I realize it may not be the most popular opinion, but maybe slide  in those MREs you give out. I'm not the most generous person, but I'll give out $50-100 a month because thankfully the VA kicks me enough that I can afford it, even after throwing a bit into savings. Usually it's people in obvious hardships, housing, gas, food. Sometimes I throw in a pack of cigarettes, a soda, or a joint on extremely rare occasions. Call me a sucker or whatever, but I don't need to spend $10 more on poo poo made in china for me, my needs are met. That $10 will get whoever is sitting next to that stop sign or gas station a lot further than me. poo poo's only getting rougher too.

Pretty much, yeah. I could spend more on weed, there's always more expensive poo poo. But $50/g rosin isn't getting me any more stoned than $10/g shatter. I'm like the weed equivalent of an Evan Williams drinker.

There needs to be a chart for dumb dumbs like me. The numbers and names of poo poo under there I may as well be reading a loving can of shampoo on the shitter. Gimme a fighter game chart where it's just how much I'm gonna enjoy TV vs eat too much vs just having a massive anxiety attack. And don't lie people would buy the anxiety attack strains there's people who do DMT and PCP already.

Honestly, edibles are the easiest way to get into weed. Start with 5mg or less dosing, if you feel comfortably, step up to 10mg, etc. More accurate control over dosing than smoking the cheap mystery shake at the dispensary. In terms of flower, there are "dad weed" strains out there, but the big thing is lower potency. If you smoked 90s brick, that was estimated to be 3-5% thc. You might ask for a strain in the 10% neighborhood, typically these are higher CBD % strains, which most people claim tends to help tame anxiety. Anxiety is primarily driven by too much thc. Most flower is hybrid now, but certain compounds found in sativa strains aid in appetite control (thc-v), some more prevalent in indicas have higher cbn, which can make you sleepy, but mostly lock you into the couch. Want a more active, awake high? Looks for sativas. Lazy day in the recliner? Indica. Most hybrids are a compromise, usually in favor of yield. And the genetics get murky fast. Concentrates. Hash. Cartridges. I would stay clear of these unless smell is a big concern. One hit can overwhelm a new smoker. Generally speaking though, carts are convenient, good if you're a semi regular smoker already, just mind that one hit on a pen can be like 5 on a joint. If you get up to owning a dab rig and using a torch, welcome to my neighborhood. Percentages are what matter here, price is a matter of purity. If you're explicitly not wanting to use hash extracted with propane or butane, you will pay more. Crumble, basic wax and shatter tend to occupy the lower tier pricewise, will be extracted using dino gases. Live resin will be as well, but tends to be made from fresh frozen buds instead of trim and near expired flower like cheap crumble, wax or shatter. When you get to solventless rosin, you're paying $30-50 per half-gram at some places. It tastes loving amazing. It is amazing. But it won't get you any higher than the $10/g wax. This has been know your weed with crusty minge. And remember, when in doubt, just set it down for a few minutes. Sometimes less is more. I hit a few dabs while typing this and refuse to fix small errors. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jun 23, 2022 |

I'm feeling like I'm sober even though I'm drinking. I can't get properly drunk. I go from sober to sleepy without any pleasantness in between. Because the world is a gently caress. I actually believed in this stupid country once. Now I just see a rapid plunge into actual literal academically defined fascism because it was actually founded on white supremacy and despite a really strong influx of immigrants (voluntary and... involuntary) who try their damndest to make America live up to the Enlightenment ideals that the fuckers wrote down, xenophobia and goddamn fucks who want a libertarian playground for their melanin deprived dumbshit granfaloon and subjugation for everyone else are going to win and they were always going to win. I've got two beautiful little girls and I don't want to raise them in a nuclear armed fascist shithole. But what the gently caress. I love my dumb stupid poo poo rear end city and the dumb stupid people who believe in it and my friends who I don't want to lave and I don't think I can bring myself to leave. So because I'm a sentimental coward idiot I'm going to condemn my kids to grow up in a fascist country instead of movig the gently caress to Europe to give them a real life. I want to do it. I'm tired. I loving fought. I sucked in the tear gas in Ferguson while washing the OC out of the eyes of real people who want a better life then under the pigs boot. I fought for reform and fair redistricting and all that poo poo and I lost. I'm not saying this to brag or be a big internet man. Just saying where I stood and where I stand. Ten years ago or if I didn't have kids I'd be there with the antifa supersoldiers with a stupid mil spec rifle because I dont' care enogh about guns to learn to shoot anything new but the point is I have kids and I want to see them grow up so I'm not going to go out there any more. I'm a coward now because I care about my kids more than my ideals I guess. Too scared to fight, too soft to leave probably. So I just drink and hope I can catcha good buzz but I can't. I can't get properly drunk any more. I just drink and then hop on DuoLingo to pretend to myself that I could learn another language and have an escape hatch for when this dumb racist rear end country goes fash for the last and most definitive time soon. World is a gently caress.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Baked potato recipe. Anyone ever notice that when you look up how long it takes to bake a potato the internet returns some crazy poo poo like, "it will be done in 25-40 min!" Instead I end up "checking for doneness" about 20 times until they are cooked. Every time I fall for their promise, every time the variables change, every time they take forever.

I prefer chopping my potatoes down and tossing them in a bag of cooking oil, sea salt and black pepper before dumping them in a baking pan for an hour or so. Also works well with brussel sprouts, way better than boiling and smothering in cheese like product.

Try the brussel sprouts again, but instead of using the oven, saute them. Put them cut side down, and let them brown up. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic and some fresh parmesan (or hard cheese of choice), sometimes I will add some thinly sliced garlic towards the end.

I don't cut my sprouts down before cooking, just peel a few leaves off before tossing them in oil and into the oven. I've sauted plenty of stuff when I worked in kitchens, but I'm lazy at home and try to minimize the amount of work or time I spend in the kitchen. That and I have a glass top stove, which is only a notch above useless for sauteing.

Oh yeah, sprouts take forever to cook if you don't cut them down, but I like letting them take a little more time anyhow. Depends on what I'm doing, but sprouts always went into the oven first, with potatoes or whatever that will take equally long. Always gave me time to better season and tenderize the meat. Or just extra time to smoke a bowl while they roasted under broiler temps. I really need a gas range if I'm going to saute anything. Electric sucks, even coils.

I give my sprouts a brief steam (8-10 minutes) whole before doing something else to them, as it gives them a more uniform texture to the final product without sacrificing texture and flavor.

I might do that next time. Fortunately I bought a rice cooker with a steamer tray. I figured out the apartment complex gas grill the other day, so I'm burning their propane instead of my electric bill tonight. And Frank appreciates his chicken grilled more than boiled or baked (he's had chicken in his diet regularly for over a year). And I bought coors light yesterday for some reason.

I hate pa so much. The shitbags in Central PA are homophobic racist backwards peices of poo poo. About a month ago a customer assaulted my husband at work and later that week some sack of poo poo called every number of corporate to complain because he has a satanic temple sticker on his car. The poo poo he hears about various things from worm brained traitors is aggravating. I'm at least somewhat lucky in keeping things to myself from coworkers, but I can't wait to leave here anyway, as soon as I can either transfer with pcs expenses or get a new job with pcs expenses. And my dad apparently has melanoma, though he's just had one biopsy done. I'm not really sure what that means though, or even if it's different than skin cancer. Cool. Apparently he'll be at mass general though, so I guess that's good Pine Cone Jones fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 10, 2022 |

Sorry for posting non-drunk here, I've been trying to cut back, and I'm not really sure where else is a cool place to vent or ramble on about poo poo. Apparently my dad's melenoma is stage 3 and we're waiting to see what treatment options there are, if my dad decides to go through with it. Still waiting to hear back on results if it spread to his brain, hopefully not. He's already had a triple bypass two years back and still hasn't retired at 78, hopefully he will soon. I know my parents are thinking about selling their house and moving somewhere else. My husband and I are trying to get the gently caress out of pa, not a place we really feel safe, especially after my husband was assaulted at work a few months back now. With the mastriano and oz poo poo going on, it won't get any better. My parents and I were talking about getting a place together, like a duplex or something, either in Maine or NH, wherever I end up getting a job. It would make buying something way easier with their help, but no idea what will happen with any of that. I have no idea how people take in any media at this point, everything I hear about republicans in the us fills me with both such an existential dread and a frothing anger that I just have to tune everything out. The anxiety meds I started awhile back help at least. I just want to get out of PA and pretend like anything outside of New England in the US doesn't exist for the rest of my life.
