  • Wintry mix in my part of costal New England generally refers to when the temp is fluctuating atound freezing, causing precip to come down as alternating / indeterminate area to area snow / sleet/ freezing rain. The worry being that the slushy mess will then freeze on the ground when the temperature drops.

    For instance the radio station forecast yesterday was snow all day giving way to wintry mix from 9-11, then the temp dropping back to being snow 12-1 (when it cooled back down)

    Which it did. We got like a foot of show, then it rained for an hour, then we got another hour of snow.



  • Exactly. To my understanding, when people see demons, theyre being what they imagine a demon to look like, with no coherence between experiencers unless they already had a shared framework for those entities. Its similar to my seeing people I knew, memory/ imagination combined with a dream like state, innthe case of demons, probably with a component of chemically induced fear contributing.

    Id be curious to see more in depth testing on these mushrooms. Do the small people all have the same size between experiencers? Similar clothing, attributes, actions and movements, etc?

    In other words, how much of the e tities is defined by the user and how much the drug?


  • Sounds way more consistent than any halucinogen with a common theme that people see. Like DMT makes people see the ‘machine elves’ but afaik it’s well less than 50% of people / experiences who see them, and they take wildly different forms for different people. I also think a lot of that is psychosomatic- people going into an experience expecting to see something specific will sometimes synthesize that experience for themselves.

    The effects of deleriants tend to be more reliable, from my understanding, like dramamine making people see people who aren’t there / are dead. Which was a really uncanny experience when i tried it; youre not hallucinating the experience, but rather the memory of it having just happened, almost like waking up from a dream over and over. Like id looks up at the empty chair in my room and think ‘wasnt my brother just there talking about walking in the woods? Oh wait, he couldnt have been, he passed away 3 years ago’ i also kept hallucinating a cigarette, like id think I had just had ine between my fingers, had just taken a drag, and go to take another, then think I must have dropped it, only to realize there was no smoke in the room, I was just falsely remembering.

    I suspect these mushrooms have a mild deleriant compound in them, although even then were talking very consistent results.


  • Have you won a Nobel? Neither have I- we both started 0 wars, and ended 0. (Score (0/0)

    Henry Kissenger got his for negotiating the end of the Vietnam war- a war he had a part in begining and maintaining. Likewise with Arafat and Rabin’s 94 award for the Oslo accords- despite being partisans. (1/1) each, arguably more for kissenger, like 20/1

    Well, DJ’s record proves it- hes ended 8+ wars! but as of the most recent award, had started 0, for a score of (0/8) And that didn’t get him a peace prize. Clearly the ONLY way to get a peace prize is to not only end wars, but to start wars so they can be ended.

    This is an oversite on his part which he is seeking to rectify in both Venezuela and Greenland, and hes notifying the government of Norway to ensure future recognition

    After all, from the committee’s perspective it makes sense; if too many people end wars they didnt start, eventually, we’ll run out of wars and then there will be no more wars for people to end, and the Nobel peace prize committee will be out of a job!


  • Im kind of wondering if that isnt the real end game- there was a Bezos quote i saw the other day, where he said he wants to see personal computing die out in favor of essentially cloud based, where users own minimal hardware and just rent compute time for everything.

    It kind of feels like they dont actually need ai to succeed- its already achieving the goal of denying components to end users. If they maintain that scarcity long enough, they can kill the pc/ laptop status quo. (Especially if chip makers abandon those fabs for data center tailored units for a whole generation, until theres nothing viable left on the market)
