Hey you got there eventually with a little prodding.

No wörries.

(you did it again btw)

Well they’re literally in another galaxy, and at first they’re stranded there.

It does connect with Earth and SG1 characters guest star revert now and then.

Ofc it’s still not as Earthcentric as SG1 but

Oh they did, yeah. But if you go back a century or two and manage some great political changes to the industrial revolution, we could avoid the worst of capitalism and actually get proper cooperatives, thus actually funding the people instead of large institutions / nations / corporations, which whole claiming to do good, actually ended up doing bad.

That’s the short and more rational version. My own is just like, go back in time and shoot the fuckers responsible for the drug war and we’d avoid quite a bit of the problems we currently have. I could go into a whole multihour monologue as to how the lack of empathy in today’s world is because we live in much larger societies but also, because I believe prehistoric humans actually had a tendency to do parties with serotonergic substances (shrooms back then, nowadays also lsd and mdma), which are proved to increase empathy and lessen your fear of strangers (this would’ve been necessary for populations as you can’t inbreed with a small hunter-gatherer group, you need to meet other groups and have fresh genetic material), and while that is still going on with a small part of the population, most people aren’t doing it and are stuck treating eveyone outside their family as “others” and that just won’t work in our interconnected world where we need to work together to avoid the only known planet to sustain life from becoming uninhabitable to humans.

But that’s just a brief version of my 2 cents. And because it’s so short I believe most will perceive it as schizo babble than actual reasoned arguments but as I said, I could write a book on this shit so I understand that a silly short version won’t convince anyone.

Because you’d rather live in the cold dark ocean than in your neet cave?

Just go back ~century and fix it there, easy peasy.

Billy Russo?

Though her methods were criminal and involved kidnapping children from poor families to sell to wealthy ones, her practices inadvertently shaped key aspects of the modern adoption system.

Okay, you got me there. What about “Iran used to be nicer”? Would that be okay?

Well yes, Iran used to be nice.

Unfortunately they had/have oil.

I read that in the voice of Frank Skinner.

Wait wait wait.

Sooo… a theocratic nation lead by irrational bigots, using decades old ultracapitalistic plans… aren’t getting shit done?

Vodka and oysters?

Boogers seasoned with hospital smell? That’s how I imagine it being, at least.

Edit gibe me dark rum and beef tartar instead

Nah I just never watched it myself, and my vision has gotten so shit I read “Ricky” as “Rick”.

My bad.

Complaining about complainers is my favourite thing on the internet

Seconded.

Should prolly try shamans piss version of amanitas. You know where a proper geezer who’s been eating these for decades dries them properly, then eats a whole bunch, then pisses in a dish and then you drink the piss.

That would probably get closer to the roots of what amanitas are about. I had a similar very mild but in no way negatively experience as you.

Laid on a sofa and it felt slightly like as if on a magic carpet through space. But like, that needed imagination, I wasn’t experiencing that, but if I had to describe what sort the mild feeling was.

Technically it’s completely edible, insofar that it’ll only give you nausea / stomach cramps and a wicked high. Whereas white amanitas are lethal.

The “properly cooked” here refers to well dried and sort of cured material, which has more uh, I want to say “muscimol in relation to ibotenic acid”, iirc. Your liver will also convert the ibotenic acid into muscimol, but that’s where the nausea would come from, as your liver works hard and there’s metabolic byproduct or some such.

But when you properly dry the shrooms, a lot of that ibotenic acid gets tuned into muscimol, which doesn’t usually cause nausea that much.

To me all these people sound exactly like the douchey “I-I can’t never eevher geth theh slightestht bhith dhrunk” guys.

Tldr just because you’re not perceptive about your own perception doesn’t mean it hasn’t been altered.

And it’s far out, man.
