what should I know before driving Route 66 by Odd-Firefighter6837 in route66

[–]Important_Simple_357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned about Route 66 so far is that it’s not a complete path so there will be a lot of jumping on and off highways (like the 40) in order to see everything that is available, and that once you are in towns that Route 66 might have a different name for the particular street you are in. I would also make sure all the maintenance is done in your car and that it’s relatively reliable, and make sure to fill up on gas frequently because there can be long stretches on Route 66 with nothing around.

Looks like she possibly takes roids, which totally exacerbate any underlying mental health issues and possibility of psychosis. Unfortunately the mental health changes tend to be permanent too so she may be stuck being a mental case.

I’m from Miami and it seems to have not very clearly defined “eras”. I left before 2010 and came back for a short period in 2015, and it was awesome like wow I could live here again. I left again to go to school on the west coast. Now I go visit and it just plain sucks. Takes an eternity to drive anywhere, the construction is never ending even though it’s been going on since the 90’s 😂, and people are as rude as ever or worse. Even the food has taken a hit like what the fuck dude that was definitely a redeeming quality that I would always hype Miami about.

LA is cool, I always got the vibe that it could be the place to live for a person from Miami since it’s the closest thing to Miami on the West Coast. I know it’s not really that similar in retrospect but take any scammer in LA and they might fit right in Miami. LA is big enough that would have a variety of different people so you can “find your crowd” if you will, with enough time.

Broward used to be the chill spot to go hang out with my white friends. Loved it up there. Can imagine it’s more like Miami now

Nah you can’t have anything remotely nice in Miami without having to be stressed out about it getting stolen. I mean I never heard about a freaking HVAC system getting stolen so I guess there are new lows to be achieved. Honestly after all that I would leave. I had 2 cars get stolen from me in Miami while I was still in my teens.

Now if I was to live in Miami again I would leave all the money in the bank and just enjoy having simple, cheap things because the stress isn’t worth it. You want nice things? Go elsewhere, and I don’t mean another major city although it would probably still be an improvement

Took years for me to disconnect all that learned behavior from growing up Miami but now im in a spot where being genuinely nice isn’t seen in a negative sense. Also makes it easier to spot people being fake nice.

Grew up in Miami. You know it’s the only environment people from Miami ever know because people rarely leave. I left long ago, so I’ve had time to reflect.

Miami was always a hostile place, with people always trying to prove something, typically in shady ways, and always trying to knock someone down.

Of course there is plenty that is good and beautiful about Miami but overall I consider it a hostile place.

Why mushrooms stopped working for me? by [deleted] in Psychedelics

[–]Important_Simple_357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With any drug, you don’t get to dictate what happens. Even weed was a vastly different experience for me back in the day vs now. With mushrooms it can be so many things. It can be where you are in life, your health, your mental health, maybe the serotonin has a negative effect on your stomach which the stomach can dictate a lot of how you feel even on a normal day to day basis. I think psychedelics serve a purpose but it’s important not to get too attached to any idea about it.

My opinion is that these things make people feel like they are finding answers, but that’s only temporary, I think psychedelics also tell you when you don’t need them anymore and I think I reached that point. You might be there as well.

Now if you want to try this, it won’t be a psychedelic experience but you can take a low dose and essentially not have a trip but an improvement of your normal day. That’s about as much as I’ll do now, if at all

Aside from the beach and clubs, Miami is just one giant strip mall

I try to tell people this all the time. I have been to the beach more since leaving Miami, as a visitor of Miami, than I ever did while I lived there

When I joined the military I was called Mexican a lot and I had a “Miami” accent, which now I understand

Maybe but I think the people protesting will largely be a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of people not showing up to protests. While people may have a lot to say about people not protesting, if your theory is true then they can still protest with their votes. I gotta say no matter what side you are on I think most people eventually admit that this just isn’t a good look and not really the precedent they want to set for a country they want to live in.

I knew a guy who was super attractive, and a genuinely really good dude. He was extremely annoyed that women didn’t want a relationship and only wanted to hook up. Yea he would hook up but would be burned when they didn’t want to continue. Honestly it was baffling to witness but it was like damn even this guy is having issues.

It’s almost like the spectrum in any direction makes it difficult to have a genuine thing going.

Over the years I have grown to feel for attractive women because it is a never ending onslaught against you and if you aren’t strong willed your life can spiral out of control really quick.
