You just need silicone lube. You have to wash that off with soap. Works very nicely.

Also a dream for shaving your nethers, as again it doesn’t wash off easily.

Meanwhile: parrots.

Sisyphus, that bastard with his tasks!

And you cant defeat that boss, no no, that boss is well beyond epic tier and you have to game the system to defeat him.

Which.. women pick up. Because it happens more than enough.

This needs to be Jason figuring it out.. then it’s accurate.

Im sure there are other contexts in which that happens, but yeah, very uncommon

While I still don’t know what that thing is, this is much better. The edit makes it look like some VR headset holder or something.

Yeah, thats exactly what i want to avoid, things that are good enough that even without being addictive, i want them. I wont even grow poppies for poppy tea because I’m afraid i will become low-grade addicted to it as a result of simply not being in constant pain for a change (fucked up thing to consider, but true as someone with chronic pain). My mom made me promise to keep her oxy after she passed because it was much harder for me to get pain treatment than it should be, but it just made me throw up (same it did to her, but we assumed it was the cancer), so i gave it to a friend who needed it. I know myself and i -really- like escape. It used to be books, as a kid, but now its all sorts of things. Because i can.

Mostly i want things with low addiction (physical or psychological) risk, ideally also somewhat beneficial, and no or very low chance of bad experience, because my brain does that anyway. Also kinda has to be fairly easy to get without a shady middle-man, because i don’t know people and buying shit on tor isn’t appealing to me at all. The hardest thing I’ve done was extacy cut with meth, and i listened to my druggy ex and boofed it (our slang for bum-hole administration, tho i learned later i should have shoved it in my vagina instead, thats way way better for drug absorption due to the sheer quantity of blood vessels and the moist environment, to the point that it used to he a common medical application in hospital). Honestly, i loved it, and would exist that way forever if i could. And thats the problem. I’m glad i don’t have easy access to it now. Id like to use it again in controlled therapy settings, as long as they’ve got some good beats and highlighters on hand. But as a result of using it, techno gives me anxiety now. Used to really love it. So even in mild ways the best of things can fuck with you.

I don’t really struggle with drugs other than alcohol (and thats a weird one because i just fall out of use, same as weed, after months or years of heavy use), but thats mostly because i don’t use anything else particularly addictive because i don’t trust myself. Actually, because i know what I’d do. I seem to fall out of alcohol use when my mental state improves to the point i don’t need a crutch. But until then, its bad. Ngl. And weed just stops being fun periodically, so sometimes i take years-long breaks even though it’s good for my pain.

Im super interested in drugs, though. Like genuinely id love to try them all with no risk. I used to read bluelight just to imagine how it felt. I want VR to work for me because that feels like a mild trip (makes me hella nauseated, so no dice until holodeck exists). If i ever go terminal, or get old enough to not care how much i fuck up my future, ill be doing all the drugs.

Im glad you’ve come out the other end of it reasonably intact, sounds like :) And thank you for sharing your experiences with me, for my edification :) i genuinely appreciate it. If you want to share more, even about other substances, id be interested in reading it, to live vicariously through you :)

Im going to save this but it sounds like those aren’t just various strains of mushies? and idk if id go out of my way to obtain drugs i cant cultivate myself. I like the idea of mushrooms and i have spores and stuff, just not motivated to grow a new batch.

Ive seen extracts of mushies, called “crystals of the gods” which is a dumb name but the only extraction method ive found, and thats what I want to try, because its supposed to completely get rid of the body problems associated with it, though not the enhancement of your natural mood (in my case mostly anxiety)

Im kinda afraid of human-made or refined drugs, tbh. What if i like them?

Solid, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!

I’ve never done acid but I did shrooms twice and haven’t had the balls to try again.

The first time was ok, but the second time, come-up anxiety was so intense I spent the entire trip throwing up, shitting my brains out, and having a panic attack. I can’t do that again, but I’m still full of anxiety, so.. nope.

Someday id like to try an extract, I’ve heard the mushroom itself is where the anxiety and gastric discomfort comes from, but yeah I’m just not really motivated in case thats wrong.

Floors I can see through (metal mesh, drainage grates, thick glass, etc.)

I struggle to walk across it, even when it can hold literal cars.

Idk too many people who can read the art of war in under an hour, either :p

I used that “not a real person” face generation site to create a photo to sign up for the sake of curiosity and to see what the services were like in case I wanted to sign up for one for like friend matchmaking or whatever (not to catfish or anything, just don’t want my face all up in there), but after uploading the photo, then it started asking for an absolute gob of personal data and I noped out. Not worth it.

Imagine being rude to someone making the same journey you did at some point.

Unfortunately no, I’m not on android at the moment (much to my chagrin)

However, lots of people around here are super passionate about sharing exactly that information with people, and there’s a solid chance you’ll get an answer to that here if you give it some time. If not, or if you’d like to know now, you can always make a post about it somewhere like asklemmy and you’ll probably get lots of suggestions :)

Sorry I can’t help further with that one!

Have you considered a platform like freetube that allows you to fully block shorts?

I’ve been using it for ages now (desktop application, I use it on Linux, works great), but other platforms for watching YouTube without ads are also likely to have “distraction-free” mode where all that obnoxious shit gets blocked or turned off, like when I view a creator I’m subscribed to the -only- thing that comes up are full-length videos. No community page, no shorts, no playlists and follows, nothing but videos which is what I’m there for.

You also get the perk of blocking ads and sponsored segments, self promotion, etc. so very nice to use.

It does break now and then when YouTube updates, but they typically get it working again pretty quickly.

I got measles as a kid in the 80s before I was old enough to get the jab, and I’ve been vaccinated against it three times (one as a kid for school, and two as an adult due to lost records)

If I’m not immune at this point… it’s probably because of Covid.

I thought the biggest was elsewhere and the location was secret to protect it.

At least we’ve got something like a consensus going! :p

This is what I do with all the series I have that try to combine on plex. It’s a lot. I like getting remakes of stuff. Sometimes it just adds the year in parenthesis for no clear reason, and makes me wonder if there’s an old version out there somewhere.

It also works with (US)(UK)(AUS), etc. versions in the same library. Very handy for all the shows I want multiple versions of :)

It seems to pull that stuff through to jellyfin as well, which is nice.

Loose lips sink ships.
