No need to apologize, was just curious - figured folks is gender-neutral as is, never saw an alternate form of it before.
Sincerely, thanks! Didn’t know this was a thing for anyone.

Off-topic, but if you don’t mind me asking, why folx over folks?
- Comment on I don't get how people can become depressed, when we live in the century of Fentanyl, easy access to alcohol and amusement arcades. 5 days ago:
There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.
Which I’m here for - while a lot of people do OK, (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.

You may not be into the music and culture - and that’s cool - but you definitely get it.
Thank you for sharing this - sounds like it was hard, but necessary, thing for you to write. Send your cousin that text man, I’m sure he’d appreciate it.

A lot of Juggalos take the Juggalo Family thing very seriously.
Doesn’t describe all of the fans, but think about it for a sec - think like the biggest stereotype of a Juggalo. Fucked up home life, outcast at school, not well educated, hopeless feeling, more than average chance they’ve been homeless or dangerously close to it, etc. Then offer them some semblance of feeling like they belong to something, as they are, and are part of something like a family.
For a lot of people, that’s powerful fucking stuff, and most of the Juggalos I know are there for it (whether these were their circumstances, or not) and act accordingly.
Fuckin’ love Juggalos. There’s a demo cd or something for The Great Milenko album that has a track that pretty much sums this stuff up, imo, if I find it I’ll leave the link.

Love the worst band in the world, fam.
If nothing else, they’re an inspiration for just doing your own thing artistically. Fuck the critics, just make some shit you’re passionate about, make it available to find its audience, and connect/bring in other folks who want to do the same.
IMO, they created/solidifed an entire genre of music, and some of it’s better than what they put out (for example,I like Twiztid more - but they wouldn’t be what they are if it wasn’t for ICP and Psychopathic Records)

It’s definitely not for everyone, but I’ve met a small number of disabled people who do exactly this, for similar reasons.
Wouldn’t offer it as a suggestion though, kinda feel like people have to come to that decision on their own.

Man, every so often when I’m at work, I’ll still daydream about renting out my local theatre, having them use a black question mark rather than the private rental image on their schedule website with a note that it’s a private rental with public access, then playing the Church of the Subgenius’ recruitment video (link for the interested: m.youtube.com/watch?v=o0x9ymMQUg8). Or, depending on my mood, one of those desert series stoner rock concert videos.
Only thing stopping me is money, and the fact that ARISE is on DVD rather than Blu-ray - I don’t want to do Stang and co dirty like that, it would look like shit.

I agree - figuring out how to take advantage of time dilation for therapeutic purposes would be very cool, snd potentially quite useful. This is kind of what I hope comes from renewed research into psychedelics, being able to pick out the mechanisms for all the different effects and developing techniques to cherrypick just a few with therapeutic benefit with a much reduced risk of freak out. We may already be there re:time dilation alone with TCMS or something, idk.
But real talk - which do you see getting funded for wider use first, 5 year retreat in an hour, or psychic prison?
(Actually, saying it at loud it might be even odds, depending on the price tag folks can assign to the retreat)
- Comment on I'm not bored or anything, it just feels like forever. 60 more years left of my shift on earth... 2 months ago:
Man, fuck society’s outdated edicts - as long as you’re able to feed yourself, you’re doing amazing in my book.
What now? A lot of options still on the table, but here’s something to think about: one element of the whole fatherhood thing is passing down the knowledge you’ve gathered from all of this for your child’s benefit/enrichment. But you aren’t going to have kids, which is fine. So - are there any other means to share your knowledge/experience with the next generation? Preferably in meatspace?

This was my thinking as well, plus addressing the ‘solution for those without IT experience’ bit. Search for video/article on removing wireless connectivity hardware, grab your screwdriver and get to work.
Still takes some work, obviously, and a lot of people are scared to void warranties/open up consumer electronics, but from the outside it sounds more straight-forward than futzing about with network settings. IMO worth it if concerned about the connectivity bits, willing to do it and the price is right for the TV as a dumb TV.
Alternatively, use used dumb TVs for as long as you can.
- Comment on I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** 6 months ago:
Serious question: How much of a brick risk is opening one if these smart tvs up and ripping out the wifi card? Can’t connect to the internet if you don’t have the hardware to do so.
(Obviously pretty high if legit caveman-style ripping out. Could also be really hard, I have no idea).

3 and 5 are the best, if you ever find yourself held captive. 7 inches can get you out of a jail cell, also cuffs if your clothes don’t teleport too. You can manipulate the toaster as a distraction or to start a fire.
100% my choice.

Quebec would like to have a word with you.
Then again they also have some opinions on that whole ‘Canada’ thing too.

The Matrix comment there gave me a moment of sudden clarity. Literally never considered that interpretation until now.

- Comment on What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol? 9 months ago:
Unfortunately, here in Ottawa the McDonald’s best enjoyed late at night is closed forever :( RIP 99 Rideau, you were sketchy as fuck but wonderful for those who liked dinner and a show after the bars closed (and knew to keep your mouth shut, lest you become part of the performance)
- Comment on What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol? 9 months ago:
It really depends where you are - some places have a lively late night culture, others not so much.
All night diners, 24 hour fast food places are really the only alternatives here (though you could count movie theatres with late showings, I guess).
But (unless you have personal reasons for not being around alcohol and drinkers), you can totally go to a bar whose vibe you like and just hang out. Bonus points if that bar has something cool available aside from just booze (barcades, live music venues, etc.).
If you’re not looking to specifically be around people, you could also just check out some green space outdoors, but keep your wits about you and use your judgement - some places are lovely to chill at 3:00 am, some would be if it wasn’t for the sketchy folks shooting up.
