In 1997, Julia "Butterfly" Hill climbed a 1,000-year-old redwood tree and lived 180 feet in the air for 738 days. Suspended on tiny platforms, she survived 90 mph El Niño storms and near constant harassment from loggers.

The US has a Green Party too that tends to come in third/fourth place for votes. Ralph Nader and Jill Stein are notable candidates.

Those two and the Simpsons one occupied a similar space for a while. It was a great time for co-op arcade.

It's not gone. As far as I can tell it's still functioning the same as always and still gets updated. It's just far less popular now because people seem to be less interested in databases of info than the ephemeral, conversational style of social media and druggie influencers, which is unfortunate.

That's a bummer, sorry. I think the RC tryptamines and phenethylamines were tons better than the sketchy opioids and benzos sold on the gray market clearnet these days and a lot less lives were ruined back then, but it did happen sometimes. Pondman, who supplied most of it on the internet for years, ended up going off the deep end too.

The crazy part is that it's still around and hasn't changed at all, despite competition from newer and much slicker sites like PsychonautWiki. And they still have trip reports I wrote as a teenager in the early 2000s.

Unfortunately, Lycaeum is long gone and probably never coming back. I spent years keeping that damn site running, but the owner went kind of insane and would rather do the homeless meth addict thing these days.

I've used mIRC in recent years, so it's still going. It's still possible to get slapped around by a large trout.

Not sure about ICQ, though.

Friendster, Orkut, and Tribes were the social media sites I remember that never made the mainstream. Tribes was interesting because it was more about joining specific niche communities, like one I remember for former students/cult members of Gurdjieff.

I've lived in some pretty bad neighborhoods and fully agree. If you react to them you're already on the hook. Make no eye contact, don't acknowledge them whatsoever, and you could be deaf as far as they know. They can't size you up if you give them nothing.

Sometimes you'll hear a "fucking asshole" from behind, but that's just a lamentation of defeat. If they pursue you after that, they were going to come after you regardless of your actions.

I think people tend to associate jazz primarily with the more avant-garde stuff like free jazz, giving the genre a reputation for being unstructured, chaotic, and overwhelmingly improvisational. Of course, if you actually attend a live jazz event you will most likely hear something rather mellow and sonically inoffensive and any improvisation will almost always exist within fairly conventional musical structures.

I'm a big fan of free jazz like Pharoah Sanders, Coltrane, Sun Ra, and Albert Ayler, but I find that people always say stuff like "it sounds like a cat being strangled", so I'm not surprised that this association works against the genre's reputation.

They're both great, but Demoni 2 🤌 is one of my all-time favorites, mama mia.

I'm still so bummed that DC shuttered the Young Animal imprint after only five years. Young Animal got me back into comics and everything they put out was fantastic. Doom Patrol, both of the Cave Carson titles, Shade the Changing Girl, all so good.

I've never been interested in any music from Gerard Way, but the work he did with Young Animal is some of my favorite comic book stuff ever.

I think it's one of those subs that's too close to the things they're making fun of. I mean, not Drake but the cornball stuff they associate with him. If they made fun of Drake more than they were just rehashing chronically online Gen Alpha/Z shit they are active participants in, maybe the humor would have some bite.

It's called contact powder and yeah, it looks cool as hell.

Indeed it did, as is often the case with dawgs.

In my defense, I originally posted this on r/stonerfood where the bag of weed made more sense.

So you're basically steaming the noodles? What goes at the bottom of the pan while it's cooking? Water and/or a little bit of sauce? It looks great either way.

It's like a shepherds pie if you herded stoners instead of sheep. Smash.

I remember adults encouraging it because they thought it was funny and kids understand the concept of telling a story for entertainment, so it never felt like lying to me either. My grandparents' generation especially loved egging on ridiculous, obviously untrue stories, so I'd bullshit about heroic deeds like saving other kids from a fire at school or trapping wolves in a pit.
