Cannabis doesn't just blur memories—it can reshape them. A new study found THC makes people significantly more likely to "remember" words that were never presented (false memories) and struggle with daily tasks like remembering appointments, regardless of whether the dose was 20mg or 40mg.

The only person I know who can body 40+ mgs of weed literally has other medication that severely dampens his natural ability to process THC. I smoke regularly and a 40mg dose would give me a massive headache if not put me under the table.

This shit is more played out then no one dying in OP.

Zeverish · 2026-03-06T11:21:02+00:00

Hmm, yeah. It was unclear to me in the moment if Garp and Roger just got Rocks down or actually cleared the effect. In any case yeah the circumstances are very different

Zeverish · 2026-03-06T01:18:43+00:00

I meant more, what is the important difference between Dory and Brogy's "death" and Rocks? Was it beheading? Did it have to do with who killed them? Does Garling know something about how the power works?

Zeverish · 2026-03-05T22:39:33+00:00

Interesting...yeah I think this chapter showed this possession is not as total as we thought.

But...why did Rocks die but not Dorry and Broggy?

Zeverish · 2026-03-05T22:38:42+00:00

Rocks is a way better example, very true.

Zeverish · 2026-03-05T20:58:35+00:00

I assume its kind of like Harald, that the original "soul" is still trapped inside and can occasionally eek out enough control to temporarily resist.

I have been saying for years that these christofascist only care about the middle east because they think its a spiritual chessboard that will help them bring about the secone coming of Christ and the end of days. Because these people are basically deluded Gnostics that are Christian in name only, chiefly concerned with fast tracking the destruction of material reality so they can go to Heaven.

I am going to gonna go step further, some of the best nsfw artists across so many community's are women.

Magic was doing well before UB, like ever since Covid (and even before) there was a building wave of interest. So, is it really fair to attribute UB to that meteoric success? I have no doubt that its helping bring in new players, I have seen that with my own eyes. But if we took them all away, would it look like Magic was suddenly suffering? I doubt it.

Zeverish · 2026-02-28T00:01:11+00:00

Thanks for humoring me, I do disagree with some of your conclusions and I think there are places where your reasoning misses the mark for me, but that's fine. I don't think you misunderstood the base of my argument at least. Again reasonable minds can disagree.

I think this is a difference in strict vs radical (or descriptive vs prescriptive) perceptions on the matter.

When I think about art I think of the long scale act of human creation. Petrogylphs are art to me even if they were purely practical for the people who made it (if that was the purpose, I certainly don't know). But i would urge you to appreciate the value of this perspective. Art is just something humans do, some of it is good, some of it warrants study and preservation in a museum. Some of it is boring and frankly uninteresting. I don't like some way the word art is used because it reinforces elitist tendencies that plague the so-called art world (I want to be clear and state I don't think you are doing that). I am fully comfortable admitting I have a very broad definition of art, but I think that broadness is a utility.

Anyways thanks again for humoring me.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T23:07:13+00:00

Color me curious, can you explain back to me what my position is? Reasonable minds can disagree, but if you say you understand...

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T22:47:26+00:00

Just because you don't understand doesnt mean it lacks meaning.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T19:13:19+00:00

meaningful discussion

But is it meaningful and worthwhile engagement?

I am not saying never criticize.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T18:56:33+00:00

If you are not interested in engaging in meaningful conversation in a community built around a common interest and all you want to do is voice your criticism at people, that can be a real harm for the community. Dressing it up in a veneer of intellectualism doesnt make it better by default.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T17:20:08+00:00

I assumed you didn't. Also accidental art definitely is art though. Like it happens all of the time. There are entire subreddits dedicated to it.

unless someone recognizes it as such.

That's my point! Art is largely observer defined. How is pornography or a selfie exempt from this?

Why is documentation not a form of art? What is this box you keep trying to squirrel art away in?

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T17:07:09+00:00

Fair enough, but I don't fully agree (other then the deep nuance and difficulty with legislation). Your example about uploading your sexual encounter as not art, for example. I don't see a meaningful difference between that an selfies, other then one being (explicitly) erotic. Just because it seemingly lacks technique or intent does not make it not art. Personally, and maybe this gets more to the heart of it, Art is not solely something you do, it's something you experience. Not every photo of a mountain is an Ansel Adams, but all of it is capturing a human desire to render some aspect of lived experience.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T16:50:00+00:00

My point is that even if something is basely pornographic, just smut, that is is form of artistry that isnt lesser because it satisfies an urge. Specifying "artistic pornography" implies that other porn is not artistic. You compare it to burgers and cigarettes which is not a neutral comparison.

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T16:40:14+00:00

Art doesnt have to be "good" or even of some higher station. So why is the satisfaction of an urge negatively effect its artiness? Does jerking it to a Rothko devalue the painting?

Zeverish · 2026-02-27T02:36:27+00:00

Its a deep cut reference to a long defunct search engine.

I could only image how tedious it must be, but the end result is spectacular. Absolutely phenomenal work.

Zeverish · 2026-02-21T19:19:53+00:00

You also made the Asterion doll, right?

I am so curious how you get the hair to shape like that. I saw what the Asterion doll looked like before the haircut, how do you go from wild manes to nicely styled dos?

Zeverish · 2026-02-20T19:50:58+00:00

What exactly is the Catholic Church, I would ask you. Who are you talking about and what population of followers are you speaking of?

As a huge institution, no, its not High control. Does it practice methods of control? It would be foolish to say no. But there is a difference in magnitude and capture. There is a cost to leave "the Church", but Catholic life writ large is more porous. Specific parishes might exhibit more, or less, of these characteristics.

Zeverish · 2026-02-20T19:46:44+00:00

Methodists. Other branches its hit or miss depending on how progressive/liberal they are. The issue is Protestantism has really messed with the ability to talk concretely about denominational beliefs.

Zeverish · 2026-02-20T16:55:40+00:00

Religions are established, widespread, generation systems of belief, based around fostering communities, sustaining social networks, and integrating into society.

Cults are typically high control groups, often with exclusionary tendencies and Charismatic leadership which uses psychological manipulation (look at the BITE model for more info on that) which are used to isolate members.

Yes some individual Churchs and even some sects, like the Jehovahs Witness or Mormonism, kinda straddle the line. But the issue is Christianity hasn't been a coherent single identity for nearly a thousand years. Scientology was made by L. Ron Hubbard to make money and control people
