The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Man, i sure hope it is. Been almost two weeks now and im reading nothing but horror stories online.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I tend to think those people were always assholes. Pot just brought the "dumb fuck" out. Joe Rogan is a good example

See, people sometimes wrongly attribute creativity to weed. But it can only stimulate an already creative mind. It opens certain windows that one's sober mind could not see. The instincts necessary for survival do not necessarily overlap with the instincts necessary for innovative thought. In the majority of circumstances, it is detrimental to act under THC-induced haze. But there is a small minority of occasions where it truly does enhance one's efficacy. However, while weed can grant a person certain new intuitions, it is up to the sober mind to properly realize these thoughts, or, indeed, to realize whether such thoughts were even worthwhile in the first place. For example, as I am typing this, while high, I imagine that this is some bold, mind-blowing new insight into the subject, but later on, I will see this as just another banal observation about weed.

^Accurate. See also:

Accurate. His claim that they do expand the mind are what I fundamentally disagree with though. Everyone has limitations and hallucinogenics can only tap into what's already there. Usually in a stupid, convoluted way, like you realize you should quit your shitty job because the chair told you so and we're all like connected to our furniture, man.

Meh, it's true that weed won't stimulate your creativity if you don't have any in the first place, but it's a creativity performance enhancer. Whatever shit Lance Armstrong took wouldn't have helped him to win the Tour De France if he was a crummy cyclist in the first place, but it gave him an edge which was enough for him to win.

Its when you are viewing your keyboard as an insect that is also talking back to you AND it isnt freaking you out because it is normal, like on naked lunch by william burroughs that the intake needs capping.

I'm quite amazed that I don't have tinnitus yet. I go to loud concerts constantly, jam with bands in dimly lit basements with amps that are far too loud for the size of the room, and blast music through my headphones at quite loud volumes, but I never have any problems with ringing.

Sometimes when you've killed off too many inner ear hair cells you won't have tinnitus... how's your hearing in general?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i thought dead hair cells are what causes tinnitus.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

i thought dead hair cells are what causes tinnitus.

Yes it means they're dying. But when you've exposed yourself to too much loud shit over the years you don't have many left cuz they're dead, thus no longer able to experience tinnitus.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Ohhhh, but i could have sworn that i read dead hair cells=tinnitus .... and the more dead hair cells you have, the louder the tinnitus will be. Also i heard you can go completely deaf and still have tinnitus.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Yeah I've heard various causes of it, but I hear (get it) that it's from damage to the hair cells most often. So who knows.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

My hearing is fine.

I think it was Matt Stone and Trey Parker that said weed doesn't do shit to enhance your creativity, it just lowers the standards of what you're willing to laugh at.

Hungover as fuck and the wife's at work so just completed mega breakfast cure-all. Coffee, Bloody Mary and scrambled egg concoction with veggies, salami and ham on toast with ajvar and avocado and a bunch of sauces and cheese and awesomeness. Now I'm ready to face the day of sitting about in my comfort wear and slowly becoming drunk again.

 

[Satanstoenail]

It's 25 years today since a mulletted Hetfield appeared on tv to sing a song about the boogeyman and destroy my faith in humanity.

 

[CiG]

Hungover this morning myself, just did some shots with energy drink chasers to clear out some of my mindfunk. Cooked up bubble and squeak with hashbrowns and fried tomato.

It's raining heavily right now and I'm beginning to feel awesome.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I drank some beers and I have been listening to Motörhead. I can't complain.

 

[tagradh]

[Funerary_Doom]
