Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
(not in any way meaning to stan the weirdo) at that dosage it might be more than that, but also it’s ??? to me to consider taking that much while also being exposed to a bunch of people like that around me
and that it’s even the dosage it is feels like it tells you a hell of a lot about the extent of his baseline intake too
these creeps are doing a better job at antidrug messaging than any propaganda I ever saw
I dont know much about dosage numbers etc, care to mention a bit more how much is normal and how much he is off the baseline?
(I just recall some old friends who once tried shrooms and didnt seem to notice much so they went to a disco and for one of them it hit at the middle of the dancefloor so he stood there like a statue (the guy was also tall and a metalhead, so quite a sight). And before it became illegal (some tourist got himself killed by using shrooms and drinking and they blamed the shrooms) to give others spores or something I managed to get some from someone as a promo/anarchist thing. Never did anything with them).
(Fine if you dont want to, or if talking about it exposes you/others to risk etc, dont. Just curious).
That's about twice a 'normal dose' and in the realm of what Terrence McKenna would call a 'heroic dose'.
Mushrooms vary a lot in real potency but at that level of dosage ego death is almost guaranteed, and it's likely that the user will spend at least 30 minutes to an hour unable to articulate language.
I love the phrase ego death because everyone I've heard describe the experience sounds like the most egotistical mf in the universe with how impressed they are by their own self-enlightenment.
