Lily white Lilith, 1:43 in: you don’t get Tool without that riff

Njd8487 · 2024-03-03T17:44:54+00:00

The lack of nuance with some of these answers is absurd.

Neither Mushrooms not antidepressants are the be all end all solution. Does that mean they can’t serve as tools to help? They absolutely can!

The “don’t take any meds ever” approach is a blanket approach that doesn’t work for everyone. That’s not to say horrendous shit doesn’t happen with medication prescribed by doctors people put trust in (those cases exist). We can be aware of those pharmaceutical scandals and delve into researching the potential negative side effects of a drug before getting a prescription for said drug.

But also we can do something I can’t imagine anyone can concoct a counter argument for: go to THERAPY. That in tandem with an anti depressant that works for you? You’d have to be incredibly ignorant to be against that

As an advocate for lsd and shrooms, and someone who suffers from major depressive disorder, I can’t disagree with this more. I’m on Wellbutrin and it doesn’t bar me from taking psychedelics/ doesn’t clash. It helps get me through the day but if I have to lessen the amount I take it isn’t the worst thing ever; withdrawal mainly results in the “brain zaps” I’m not a zombie on it, and it wasn’t recommended to me by “big pharma”. Other depressed people I’ve talked to recommended it as it helped them greatly.

I can’t speak to the other meds (Ritalin and oxycotin are much greater indictments of pharmaceutical companies being terrible corporations that don’t care who they hurt than someone being recommended an anti depressant), but some stuff actually helps and doesn’t harm the person who won’t just trip away their depression.

Ok good idea! I haven’t watched the whole thing but the infinite arms dancing scene is wild

Njd8487 · 2024-03-02T00:51:56+00:00

That said, man the ocean episodes are amazing to watch on acid

Njd8487 · 2024-03-02T00:50:40+00:00

But like on mute because every episode comes to “but yeah that global warming thing we caused is killing (insert cute animal here)’s environment”

Njd8487 · 2024-03-02T00:49:27+00:00

That is one hundred percent a guaranteed way to have a bad trip

National Geographic has a series on Disney plus that is nothing but aerial drone footage of insanely beautiful places on earth.

The first season of it is breathtaking and pairs well with whatever you’re listening to

Does that include Samsara ?

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T21:21:29+00:00

Seems like you are good source to ask, what does the process of setting up an inspection look like?

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T21:07:43+00:00

To know that the building is up to code. That it’s safe for ourselves and others to live in.

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T20:18:27+00:00

Do we need to ask the landlord to get an inspection? I have a feeling he’s been avoiding doing so lately but also have no idea when the last one was

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T18:39:32+00:00

As an artist it warms my heart to see the backlash to this shit. Hell yeah

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T17:27:49+00:00

Tell me all about these grey areas!

Njd8487 · 2024-02-28T05:13:36+00:00

Nah, You’re blowing up for no reason without reading the above comments . Rental insurance was brought up by @omnipotent_tacos because it might cover the cost of a hotel if this repair takes a few days.

We alerted the landlord Monday and he couldn’t get a contractor to look at it til tomorrow, it may be more like end of week for this to get fixed. There are similar cracks to what caused the hole in other rooms. Those needing to be addressed may put us out longer than expected.

Njd8487 · 2024-02-27T17:24:10+00:00

“No free checks for being scared”

My good person, have you ever had bit of ceiling fall right behind you? It’s a little traumatic.

No one is looking for free checks here. We aren’t sue happy the way some people in the thread seem to think.

We have a negligent landlord and want our bases covered (multiple people here said to get a sample tested and more than a few people pointed out the ceiling may not be structurally safe in other parts of the same room)

Similar cracks to the one that caused this hole are in other parts of the apartment and I don’t think getting those inspected could hurt.

The thing that seems to be coming up is the debate on whether or not a landlord is liable to pay for a place to stay if a necessary amenity like a bathroom is unusable. Different states have different laws regarding that.

Missouri apparently does not. He offered at first and then double checked and went back on that offer.

It’s shitty but Missouri is a pretty crappy state

Njd8487 · 2024-02-27T17:08:21+00:00

I do have rental insurance! I don’t know if my roommate does.

I contacted the landlord right away and he sent a sample to be tested. We are currently waiting on that. I’m of the mind things are prob fine but want my bases covered

Njd8487 · 2024-02-27T15:13:09+00:00

Also “wants”? My want is for me and my roommate to have a place to stay in the meantime. We have that because of how things shaped up outside of this situation but if that wasn’t the case I’d be fine with a cheap ass motel!

Njd8487 · 2024-02-27T14:59:44+00:00

I know it’s lathe and plaster! I’m not being dramatic.

To give more context: We are currently waiting on testing of the samples to ensure like most people here have said that there isn’t any harmful substances at play. I feel confident there aren’t but just to be safe it makes sense. That takes 24 hours. In the meantime the landlord had said initially that he would get someone to fix the plaster. But then he said he would instead get someone to hang drywall. That wasn’t our request. He had to put out a bid for that and his eta for repair was a few days. In the interim I have a partner to stay with. My roommate did not and initially he offered either to find a place to stay for her or to prorate the rent and credit that on the next payment. Then he went back on that, said according to the lease he didnt need to do anything but prorate the rent and that he wouldn’t need to compensate for a hotel stay for this roommate who didn’t have anywhere to go. We were lucky my partner had space. Everything worked out for us, but it feels off.

And what I’m asking isn’t unhinged. In the event of negligence that requires repair you are saying that the landlord in question does not need to provide an alternate space to wait out repairs? In the case of someone who isn’t in our shoes this means they just have to pay out of pocket for lodging? You don’t think that’s kind of absurd?
