  • I learnt to use these… Completely without instruction. I move my hands as I type and alternate my fingers by default.
    I’ve tried touch typing tutorials, where I’m meant to keep my fingers within a ‘zone’, however it was causing my hands to cramp once I reached 90 WPM.

    These little indicators are lovely for touch typing though, even if I’m not doing it ‘properly’. No repetitive strain injury in my weird way of typing without looking though!

    Depends on the person. Everyone reacts differently to any drug, and cannabis is no different in this respect.
    I have friends who consume once or twice per day, any more and they’re not functional enough for the day. I have friends who consume once every few weeks, any more and it causes issues for them.

    I consume 2-3g of flower per day, throughout each day, alongside the occasional hashish and edible, and I’ve accomplished a fair bit from an unconditional offer to university for History BA Hons, worked for a US gov contract with the Affordable Care Act, etc. etc. (currently taking a change of direction and getting into a more creative field).

    If most people smoked like I do, the last thing they would be doing is reading novels and research articles like myself.

    Everyone is different. Really pay attention to how your consumption affects you, and make a sober assessment on whether it’s something that you’re comfortable fitting into your life in the manner in which you consume. The truth that many people don’t say, and this is coming from a consumer of just over two decades, is there are plenty of people for which cannabis is NOT good for, and provides more detriment than benefit.

    Listen to your body and mind, is all I can suggest, but if you feel that it doesn’t cause conflicts in your daily living I wouldn’t worry about it. Enjoy the ganja, find something tasty and have a good time :)




  • Same thing with me and LSD. It is insanely powerful when used therapeutically, however that is also why I don’t talk about it irl at-all. The short explanation is that I don’t believe many people can handle these things and come out with similar clarity.\

    If anyone is interested, please do as much research if you can. I would recommend James Fadiman’s Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide.

    I absolutely loved my lecturers in uni.

    They did all sorts of things to hint at getting the books for free, like Z Library at the time and such. Once a lecturer arranged to turn her back to the board and be ambiguous about her mentions, with a student putting the link written on paper on the board.

    They thought it was also bullshit to pay so much for material, and encouraged piracy since we were paying a fair bit for tuition and such anyway.




  • The best burgers I have had, have been from small back alley places. Had one a couple of months ago, lovely quarter pounder with chips (fries) and a drink for around £6 here in London.

    Had less of an upset stomach too, although I do still check the hygiene ratings for the places which helps in this regard.

    I do this always, and even for my spliff ends (we call the cardboard bit a roach here) in a pocket ash tray.

    It really bugs me when I find a rather nice smoke spot, lovely nature area, and upon my third or fourth visit there is just rubbish everywhere.

    Folks have cleaned the areas, only to find them in such a state in practically no time at all.

    I wish people would take more responsibility with their rubbish. It literally takes only one pocket, or a small otherwise unused compartment in my bag. It’s ridiculously easy to not litter!!

    I like to encourage a silly sort of reaction, rather than a hostile one.

    I was playing Rocket League the other day, and said that the enemy team’s mother buys off-brand baked beans. I got called a doughnut.

    If someone is being angry, try calling them various fruit. Then again some people are just straight up chikoos.
