Got_Bent , to news in How psilocybin, the psychedelic in mushrooms, may rewire the brain to ease depression, anxiety and more

It’s been sixteen years since I’ve done shrooms.

In present day, I don’t feel like I’ve got a safe environment to do them.

I’ve only ever had great experiences with them, but I would not attest that any of them in any way had an effect on how my brain functions at it relates to things like anxiety and depression. It’s always just been…fun.

I mean, who doesn’t love it when you’re naked in a hotel room with your wife and suddenly you’re underwater and she’s turned into a delicious, sensuous sea anemone? But therapeutic? Yeah, never felt anything like that.

I’ve heard of the microdosing thing the kids are doing these days, but it’s too foreign of a concept for me to experiment with.

I compare my daily commute to the chariot races in Ben Hur. It absolutely wasn’t this way pre COVID.

If caffeine is considered a serious drug in my lifetime, I hope I’ve got a good cellmate because I’m going away forever.

Got_Bent , to news in Netflix Poised to Raise Prices in 2024 as It Continues to Gain Share of TV Viewing: Analysts

Isn’t Jellyfin something that I have to run through a computer, phone, or tablet? My living room TV is just a Walmart special with a Roku box. I’m too lazy to get more technical than that.

Edit: I stand corrected. I see it on Roku. I’ll see what it does. Thanks

I read your post and can’t help but notice that you haven’t tried a steady diet of calamari.

But seriously, I’ve never read or heard about anything like that, and it sounds like utter hell. I hope you’re able to find relief soon.

Got_Bent , to asklemmy in What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?

I use a little splash of vinegar. Keeps it nice and clean without the whole chlorine gas part.

(I don’t know if bleach produces chlorine gas. Talking out my ass on that part)

Today I learned that Plex exists, so thank you!

General rule - I’ll give you money or I’ll watch ads. I won’t do both. And as I’ve implied, I find myself actively watching shows less and less. So the giving money part becomes less attractive. I’m also entirely underwhelmed with Netflix offerings in present day. It’s like they gave up after the success of Making a Murderer and decided that everything would just be cheap to produce true crime dramas. The actual shows categorically get cancelled when it comes time to pay the actors for their success so we never get closure. Looking at you, Santa Clarita Diet.

And here I am this morning sipping on coffee watching Tubi. I’ve been done paying more for less for a while now.

Don’t need to pirate. If this gradual enshittification has done anything to me, it’s been to make me lose any and all interest in keeping up with the latest shows. It’s turned my TV into mere background noise while I do other things.

Maybe Tubi and Pluto and Freevee will eventually go away. Maybe then I’ll just stop staring at a screen altogether.

I read a six hundred page physical paper book last weekend, cover to cover. I’d completely forgotten how pleasurable that is, and I can buy paperbacks by the pallet for next to nothing these days or attempt to borrow from the library before they become completely illegal.

I also remembered that it’s entirely ok to read a book that isn’t some centuries old work of ethereal literature. Run of the mill pulp fiction can be mighty entertaining even if you don’t get to brag that you read the unabridged version of Beowulf in the original language at your next craft cocktail party

tl;dr fuck these streaming companies

Got_Bent , to nottheonion in Fox News guest decrying “migrant crime” previously arrested after getting violent over a grilled cheese sandwich he deemed too cheesy

A grilled cheese sandwich too cheesy?

That’s like saying it’s too orgasmic when my wife blows me or my paychecks are too big when my job pays me.

Got_Bent , to nottheonion in Texas Tech DB Tyler Owens says he doesn't believe in space

I mean, they do get a cultish gold ring that they fish out of a pitcher of beer with which they get to play wonder twins for the rest of their lives, so there’s that.

Got_Bent , to workreform in Unionized Google workers learned their jobs were over while testifying to Austin City Council about why they need higher pay

It only makes sense.

When you’re poor and not powerful, you get shit on daily and you grow a certain impervious callous to the constant assaults.

When you’re rich and powerful, nobody ever tells you no, so the slightest of criticism is entirely strange and foreign and therefore unacceptable.

Got_Bent , to news in Judge blocks Texas from collecting info on transgender children receiving gender-affirming care

Paxton has been on a shameless, vindictive speed run of vengeful terror since he survived impeachment.

I’m afraid this is but a microcosmic sampling of what’s to come if Trump gets back in the white house.

Got_Bent , to workreform in Unionized Google workers learned their jobs were over while testifying to Austin City Council about why they need higher pay

We really have become a society that thrives on the suffering of others almost to the point of sexual pleasure. It’s truly repugnant.

The comments on that video. Yikes.
