Does Lemmy have a way of blocking sources?

I mean, he probably won’t fly commercial passenger flights anymore, but there’s a good chance he could still be a bush pilot in Alaska.

Shrooms might be out of your system, but there can definitely be after affects that come about hours after you think you’re “done” tripping. Anecdotally, it happened to me. Took some shrooms with friends one day, had a great time, came down without issue. Later that night (roughly 16-18 hours after the trip) I experienced something that broke my psyche for a while.

I won’t go into details, but I 100% believed I got sucked into a horrible alternate reality and was trapped. I wound up jumping out an open window on the second floor to “escape” and had a full on psychological breakdown. After several days of ego death, I decided it had to have been residual effects from the shrooms, because I just don’t think I can accept the alternative.

Granted, that is not a full 40 hours like this pilot. But before my experience I would have told you it’s not possible to have hallucinations from a psychedelic hours after the trip had ended. Psychedelic’s literally make new connections in your brain, it’s not like those all just disappear when it leaves your system.

Part of me agrees with this, part of me thinks that these people are too far into the weeds to know what’s possible. Change brings chaos. And when you’re at your stressful job with a shitty machine that you are constantly trying to keep running, eventually you reach a point where the thought of turning off the machine is unthinkable.

From an outside perspective, it seems obvious. The machine is bad. We should get rid of it and try something different. But that concept is terrifying to the people who work on the machine. Turn it off? But they’ve spent years learning how to work with the machine! They know how to sometimes get the machine to do what they want! If they replace the machine with something else, what if they can’t figure out how to work the new system? Maybe someday they can replace the machine, but right now? In the middle of everything else? No, no, far too risky. Best to try to keep working with the same old machine.

Ok, but only to an extent. Prisoners 100% get fingerprinted. Not sure if they collect their DNA too, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised; to the point where I already assume they do.

I was ready to dismiss it all as a joke, but Epstein’s brother came out and said it wasn’t about Clinton… But, pointedly, did NOT say it wasn’t about a blowjob.

So while I’m pretty sure he didn’t suck off old Bill, it’s potentially true that he did give someone a blow job.

Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?

Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.

Lol, it’s a bill dude. That’s how bills work. The bill is called The Epstein Files Transparency Act. There is nothing special about this bill that would make it go straight from the House to the Justice Department. It still has to go through the Senate and be signed into law by the president before it takes effect.

You fell for the bait. And I get it, you’re probably scrambling now, looking up the actual reality of the situation going “No… No, that can’t be right… If that was how it worked then all this would be meaningless, and if this is all meaningless then why would every news site and social media board be talking about it as if it wasn’t? People would have to be complete, ignorant, fucking idiots for that to be the case…”

And now you know why I’m going bald.

…“If”?.. Do people just not understand the bare fucking basics of how the government works?

It won’t release on Tuesday. Not because of any kind of cover up, but because it’s only in the House right now. If on Tuesday the House votes to release it… It goes to the Senate. And they won’t vote on it that same day. There is no “if” it releases on Tuesday because there is literally no route for that to happen. And even moving forward, it’s extremely unlikely to ever get released this way.

That’s why I’ve been pulling my hair out at all the idiots going “OMG we got the 218 signatures now! They’re gonna vote to release it!!1!”

Yea… In the House. Then it goes to the Senate. Then it goes to Trump’s desk where he’s essentially guaranteed to veto it. Then it goes back to the house who now needs a 2/3rds majority, which they don’t have.

That’s how fucking bills work. We learned this in fucking grade school with schoolhouse rock. “Oh we have the signatures now!” is completely meaningless. It’s like celebrating you won the lottery when all you’ve done is buy a ticket; you still don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell.

Yea, but idiots feel better when they think the people dismantling society are all secretly miserable and are only doing the things they do because they have hurt feelings, rather than being a part of a coordinated effort to consolidate of power into the hands of the wealthy and getting everything they ever wanted.

Are you saying that if I go to imgflip and spend 10 seconds putting text on an image; that I can… No, that I deserve to put my watermark on it? That my meme is so sacred, and so important, that I should make sure to plug my Instagram on it? Look at me! Look at me! I made a funny everyone! Please acknowledge me!

If someone slaps their name on something that cost them next to zero time, effort, or creativity, then it’s not credit. It’s just a fucking ad.

Sophisticated PC gamers: “Graphics aren’t that important. The surge of indie games has shown that fun gameplay is really the only important factor. If big companies really cared, they would spend more time making sure their game was enjoyable to play rather than worrying about dumb things like hair physics and background animations.”

Also sophisticated PC gamers: “OMG the new Pokemon game looks like CRAP! Why would anyone bother to play such an ugly game that looks like it came out 10 years ago?!”

Yea, it’s an honest mistake that could happen to anyone! I mean, who among us HASN’T ordered an online prostitute who we thought was barely legal that turned out to be underage? There’s no way to avoid it!

Hell yes, two joysticks! My biggest gripe with the first steam controller is that I could NOT get used to using the touchpad as a joystick.

Completely unrelated, but did you know that if all 4 tires are slashed on your car, insurance will typically cover the replacement; but if only 2-3 tires are slashed, you have to cover the replacement cost yourself?
