I should really think more about compersion. It's an idea that I think and talk about frequently, but it's a term my brain hasn't yet held for the long term. But I have huge amounts of compersion. I get so excited when good things happen to the people I care about. Our polyamory thrives on how happy it makes me to see my wife in that happy, lovey way with someone. I am just as delighted that my best friend was recently promoted to AM as I am that I was promoted to key lead with her. Compersion is a big part of my life that I should give more space and respect to express itself.

DO NOT ADD ANOTHER PERSON BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILING RELATIONSHIP

It's insane to me that this apparently must be said by multiple people with massive emphasis. We only considered this because our relationship was and still is so strong. We just met really young and have a lot of love to give. I don't want to lose my wife or have had only one great romance in my life. She didn't want marrying a woman to mean she would never experience men again. So we share the incredible bounty of love in which we live.

I could see how it could just exaggerate the typical "time flies when you're having fun" experience, but that's not it for me. I genuinely love my job with everything in me. Yesterday was a great day in the time vortex. Both of my best friends work Fridays, and I enjoyed perceiving extra time with them.

Well I tend to avoid anything too stimulating in terms of cannabis because it makes me anxious. But this is even just a small amount of plain thc without terps or minor cannabinoids. Hell, the H4CBD I've been mixing in with my CBG to elevate my mood has incredibly minor effects compared to thc, and it still does it sometimes.

It didn't involve the assistant manager of a cheap motel, did it? I guess if you were the person I know who had that experience, you'd probably recognize my name and story.

We opened up an existing relationship, but it was more my idea for her to have a boyfriend. I knew she romanticized affairs and infidelity. I knew that her experience of being with a man romantically and physically is meaningfully different from how we are together. And I've just never been that sort of possessive, so I encouraged her to seek out something I couldn't give her

People already suck at handling a single relationship so statistically handling more is just significantly more difficult

I guess that's a fair point. My wife and I were the stable thing in each other's lives for years before this started. We have a love that can't be stopped and have navigated more together than most couples ever will. Neither of us would have considered a second partner if we thought it could have weakened our foundational relationship. That is what has freed us to have these experiences.

So called "deli style" dispensaries do exist, but at least in Missouri it is a much steeper application and permitting process. If weed only had alcohol style sales restrictions, it would be everywhere. But weed is scary so they make a bunch of rules to make themselves feel safer.

My wife and I are serious arts and entertainment people. We watch a lot of stuff--new and old, good and bad, any and all lengths. We met on a forum for the Dark Tower books, and experiencing and discussing art together has always been important to us. So carefully selecting and occasionally rotating paid services is a whole thing for us.

Interesting. At home it doesn't have the same sized effect. When I don't have to be doing and paying attention to a bunch of shit, I have a pretty good sense of time. Stoned or sober, I usually know the time off the top of my head within ~10 minutes. I know because my wife thinks it's neat and likes to test me. But at work all the details grow to enormous size and duration. I'm so caffeinated and going so fast that the world gets slow around me. It makes me even more Flora from I'm a Virgo than usual.

It's all dispensary weed with COAs and shit xd. I sometimes sell them the edible and see them eat it. And it doesn't fuck their sense of time at all like mine. It makes the day faster and easier for them. It's inexplicable to me.

I mean, I do buy hard copies of some things. But that is ludicrously far from a replacement for current TV. Many shows never get physical releases. Many shows will only get a physical release if they get enough viewers on their original platforms. Or they don't get a physical release for years after the original airing. And that's not even getting into how expensive it would be. To get full collections of all the shows we watch and rerun on Hulu would cost several hundred dollars. And then I'm still missing Jeopardy and Holey Moley and plenty of other shows and movies. Buying hard copies is a wildly inadequate replacement.
