overheard some ex-military types (one a co-worker, others customers) at my job talking about getting jobs as contractors and being flabbergasted how quickly and urgently they need them to deploy

i mean it's just a couple of people but the first place my brain goes to is "oh fuck the U.S. knows whats about to go down and is getting ready to join in"

i probably could too (i want a bike)

i keep mine in "haul shit" mode all the time with the backseats down and rubber mats on the improvised truck bed. i have way more space then this so called "truck"

this shit is going to mainstream. it will be bipartisan. laws will be passed.

Covid will then re-surge because of course it will, more long Covid to be ignored

then H1N1 is going to hit with full force because fuck us

i dived into that subreddit and still can't tell if it's all irony or not. it's all so ridiculous and weird the conclusions they draw

and i often peg as a "leftcom" myself on those lefty ideology tests.

i mean if christans built like a dual-power shadow communist system i might consider reevaluating my beliefs

there are labs in mexico that basically replaced the facilities that used to refine locally grown opium into black tar. fentanyl precursors are extremely easy to acquire by an organization. they were originally coming from gray market chinese labs (the CPC cracked down hard) now likely from india which has a well developed pharm chemical industry

i wouldn't be suprised if some synthesis was happening in the U.S. also there was a period where tons of analogs were being manufactured and sold on the darkweb mostly to research chemical enthusiasts. so there could still be stockpiles of these analogs being fed into the "heroin" supply. i have no doubt these original RCs were being added to low quality heroin which basically started this whole nightmare.

so in a sense it did originally come from inside the house. then capitalism came and did it's thing

based gilligan from gilligans island

i think i might have mixed up two different medical abstracts i read so i might be wrong. i mixed up this study with this study.

so i might be wrong unless i missed something

ok. think it would be safe to steer towards sites that may have lists? no direct linking.

and personally i love D8+CBN for sleep. but CBN is fucking amazing. it's like nonaddictive benzo with minimal side effects, absolutely a game changer.
as a natural substance i think it's as revolutionary as kratom has been. alone, or added to any other psychoactive THC-like and the best thing is it seems to actually stimulate REM sleep instead of supress it.

and since it's just degraded THC so it's been used safely for human history!

literally cyberpunk 2077

it would be crazy if this piece of shit destroys humanity single handedly

so i was a bit shameful about using Suno while writing my own lyrics to make AI music.

but i've realized something missing from most AI "art". you just bang out some prompts to "engineer" a result. it's creatively void. but seeing my written words, my poetry, made into music is different. i'm getting intense emotional feelings from hearing hyper personalized songs, writing about my/my partners current feelings and frustrations and ideology. it's driving me to write more.

it's just "art" for us really. so maybe post-capitalism this will be a legit function of this crap

yeah it's so wild if you just pop in on all the big cannabis subreddits the vast majority still think THC-A is some sprayed analog, and the various cbd distillation derived cannabinoids are all purely synthetic and novel research chems

but i'll work on it next time i can take a later night ADHD med dose

fucking scathing assesment

every time i stick my head in there, it's like watching clueless children post

no wonder they feared chapotraphouse so much they had to kill it. i legit felt safe there it was like being guarded by a pack of wolves and pigpoopballs

the mod save our ship 2 recently updated for rimworld. it's basically an entire game on top of rimworld. it has a really satisfying game loop that's basically "fight enemy ships of slowly increasing difficulty, pacify and disassemble or weld them to your ship, upgrade and research, repeat". eventually you will either have a cobbled together mesh of useful chunks of spacecraft or your own sleek battlecruiser.

and you can just start in space and avoid the whole "start a colony on the surface and eventually build a ship". i mod the game so i start out as a spacer-tech faction with custom biopunk crew

i have no idea why it's so compelling. rimworld itself is seeming increasingly more limited compared to dwarf fortress but this mod is a game changer (ha)

i'm basically building the Defiant right now

as one of the least corporate astroturfed places on the internet it's funny how hexbearite product recommendations have always been on point

maybe i'm too trusting but it's so hard to get legit opinions about things in this capitalist hellscape and this might be a sort of last enclave

used to be reddit but absolutely not anymore

and you never know maybe you'll build a chill mutual solidarity relationship, find out he's got family/friends back home, and have a welcoming place to stay while visiting Cuba one day!

yeah just noticed the hair. kind of fashy combo
