Not comfortable enough to wear a sundress, but if there wasn’t a cultural element that could create a problem, I would wear the fuck out of those breezy robes you see Muslim guys wearing to mosque in the summer.
It’s fucking hot and I trust the fashion choices of people from desert climates. A good idea is a good idea.
The day I’m told by an Imam “Dude, no one would give a fuck”, I’m making a purchase.
- Comment on The internet seems to despise both the role of "Parents" and "Children"... 5 days ago:
It’s always tempting to consider ‘the internet’ as a uniform group, but it’s a bunch of little groups smashed together.
Actually, watching meta commentary about reddit following the APIocolypse and other push factors is what cemented this for me. Comparing discussions here v. , say, Kiwi Farms (visiting their forum was enlightening for this purpose but otherwise a mistake), both groups agreed that reddit sucked, but for diametrically opposed reasons.

Suggestion: LSD or LSD analogues in an amount just north of a micro dose. Have had folks report back feeling alert, chatty, and very open to having silly and/or indepth conversations with strangers. That and (compared to a night of drinking) waking up feeling like a million bucks, if a little tired depending on how late they stayed up as a result.
Your mileage may vary (perhaps significantly), but hey, it’s an honest suggestion. Comes with its own risks too, but doesn’t everything that isn’t just clean living and self-improvement?

Eh, I’d argue the current industrial practices in legal markets are geared to the consumer base that experienced a trend that started with the black market. Most places didn’t go from mexi-brick to legalized industrial weed. It went mexi-brick -> homegrown -> Emerald Triangle style shit of increasing potency -> legalization.
There’s still a market for the milder stuff (👋), but if your bread and butter are chronic smokers with high tolerance who used to smoke shit trafficked from California or BC or what have you, you’re gonna focus production on that market.
My kingdom for a good ol’ fashioned White Rhino at average early 2000s potency. Could just be nostalgia talking but that always seemed to be a right on the button experience for me (relaxed but no couchlock, silly thoughts, nice flavour profile, good times all around).

Welcome to my thoughts after my (adult) stepson gave me one of the infused joints their biodad got them for Christmas.
…well, the day after I smoked it anyway. What I actually thought during was “Well, since I’m obviously going to die tonight the beanbag chair isn’t such a bad place to do it.”
Had a conversation with my stepson afterwards where they said they were smoking very infrequently due to how it impacted their anxiety. I said “Well yeah, you’re not smoking weed, you’re smoking joints that can’t actually kill you but try their damnedest anyway. I’ve had mushroom trips that were easier on the ol’ noggin.”

Too protective? I made this up, but if usage started with peasantry or something it kind of makes sense.

Very true. Realistic context behind this comment: thinking about early puberty (where a stiff breeze could get things stirring), and times I’ve met amazing women where there was lots of chemistry and tension one evening, but nothing happens and probability of seeing each other again is low (hey, people are in all sorts of situations, nbd). The next morning is … well, annoying. Just when you think you’ve settled your system, you zone out for a moment and bam, you’re back in business.
This experience is more like ‘a lot of boners in a 24 hour period’ v ‘one sustained boner for more than 4 hours’. Idk if that makes a difference. But yeah, priapism is serious and if you have a boner that last more than 4 hours 100% go see a doctor.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
As someone who has been bricked up for pretty much a full day before, it sounds a lot better than actually is. At a certain point you’ve got stuff to do and (practically) no one wants to see your boner at the supermarket.
Unless you have a lazy day and a partner around who is just as ready as you are, of course. In that case it is pretty great.

In an effort to fight modern techbros, all modern human writers start churning out Oulipianesque texts, and reading books is cast once again as a passtime for weird (perhaps dangerous) nerds.
…actually, there’s some half-decent stories you can tell and ideas you can bat around with this frame informing both format and content. The title Samizdat jumps to mind when thinking about some of them (I know there’s a contigent on Lemmy who might not be thrilled about the connotations, but it’s a good word). Hmm.

You, specifically, having readers? Homie I know I’m not alone in following the bits of biography you’ve already posted with great interest. I’d read the fuck out of your memoir.

I almost feel like someone needs to do a write-up of the 196@blahaj.zone debacle - while not a 1-for-1 example (it wasn’t a migration attempt that functioned the exact same way as it would with PieFed), it’s a good case study for userbase-community owner-instance dynamics that should be considered, specifically the bit in your last sentence.
- Comment on Huh? 2 months ago:
If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).
Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).
Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.

If it’s any consolation many of us are old fogeys (from an internet perspective), and likely understood it immediately. I know I did!
- Comment on we need more users 2 months ago:
I think part (though not all) of the issue is discoverability. There’s other communities where this isn’t as prevalent, but a) they’re not always easy to find, and b) for this as well as other reasons, they might not be super active (if people don’t know it exists, who’s posting?)
I get around the first bit by trawling All New once and a while. One feature I will say I liked on reddit was the random community function. But while I like that it’s a smaller userbase here for some reasons, it does mean less diversity of interests.

Eh, I feel it’s still appropriate. Guy didn’t like smoking in general, so celebrate by releasing a big ol’ cloud of silly smoke.

Decent recommendations here, but I will always suggest the ska version of I Wanna Riot for playlist purposes.
I’ve always wanted to see a high school band cover this, and every year I just want that more.

There’s a sticker at a venue here with Batman pimp slapping Robin as he says this that I think about a lot.

Yes, but in a show with major themes about women’s empowerment it’s a weird device to lean on that much.

There are so many times where the Scouts would straight-up die or and Negaverse cronies would win the day if he didn’t show up, throw a flower and talk. Enough times to the point where I wondered “Hey, wtf is the message here exactly?”

I have some very hot takes about the efficacy of the Sailor Scouts given exactly how much Tuxedo Mask does. This is why my ex-wife and kid, who only wanted to enjoy a magical girl show, stopped watching Sailor Moon around me anymore.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 2 months ago:
What I think’s funny is it’s still on its first battery. S20 FE, went through a skateboarding ‘phase’ and rarely used a case, so the poor thing has been beaten up pretty badly.
Did pick up a used S22 Ultra a couple months ago, but this was a mistake. It has have significant issues staying connected to my mobile network and apparently this is a common problem. Gave up the ghost and just put my SIM back in the S20, the Ultra’s just my Pocket Paint mini tablet at this point.
