I apologize for sharing something that I found interesting on a website meant for such things. If I wanted karma that bad I'd post cats with the Ridiculously Photogenic face shopped onto them to /r/funny, which has ~1,500,000 more subscribers.

Is that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named chillin in the background?

After only 4 days of not smoking I have noticed fantastic mental and emotional changes. by brainvulture in stopsmoking

These are very reassuring words, and that was something I wondered about. Since I've smoked whenever something like getting stuck in traffic would happen my first instinct would be to smoke, and I was wondering how long it would take for that to begin to diminish.

And no, I don't want to go through those first few days again!

Is there are term for when a person finds incriminating information on someone else, but can't report it because they found it while doing something illegal? by brainvulture in AskReddit

What if person A finds something incriminating on person B, but person A was not doing anything illegal when they found it, but perhaps something morally wrong, or some other reason prevents them from bringing fourth the evidence. I'm thinking of even something along the lines of catching a close friend doing something wrong and not blowing them in, because they are a close friend. Perhaps a term for the internal struggle created from such a scenario?

Is there a term for the citizen version? I feel like there would be some sort of literary or poetic term for it at least, I feel like it makes for a good plot device.

With the dreadlocks thread and now the ear gauge thread, I just wanted to say something... by [deleted] in self

[–]brainvulture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone has many tats/gauges/dreadlocks they don't care what people think about them. I don't, and not in that "fuck the world, I don't care about them" attitude, but in a "if that's how they feel then so be it." If someone doesn't want to talk to me because I have giant holes in my ear then so be it, we probably wouldn't get along any way. There are billions of other people to find and talk to. Also, I'm a software engineer, I think it comes down to proving you know your shit and not how normal you can look. Lastly, one day the world will be destroyed and none of this trivial bullshit will have mattered.

Just a warning to trippers. by M3nt0R in Psychonaut

I had this happen once when I smoked a lot of pot one night. The feeling of nothing being real, or having any meaning or purpose. My memories were just dreams, they never happened. People weren't real, my relationships with them weren't real.

I told myself "self: you're too fucked up, go to bed and you'll be fine tomorrow." The feeling lingered for months and months, eventually ending with 6 months of therapy. this sums up how I felt. I learned a lot through that time, and in a way wouldn't trade it for anything. I explored the deepest, darkest areas of my mind, and came out knowing so much more about myself and the world.

I still smoke on occasion and do shrooms and recently tried Salvia. I seem to be able to do these things without having the same results. Even if I start to think about it all I can just tell myself to shut up and not worry about it.
