The elusive Portuguese fog o' war. Commonly thought to produce sensory or cognitive impairment but studies show the actual effect is to temporarily allow one to notice how confused they always are about reality

What a cool way to volunteer, how'd you get into that? Also this sounds like really good advice

Possibly unpopular opinion, sober people generally have no ability to calm down someone freaking out on psychedelics. Exceptions of course for experienced or particularly empathetic people. Also having other people around, tripping or not, tends toward irritating. Of course from a bodily harm perspective having a sitter will be beneficial, but the risk is low either way.

It sucks for .NET also, I currently waste up to an hour a day switching between different browsers for debugging and restarting the instance, sometimes my whole work laptop if that fails. All my coworkers have equally annoying but apparently unrelated problems, like maybe I could spend a couple days nailing down the issue, my younger self would have, but at this point I just don't have the motivation. It's sad because .NET is actually quite good, C# is a very pretty and expressive language, the compiler is nearly flawless, blazor is... not the worst framework for building a UI, even VS itself has some impressive magic it's just slow and constantly breaks in new and exciting ways no matter what you're using it for

Does anyone know where to find Palestinian solidarity protests in Minneapolis? I'm not there but asking for a family member

Oldness can come in big lurches. I suddenly went from being carded for alcohol every time to maybe 2 times a year. During the last 20 months I added 1:30 to my mile time, my cognitive activities decreased significantly, I lost a 3" patch of hair off the top of my head and the rest thinned 75%. I have to stop myself from telling my adult kid to make sure they're getting regular sleep whenever they tell me they've been up late studying. I haven't been asked by a stranger if I have any weed for several years.

This is not arrogance it's playful language for humorous effect. The real reason to not eat fake meat is that it usually doesn't taste very good no matter how you prepare it, whereas traditional vegan food can be amazing

My family's first computer had 4 colors, 32k of ram, floppy disks that actually flopped, and a 1 mb hard drive. And a dot matrix printer that did like half a page per minute. I was able to chain smoke cigarettes all night at Perkins legally.

Browsing r/researchchemicals, r/drugs etc you see stuff with a similar vibe, barred out people believing they're 100% sober posting barely readable nonsense

I used it to quit sugared sparkling beverages, should have used it for drugs lol. I drink almost exclusively fizzy water now, as in it replaces water for me, it's a problem
