I’m a dude in Oregon. I regularly make bad life decisions and do not make a habit of learning from my mistakes.
I think people usually use the term “Greenhouse Gasses” because it’s an umbrella term for the other compounds like methane that do the same thing (except it doesn’t taste as good when dissolved in your soda).
I hope your source is on this train of thought and not something about secret Nazi’s melting the ice caps to establish a base and awaken Mega-Hitler from his slumber.
“SO HOW ABOUT THAT ISRAELI - PALLESTINIAN CONFLICT?”
As a furry, this breaks my (OC) generic neon green wolf’s heart (don’t steal).
It’s like a necktie for your butt! I’d take it over flat-butt.
I personally think it was part of the “Bone a Drone” movement that was used to collect samples of human DNA in order to synthesize fake human beings that would potentially make it into statures of power in order to create a new world order.
I don’t really, but that’s a much more compelling story than, “late stage Capitalism sucks for almost everyone involved”.
It was a good sustained 15 to 20 seconds, and the lumen it projected didn’t really fluctuate. It was more in the yellow than white spectrum as well. Makes sense for my initial description, but it doesn’t make sense for the Willamette Valley, the color, and pattern of movement. Not that I have a better explanation, but I’ve spent my whole professional life as a food QA auditor and lab tech, so I’m used to just reporting things I’ve seen and not reading into them.
Probably an attempt at a viral marketing campaign. Everything seems to turn out disappointing these days.
Atheist and skeptic, so I can’t jump to conclusions, but I watched a sphere of light move alongside me in my car while I was driving next to the Willamette river in West Salem, Oregon. It moved and stopped with more precision than I’ve ever seen from a drone and stayed about 50-some feet in the air above the river. I moved my head around consistently to ensure it wasn’t a reflection on my windshield. My friend had told me about his “alien experience” that sounded shockingly the same, also in West Salem, but a good year before this. He claims to have seen multiple and was just standing outside for a cigarette.
Yo, I’m just happy to learn new things! Hell, my post was imploring people to criticize it, so you aren’t wrong in “well actually”-ing me. Keep killing it and keep sharing good chemistry knowledge! Psychoactive substances are continuously more intriguing to me as I learn more.
I met one of the grandsons of Alex Shulgin (creator of MDMA) in a drug diversion class that I taught briefly at the University of Oregon (meant for kids that were caught smoking weed in the dorms). I only hosted the class for a few months until I got complaints that I was too fascinated with the drug interactions and not with the whole “diversion” part of it.
But hey, everyone learned not to mix central nervous system depressants, which was the largest cause of drug-related fatalities at the UO, so I think I did my job effectively. Wish they would have paid me for it.
You’re good people, havokdjfintquuffatcpl.
Hot take, but hurtfully inaccurate. It’s worth looking at the research on hallucinogenic Tryptamines. DMT naturally exists in the brain and is used during R.E.M. sleep.
God, that’s a book and a half of neuro-interaction, isn’t it?
I mean, they never didn’t exist, but… fuck.
I… I guess because a subclass of psychoactive molecules came into existence after my education, I’m wrong. Just sucks to learn that and make sense of myself thereafter.

Lysergemise deez nuts…
But in good faith and context, what are the differences in action potentials? Is it worth writing about? That’s an actual question, because (apologies) I’m stoned as fuck.
Also, how is it suddenly not a tryptamine?
I mean, this is going to sound super-oversimplified but hopefully correct: we know that Tryptamines like LSD and psilocybin serve their most novel functions on 5-HT2A serotonin binding sites and there are a lot in the thalamus, which is largely responsible for routing information to other parts of the brain. That would explain a lot of people’s accounts of synesthesia.
The circumstances that are necessary to promote neuroplasticity weren’t clear when I was in skool, but the fastest way to get a credible answer on the internet is to be wrong about something, so I’m going to claim it was 95.6% magic.
I’m literally losing friends by nature of death. It’s been humbling and horrifying, and I don’t know how to make sense of it. I’m terrified and there’s no getting out of this roller coaster.
I’m not sure I’ve Δ’d my opinion on that.
It remains to be seen if global temperature will eventually max out (likely after a major population decline) or if we’re headed in the direction of Venus, where the planet just gets turbo-fucked beyond the ability to retain any life.
