Luckily the internet exists and allows you to see present day conditions without going to the place yourself!

Hexbears and simping for fascist dictatorships.

Name a more iconic duo

“the thing humans programmed is TOTALLY free of human bias!”

… Said no rational intelligent person who is capable of critical thinking.

Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.

Boss: “can you explain why your random drug test came back positive for thc?”

Me: “yeah, it’s legal and I have a life outside of work. Sorry if you can’t relate, but my personal time is just that. Personal.”

This exchange did not go well from there, but guess who got fired for something first. (hint: not me)

In the same vein, “Holy shit, that WORKED?”

Nor can they Magick-up all their needs, or transmute gold.

*I didn’t ask how close those buildings are, I said “I cast FIREBALL” *

-Megumin, if they played D&D

Honestly, I didn’t question that just because I’ve heard flat-earthers talk about the “ice wall”, so I just assumed it really was from a FE forum or something.

But hey, new world map for a tabletop!

Lol at least she just thinks they’re pretty instead of thinking it’ll balance her energies.

Same. I’ve been using magicearth but I keep my eyes open for any alternative to a popular google app , just so I have a backup if something goes wonky.

No, because large weddings are a waste of money and stress, neither of which I make enough money to afford.

No, I made the ring from sapphire (birth stone) and silver. Jewelry is easier than you might think when you’ve been doing small metalwork for knife handles, pommels, and guards.

One day at work, I found out a work friend actually believed the whole “crystal energy” thing.

Since she was the first person I had ever met who actually admitted to that, I wanted to know more about what her specific beliefs about them were.

At first she was super bubbly about it, on par with her personality. But then as I asked a couple common sense questions about why science doesnt find anything measurable, and first she got hostile and mad that I would dare question another person’s beliefs, but when I explained I was genuinely curious and had no interest in changing her beliefs she just kind of broke down because nobody ever takes her seriously or believes her about her “personal healing journey”

The way I see it, it’s for adults who like pretty rocks, but can’t come to terms with the fact that they like something “childish” (because for some reason a lot of adults call a rock collection cringe or childish or dumb, but clearly they’ve never met a geologist) so instead of having a pretty rock and mineral collection, they have “healing crystals”, and eventually it just becomes kind of like part of their identity the way a religion is.

I will however, 100% giggle at their expense with my wife, later. Because anyone who buys $50 polished selenite drink coaster “charging plate”, and a $200 brass pyramid to “recharge” their $50 “healing quartz wand” while refusing to listen to real science deserves to be giggled at.

Huh.

Last time I saw this, I was on reddit, and it said “from 4chan”

I wonder if I’ll see it say “from lemmy” someday?

You do bring up a valid point.

Shag carpets are acceptable as long as they really tie the room together.

Giant Sloths high as fuck… Would that make the super sloths, or go the opposite way and speed them up?

I agree on all points but the shag carpet.

It’s never a good idea, or cool, unless it’s The Mystery Van.

I will respect your choice to put it places, though.

I hear what you’re saying, and I recognize anyone inside would be safe from being eaten… However, as with an elephant, I wouldn’t want to be woken up in the middle of the night having intruded upon their home.

Pfffff yeah if you don’t use a faday cage the size of a room in the style of Enemy of the State.
