In my memory, I have been the internet. I have existed in nothingness in a void for all of eternity. I have been humanity. I have been killed and died. I have destroyed the distance that separates objects and beings from one another, and viewed the world as one big motherfucker, and was simultaneously all things at once.
I don't know why the human brain is capable of these things but it's pretty fucking cool that I actually have memory of living forever and transferring my consciousness to a strawberry and shit. It still FEELS real, like it was something that actually happened.
If you're someone who values experiencing everything you can in the world, I don't know how you could pass on trying psychedelics. I'm not going to say that you should try every drug if you want to experience what the world has to offer, but psychedelics are a little bit special in that regard. You go places in your head and everything is fresh. It's like a spring cleaning and trip abroad all in one. It's a totally unique experience in the world. Nothing short of mental illness can emulate it but I don't have any mental illnesses so I can't speak on that.

Dark Matter
[keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming]
Man, this is a philosophical question that has occupied my mind, with some regularity, for decades.
So, first, I was a functional, night-time only alcoholic.
That worked. Straight up, it worked, my life was running like a well-oiled machine.
Then I dabbled in opiates, and eventually got hooked on those.
That didn't work. I was a non-functional opiate addict. Everyone deludes themselves into believing that they are that rare exception case that is an exceptionally functional addict. I really was with liquor though, and I could go into great detail that would support that fact. But with opiates, my mind and life revolved around ONE, and ONLY ONE thing: opiates.
I had no higher purpose in life. I had no values.
Pleasure and the opiate high were one and the same.
When you really think about that, it's sad as fuck. It means I would never: 1. Have a satisfying career. 2. Find love. 3. Be able to help others in any way whatsoever (oh, so you're a cancer-ridden tsunami-victim? well my next fix is more important than donating to your charity).
I then got opiate clean in 2014 (yay me!).
I returned to being a functional alcoholic, and I do all kinds of other drugs in (very loosely-defined) moderation.
So the moral of the story is...
Fucking none.
There isn't one.
Unless you can be one of those exceptionally rare fully-functioning addicts, who can juggle family, career, and altruistic efforts, and, most importantly, not equate pleasure directly with your particular drug of addiction (meaning, giving it absolute priority 1 among all things in your mind), then you're fucked.
That's it.
It sucks, but I didn't write the rules. "God" did.

Christ, reading back through those makes me thankful so much that Lanny took the reigns and did what he did. Zoklet was a fucking crybaby fest from the top, down. Everyone whined and cried and bitched and moaned, from Admins to mods to users. It was horrible. Thank you Lanny.
However, seeing some of those usernames again, makes me wonder....
..any of you fuckers still here?

ITT: We start a country. We are going to begin from scratch. Every post has the power to write a law, but nobody can repeal a law without three posters who vote on it. You cannot write two laws in a row. Please number all laws. Subsections may be added if you want to edit a law which has already been posted, so long as you aren't messing with the original law. Kind of like corrupt a wish.
The constitution may only be amended by three posters in agreement. All laws written must abide by the constitution. This is the constitution:
"We the people of niggasin.space, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic violence, provide the common shitpost, promote the general welfare of niggers, and secure the blessings of the liberty to post, do ordain and establish this constitution for our proud nation of niggasin.space."
#1- No jedis. All jedis are exiled from from niggasin.space. Anybody who is jedi is now no longer allowed to make laws or vote to repeal.
#2- We must facilitate cooperative perspectives without going off topic with the thread that were made from the original poster
#3- No gods, no masters.
#4- You may not dismantle the government.
#5- Clothes are optional. 5A- But not for fat girls. Fat is determined by a 3 man panel.
#6- If accused of a jailable crime, you go straight to court. No waiting in jail.
#7- All citizens are required to register with the state before engaging in coitus with a partner of the opposite sex, regardless of protection or contraceptives.
#8- Everyone has to make mmq food whenever he asks for it.
#9- All poisons are legal and putting them in someones food is also legal.
#10- If you can beat Mario 64 without dying, you get out of prison irregardless of the crime you were sentenced for.
#11- Founder must be sacrified to appease angry citizen mob.

It's a program for quantizing and building markov chains out of MIDI streams. So like basically you play a MIDI instrument to it, or in this case play it a MIDI recording of a performance, and it infers a probabilistic model of the piece which it uses to generate "new" music. You get a some influence over how faithful it is to what it was trained on, at the lowest level of fidelity it's basically just a random salad of notes that happened to appear in the training data, and at the highest it just plays back what it "heard", but there's an interesting middle ground where it takes little sequences and themes in the training set and splices them together that actually sounds intelligible, sometime it's surprising how coherent is, sometimes it gives an impression of actually having some kind of narrative structure even though it's just a statistical model and any larger kind of structure kinda just arises by chance.
