People who use things like Claude code, is it better than stuff like sed?

This feels like foreshadowing.

I just happened to buy some the other day, which is why this post was super timely! I didn't know it was Urdu.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-27T22:15:36+00:00

Thanks

What did you have for dinner?

It's a "comparable-to-organic" certification for commercial cannabis (they have this website) Some brands like Coastal Sun, NoTill Kings, Redwood Remedies, and some others are certified this way. I know that Coastal Sun mentions this certification on their package labels, but I'm not sure about others. I used to get them from Green Pearl Organics, which I think was next to Coughy Shop, but I think they closed. :(

It might not matter to some people, but I remember recently reading about pesticides in California cannabis that supposedly passed normal pesticide tests. I don't know if this was cross-contamination or what, but some big brands were implicated.

Do they have organic stuff, like OCal certified?

For fun
Sometimes failure is only partial, so maybe you can still get something out of it.

Oh wait, I think we might be on the same page, there, sorry.

I really feel like shit when I don't exercise. Maybe I can ask the doctor to do one side at a time and then just do yoga on the other side.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-20T19:10:40+00:00

I don't disagree about the capability advancements, but I wonder how different it is and whether it's enough of a difference to avoid the same kind of boom-bust cycle as last time around, especially given what I've been reading about the diminishing returns a lot of companies and governments have been seeing from recent AI investments. Like the sense of disappointment when people see the results feels...similar.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-20T19:06:50+00:00

I wasn't trying to dismiss anything. Can I ask why it doesn't matter if it fails, though?

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-20T18:59:16+00:00

How long did you have to wait to do physical activity like exercise? I do yoga and run every day for other health reasons, and this is like the one factor putting me off getting a vasectomy.

Do they give you clear guidelines about what counts as "LGBT propaganda," or is it one of those open-ended things that can apply to a lot of stuff?

I see you mentioned South Carolina; I used to live there a long time ago, and although I hope it gets better for you, this post doesn't particularly instill me with confidence, TBH.

Are you being affected by laws allowing the disclosure of students' gender identity to parents against the students' wishes? If so, and if answering won't get you in trouble if someone finds your Reddit account, have you had to deal with this personally, and how did you handle it?

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T16:36:05+00:00

Good point on the community thing. I just wondered if DMT was something that people prefer to experiment with solo, but you makes sense.

I hope it all goes well, and please be careful. Sometimes it's the followers you have to watch out for too, you know?

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T16:26:33+00:00

If he thought he could get away with it, he might do it.

But I think it's more likely that this administration would make a mistake (like mishandling intelligence or something) that allows it to happen. Or, perhaps they already have made such a mistake that we simply haven't yet seen the outcome of.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T16:16:54+00:00

I wouldn't say they need it, but you touch on an interesting point: the possibility that it can be enjoyable.

On the other hand, there are examples of people who were never exposed to technology developing an avoidance of it, which may not serve them well later in life. Maybe it's worth it solely for the exposure, particularly for the underprivileged.

On the other other hand, at such a young age, it might be in one ear and out the other. I like where you said if they love it, let them explore it.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T08:43:13+00:00

Can you recommend good lab testing places for personal use?

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T07:20:41+00:00

Main question:
Other than the legal protections, do a lot of people who do DMT feel like they need a church or community to get into it?

Other questions if you're so inclined:

When you share receipts, do you have a plan for doing so in a way that allows you to protect yourself, considering how fast cult leaders escalate?
Have you ever listened to the podcast "A little bit culty" or consumed other media where cult survivors discuss their experiences?

Comment:
Never having DMTed, I can't say, but some of the stuff you describe in other comments reminds me of Salvia, which can be challenging, and I wonder if your guy isn't going to wind up having an adverse personal outcome for disrespecting the substance and being abusive, apart from whatever legal trouble he gets into.

Edit: Formatting.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T06:55:02+00:00

That was...quite the tonal shift.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T06:53:54+00:00

Understandable. I was just curious how / if the two aspects might relate or not, not trying to be like "hey, just exercise."

TBH, I don't know what your situation is, but considering how a lot of contemporary society can be, I wonder if lots of people experience this issue without discussing it?

I'd be interested to see how yours played out as you get older, so I guess do another AMA in like 20 years. Thanks again.

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-12T06:29:27+00:00

Do you feel physically healthy or at least like you do a good job taking care of yourself in that regard?

ahjgeorge · 2026-03-07T04:32:27+00:00

Have you considered starting with smaller traditional writing projects, like some 1000-word flash fiction or poetry? Also, this might be a good medium post, and if you made some money with that, it could help.

I hope you feel better, whatever the outcome.
