The only thing that’s weird to me about this is, why divorce in that case? There’s no law that says you need to live in the same domicile as your spouse. Could’ve lived separately and kept stuff like shared insurance benefits and whatnot.

It’s rare, granted, but it is a thing. Unless they wanted to separate their financial lives entirely and keep getting down, I guess.

No need to apologize, was just curious - figured folks is gender-neutral as is, never saw an alternate form of it before.

Sincerely, thanks! Didn’t know this was a thing for anyone.

Off-topic, but if you don’t mind me asking, why folx over folks?

There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen, though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.

Which I’m here for - while a lot of people do OK (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.

You may not be into the music and culture - and that’s cool - but you definitely get it.

Thank you for sharing this - sounds like it was a hard, but necessary, thing for you to write. Send your cousin that text man, I’m sure he’d appreciate it.

A lot of Juggalos take the Juggalo Family thing very seriously.

Doesn’t describe all of the fans, but think about it for a sec - think like the biggest stereotype of a Juggalo. Fucked up home life, outcast at school, not well educated, hopeless feeling, more than average chance they’ve been homeless or dangerously close to it, etc. Then offer them some semblance of feeling like they belong to something, as they are, and are part of something like a family.

For a lot of people, that’s powerful fucking stuff, and most of the Juggalos I know are there for it (whether these were their circumstances, or not) and act accordingly.

Fuckin’ love Juggalos. There’s a demo cd or something for The Wraith album that has a track that pretty much sums this stuff up, imo, if I find it I’ll leave the link. Edit: Found it. Strongly recommend anyone who doesn’t quite get this stuff listen: https://youtu.be/N-i8YX0W_88?

Love the worst band in the world, fam.

If nothing else, they’re an inspiration for just doing your own thing artistically. Fuck the critics, just make some shit you’re passionate about, make it available to find its audience, and connect/bring in other folks who want to do the same.

IMO, they created/‘popularized’ an entire genre of music, and some of it’s better than what they put out (for example, I like Twiztid more - but they wouldn’t be what they are if it wasn’t for ICP and Psychopathic Records)

Edit: For those who need a pick me up going into work tomorrow, a little MMFCL for ya.

Ah, understood. Thanks!

Lol, fair. I’m still not well versed in inter-service ActivityPub stuff. I don’t know if you’ll see this or see any of the parent comments here on Lemmy.

Contingency plans if IA loses the appeal about the library stuff, or in general has something happen that puts IA’s collections at risk of being lost. Any thoughts on the matter? Also cool if it’s not something you want to talk about, I know you don’t speak for the whole org.

How do we archive the archive?

@textfiles@mastodon.archive.org Thoughts?

🥳

I don’t have one particular highlight, I just love being here. Good admins, good people, good discussions, people are pretty chill. What’s not to like?

sh.it.heads 4 lyfe, yo!

Brain - Candied
Tapeworm - Fed
Heads - Crushed
Chicken- Ladied

Take that, atheists 😎

I mean, kinda, yeah.

I agree - figuring out how to take advantage of time dilation for therapeutic purposes would be very cool, and potentially quite useful. This is kind of what I hope comes from renewed research into psychedelics, being able to pick out the mechanisms for all the different effects and developing techniques to cherrypick just a few with therapeutic benefit with a much reduced risk of freak out. We may already be there re:time dilation alone with TCMS or something, idk.

But real talk - which do you see getting funded for wider use first, 5 year retreat in an hour, or psychic prison?

(Actually, saying it at loud it might be even odds, depending on the price tag folks can assign to the retreat)

Man, fuck society’s outdated edicts - as long as you’re able to feed yourself, you’re doing amazing in my book.

What now? A lot of options still on the table, but here’s something to think about: one element of the whole fatherhood thing is passing down the knowledge you’ve gathered from all of this for your child’s benefit/enrichment. But you aren’t going to have kids, which is fine. So - are there any other means to share your knowledge/experience with the next generation? Preferably in meatspace?

Ugh, yep. Right around the time the agora system was getting fleshed out, too, so things just naturally took a bit longer.

Related - “What’s a Beehaw?” - newer sh.it.heads, probably.

Godspeed, f.ukwad.

(Hmm…not as cute as sh.it.head. I still kinda like it, though. Excellent domain name choice in general.)

The Dude, as per usual, abides.

Thank you again for all you do.

Does anyone else feel strangely old reading this comment, despite the fact that sh.itjust.works has only been around for less than a year?

“I was there, when the wall came down and the hexbears came”

(Obligatory “sh.it.heads for life”; “up with sh.it.heads, down with shitheads”; and so on)

Nope. sh.it.heads (or sh.itheads, if you’re swine)
