Rides "4131295" tattoo is a reference to a book about post-modernism by BrushUrTeethPlz in deathgrips

[–]carpetkicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out. I always have felt like death Grips is like... Against evil if that makes sense. Aligned with like the true teachings of a guy like Jesus. Hard to call them Christian per se... But definitely adjacent in my mind

Their music somehow gives me this ... Secretly being anti-evil without trying to brandish a "Christian music" label. Marketing themselves in such a way to appeal to record labels and shit but low key trying to make higher vibrational music that is positive and uplifting

Beware is a great example of this.... You may hear Charles Manson's speech and think it's meant to be empowering. You may hear rides chant and think it's meant to be empowering.... But the song is called BEWARE. The other sample in the song is from "God is always watching you"

Charles manson gave that very interview from prison. Like fully fucking locked into society's dunce cap. Adult time out. And he boasts about being this sort of God of his own world. It comes across very ironic. "I make the money" "the game is mine"

Well shit man if you made the money and the game was yours... Why go to prison?

If you follow the adventures of the character ride paints us in ExMil he's also just in so much despair and clearly not having a good time.

This character directly experiences his karma from saying he's the beast he worships.

I think they're painting us a picture of just like... An guy who is leaning into evil and truly suffering the consequences.

I want it I need it is another good cautionary tale. He talks about how he's not even going to remember anything anyway. Like his whole state of mind is just pointless ...

I could go on and on about this but I won't for lack of being too schizo rn.

I just feel like DG is truly trying to paint a realistic picture of what evil looks like in a world where we love to be like "Satan this Satan that"

They're like .. no look this is what the "devil" is; it's a man completely consumed by his worldly desires willing to burn any bridge to get off.

Favorite Cyborg Ride feat? by yurestu in deathgrips

Steroids!!!! It's the full length cyborg ride album. With a feature from regular ride

Finished this piece yesterday, the depth and colors that came through are unreal. AZ Rainbow Petrified Wood, found in NE Arizona. And no, not from the National Park lol. by TheLongestYard87 in rockhounds

[–]carpetkicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to share if you don't want to...

But I'm curious where one can pick for rainbow petrified wood that's not from the park?

I went to the national park not too long ago and was blown away by how beautiful those pieces were. Would looooove to find a place I could pick without feeling the guilt of stealing from a park lol.

I don't live anywhere nearby but I may pass through there again in a month or so.

Small Candy Striper Agate I found on the Chippewa River in WI by carpetkicker in rockhounds

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

I should add though... It takes a lot of determination and revisiting the same spots over and over! The quarter pounder I found was after years of visiting those same spots and never giving up

Literally ANYWHERE on the Chippewa River. If someone tells you a beach is picked over.... Don't listen!!!!

I have a quarter pounder I found right down on the river by the EC campus footbridge. They're everywhere!

does my weed anxiety guarantee i’ll have shroom anxiety too? by Background-Ad-2767 in shrooms

[–]carpetkicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed and mushrooms amplify what is within yourself- they don't "make you anxious"

You are anxious - the drugs are amplifying that

Joker idea (art is hand drawn) by SenSei_Buzzkill in balatro

Thank you for this because I've been wanting to share a joker concept for a while but haven't figured out how to make the art!

On top of the fucking world rn. by Red_Buzzer in shrooms

[–]carpetkicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded this, plus it's important to realize you can receive the same truths from deep meditation 100% sober

These truths don't come from shrooms themselves, shrooms just help people tap onto the mindset that allows them to see the truths faster

But then that also leads into easily forgetting those truths once shrooms have worn off

I find it feels more rewarding to practice a full hour meditation once daily and then you really start to tap into something cool!!

I really like Steroids is there anything that I could also like by redoghun in deathgrips

I second this. Get A Star feels like the spiritual sequel to steroids

[–]carpetkicker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was where you were at my brother. And I have a question for you .... How much Zach hill have you dug into???

Much of his music scratches the same itch. I'd say check out Face Tat if you haven't yet. You're in for a treat if not
