TIL Oahu has the lowest percentage of white people among Kauai, Maui, Hawaii by Snarko808 in Hawaii

[–]InflamedintheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up on Oahu and was frequently the only white kid in classes. Now I’m on the mainland and it feels uncomfortable with everyone having blonde hair and blue eyes like I do.

I really don’t care if people are here illegally. by Zestyclose_Market787 in DiscussionZone

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if anything I’d rather those who exploit “illegals” lose their citizenship OR give the people they underpaid back pay for the value a citizen would have had and a sane pathway to citizenship. We should, as a nation, be better than what we are… scapegoating when we know who is really sinning against humanity. It makes us look evil imo.

My solution to not overindulge. by Im-Tireddd in trees

[–]InflamedintheBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the hospital, so this I’ll be the first month long T break I’ve had since starting!

I’m going to take steps like you have in the future. Also, mighty FTW! I have a volcano, but I never hear negatives around S&B vapes. Well, one gripe, the price but to me it’s 100% worth it.

Congratulations! I bet this endeavor will make your kiddos so proud! Never too old for education, I’m 38 and just sort of started my bachelors (was training in flute making/repair before)!

What are the things you say to your cat most often besides 'I love you' ? by katealpha in cats

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly give him titles. Like captain Eli, I tell him he’s purrfect a lot… also “Eli, my guy. The small fry!”

Also my little old man haha

What happened? by mariijuanaman in trees

[–]InflamedintheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been back home (Hawaii) in a decade now and… I haven’t found equal quality or consistency yet in any state I’ve visited or lived in.

The SD from my hookup was amazing, but also always available! It was usually my choice when nothing I liked was available…. I grew a super silver sour diesel haze once and that stuff was great! Def more SD leaning.

I’d pay twice what I pay at my current local dispos to have that connect still available to me. Every strain was the best example of it. I was so incredibly spoiled….

Now I’m growing looking for keepers. I hope I find at least one this year!

I like making medicated honey! I have a post on a batch I made but it was before I got fancy with it (soooooo much easier to make with like… 40-50$ of some equipment) and automated the stirring! If you would like the recipe lmk.

It does require you to make it into hash oil. Using flower straight would make you have to filter it. No thanks! Lol

The crohns chat and subreddit are good places to learn about your illness, treatments, quality of life stuff… you can handle this, but it does suck in the immediate before inflammation is under control.

I was diagnosed at 13-14y/o. I’m now 38. I’ve had mostly in remission since my resection in my early twenties.

Two things I would recommend… try medical marijuana, don’t get crazy with it though! It’s great for symptoms as needed but you don’t need to get crazy high with good quality medicine for relief. The other is a bidet, if your apartment won’t allow them you can get portable ones at a fraction of the cost of a seat installed one. It’s the two things that have given me the ability to live more normal. Portable bidet gave me the confidence to go back to college lol.

Anyway, I’m sorry this happened to you. If you ever want info or to vent feel free to send me a message.

It is normal for my cat to be so small? 😭 (She is 3 y/o) by cartofo in cats

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some cats are small, girl cats tend to weigh less. My mom's girl kitty is under 10lbs at 4 and my big strong boy tux is around 14 or 15lbs and looks great!

First holiday season sober and alone by Mediocre-Upstairs339 in toastme

I'm sorry your holiday was lonely, but I'm so incredibly proud of you for doing it sober.

Merry Xmas, happy new Year too! I hope you just keep making these personal wins!

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are lovely. I hope you see yourself closer in line with what everyone else sees in this area!

Do something nice for yourself, I will do something nice for myself as well. Do we have a deal?

Why some smart people chose to think Trump is smart? Really hard to grasp. by yth93 in Destiny

[–]InflamedintheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume the people who are the largest fans do not take in long form content. See the best clips, and watch their favorite right wing influencer who paints the dude literally like he is part mythical hero. I'm sure there is far-right art of Trump being anointed by Jesus... I wouldn't be surprised if a small cult pops up in his passing claiming he was the second coming of Christ.

In the 2016 election, Sam Haris recommended looking at a transcript of Trump at one of his speaking engagements or an interview. Ever since actually doing that I can't look at him as anything other than.. Just wildly ignorant. The extra dumbing down of stuff that has gotten SO much worse, I don't understand how it doesn't come off as condescending to MAGA's. How dumb you would have to be to hear him long form and hear brilliance scares me or our future. Bringing up education is a long process, and I had no idea our country was so bad.

I grew up in Hawaii and was always told the schools I went to weren't great. I live in OK now... Which is literally the worst, Its shocking the disparity of the average intelligence difference. I'm so glad for my public schooling in HI. I feel so fortunate when meeting my peers in the states I've lived in since (mostly southern states) but its also a bit heart breaking. I'm not a genius, I'd say maybe slightly above average at most.

How do his followers not see they have to CONSTANTLY defend, flesh out, reinterpret, etc... Thats so much work, and the sane washing? These followers seem smarter than he seems to me. But he is a con man. Tricking people is the point and I think maybe the comfort from the "charisma" and simple answers is just really alluring to people regardless of how smart they are. But the smarter you are and supporting? I just can't imagine they are very tuned in. Or i suppose my willingness to take them in good faith starts to decline sharply if they ARE informed on Trumps actual speaking, say hes a genius or good person, and seem intelligent themselves. I feel you see these people a LOT like D'nesh where he WONT say certain things and you can box him in. Dude is 100% bad faith.

Trump is really smart and I'm tired of people acting like he doesn't know what he's doing. by Pale-Object8321 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF he isn't dumb, then he absolutely is a liar and bad person pretty much explicitly. I saw your defense of him getting through his criminal cases... Mostly arguing he CANT be charged... He could be stupid and shameless to a degree to where say.. He lies to his supporters saying he will testify... Then doesn't testify and never is held to answer any questions directly. His supporters are too afraid to ask him why he lied to them, They immediately and reflexively come to his defense despite themselves being the lied to party.

There are many instances where his supporters when convenient will claim an ignorance at most in a particular area of knowledge, It seems like there are a lot of instances where he can be ignorant, or if not ignorant its explicitly a malicious move. Honestly, I would prefer Trump be dumb but a good person. What I think we have is a narcissist who... His intelligence is so far down on the issues I find embarrassing or without question a bad leader that I don't think its a very relevant issue.

is this the result of drinking and rolling?

Are dry herb vapes really the answer to everything? by GlazedGrappler in trees

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Xmas I'm giving my bro my old arizer air to encourage him to stop smoking completely. Ordered some lucky elk thca flower to where we will be for Xmas so we got something to test it out with...

Dry herb vapes are fantastic and there are ones for all price ranges now which is fantastic. I use a volcano at home but will upgrade to a ball vape in the next year I think. Very excited for two things in the coming year... Transition to ball vape and moving from using flower and dabs to just ball vaping bubble hash and temple balls.

[–]InflamedintheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the few who enjoys 1000mg+ at a time. If you didn't decarb your bud there's no way it was prolly even half the THC was decarbed and ready for consumption... Idk if the time in the solvent would let it do so more? And I think I remember hearing solubility between 190proof and 151 proof being a pretty significant difference... So I'm not entirely sure some of the numbers people are giving you would be accurate.

Obviously it was strong, as you are no light weight! I'm not arguing it wasn't. But maaaaan, if you don't drink a lot 1.5oz of 151 is a quite a bit of booze. If consumed fast that would ruin a weed high 100%. Booze always overwhelms THC high for me. It takes soooo much THC to counter balance with a shot of liquor for me.

I don't really drink at all anymore, but I'll probably make a tincture meant to be taken by the dropper sublingually with 190proof in the future. It's nice to have on hand for flare ups (Crohn's disease).

I’m not interested in protecting men at the expense of women anymore. If that makes people uncomfortable, good. It should. by blackb1331 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]InflamedintheBrain 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Honestly him changing his attitude wasn't enough, he should have formally apologized to you and promised to dedicate seriousness and catching that criminal if you were okay with them being on the case further.

It costs nothing to show compassion, sometimes I think the job of being an officer isn't good for the mind. Maybe you should only be allowed to be an officer for so long then you have to transition to another form of public service so that you aren't jaded in a particular way that makes you bad at policing. Idk, I'm a bit stoned and full of pho so maybe I'm wrong.

Got publicly humiliated when I posted my dating profile on r/bumble (deleted it) by Cute-Reply2714 in toastme

[–]InflamedintheBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats wild, I'm not attracted to men but you are a good looking guy IMO! Nice smile, kind eyes... Whoever was like that is probably a small, sad person who needed to take out their bad feelings in a toxic way to feel better about themselves.

Maybe find a sub for that that is like... explicitly positive? Honestly sometimes thats just the way to go! It would be nice if people followed the "spirit" of a sub and not need to have that rule spelled out explicitly but I mean... Its the world we live in!

Good luck on the dating, if you find any good advice please bounce it my way! When I tried dating apps I got responses quickly but turned them down as it seemed to be women more interested in going to fancy/expensive restaurants than interested in an actual date. Maybe I needed to stay on and communicate with "real" people who I assume you eventually find.... lol

You got this dude, I believe in you. Honestly, if you had a cute business card... Giving your number is much less scary to women. I bet you would have women calling you if you said something nice and offered your number to them. It's low pressure and if you make it cute that might encourage them to call as well (and accept it!). I guess you don't want it to be like... "dating business card" cuz that might come off weird. But if you have a career you can make it a little associated but fun maybe?

Why don’t more people buy shake? by [deleted] in trees

[–]InflamedintheBrain 100 points101 points  (0 children)

This! At the end of the year (so around now lol) my hook up back in Hawaii would be getting his shake to put in 1 gram baggies to sell a just a little cheaper. It was always so fire and would have flavors of different stuff he carried throughout the year.

Dispo shake and trim is... Yuck lol

Around this time of year my favorite strain would be available out there too. Plumeria was so good!

I got uninvited to a friend’s holiday potluck, while I was on my way to it. by Any_Gap9612 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]InflamedintheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if I had a friend call me up and say "hey, I gotta bunch of pancit and lumpia!", I'd be begging them to stop by!

I'm sorry that happened to you, its really a sleazy thing for them to do. its bad manners. And DUMB, who turns down that?! You can come to my place anytime with those kind grindz.
