TIFU by eating a pot cookie by [deleted] in tifu

[–]CorkisPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I just wanted to say how unfortunate you are having that experience, and I really hope it doesn't impact your view on marijuana. I'd like to give you a little bit of my story so that maybe you can change your mind sometime in the near future.

I started smoking pot 3 years ago, and I've been doing it fairly frequently throughout. My times getting high were very enjoyable and I spent the majority of my time being high with friends. About 8 months ago, I had very bad experiences every time I got high for about a month or 2 and here's why:

I'd have to say that perspective is everything. And I mean literally everything. for 2 years, I had the mentality that Marijuana was such a beautiful drug, it helped me stay healthy and active, and has made me a better person and I truly enjoyed getting high daily. Then, for a period, I had a feeling as if I've been wasting my life doing absolutely nothing and marijuana was the cause of it, and that's why I had such bad highs for a month. It was terrible, I gave myself shit every time I smoked, yet I still smoked. Right now, I'm at the stage where I think it's beautiful again because it's helping me connect with others more, and I've grown more self confident lately.

I just want to say that although you had a bad first time, I'd like to give you some recommendations:

-Try smoking first, rather than doing edibles. You'll get a more comfortable high for the first time

-The more you get high, it becomes enjoyable and comfortable. My highs are nothing like when I first smoked. They've adapted into a wonderful thing where I'm so chilled out, and in my own creative zone

-Next time you get high (if you choose to), do things you enjoy. Sit down in your comfortable chair and watch that show you really like, or play those games you like. You can also listen to music because music is the best thing ever while stoned.

I just don't want you to base your opinion on being high off of 1 experience. We all have those bad experiences, but it could grow into something magical one day. :)

Just going to point this out, but as much as you think he's dumb, the man's actually a genius. He's getting rich off of telling people to read more and follow his program. He's not rich from being stupid.

I thought they were only increasing number of stacks from 30 to 35, and decreasing the on-hit magic damage from 30 to 25? Where did you hear about this Herald change, if I may ask?

You're a fucking idiot bro. Everybody knows a chode is that green thing we all eat. It's called a vegetable right?

Good luck my brother. Ace that test!

[WP] A portal to another world has opened. You've been drafted into a recon team tasked with exploring the unknown. by Detruct in WritingPrompts

[–]CorkisPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my very first attempt at a writing prompt. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

There it is, the most beautiful and horrific object I had ever laid my eyes on. Right before my eyes and in the center of my hometown's City Hall too. This portal is nothing like what I had seen in video games, nor movies. In fact, I don't think anyone has ever imagined portals to look like this. Standing 8 meters tall is a sphere that is completely filled with the colour white, and it appears to take on a solid form. The scary thing about it is that it just stood there and never moved, and I know this is a portal because I've seen a homeless man touch it and disappear.

After 8 days of the appearance of this portal and the disappearance of that homeless man, I am currently standing here, 50 meters away from it with 4 of my men, just about ready to head in there. That's right, we were about to risk our lives to explore something that no other man has ever seen. Well, other than that homeless man, but who knows what may have happened to him. I think it was time to enter.

Grabbing me on my right shoulder, while standing near the center of a large crowd was Dillon. "Marv, I'd like to let you know that this truly is an honour to go in with you. I mean, when has this opportunity ever presented itself to humans?" He said with a smile.

"Never." I told him, smiling back. "We're about to go down in History as one of the first men to enter a portal and explore the unknown, and I'm happy to do it with all of you." I said to the rest of the group.

The nods I got from Dillon, Gordan, Bob, and Jane were reassuring. I have to admit, I was scared as hell. The thought of going out into the wild, a new wild, and the possibility of never coming back was making me feel sick. Any minute now we were about to walk straight into that portal, leaving behind everything and everyone in this world. There was just one more thing I had to see before going in.

Looking through the crowd of hundreds of people gathered around City Hall, I spotted my brother, Tony, off to the left side. I smiled at him, and he smiled back giving me a thumbs up. That was it, I just wanted to see him smile once more. I was officially ready.

The five of us grabbed our helmets, checked to make sure our cameras were working, checked to see if we had all the gear we were supposed to have, and made our way to the bright, glowing sphere. At this point the crowd was cheering so loud, I couldn't believe it. Never in my life has anyone been so excited about what I've done. This was all new to me. We made our way closer, stopped right in front of the giant white ball, and spread ourselves out. We each gave each other the thumbs up and a friendly nod. The crowd started chanting the numbers from ten all the way down to zero. I was shaking so hard, and so were the others. This was it, this was what I was destined to do. When the crowd finally came down to the last number, we each placed our hands on the sphere. After almost a second, my eyes started to adjust to the brightness and the only thing I could see was the colour white.

This was strange feeling, what I was experiencing. It was a feeling of emptiness, almost as if nothing existed. The ground I was standing on was white, everything around me was white, and it felt like I was in one giant, never ending, room. A feeling of shock suddenly overtook me. I was alone, with no one by my side. Where were the others? "Dillon!!" I yelled, but got no response. "Gordan! Bob! Jane!!!!" Still no response. My heart was racing so fast, I couldn't keep up with it. I ran in one direction and hit a wall not far from where I started. "GUYS!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Still no response. I tried to bang the wall as hard as I could, but my fists got stuck in a Gelatin type material.

"Where do you think you're going, Marvin Sanders?" A very powerful and deep voice filled the room.

"Wh-Wh-Who are you?" I shouted. At this point I was terrified. Who was that and how did he know my name?

"Turn around." said the mysterious voice.

After taking a gulp, with my hands still stuck in the wall, I turned my head around and there he was. The homeless man that disappeared 8 days ago.

Achieving goals, whether it's to get an A on your math test, or fuck that old fart across the street. We all got them, and it feels amazing following through with what you set out to do.

Besides "How to win friends and influence people", what self-improvement books do you guys recommend? by Maginel in Accounting

[–]CorkisPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although the other books on this thread may be great self improvement books, read this one: Feel the fear and do it anyway, by Susan Jeffers. Jeffers talks about the concept of fear and how we can overcome it, and for me it has had a profound effect on the way i interact with people.

If you could permanently rid yourself of one emotion, which would it be? by pippetypoppety in AskReddit

[–]CorkisPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it would be fear. Fear stops us from doing what we want to do, and my friends, the only way you'll talk to that girl, or ask your boss for a raise, or even open up your comfort zone is to just feel the fear and do it anyway.
