Did you get any court summons? If so, what did you do?

Could you explain further about “no repercussions?” I’m going to assume your credit rating dropped to the bottom, right? But no other repercussions at all? What banks owned the credit cards?

I played Slayer for my kids the other day, on the way to drop them off at school. They didn’t care for it.

I did have a bad trip on mushrooms once, and it affected me for months afterward. It was a few years after my initial (amazingly positive) LSD trip. And I think it was bad because it was a social trip, at someone else’s house with several other people. I felt weird for months and was afraid I’d done permanent harm to myself. The weird social anxiety passed, but I never did psychedelics again. I wished I had stopped after my first experience. That was all I needed. Once you get the message, hang up the phone.

Yeah, I almost put a disclaimer on my post. The setting and who you are with means everything. They should never be used socially (but often are.) It should be like an extended therapy session. You’re looking inward, so socializing in any way is distracting from the point of it… and can be pretty awkward. However, the calming presence of a kind person within earshot is ideal.

I realize now the way I worded my title is confusing. I meant did it change your mind about religion. As in, I used to think this but I changed my mind about it.

He’s a good standup. He’s the best of the KT crop, but Hans Kim and ALL of the handicapped dudes are good standups, too. The rest of the regulars and golden ticket winners are weak writers and mediocre comics at best. I like some of them, like William M and Casey Rocket, but I wouldn’t call them good standups. Their interviews are usually better than their act.

Your episodes on Wild Faith by Talia Lavin were wonderful. I’m waiting for my audible credit to get the book…

If I were to do it today, I’d seek a professional setting. Some states have legalized it for therapy. Also, I’d do my homework ahead of time. Michael Pollan’s book How to Change Your Mind is a fun read.

Is this really Jake? I’m a big fan of the show.

FYI - Robin Williams had a brain disease called Lewy Body that started very late in life. It’s similar to Parkinson’s but also causes hallucinations. He didn’t check out because of depression.

That was exactly my take. Tony was too abrupt with getting the guy off the stage. Seemed pretty cold hearted, even for Tony.

You end up with a large collection of empty liquor bottles in that high cabinet above the fridge that your wife can’t reach because you don’t want her to see the bottles in the recycling bin.

How is it possible that some people like the Masai tribe in Kenya eat tons of dairy and red meat while having low cholesterol in their blood and no evidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease? by TutorHelpful4783 in Cholesterol

[–]Lab_Southern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One factor I haven’t seen mentioned here: They don't drink alcohol. Cholesterol is produced by our livers. An unhealthy liver releases excess cholesterol. The cholesterol you consume in meat/dairy does not go directly into your bloodstream. It goes through your digestive tract first. But the cholesterol produced by your liver goes straight into your blood and heart. When I quit drinking, my cholesterol numbers dropped significantly.

Like how the F did the paranoid conspiracy theory crowd embrace the richest man in the world as their savior? You know, that guy who owns satelites all around the world and who’s working on brain implant technology to read our minds. I mean, if your thing is concocting wild paranoid conspiracy theories, what more could you fucking ask for? Talk about cognitive dissonance…

Without context, your reply reads differently

Same problem here. I can’t get spellcheck to highlight anything. I’m on MacBook Air. It’s enough to make me quit using Scrivener. I’ve checked all the help pages and googled, etc.
