2016-06-20 at 8:38 AM UTC in What drugs should always be on hand/ kept in reserve?A lighter/non-euphoric stim (caffeine pills, ephedrine, yohimbine)
A stronger amphetamine-like stim
A decent benzo
Vast oceans of alcohol
I love psychedelics but I don't feel any need to always have them available.
My weed tolerance is so low, I buy like two grams and it ends up getting old before I'm very far into the second gram.
Maybe a dissociative, the only time I've enjoyed dissociatives is when something is really getting under my skin and I take them in a "fuck everything" kind of mindset, it's a nice release. -

Not that I mind Bowie. Maybe more rock artists should go gay -

2016-06-18 at 7:25 PM UTC in Cringe TheoryWikipedia says social awkwardness or embarrassment is the cause of cringe.
I prefer the more nuanced view that cringe is the mereological fusion of fedoras, reading ayn rand, and misreading nietzsche. -
2016-06-18 at 4:49 PM UTC in My grandma just died
she died at 94 years old and I'm getting 4k, but they are going to take taxes out of it my mom said. What do I do?
No way to dodge estate tax after the person in question has actually died, not that estate tax on 4k would really justify such a scheme. The middle class can just gift assets to their intended recipients of estate before death without tax consequences. After like a million dollars or a few million or something you need to form a trust or else you have to start paying gift tax.
Were you close with your grandma Bill Krozby? -
2016-06-18 at 5 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first edition
All I have is neuroscience, pharmacology, my systemization of humanity, which is a large part of what made me so miserable.
Why do you "have" neuroscience and pharmacology though? You like to act like they're means to an end, that phase where you were trying to build the perfect nootropic stack, but I'm not sure I buy that story (I'm sure you realize our ability to make up a convenient explanation of our actions, I see this in myself pretty regularly and I'm sure it goes deeper than just the cases where it's noticeable). There's something there, in the gritty technical details, that draws you towards it isn't there? I don't think a person could spend as much time and effort you have, as I have, on learning a thing if there wasn't something intrinsically motivating in it.
Sometimes I feel a wierd spiritual union with athletes, I loathe physicality, it's brute and disgusting, and their aesthetics are exactly contrary to my own. Yet I think they, the good ones at least, understand on some non-intellectual level the "thrill of the chase", the "flow state", the blissful and incomparable and quietly intense divorce from reality that comes from committing one's whole being to a thing. Sports are stupid, computer science is stupid, everything is stupid and there will never be external reason to believe otherwise and yet the struggle is psychologically rewarding and maybe that's all there is.
To me eval/apply is fascinating in a different way than my phone or a good book is, it's not contingent on external realities. Like take a book and start stripping away experiences from my psyche and eventually it stops making sense, books are only good in so far as they connect to our experiential backgrounds in some way. But formal systems don't rely on that, they take seemingly fundamental ("transcendental" in the kantian sense) elements of our existence (causality, implication, truth and falsity) and from the most primitive elements of the mind build up to something greater, seemingly independent of the subjectivity that may house them for a time.
Some things just seem to have the property of being intrinsically valuable or at least worthy of our attention, beyond rationality because what line of logic could ever justify or deny psychological states? I'm not sure if I can say it's right or wrong to engage fully in those pursuits, again there's a fundamental subjectivity in such things, but I can say the only times I've ever truly felt satisfied is when everything else in the world fell into the background of some technical problem, the intense struggle with some new concept. I remember working on a mesh construction problem, over the course of three days I think I ate a few slices of bread when I started to feel faint. Buddhists describe desire as the root of suffering, when you bend yourself to a task so fully that all other desires are eclipsed, acknowledged only when they come to interfere with the primary purpose of one's being, to me that's pure bliss. I think you know what that headstate is, and I don't know man, maybe I'm just grasping at straws, but I think if we acknowledge that sort of egoless state of focus as something worthwhile on its own rather than some means to some trivial end then that's worth something. There is no way out, but at least it's a way to come to terms with a fundamentally indifferent universe. -
2016-06-18 at 3:52 AM UTC in Most people are in denial about death, but I'm not.I'm not sure you really know what "semantics" means but is there some way in which I failed to address the non-surface elements of your post? Surprise at dying in a highly non-typical way seems justified, expecting the typical life really doesn't seem to be denial to me.

2016-06-16 at 8:16 AM UTC in Merry xmas you cuckhold goiym animalThe video made me vaguely nauseous, not so much because I give a shit about whether the dude should be able to shoot video of his kids or whatever but just the artificiality of the situation. I guess lying to your kids about santa to make them happy is cool but just that this is something worth recording, like your kids sitting on mall santa's lap is something worth recording or buying a photo of. Like yeah, I guess it's the kids' happiness you want to remember or something but the notion of the kids cringing at that shit, or some parent pulling it out and reminiscing over their greedily hoarded collection of mementos of the childrearing experience. Jesus, it's disgusting on some level I don't really understand. Maybe it's the commoditization of cherished memories in a crude if durable form, the idea that a memory lost without photo/videographic preservation is worth saving in the first place, the detachment of emotional significance from remembrance. It seems dark and terrifying.

2016-06-16 at 3:28 AM UTC in Whenever I complain about women on other forums (especially 4chan)...enter you've made this thread at least once before, it was stupid then and it's stupid now. No one thinks "lol virgin" is a well formed response to your "points", they just realize you're beyond being convinced and you've clearly failed to convince them. It's people telling you they're better than you and that you shouldn't waste your time.

2016-06-16 at 3:24 AM UTC in Most people are in denial about death, but I'm not.
Most people really are in denial about death. They'll think about it every once in a while of course, but they'll never come to terms with the fact that they themselves one day will die. Listen to the 9-1-1 calls on 9/11. "We're not supposed to be dying now. We're supposed to be dying as old men in our beds." No, you're supposed to be dying now, because death can happen at any moment… it's not some far away fantasy that'll happen to you when you're a senile old man.
I mean going by the numbers that's a more realistic thing to expect than the imminent demise you seem to be convinced is just around the corner for all of us. -

ITT: Admin blames his userbase for the growth failure of his own site and his lack of vision and drive.
Lol, calm yourself. I didn't blame anyone for anything, traffic volume is just low ergo advertising wouldn't produce money, it's just a fact -
2016-06-13 at 4:52 PM UTC in Anyone remember me?
fuck no… you're talking about slag
Lol, most definitely not thinking about slag.
I do remember you after the pig video though. -

2016-06-13 at 5:20 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionIt's tasteless but as far as I can tell it's not illegal. Law enforcement or a lawyer are free to tell me otherwise, legal precedent seems to be that it's acceptable.

Also,
Lanny, please tell me you're smarter than that…. lol
I'm guessing so, since the whole "starting at 8 figures" thing.
Yall niggas wouldn't get me to the payout threshold of any half reputable ad auctioning service in a year. The time it took me to read that email and take a screenshot is worth more than a monetization scheme is going to pull in. -

^the autisimo intensifies.
The fact that concussion causes cumulative damage to the brain has been common knowledge for like years bro. They even made a movie about it. Knowing things doesn't make you autistic. -

I joined as a horny 13 year old wanting to sneak into the girls changing rooms at school.
Huh, I always imagined you were younger than me for some reason.

2016-06-11 at 3:38 AM UTC in Currently eating marijuana edibles at a marijuana clubYou probably just had too much. Edibles are always stronger than people expect and it's the same relevant chemicals as smoking, if you have too much it tends to go bad. If you just have like a quarter as much as you would if it were just food then it's pretty much the same.
