Could you explain your experience?

It’s a passive part of my active thought process. Sometimes it results from something I’m doing in the moment while stoned (i.e. listening to a conversation), other times it is just me pondering something that happened to me previously. My brain identifies new potential reasons and motivations for what I’m witnessing or thinking about. Most of the time i can dismiss an observation because logically it doesn’t matter or make sense… Presumably that’s what my subconscious is doing behind the scenes when I’m sober, filtering out the illogical. But every once in a while i consider something my subconscious would have ignored that seems logical. It’s particularly helpful in understanding the motivations or assumptions of others. I think i am better at reading people and understanding their point of view because of it.

For me it opens up possibilities that my sober brain doesn’t consider because my sober brain filters and edits things based on assumptions. So i sometimes miss details when sober because my subconscious brain dismissed those details as unimportant. Most of the time, that filtering process is a positive part of decision-making. I should be ignoring certain variables because knowledge and experience identified those details as a waste of time. However, on weed, i consider things i wouldn’t have considered because that filtering process is lessened. So most of my stoned thoughts are worthless, but every once in a while i realize something that i was missing because my brain was ignoring that important detail when sober. It’s great when I haven’t been able to figure out that day’s Wordle…or i realize why someone was pissed at me.

Looks like a watered down version of Thor: Ragnarok. I’ll pass.

Unsolicited advice from someone who used to be like you: Consider a person’s intent when considering your tone. You can’t just make a call regarding your outward level of courtesy merely based on subject matter. They may not know better. In a vacuum, is it “fair” to hate someone based on unintentional ignorance? Consider their intent first.

Edit: to be clear I’m referring to the unintentional ignorance of the artist, not meldrik. Fuck that guy.

Chuck Shumer is offended by your comment. But he’s willing to upvote it so long as you promise to be cool with Israel.

A majority of human interaction is some form of manipulation. I think the question should be what degree the manipulation serves the manipulator versus the mark. For example, my wife compliments me for not looking like a total piece of shit. This both helps diminish tendencies in me she dislikes (helping her) and encourages me to not be a piece of shit, which given that my wife generally looks out for my best interests, helps me as well. From the opposite perspective, gaslighting is a form of manipulation that only benefits the manipulator… Hence why it’s frowned upon.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

For all the flaws of its participants, Lemmy is particularly sensitized against propaganda spewed by idiots. Take that how you like.

Not wormy enough! You need more spice!

Alls I knows is i liked episode 8 more than any other Star wars film other than rogue one… And if it wasn’t for Andor, i would have wrote Star Wars off as dead to me after episode 9.

Mediation. The practice focuses, in part, on training you to avoid persistent thoughts and staying present.

Having lived in Memphis, TN (the Western most point of the"pan"), I always wondered why i sometimes woke up with the taste of chef dick in my mouth.

That’s definitely something an autist would say!!! We found them, boys!!!

What is the blame we should place on them? The whole point of science is that shitty theories and great theories live in the same space. They’re then evaluated by the collective body of scientists based upon the results of their tests. Eventually the shitty hypotheses dies off. No one is ever supposed to rely upon one study or even a few studies. It should take years and many studies before the results or conclusions should be relied upon by non-scientists.

So the blame is likely borne by a combination of the education system (explaining the importance of repeated scientific evaluation), the pervasiveness of lay “scientists” and *philosophers relying upon social media and other unreliable sources for their data, and the greater access that a random non-scientists have to studies that would normally be buried by time. Then you have people reaching their own conclusion and just finding a random study that supports that conclusion. That’s the exact opposite of what the scientific method requires. The push by conservatives over the last few decades to erode scientific education (i.e creationism) is probably more likely to blame than any one scientist, doctor or certainly the medical/scientific community.

E33 ruined metaphor refantazio and many other similar jrpgs for me. Why develop a magic system that actively discourages using skills because the access to mana is so limited? I play these games to feel powerful and to live out a superhero-like fantasy. It’s hard to do that when you only get resources for 10 spells a day and dungeons with dozens of enemies.

Rat snake?

Your take is so weak. The “yanks” lost the election because of disinformation campaigns and low information voters. By placating fascist political action, all you are is delaying the inevitable decline of civilization. You’re a frog sitting in a warming pot complimenting the relaxing pond.
