    My wife and I were living in the heart of Hispanic community near Ft. Collins, Colorado. One day we just had to have taco bell. The value meal that’s $13 in the midwest was around $22. We abandoned the plan. The taqueria makes better gringo tacos for $2ea be it in Colorado or the midwest.

    I didn’t really have a point. I guess it’s to explore your local taqueria. If the only proficient english language speakers are high school age or younger then you’ve found a solid joint.





  • If I’m understanding correctly the argument against her competing hinges upon a genetic test that the article provides no information for.

    The evidence that she’s a woman seems overwhelming. But the article doesn’t provide the necessary information for an reader to understand and defeat the objection. We’re not to reason for ourselves. Instead, we’re to rely on ad hominem: The objection itself doesn’t matter because it came from Russia. The article also ignores fallacy fallacy: There’s also a very small possibility that Russia has reached the “good” conclusion for entirely “bad” reasons.

    I know three things:

    1. She’s almost certainly a biological woman.
    2. She won.
    3. The author thinks you’re stupid.






  • I went back out with my flashlight and saw the same hundreds of eyes. Fucking gators.

    Sober, at night, in the desert: Hundreds of eyes, like stars in the sky. Fucking spiders.

    Mushrooms can give you a pretty bad trip as well,

    I agree.

    at least it doesn’t last as long as acid.

    Also, one can also mitigate the effects with induced vomiting, alcohol, or sleep. A batch of shrooms never has byproducts or laced drugs. If they’re particularly strong then grind them up, weigh doses, and encapsulate.

    I took my last dose of LSD more than twenty years ago. Everyone shouldn’t choose as I do because they’re not me. My only intent is people make wiser choices.

    My advice for either one is make sure you have people around that you love and trust - being alone or being with strangers can be bad news.

    Far more important than squabbles over which one is better to start with. I was an adolescent that took what was in front of me while back of car camping with friends, a few acting as babysitters.


  • If you had relatively clean LSD and mushrooms, both of which you’d sampled, which would you recommend the hypothetical beginner I’d addressed?

    If it’s LSD then something’s fucked in your supply or you’re a unique personality that doesn’t realize they’re different from the vast majority of others in some fundamental way.

    I can definitely understand how some people would prefer LSD afterwards, with experience. I’d advise that person that long term LSD usage, even microdosing for performance enhancement, will definitely have permanent effects upon their psyche. Maybe good, maybe bad. Future them will decide.

    So essentially, you will vote for whatever will have the greatest potential good effect.

    Yes.

    Deep red state? Green, Dems won’t win so why not pressure politicians?

    Deep Blue? Green, Dems will win, so pressure them.

    These are the easier ones.

    Swing state? Blue, best not to let the fascists drag everything further to hell if you can.

    I’d probably vote for Kamala if I lived in a swing state. But, shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. I could respect other choices based upon the reasoning and lived experience presented with them.

    Find a party even more likely to drag the overton window back to left, if they exist.

    Sure, if electoral means is the way one wants to contribute to our future. But, the Greens are doing fine holding on to a framework of ballot access and I discourage party loyalty. Critically right now, and relative electoralism, there’s more meaningful alternative contributions individuals could choose.

    The furthest left sane option is likely to win?

    That’s what we’d like to think about ourselves. The truth is that when movements scale they suck. The best humanity can seem to do at scale is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.

    Protest vote of nobody as now you can tell them the system itself is the problem

    I thought about doing this. But, by time I got through the line I realized I’d waste two minutes of a hundred people’s time for nothing. I voted my races and got out of the way.

    I can respect that

    Thank you.

    He didn’t have to choose to take corporate money. Once he had then he didn’t have to choose the mansion. However, he chose both of them.

    He doesn’t live the life of his constituents. Maintenance of his quality of life and that of his family is now dependent upon representing the will of the corporate donor. He’s very “in touch” with the exploitation of his constituents or he’d not be a candidate for DNC VP.

    Just a suggestion: You should ask more questions.
