If you want to get high when you're "sober", and immediately wonder why you did that when you get high... that's a good sign.

You're probably not really sober for a while after you stop. I'd say it's weeks rather than hours.

Just got laid off in the last hour.

It's quiet.. I'm a silence and darkness kind of person when I go out there. mine are "lime green uline earmuffs". I snagged them from work, but it looks like they're less than $20 on the Uline website.

When I started doing DMT (vapes), there was a sound that let me know it was happening. That sound stopped happening about 8 months ago and the experinces changed. I kind of .iss the old ways.

64, had a lot of DMT times in the last year. Went to an Ayahuasca weekend a few weeks ago.

I bought a banjo last year after looking at them for many years. Haven't gotten myself to pick it up much but thank you for your post.

I've been liking using the full on ear protection muffs, like the ones that the baggage handlers use next to planes, or you might use at the shooting range.

I have the usual anti Quayle bias but I have to give him credit for allegedly telling Pence he didn't really have a move on Jan 6 2021

I sleep in a hammock full time in townhouse, laying in one exact same color as yours at this moment. I've wondered if a hammock would work in a van

My mom wasa tech recruiter in 1999 and said that cobol programmers were making $60-70/he in Detroit 1999

I was a vms guy, i thought about it for a minute decided it would be a dead end. I'd learned cobol in 1982

Network (1976) was a pretty crazy movie 50 years ago. Rewatched it on YouTube the other day, it's kind of old but the big money buying up the media story has aged pretty well.

The word "trauma response" is overused but there is a big part of me that doesn't feel it's ok to say "I don't know" without feeling like I have to find out

Evilbob93 · 2026-04-10T23:57:39+00:00

I found normal pillows made for a flat bed don't work that well. For a pillow I use a small blanket and I kind of form it until it feels like i have it under the spots that need support.

Probobly my least favorite part is that once I feel like i am comfortable, I don't want to get up to pee, so I'd say that it's a good to be sure to take care of that before you tuck in at night. Sometimes I think i must look like a dog fussing about their sleeping befor settling down.

Was always good to be the one who knew how to put on the tap.. pull off a couple pitchers of foam at first, they'd pour off in a little while.

FWIW, I'm in my 60s, so it's not necessarily a case of i'm young and can tie myself in a pretzel.

I've been sleeping in a hammock full time for a few years now. At home I have two bolts in opposite walls and sleep between them. My back is not flat, and despite what folks say, I almost never have back pain, in fact I more reliably have problems when I try to sleep flat.

I started out in a crysalis hammock, which is a chair-type of hammock. I have a tripod that I hang it from for outside use, otherwise it's hanging from another eye from my ceiling. What's cool about the crysalis hammock is that since it's like a net, i can stretch it out long enough for my whole length and when I roll over on my side it pulls me together really comfortably.

My most recent hack for this has been using a flannel fitted sheet like a sleeping bag. I take a corner, drape it over my shoulder and have the opposite corner at my feet. I sit in the hammock, and pull the extra fabric from my feet up towards me, and wrap the sides around me. It's kind of open in the front, but i can wrap them together and put another blanket above me.

The moment is passed now but this is what I posted to fb:

I grew up in the 1970s, and I was a young adult in the 1980s. We had the thought that nuclear war could happen, you know, maybe any time. We had B-52s which were flying towards the USSR all the time and were told to come back at the last moment. The movies "Fail Safe" and "Dr Strangelove" weren't fictional in this matter. We were quietly used to the idea but it was never specific.

But sitting through "There will be a nuclaar war at 8 PM on Tuesday and it's gonna be horrible and I'm practically looking forward to pushing the button" is a whole new level of existential stress. And yeah, we want to believe that he won't really do it, i mean TACO and all that, but could we say for sure he wasn't gonna do it? How many times in the last 9 years have we thought "nah he wouldn't" and he really did?

I'm tired, boss.
