things.
I would get it with anxiety all the time before I was medicated, my doctor told me after my 3rd EKG that the pain from a heart attack really happens when you work it HARD. That might not be much for some people, but the Doc asked me if this happens often after physical activity at all.
My answer was no, and I hike, walk, go up stairs, do all that stuff and have no issue or pain with my heart. YMMV, and as I age I still take heart stuff seriously, but that reduced my anxiety around it significantly.

- Comment on Summoning the Beast of Big Pharma 4 months ago:
You make a really excellent argument! People have been in essence vaping weed via hookah and shisha for a long time. Mixing weed into your shisha doesn’t result in a full combustion. The steam chalice tweaked the design to remove the shisha, but it was still in essence the design borrowed from something that’s been used since antiquity. But it was still like the invention that basically every stoner in the world, let alone anyone who visited Jamaica, had in their head
The modern electronic vape movement, which arguably started in coffee shops in Amsterdam in the 90’s, started introducing electronic temperature control. Which imo is what I mean when say modern vaping.
- Comment on Summoning the Beast of Big Pharma 4 months ago:
That’s fair, steam chalice became popular back in the 70’s. I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers. The steam chalice was in every stoners head back then and informed a lot of innovation.

That’s actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 5 months ago:
Yeah, no the market has plenty of diversification, there have been times in history where our investments as a country has much less diverse. When the AI bubble pops, and it will, it’s gonna be just like all the other bubble pops we’ve experienced. People who didn’t sell made back those funds after every crash. The people who needed the money right then, the elderly especially, we’re totally fucked. They couldn’t wait out the dips.
I’ll grant you it’s possible this is end of the American expirement because of mixing this with Trump, but i would have to ignore every other historical example. In which case the money won’t matter at all because there will be no guaranter of American fiat currency, which means you’ll see Argentina levels of inflation, we aren’t even close to that yet.
No it’ll pop, the rich who are heavily invested will make a ton of money when investors move their funds to another bubble, we’re also in a real estate bubble! And the whole machine will keep moving.
If you’re planning for a castration failure you should really be buying that gold tho, precious metals, bullets, guns, fresh water, seeds.

Right, they lose value, but you still retain ownership. As a part of the regular flow of things the money you make from those stocks gets reinvested into more ownership, something that keeps happening even when the value of those stocks fall.
As long as your ownership stays, the market will rebound and you will make a premium because the number of stocks you owned actually went up during the period of value loss.
When people talk about how much money rich people made during covid, they are largely talking about stock value, not just carpet bagging.

Great points, currency arbitrage is not something the average Joe can win at, the money they have access to is already stepped on.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 5 months ago:
If you are already invested, you can be reasonably separated from the stocks that are inflating, when the bubble bursts, as long as you are diversified the overall dip will serve you.
The directly impacted industries, those AI companies, data centers, blackrock real estate which is currently heavily investing in local power generation, hardware. That kind of stuff will impact the market, but your money is in relation to units owned. That value will come back and you as a long term investor will make a multiplier on any money you lost, because you ownership, your shares continued to go up at the reduced cost.
If you need the money you have invested for living expenses, you are fucked, but long term investors come out of these recessions stronger every time.
That’s managed investment, retail investors who are highly leveraged in the affected industries will be fucked.
Also look at gold, precious metals are a ridiculously solid investment, just don’t buy them at the market highs put of panic.
