Yah we have one TV in our house and it has a RPI5 on it with a SSD and a keyboard with a trackpad in it… it’s the perfect machine to watch everything ever with an awesome interface.

Myeeeeess owo

Are you knot?! I easily have 2k USD in bad dragon toys.

He says he’s got Cursory knowledge.

Jesus! I’m so sorry your friend went through that, that’s awful! I’m very thankful for test strips now… it’s terrifying that something so opposite can just find its way into blow.

I’m glad you’re safe, and I hope your friend is okay now.

Good on you for no longer fuckin with it. My partner and I drink too much but otherwise are mainly sober from substances—we just have some random special days every couple months where we do something fancy and fun.

It’s not even as expensive as people say it is. If it’s not shitty, ya don’t go through a ball in a night! My partner and I still occasionally dabble, and we maybe go through .1-.2 each for a couple hours of zoot.

The test kits are really cool, too. You break a glass ampule and shovel in a tiiiiny bit in. The shade of dark the chemicals turn tells you the purity. I’ve seen it turn a sludgy light-brown watery poo color a long time ago… and I’ve seen it turn black since then.

Hahaha I had done it a few times during my rave phase but I was almost always disappointed. Like, you gotta do so much of it that it clogs your nose and it goes away so quickly! Then randomly an acquaintance of mine maaaany years later told me they dabbled (understatement) and I learned that almost all coke is complete garbage. A couple bumps had me zooted for like an hour. Remember kids, if it’s already a powder when it comes to you, it’s been stepped on. If you’re getting a shiny chunk that’s almost gummy-feeling, you’re in for a treat.

Having had oodles of bad to mediocre coke in my days and then having 90+% pure (tested myself) I honestly think this graph is misleading, and coke is waaaaay higher.

The problem is, meth dumps your serotonin and feels good by itself, while coke requires you to be doing something that dumps your sweet brain chems to really feel good-good. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s been explained to me. Doing coke and sitting around watching a show is meh. Doing blow and playing a stimulating video game or doing a project that feels good or talking your partner’s ear off (and they yours in return) about ridiculous shit feels incredible.

But yeah. If you need to do a couple lines of coke to really feel it, it’s not good. If you’re getting zooted off a couple bumps, that’s the good stuff.

Having done all of these, DMT does not have the same kind of dopamine release. It is, however, the far most interesting of all of these. But definitely not something I’m ready to casually do at a party, unlike a couple bumps of fine Peruvian nasal fuel.

The only Apple stuff I use are phone, watch, headphones. I don’t use Google products or services and haven’t for a decade, so it’s my other good option. I don’t wanna fuck around with custom ROMs, and my last phone lasted almost six years.

Windows and Linux for computers. Unfortunately I have a game that’s extremely important to me that is impossible to run on Linux.

Even if you’re not in Apple’s ecosystem, I think iPhones are pretty great phones. Expensive yes, but they last a long time.

Oh absolutely! We’ve since moved away and occasionally we make the trek back over there, because that place is awesome. I miss being able to get their hot bar all the time. Their tofu pad Thai is siiiiiiick

My partner got a chicken salad from a local co-op we love, but into a chicken piece, and it was pink and shiny on the inside. They brought it back and showed a clerk who was MORTIFIED. My partner wasn’t mad or anything, just a little worried about getting sick (which didn’t happen, thankfully!) and the co-op immediately took all of their chicken salad packs and threw them away. We didn’t even ask for a refund but we got a refund anyway.

Hey Minecraft remember when Alpha I bought the game in early when Alpha told me updates forever free because in Alpha support sold to Microsoft deleted account thank you happy supported Alpha can’t play buy again

GME completely ruined WSB.

A few months ago my partner and I were laying in bed, and they had their arms up. They were looking away from me, and I just kinda went in and shnrrrf… they slowly turned around and asked, “Did you just sniff me??

“…yeeeaahhh~”

Heyo yee. I cancelled when they made their web UI shittier in like 2019 or something.

Oh shit I skimmed over that part hahaha

Netbooks… I sold computers when they came out, and they were pretty much outdated from day one. Would not use.

My 2011 MacBook Pro can play super high rez video just fine… but it was over 2k USD when I got it, it had 16GB RAM, and a SSD. Dedicated video card doesn’t hurt, either. But jeez, he’s almost 15 years old.

I urge everyone to go play Corpsepile’s “The Man Man”, it’s a browser game. I think you need to be on a keyboard. Go in blind. I went in blind while pot-high for the first time in months and it was a GRAND experience.

I’m fully with ya there. If I was doing anything more than downloading media, I’d be using something like tails with TOR or i2p or whatever. But without having any issues with my ISP chastising me in years (since I began VPNing), I’m happy with what I’ve got.
