He would have created a much better world, for starters. All he would need to do was go to the hospital once and see what thousands of people are getting charged for a Tylenol and an overnight stay.

I am convinced that if there is a god, it's mostly evil and it gives zero fucks.

Cars aren't watertight.

You haven't met many diehard Honda or Acura owners, I suppose. Just be glad you are on social media, 'cause you likely ruffled some feathers calling an Acura a Honda... (Mostly joking, but I am also kinda not.)

FYI, the Honda Accord Touring is the Honda with nicer upholstery. I have the 2023 Accord Touring and it's in its own class and it's absolutely not an Accura. As it happens, I have been a life-long Honda owner. (I have a Toyota as well, but it rightly is a truck.)

So... Vagina scented cocaine?

It was only two words though so it was an efficient waste of time.

I thought that at first as well. However, and I hope this is the case, it's really interesting to think about how dark a Joker musical could actually get.

Let's just say I am very intrigued about where it could go. Taking a character like the Joker, sticking him in a musical while possibly making a slight crack in the fourth wall could create something super interesting.

Him being slightly aware that he is just a musical character would probably give his character a ton of validation about his unique interpretation of life. That is a scary thought, actually.

If you can control the porn, you control the internet.

So, if you can somehow trigger a revolt in all the NSFW subreddits, you win. Reddit stock will tank before it goes public.

I get confused emotions from this trailer and I believe it's mainly because of the universe swap by Trinity.

Pshh. They just steal all of their ideas from the CEO of Bitcoin.

Body chemistry works on a cadence, so there is that. Dopamine and serotonin (and most neurotransmitters, speaking generally) have their own ebb and flow over the course of the day and likely through the year as well.

Again, there is a mild point to be made here and I am trying to leverage your choice of words with my own personal perspective. (It's a bit redundant, TBH. I just feel the need to elaborate a little more for anyone else reading.)

To my understanding, most psychotropic medications (all classes of drugs designed to alter brain chemistry) are intended to work in concert with our natural cycles. If there is one thing that I know with certainty, is that SRIs, SNRIs, etc., absolutely must be taken on a consistent schedule for this reason, regardless of what a person's state of mind is at any particular moment.

It makes logical sense that psilocybin and other psychedelics that function similar to, or better than, existing antidepressants may need to be taken on a regular basis as well. This is the theory behind microdosing, anyway. (I personally believe it may be more complicated and/or nuanced than what microdosing proponents say, but that is neither here nor there.)

If tripping at a specific time of the year puts you in a good headspace, so be it. Roll with what your beliefs are. (My point is about ensuring that a person should always be in a comfortable state when using psychedelics for self-repair. There is a chance that a person may confront some very uncomfortable things so every little bit helps.)

Still, I like that psychedelics are self-regulating for the most part. Quite honestly, I can only handle a super-deep trip every few months. Other than that, a few grams on the weekends, if my schedule allows, is ok with me.

It has really helped my anxiety, depression and helps keep my alcoholism at bay. (I don't count days, but I haven't had a drink in almost 2 years? Dunno.) Psychedelics are awesome tools for self-reflection, for sure.

Yep. My hometown restricted beer and wine sales and that is exactly what we did. It was a 15min drive instead of what could have been a 5min drive.
