    To build off this. Part of why people, who come off as reasonable and decent in person, can get so…very…VERY unhinged online is that

    Tap for personal opinion

    you don’t have to see the reaction of the people who read/hear what you’re putting out there. Even in places where you don’t actually have any real anonymity, there’s an assumption that because no one is in the room with you while you madly smash away at your keyboard…well… People used to say there’s no girls on the internet…I feel like most people just type whatever like there’s no PEOPLE on the internet…

    TL;DR - can’t see people being disgusted with what you just said.



  • TBF, I absolutely should have used them, but I was cooking for 25 people, and honestly totally forgot about them. I was rushing about with the BBQ, into the kitchen switching out cooked pizza for uncooked and trying to catch a sip of beer in between all that… As a result the salmon came out amazing, slow smoked at 60° for 3 hours because I totally forgot about it until the wife would occasionally say: the smoker’s not smoking!






  • AI hype is smoke and mirrors

    Funny story. When I was in my early 20s myself and 2 friends had been on a major shroom trip, full day affair. We were on the last bus to our small town, and the only other person on the bus was a middle aged stoner.
    Just as we’re starting to get into town the stoner says:
    You guys wanna smoke a joint?

    Us: Sure, where you getting off?

    Stoner: Nah, we’ll just smoke it here at the back of the bus!

    Us: Aren’t you worried about getting kicked off the bus?

    Stoner: Nah man, they call it smoke and mirrors because you can’t see smoke in mirrors!

    Now, I was still fucked on mushrooms, but even I could tell this man had smoked himself within a razor’s edge of his last brain cell.
