@jestdotty there are experiments with ESP without drugs. The Gateway Experience was designed by the CIA to do this without LSD. You can torrent it.

Also, I talked to people who say there is a gateway spirit trapping us on this world they have seen with LSD. They said it looks like the Mayan depictions of the same. Apparently the Mayans knew how to party.

@12bitfloat Maybe it is why I tend to troll people online. The fear/anxiety of pissing people off and getting mad. Maybe its a drug for assholes.

I see what you mean and get where you are coming from. If I am not actively learning new things then I get into a fog of despair. Every once in a while I have to pull myself out of this fog. It seems harder each time too.

Maybe if we talk about this more we can help each other learn techniques to enliven our experiences?

But yeah, that is why I cannot play vanilla Minecraft or Skyrim anymore. I have to play ultra-modded experiences. There is a reason that "variety" is an essential component to healthy mental health.

If you haven't then play a structured "expert" Minecraft modpack. Something like Stoneblock 3. It will bring some of that joy back.

I also like highly modded Skyrim. Where someone else curated a pack that doesn't crash much and I can kill (and fuck in some packs) across Skyrim. It satisfies that primal instinct men crave. To be powerful and destroyer of worlds. Which is also another basic human need.

@TheBeardedOne people are a bit more reserved. I limit this behavior as some people just seem like the kind of people who would complain officially.

@antigermgerm yeah, not that one. lol

@antigermgerm yeah, the interesting reincarnation stories I have heard about this makes me think there might be something to this.

@retoor not jail, rope.

@12bitfloat I just saw a stat that said there are 2.3 Million federal workers supposedly. I have no idea if this include contractors. That just seems like a staggering number to me.

@jestdotty yeah TES has magic and steam punk tech.

@12bitfloat usa had roads when there was no income tax.

I think the gas tax covers roads in the USA. Income tax is on top of that. From what I can tell a lot of it is being used to subvert the government right now. And governments around the world.

@jestdotty so basically a Japanese trend? Aren't they having issues with population shrinking because dudes won't talk to girls?

@D-4got10-01 yeah, there is a whole segment of satanist shit on there. I was like how the fuck did I find this?

@D-4got10-01 I won't use names of actual people. I don't want to know what kind of shit they actually did. I learned my lesson when I found games on Itch.io that featured Little St. James island pedo themes. Bunch of devil shit with it.

@SidTheITGuy @lungdart

@D-4got10-01 so in conspiracy circles some aliens come from alternate dimensions. The rumor is Crowly (satanist of some sort) made contact with interdimensional beings, the grey aliens. I have never seen this used in a video game setting. At least one that I have played. I would obviously change the story, but I think this could cover the tech side. The lore is so rich it could be a game on its own.

Hmm, maybe I should start in Steampunk world.

@Tounai it is even worse when you find out lockdowns are the worst thing you can do during an outbreak. The smart people had covid parties and got it over with. Everything the government told you to do was designed to make you die if you got sick. No sun = no vitamin D. No socializing = drugs and suicide. No exposure = no immune system. Masks = bacterial pneumonia and oxygen issues.

All of it was exertion of government overreach and testing if people will comply. Create emergencies so they can take more power.

@Lensflare think CHAZ

When you entered, and they didn't think you were a cop, they handed you shrooms.

@Lensflare I think the preferred method is planes right now. Failure is more likely to kill everyone.

@TheBeardedOne yeah, I saw where they found 4.7 Trillion that they can't account for where it went this last month. And they are just getting started.

Rebel! The Revolutionary American war was over a 2% tax. Of course now we are just accepting almost 50% tax...

@donkulator so this was a conversation with a person I knew 25 years ago. I don't know: the details, the intelligence of the drug user, or what precautions they took. It was an entertainer trying to get high whilst doing a recording. The IQ in the room probably dropped when they entered.

@retoor we hired a web dev because all the C++ people are busy. So we gotta train them in fucking C++...

@Hazarth it really isn't that hard to make a module in Python. But maybe I am overestimating skills of Data Scientists.

@Lensflare please don't make this worse. lol

I saw a Tesla try to drive onto train tracks and driver had to nudge it to not. Imagine if driver was sleeping.

Also, I think automated cars are a way to knock people off you don't like. Big brother shit.

@retoor I hear some schools are only focusing on web tech. Like WTF, that market is full.

My friend owned a recording studio in california. I can't remember her name (was a really popular singer at the time), but she would have someone blow coke in her vagina. The reason is coke could damage her vocal chords. (I think coke could be laced with stuff that would cut the flesh in the nose to allow better uptake)

I have never had coke, so I cannot know what that would feel like.

The processor is just wild. But Microsoft...

"- flying and electric cars"

Both of these things are fucked. People can't even drive on the ground without being stupid. Flying cars will be several times more dangerous. Dead God, I can't even imagine flying electric cars! Some Tesla Icarus will burst into flames and land is someone's house!

@retoor

More likely beginner programmers will be replaced by senior/experienced programmer using AI to do the meaningless boilerplate the junior was doing. So schools will have to skill up to get people into the workforce.
