Chaos

KETAM–

No, actually, I’d take music. I don’t mean streaming, but buying albums to own. At that point, that’s a subscription service gone.

I’d also take ammo for no reason in particular.

(I’m assuming crypto assets for unlimited money is cheating)

If he’s a Nazi, I’m a trans queer Nazi.

My parents’ house has one, and every house needs this.

Good luck, and stay safe! Please do get back–people’s experiences will help me with my project (a work featuring dozens upon dozens of psychoactives/medicines/therapy options). Reports will help me provide better, more diverse information to people.

I haven’t tried tea, but smoking works if that doesn’t. I’d assume you want to drink the tea about an hour before bed to ensure effects take hold at the right time. You won’t notice any effect while awake. It should have mild sleep support properties, though. Also interesting is that it’s reported to work by being placed under the pillow.

Thujone is an involved compound that’s worth mentioning. In very large amounts (and I mean a catastrophic 3g+ of pure compound for myself), it becomes toxic–but typical doses are very, very far below this. Imagine how much 3g of the compound is, and how much compound is actually contained in the material.

Hope this all helps!

Dreaming is like reality, but far from reality. Regardless, you accept it anyway. It looks so close to reality, yet many nonsensical things can happen. I recently had one which featured astral projection and trippy visuals. The stretching of hallways, the breaking of physics.

Foreign realms which often feel quite familiar.

Also–do your own research, but… this might interest you.

Mugwort is known as an oneirogen. These are a class of substances known to produce vivid dreams.They are not psychoactive to any degree. I use them very, very infrequently, but they do work for me. As far as I understand, it’s diminishing returns for repeated use. If you use them daily, they stop working. Mugwort has worked for everyone I know who’s tried it, and I’d imagine it’s hard for placebo to occur here. Note that this is far from a scientifically defined class of substance–most descriptions of their effects are anecdotal. That said, they are extremely unlikely to be harmful, if that’s even at all possible.

If this is an active point of interest for you, it certainly can’t hurt to read into it. Hope this all helps!

I’ve made it a goal in life to put more thought into things. It is indeed a major turnaround. Thank you for the kind words!

A MAGA hat. I judge them for MAGA.

Aye. I’m not proud of it. If you think about it, it’s kind of just conservatism, just not in an expected way.

I’ve seen a few around here.

It depends. My religious affiliation is likely therianthropy. I don’t follow a traditional religion, and see it more as a spiritual practice, much in the same way that a trans person may deeply explore their gender identity–I am also trans.

My requirements are simple; Code of conduct, not a code of “facts”. I will not engage with creation theories and such. It is an insult to science, and often resists fundamentally good change.

I also will not engage with a “Reddit atheist”. I think this requires no further explanation–I was one.

I am thoroughly impressed with this. I’d like to try it out at some point!

I’m oppressed AND can’t use my OWN TERM!? This place is a prison.

I am not into plumbing, but this is so cool. I’m spreading the word.

From my experience? Absolutely. I have “family” elsewhere outright mean to their cat, just because they failed to raise him. I have an extremely close friend who has provided examples of many people (but particularly men) who hate cats, and cite reasons oddly aligned with misogyny.

Sounds sus to me.

Okay, fine. It’s a problem with people wanting a dog for home defence, when such a case will practically never happen in most places, and then that dog breaks out.

I already suggested this elsewhere, but licence.

I had one with an outburst who responded to me, then got along extremely well. I have had many dogs with outbursts. I had a small Yorkshire that went out of their way to lunge at other dogs, that did not respond.

This is hardly a point.

I watch dogs as a job. I’ve had many pit bulls. I have had one that got aggressive, who responded to being yelled at. There were no other issues, and that was one of the best playmates I’ve seen.

If anything, pit bulls are commonly gentler than other breeds. I’m watching one right now who likes to give my dog kisses. A friend has a family pit bull who is one of the most timid dogs I’ve seen. I have only had pit bulls that are wonderful to be around. This is why eliminating the breed seems unacceptable to me.

It is learned behaviour–and, granted, it is easier to teach. Instead, acquiring the breed should require a licence.

You know how conservatives frequently say they dislike cats? It’s because cats can’t be trained. And misogyny (case in point: my father). They don’t like not having control. It often isn’t control they want, however, but instead abuse. Something to hit that won’t hit back.

That’s how aggression happens.

Case in point, I know someone in Texas who mentioned dogs breaking out a lot. They noted that many of them are pit bulls.

A person wants a strong, obedient dog that will get the bad guy. Does that, or does that not sound like a conservative?

Pit bulls are otherwise very loving family dogs, which seems to be genetic.

If you can, try for one with a built-in water softener–that is, if your home has hard water. You’ll reload salt, as well as detergent.

Speaking of detergent, Technology Connections reference.

Buy powder detergent. Fill to the appropriate line. Save a crapton of money over time. Yes, I have autism, how could you tell?
