potoooooooo 🥔

I’ve got your 3.14 inches right here.

Every guy thinks he needs a Magnum.

Can we get that WAP up on the WAN?

Love it. I aim to do the same.

This looks super cool. Thanks for sharing it!

You should’ve been on the ride! It was indeed something.

Tl;dr version:

Take mushrooms in Amsterdam, say “it’s not doing anything” and also take your sister-in-law’s portion (turns out everyone is going to bed so you’re on your own for this first psilocybin trip, which should make it easier to…)

Cry for five to six hours, finally lose religion and 80-90 pounds (over next 6-12 months), get medicated for ADHD (not currently, but sure helps), continue occasionally microdosing and/or smoking pot until everything finishes clicking.

Even if that baby thinks they can’t.

I worry you’re right.

That video is like a weirdly nostalgic confessional of my time in D.C. I was a huge piece of shit. Systematic theology book. Capitol Hill job. Little bitty bow ties. Speakeasies. Pork stuffed potatoes at Dixie Bones. People can change.

Thanks. Take lots of psychedelics, everyone.

When I was a conservative piece of shit, in my younger days, I had the most outlandish bumper stickers you can imagine. Probably more outlandish than you can imagine, actually, 99.9% likelihood. There were quite a few. I knew I was being an ass and I loved when it offended people, because I was miserable. Someone was paying attention to me. I was getting a reaction. I existed! Anyway, yeah, it can be as simple as “they get off on ruining your day cuz they’re miserable pieces of shit.” Speaking from experience.

Wouldn’t have it any other way.

That’s where I got my start, too. Shifted to lemmy.world when it so sadly went away.

I also presume some level of common-sense. Don’t do it near cameras, destroy the notes immediately, etc… It’s not air-tight, but it’s a surprisingly useful approach in many contexts where very expensive technology can fail.

Obviously, yeah, it wouldn’t work in the middle of a Target. And given the AI tools that can use keyboard typing sounds to determine what was typed, it’s even theoretically possible there’s some bleeding-edge capability to circumvent it. But in general, if you’re in some context where you’re not sure if you’re being listened to/monitored, handwritten notes would definitely work, because your biggest concerns are e-mail, text messages, phone calls, GPS, etc…

Only tangentially related, but in the vein of privacy and circumventing surveillance, one communication idea I really like in that vein is from the show The Leftovers–the way the “Remnant” group communicates only by simple handwritten notes.

I just like the idea that something so rudimentary could theoretically overcome a lot of very high-tech snooping equipment. Good luck using your Stingray cell tower simulator to intercept my notepad scribbles.

With tiny hands, obviously.

Speaking of which, a recent Android update (I know I should change OSes) got rid of the little Lemmy.world web app icon thing I had installed and I haven’t been able to get it back, so far. Does anyone know how to fix that? That was working great as my RIF replacement. I read it all again and I’m such a grandma. :(

I’ve enjoyed my NVIDIA Shield, though it’s arguably a bit long in the tooth if they’re still full price.

Kindly refrain.
