A little before that, i think? Maybe since The Crusades?

Hi, im an insufferable cannabis and science nerd, chiming in:

Your reaction to edibles is based on the amount of cytochrome p450 enzyme that you have in your liver. When you combust cannabis, the thc is converted to delta9thc which is what gets you high. It’s why you cook weed before you eat it. When you eat weed and process it through your liver, it then converts to hydroxy11thc, by means of enzymes, and you digest it, which is why it takes longer to feel high from edibles and why it feels different from smoking.

Everyone has different levels of enzyme. Some people will not get high from edibles. Some people will get high from 5mg. I eat about 300mg before I can feel anything other than sleepy. I drank a 1000mg “canna-lean” syrup once, that’s the highest I’ve ever been, it was fun, but I didn’t lose my faculties.

I’m not saying tolerance doesn’t play a part, but there are other factors. Also if you’re primarily vaping, THATS what you should take a break from. Our cannabinoid receptors did not evolve alongside such highly concentrated thc products, they aren’t used to getting slammed with 85%+ thc, it’s used to like 10-12% found naturally in landrace strains. You’re system is burned out. The biggest scam in the legal industry is the way they market “30% thc!” as a good thing. The big number sells more weed, so that’s all the businesses care about, but cannabinoids and terpenes and INDIVIDUAL BODY CHEMISTRY have way more to do with how you’re gonna feel that high. I prefer a 13-17% thc content that is balanced with thcv, cbg, etc, but the market doesn’t care about providing you a good product, they just want your money.

Anyway, that was a whole lot of unsolicited information, here’s a source about the enzyme ⬇️ have a great day, stay lifted ♡

That’s how I feel about astrology. A horoscope is just a prompt for self reflection. But it’s fun when something feels woo woo or predictive or relatable because… its fun, idk. Its spooOoOoOoKy, it’s fun, it’s cute. Star charts are a skill you have to learn, it’s a hobby, it makes your brain work.

The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.

Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.

Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.

It was very fun to read, but I never would have looked it up. Thank you!

This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of “girl dinner”, this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like… six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they’re saying and I’m irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.

That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo

You might need a new therapist, which is okay. I haven’t been to therapy in over a decade, but when I used to go, I used to do things like this, and my therapist would interrupt and say “it sounds like you’re deflecting, do you think there’s a reason for that?” and try to get me to go in a different direction.

Just some unsolicited advice, have a good day xo

That’s what I was thinking, these sentences could just be combined. “I played with my friend’s toy in their colon.”

This thread so far has been about extra judicial killing, but can vigilantism encompass less drastic actions? Do you think it is fair to say that the reaction on Reddit/Lemmy every time “the rapist Brock Allen Turner” is mentioned falls under the third type of vigilantism, in the sense that he recieved a light consequence compared to the acts he was proved to have committed? Is the social backlash and the (imo deserved) chorus of “oh the rapist?” in response to his name a form of societal vigilantism?

I appreciate your thoughtful and nuanced post in this volatile thread. Your last sentence immediately made me think of that guy that raped a girl behind a dumpster and then got let off because a judge thought consequences might damage his future. I don’t think anyone should kill him, but I’m happy he doesn’t get any peace on the internet, and i wish he was in jail.

Oh i hate that, do you want me to come over and beat him up? Wanna come have a sleep over? We can bake cookies and watch tv and you can meet my cats.

xoxo I’m not kidding ♡

I don’t think he’s funny and I actually think he’s kind of a weenie and I don’t like him very much as a person, but I actively watched his return episode and now I let his show run in the background to boost viewership.

Don’t really know how else to participate in the revolution, I’m pretty useless, but if I can contribute to trump having a tempertantrum, that’s wonderful !

I do not have the means to donate to things that I care about. Most weeks, the difference between overdrafting my bank account or not is literally a few cents. I donate the $3.10 every time the pop up shows up on Wikipedia. I’m sure there are other organizations that need the money more, but I think Wikipedia is SO important, and so far has remained earnest in their behavior. Proud of you for donating what you could, glad I could help a little bit too.

Be well, friend

The first time someone explained this to me and showed me how to invert controls, it changed my life and made video games more enjoyable (I’m mostly a PC gamer out of convenience but prefer a console/controller). I recently played the ff7 remake and forgot that I could invert controls and was about to quit playing until I remembered I could invert. “Standard” controls don’t make sense to me and kinda make me dizzy or seasick.

This is why I love the sims, I get obsessed for x amount of time. I go to work if I have to, but then I’ll play sims every other second I can, I’ll even bring the laptop into the bathroom with me. Won’t sleep, won’t cook, won’t shower, etc. And then… all of a sudden, mid game even, I’m just… done. For months. Or years. And it’s a sandbox game, it’s literally digital barbies, so I can just stop and start over with a whole new game later. If im playing a more traditional game, I NEED to 100% it. I NEED a walk through to make sure I don’t make any wrong choices, it almost takes some of the fun out of it, so I don’t play those kinds that often (my roommate recently let me play Spiritfarer on her console, she had 40hrs and 98% and was like "its not important to the story and i cant find the last one… I got to 100% after 84 hours. We are not the same)

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say “the cube, the brick, the chargey part…with a usb please”

I don’t think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

2 flower dads in front (adopted dad + step dad)

Bio dad and bride (if she has a good relationship with him and wants that)

2 flower dads in back (other adopted dad + step dad)

Or make them all sit and let bio mom do it, if bride’s relationship with bio mom is good.

But I like the planenquine suggestion from the meme best, she should do that. When else will she have a chance to do that?

It’s called urtification (after the latin for nettles, Urtica dioica) , and humans have been doing it forever for exactly the reasons she mentioned.

Oh I think you’re spot on, thanks <3

Is there a word for bad nostalgia? Is it just regret? That doesn’t sound quite right. I thought i’d outgrown these feelings and put them away, but seeing this meme brings them back full force. The panic, the instant guilt, the sorrow that all comes with looking over the edge of the bed and seeing my lil cabbage patch kid all crumpled up on the floor. Even now I can feel the surge of adrenaline from leaning just a little too far out of bed, almost falling out myself. Just being able to reach one little ruffle on dolly’s jammies, just enough to snatch her off the ground, scoop her into bed, and sob and apologize, but deep down I know sorry will never be enough to make up for tossing her on the ground in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the morning cry. Probably gonna have to go to my mom’s house after work and see if I can find my old stuff.

Hope you get to feel some sunshine today xoxo
