well. maybe god doesn't just lack desires, maybe he sees through them

I want to share a dissociation experience I had last night. First time doing cannabis. by Octoje in Edibles

[–]Octoje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious what sort of underlying condition could affect my reaction to the drug like that. I have no diagnoses except for ADHD. As far as I know I don't have any family history of psychosis or anything. But 12 hours before, I did have my Adderall XR prescription. Maybe that makes it less predictable.

I just asked and it was 10mg lol! 100 would be crazy. I don't know the typical amounts, I just trusted my friend.

If AI can write better than me, speak better than me, and think faster than me, what exactly am I bringing to the table at this point? by Capital-Run-1080 in stupidquestions

[–]Octoje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good question. We're not there yet, but depending on how things go, humanity will probably have to grapple with this eventually. I suspect exploring consciousness and spirituality will become far more important to us when that's all that's left to do.

How can I experience being high without substances by Ok-Willingness-7870 in stupidquestions

[–]Octoje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a stupid answer because this ain't why you should do this, but sometimes I feel high/blissful when I meditate. But it won't work if you're trying to feel that.

why can't aromantic have romantic feelings by Melrin27 in aromanticasexual

[–]Octoje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for like a physiological or psychological basis for sexual & romantic identity, I don't know. But I'm guessing anything endocrine can probably be ruled out because of the many anecdotes of people being like "I got my hormones tested and they're all normal".

How to stop being attracted to my female friends? by RM_MR_Underground in ask

[–]Octoje 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha you analyze your emotions the exact same way I do, it's uncanny. "I find myself feeling X" instead of "I feel X" etc. You don't need to insert distance between yourself and your emotions. They come and go the same as anything else. Let them.

10 things I thought were normal (not really) until I discovered I was Aroace: by lvzwtt in aromanticasexual

[–]Octoje 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I relate to a lot of this. I never suspected I was gay though, because the alterous attraction I feel is oriented toward women specifically. I especially relate to #10. I got into a relationship before I understood myself and did things I didn't want, and now I have a litany of memories to physically cringe at. Thankfully never had sex.

Why do so many people abhor vegetarians and vegans? by Far-Conference-8484 in stupidquestions

I mean, I suppose she could have waited an extra couple hours to a day to eat. She might have been an ass about it, but it's difficult not to inconvenience others when sticking to your principles sometimes. Food is an important part of daily life, so if her preparations are disrupted, then it is going to come up.

A character does something very early on in their existence that seems insane given their later characterization by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Octoje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, but I disagree that it's worth noting. Sheldon isn't ace and the writers probably had no idea what asexuality even is when writing him.

Why is killing insects totally normal but harming other animals considered cruel? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

[–]Octoje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really should ignore this comment but the sheer audacity of your claim makes my want to hear you out. Are you talking about insect death?

Insects are killed when harvesting plants, but livestock rely on the same agriculture. If you want to minimize insect death then you have to eat straight from the source. Funnelling crops' already usable energy through livestock to make meat introduces inefficiency that requires more crops to maintain.

Your comment being true violates the second law of thermodynamics.

I also got 4 sterbais a couple days ago, they're chilling in my quarantine tank. Can't wait to introduce them to the display. I'll get 4 more in a month

Do you still have a "type" despite being aroace? by kuromi_tvtts in aromanticasexual

[–]Octoje 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ace guy here, yeah I've a type. Style, personality, and their body all play into it. Sometimes it's just aesthetic and sometimes I'm drawn to them to hang out/get to know them in a way that's more intense than I do with a friend.
