The last time I tripped my balls off, I stayed in a bathroom at some rave I was at and read the graffitti on the stall walls for hours.

It wasn't a high point, I'll say that.
That sounds pretty similar to my one and only experience with any drug stronger than weed. My at-the-time boyfriend and roommate talked me into trying ecstasy. I spent the entire night lying in bed alone, wide awake, but with no desire whatsoever to get up. On the rare occasion that a coherent thought made it through the fog that was my mind, it ran something along the lines of, "How long does this crap last? I want my brain back." It was a party at our apartment. Soon after it kicked in, I realized that if someone got hurt or anything went wrong, I was just way too much of a drooling idiot to do anything about it. Someone could bleed to death at my feet and I'd probably just stare at them with a vague feeling that something's wrong. It scared the shit out of me. I've never tried any hard drug again, and have absolutely no desire to. Even weed stopped being fun. Since then, the only mind-altering substance I've cared for is alcohol. Even when I'm retarded drunk, I at least feel like I can think in a reasonably straight line. Losing all control of my mental faculties was just not cool.

Are you sure that was actually ecstasy?

[TheEschaton]

Not gonna lie - I miss it sometimes.

Granted my last time tripping balls was way more fun than yours sounds... however I bet you were engrossed at the time.

I miss it, a lot. I spoke about that last trip from an outsider's perspective, how I can now see how it might not have been a highlight to them, but yeah. I had many, many good trips. Haven't had a drink in a year, couldn't care less. Haven't had any drugs in 13 years, miss it every day.

Not gonna lie, if I still lived in Buffalo and knew the people I knew back then, I'd probably be a complete mess (in a different way than I currently am). Part of the reason I would never live there again.

I know it looks odd, but those signs actually are legit. Sometimes you get people who order a gazillion things through the drive-thru, or something blows up and a certain order is going to take too long. You ask them to pull ahead and park, and you walk their order out to them through the front door when it's ready. If those parking spots are full, traffic gets ugly.

[AnticorRifling]

I'm hoping that he was just pointing out that drive-thru and parking shouldn't be on the same sign. If someone really needs the concept of why that sign might actually be needed explained to them then chances are they are the cause of your order taking too long.

[Atlanteax]

I'm hoping that he was just pointing out that drive-thru and parking shouldn't be on the same sign.

This.

Besides, I nearly always opt to walk inside for my order ... I am able to get it "to go" faster, than waiting in the drive-thru.

[Asha]

I like to lock myself out of my car and stand in line among the cars in the drive thru, then get refused service because I'm not in a car, then plead with anyone to let me in their car just so I can order some food then all manner of high jinx follows usually.

A friend and I went out and saw the play 'bad seed' tonight.. I'm pretty twisted and shit... but... the ending just... left me going..what the holy fuck?
Quite possibly one of the most morbid things I've seen in a while and even though I've seen several plays before.. I finally realized the major difference in watching people do something sick on stage compared to just seeing it in a movie... I have a feeling i'm going to wake up later and still be asking myself what the fuck I witnessed...
for some reference.. I'm not phased at gore threads, random internet shit.. movies with brains and body parts flying all over the place etc..
..

I dunno if this would be spoiler..i don't know how many of you plan to even see this if it comes near you or anyone puts it on..

watching a mother (yes i know they're actors and still alive at the end of the play) feed her murdering sociopath daughter an O/d amount of sleeping pills, then carry her body off to bed, then go into the piano room to shoot herself off stage... ... yeah "Blew my mind today"

[Kuyuk]

I put an ad on craigslist for a chef/exec sous chef, and I get this:



FYI, there is no such rank as an "executive sous chef." That would be a Chef de Cuisine.

-

The brigade system of ranking (as established by Escoffier, inventor of the restaurant as we know it) is as follows:

Executive Chef (desk job, pencil pusher, menu control and financial responsibilities)
Chef de Cuisine (kitchen manager)
Head Chef (lead sous chef) / Pastry Chef (lead baker)
Sous Chef(s) (shift leader)
Line Cooks & Bakers
Garde Manger & Prep Cooks
Dishwashers

-

In a smaller restaurant: it is simplified to

Chef
Sous Chef & Pastry Chef
Line Cooks
Garde Manger
Dishwashers

-

Just thought you might want to know what you're talking about.

I presume he doesn't want the job..

[Kuyuk]

And then I Get this one:


Is this the owner that calls management gay and pregnant. Thats called workplace harassment and I have plenty of real trial lawyers that will prove that in a court of law. They were all smart enough to pass the bar exam. I could pass it right now. Thats how much smarter I am if you are who I think you are. Your an amateur bored hosewife. To anyone this doesn't apply to I appologize

Yeah, that is a very disturbing play. I actually played the part of the daughter in that, in a college production.

Maybe you have to see it, to get the morbidity? If my daughter was a murdering sociopath and I didn't want to see her go to jail, I might poison her so she dies peacefully, and then shoot myself. It doesn't sound unreasonable, it actually sounds plausible.

Am I a sick person for thinking that?

I know right!!! It's like the chicken and the egg. Did our taste buds evolve to crave the shit that grows on this earth or did an omniscient, all powerful deity just up and say: BEHOLD - "Vitamin C for your ATP" and then there was magic orange circles for everyone. On the dirty dirty ground. What is that dirt doing down there?! That's a complicated question for a different day.

As a non-religious man who has learned about religion its actually the secular gamer in me that wonders if there isn’t some GM who created it.

In some ways I wish there was some intelligence to it and in other ways the randomness of it is appealing.

I guess reveling in the mystery and the pontification of it all is what I enjoy while munching on a nicely chilled fresh and juicy orange slice. :)

Some great Mind Blowing responses from a recent Ask Me Anything with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

"Photons have no ticking time at all, which means, as far as they are concerned, they are absorbed the instant they are emitted, even if the distance traveled is across the universe itself."

"1) The fact that an electron has no known size -- it's smaller than the smallest measurement we have ever made of anything.

2) That Quarks come only in pairs: If you try to separate two of them, the energy you sink into the system to accomplish this feat is exactly the energy to spontaneously create two more quarks - one to partner with each of those you pulled apart.

3) That the space-time structure inside a rotating black hole does not preclude the existence of an entire other universe.
MindBlown x 3"

(When asked about his favorite fact about the Universe) - "That is will never end. That it's on a one way trip of expansion. Something that many find to be philosophically unsettling. My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer."

This 40 year old guy that I've had multiple class with just announced that he is running for State Senate. He's failed 3 of the 4 classes that I'm in, but has apparently already been raising funds and seems like he's completely serious about this. I forgot to mention that he's an electric scooter salesman and very likely mentally challenged. I'm at a complete loss of words.

Could explain a few things in my life.

[Liagala]

One of the guys that works here pays child support for a kid he has in NYC. He's worked here for 3 years, and every couple months, I get a "reminder letter" from the agency in New York, containing a whole bunch of useless explanation about how child support works, and a few pages of coupons that I'm supposed to send with the check every week. NYC gets the money from this guy electronically - we haven't cut an actual paper check for a garnishment in years. So every couple months, I open the letter, shake my head, and shred it. Today, I got another of those letters. This one had a little blue piece of paper included that said in order to save money, the state of New York would no longer be sending these reminder letters - if you want coupons to send with checks, print them from this website.

That's when it occurred to me... exactly how much money has the state of New York been wasting on 8-page letters, remittance coupons, postage, and everything else associated with this foolishness? It's got to be a disgusting amount. For what? How many places these days still do all their payroll tasks on paper? Even when they did, how many places were unable to photocopy their own coupons to send? Whose bright idea was it to include the history of child support with every one of these reminders anyway? The amount of bureaucratic bullshit in the country is astounding.

Here's the original link where I found it.

http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/why-peta-upset-over-gold-cape-144100799.html



The largest item of clothing ever made from spider silk. This gold cape was a four-year project involving more than one million spiders. And not just any spiders. These guys are a rare species from Madagascar with golden filaments that produce the blindingly saffron product you see here.

This fashion statement is currently on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Actually, spider silk is a hot commodity in the art world right now. Last year, another, slightly less ambitious spider silk garment -- an 11-foot scarf -- was exhibited in museums from New York to London.

Part of the fascination with the process comes from the craftsmanship. The scarf alone required a commitment from 70 people with the ability to work on machinery not really employed since the 19th century in France. But Madagascar spider silk also has some otherworldly properties. For instance, it's virtually weightless so it doesn't feel like anything. It's as close as you'll get to an invisibility cloak at this point. Amazingly, the material is also stronger than Kevlar. There's actually been research into developing a synthetic version for the military.

* Check out the World Wildlife Fund's Top 2012 Endangered Species

Don't put it past the fashion world either. Both the cape and the scarf-which Vogue covered when it went on display-were designed by the textile team of Godley and Peers, who run an operation in Madagascar. While they're not looking to mass produce the product they have become darlings of fashion insiders hunting for new types of textural inspiration.

Here's essentially how the process works, according to The Guardian : " The spider is clamped by a sheet of wood with a half-moon aperture for its abdomen. In each hand-powered contraption are 24 females (they are always female). Handlers pull and spool strands from each spider's multiple spinnerets. A gossamer thread is made from 96 twisted strands."

After the whole thing is over, the spiders are released making the it seem fairly humane.

Guess who's not going for it? PETA. Shine reached out to get the animal advocacy group's feedback on the art world's latest darling.

In an emailed statement, PETA spokesperson Nicole Deo compared the process to "factory farming" and called out the museum for supporting it.

"[Using] silk that the spiders would normally have used to catch insects to feed themselves is as bizarre and unappealing as it is anti-environmental," writes Deo, who didn't say whether the organization are plans to protest the museum.

PETA folks can take comfort in the fact that this cape won't be showing up at H&M anytime soon. Four years for one loose-fitting top doesn't bode well for the next big fashion fad .

Took a jungian psycho test.

Your type is: ESTJ

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

Careers

executive, ceo, supervisor, business consultant, manager, strategist, financial planner, business person, office manager, public relations manager, international business specialist, business analyst, management consultant, operations manager, loan officer, lawyer, marketing, sports management, government employee, investment banker

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS

[TheEschaton]

Pretty sure they make up the job things to make you feel good about yourself. I'm an INTJ, and needless to say, they don't tell you the negatives so much of personality types.

[4a6c1]

Yeah. At the bottom of all the nice positive traits were some bad things I already knew about myself. And I also noticed none of those categories gave career options of: serial killer, couch potatoe, mommies basement boy, peeping tom etc. Although on the main page there is a globalized 5 traits test and some of the last results to that have no career attached and say things like: enjoys disorder, not emotional at all. Yikes!

SO YOU'RE INTJ (like I know what that means). I'm totally going to go look at that and stalk you for about five minutes.

data analyst, scientist, researcher, engineer, financial planner, statistician, office worker, government employee, lab technician, nuclear engineer, office manager, biomedical engineer, account manager, ceo, investment banker, analyst, academic, systems analyst, pharmacy technician, network admin, genetics researcher, research assistant, strategist

Nicely done. Given that I am a writer, that seems to fit. LOL, I've done or do almost all of these. How reckless of me. Now I want to be a massage therapist! :)

However, it is hard to take these tests when all my personalities fight to answer the questions....

:master:

Big 5 personality test:

Extroversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun.

Emotional Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Accommodation results were high which suggests you are overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development (martyr complex).

Inquisitiveness results were high which suggests you are very intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

[Liagala]

ESTP - "Promotor". Action! When present, things begin to happen. Fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 4.3% of total population.

Extroverted (E) 54.17% Introverted (I) 45.83%
Sensing (S) 66.67% Intuitive (N) 33.33%
Thinking (T) 58.33% Feeling (F) 41.67%

Traits:
content, emotionally stable, outgoing, social, group oriented, finisher, does not like to be alone, open, decisive, likes external praise, likes to be center of attention, frequently joking, adjusts easily, likes crowds, self confident, neutral moods, good at getting people to have fun, disorganized, messy, talented at presentation, not easily annoyed, does not like to be alone, enjoys crude jokes, likes to lead, likes sports, more likely to come off as masculine, risk taker, tends to dominate conversations, fearless, can handle criticism, hard to discourage

I hate sports, I am pretty easily annoyed, and I enjoy the hell out of being alone. The rest of it ranges from definitely me, to more-or-less me. The bit about liking external praise and wanting to be the center of attention definitely has me pegged. The competitive thing from the initial summary too - so I guess that means not only do I need to win, but I then need everyone else to tell me how awesome I was when I won? Wow. That sounds pretty self-centered and shitty, actually. True, but still shitty.


Just for giggles, I looked up ISFP, since the E/I and T/F were reasonably close to 50% for me. Holy hell, talk about a miserable person. Traits:

disorganized, timid, prone to discouragement, socially uncomfortable, does not like leadership, suggestible, not self confident, not aggressive, lower energy, fearful, anxious, easily distracted, prone to discontentment, guarded, not confrontational, prone to longing for a stabilizing relationship, can be overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings, easily disturbed, fears drawing attention to self, prone to confusion, private, second guesses self, prone to quitting, underachiever, fears rejection in relationships, emotionally moody, prone to sadness, dislikes change, indecisive, modest, doubting, prone to laziness

I'm not trying to be a bitch but are you fucking kidding me? Stay off the roof"

He's like, slurring an apology to me and I'm like, dude - it's a safety issue, why are you climbing on the goddamn roof. Tell your buddies, that if I ever catch them again I'm going to get their stupid asses arrested for disorderly conduct.

Going off the evidence you provided I would say this is an example of a slow and gradual decline over a period of 15 years. I took about 3 weeks to go from a full pack and slightly more to half a pack.

[Bobmuhthol]

3 weeks is 3 weeks longer than cold turkey.

[Asha]

A Dr told my buddy he could have died going cold turkey from the Diazepam he had been taking for years and years, telling him to ween himself off them by taking less and less each day instead.

Cold turkey means kicking it immediately with no exceptions.
And a delicious sandwich filling.

[Ryvicke]

3 weeks is 3 weeks longer than cold turkey.

I understand that you're unfamiliar with the terminology. I smoked for 10 years and was probably actively "quitting" for at least 3. As a smoker you tend to smoke with lots of other people: at your job, at the bars, in fancy cars, etc.

Here's a conversation that I've had at least 50 times:

Me: want to have a smoke?
Smoker: oh I didn't tell you? I quit!
Me: oh nice! (subtext: I hate you for doing what I cannot) What did you use?

Now Bob, I understand you're probably confused here, cause you're a virgin. When I say "what did you use?" I want to know what helped them quit. Was it Chantix? The patch? Fucking lasers? Hypnosis?

Smoker: nothing! I quit cold turkey.

Fin.

Smokers don't give a fuck if you "cut back" or went from a full pack to half a pack or did anything else. I don't care how long it took them to quit, just that they quit. Cutting back doesn't help you quit, it saves you money and (if we're being fanciful) let's you think maybe you're not killing yourself as fast. In every conversation I ever had with a smoker about quitting, no one ever said "I'm going to just keep cutting back and back and back until finally I'm done!" CAUSE YOUR BODY WANTS THAT FUCKING CRACK.

[Tgo01]

Fucking lasers?

Going from a full pack to slightly more than a half a pack in 3 weeks is the direct opposite of going "cold turkey". Bob's 100% correct, which leaves you to be 100% incorrect.

I agree with Bob and PB. Cold turkey is not only about not using patches etc - it's about going from full tilt to nothing.

Did "going cold turkey" exist before patches/gum? It certainly did, cause my dad went cold turkey in the 80s.

I am a social smoker like Drayal. If I'm out, I might smoke half a pack in a day. And then go a month without a cigarette. I also used to smoke during finals.

Also, I love convenience fees. You're saving them the money of printing shit on paper, and paying someone to process it, but it's a good way to make money because people will pay it to not have to mail it.

That's such BS to charge for that.. then call it a convenience fee.

This is how I pay just about every bill, even one-off bills to individuals (those via POP). And with a credit union it's all free. In fact, they actually give me a kick back if I use online banking, in the form of a 5+% interest rate on the first $500 in each of my accounts with them. With 2 accounts that works out to about $40 a year.

And yes, it is BS to try to charge you for something that saves them money. Dumb business practice if you ask me; pretty short sighted.

I was a cold turkey quitter. Smoked for many years and quit when I became pregnant with my daughter. I do not recommend it. I still want one pretty often. I think people who use gum or pills have it much easier. If I could do it again at a different time in my life, I would have used something. Maybe the gum.

[Gnome Rage]

My plan for quitting is to get to a point where I use the electronic cigarettes (I have them, but they're not working for whatever stupid reason. They won't charge) and then you can step the nicotine down using different cartridges, until you get to no nicotine. Then I'll work on breaking the hand to mouth movement, which is hard because I have serious oral/manual fixation issues.

Probably wont even try until I'm done with my program, it's driving me crazy lately :(

With 2 accounts that works out to about $40 a year.

And yes, it is BS to try to charge you for something that saves them money. Dumb business practice if you ask me; pretty short sighted.

I pay almost all my bills personally and professionally through online billpay. There is only one vendor I actually have to get into Quickbooks to cut a check for.

How... how... how does one get to their junior year in college and write like this...

Based off what my group and I learn while working with the 3rd and 4th graders at (name) Elementary school was that majority of the (town) community population are extremely affected by the low graduation rates especially for minority students. This community faces a high lack of motivation within the students to want to continue their education. This can be cause by various reasons such as teen pregnancy, gang related, helping to support their families who are struggling financially, lack of motivation within oneself, and much more. However, students who attend schools in the (town) area are obviously highly uneducated on how importance of education is in regarding to become successful in life.


(I took out incriminating information!!!!)

[Bhaalizmo]

I'm thinking someone was drunk or high doing homework.

[Gnome Rage]

No, she writes like that all the time.

[Bhaalizmo]

... maybe she's drunk or high all the time. Is she russian?

[Some Rogue]

Is she perhaps a Miss Teen USA contestant from South Carolina?

No. She speaks/writes in ebonics.

The most common mistake people would expect from that paragraph is effected instead of affects, but she nailed it.

I think she is just fucking with your mind.

No but that certainly sounds like a legit tactic to me!

[Gnome Rage]

I can teach anyone the secret of the claw game. I've only won 40+ times in the past 2 years. nbd.

I need to know the secret. The bar down the street from me has an adult claw game full of porno and toys. My friend won a penis pump ... I've only managed to win a pair of sunglasses.

[Gnome Rage]

The secret can only be revealed in person.

Every time.

You wanna know the secret too, eh?

[Androidpk]

It's a pretty powerful secret, 6 more wins today, including bozo the clown and a pair of spiky vulvas.

[Stanley Burrell]

That claw dipping pattern is just like slot machines: Punch through the object and steal poker chips, sunglasses and penis pumps.

[Stanley Burrell]

It blew my mind that I said poker chips. Now I want to punch through something that contains poker chips. Maybe a penis pump.

[WRoss]

This didn't really blow my mind, but it had me really confused.

I just IMed you to ask if you remembered

[diethx]

Haha Drew

[WRoss]

I almost forgot about this. Yesterday, someone got me really good. I still have yet to figure out how they did it. I in an area with a ton of people in the 25-40 range. I know most everyone by face, but not by name. Anyways, yesterday as I was walking to the store, I see someone, and he comes up and says, "Hey Ross, nice to see you again. Have a nice day!" I thought it was a little strange but I thought that maybe I had met him before. The rest of the day, 9 people I know that I've never met walked up to me and said something similar to that. I really hope that was someones April Fool's joke or else I did something really fucked up to get everyone to know me.

[Androidpk]

They must have all seen your porno.

Guy who won the mega millions must look just like Ross.

32 ounce thick glass mug, frozen, filled to the brim with dos equis amber with a slice of lime on the rim. Paired with a torta cubana and the obligatory chips and salsa. Heaven.

If you've never had it and don't care to look it up, the torta cubana consists of ham, chorizo, chicken, steak, refried beans, avacado, jalapenos, queso, lettuce, and a fried egg. As if the cold dos equis wasn't already a joygasm. Omnomnomnom.

[Bhaalizmo]

Woah.

I saw a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club come stumbling all bloody-faced out of the bathroom at my favorite bar tonite. He hit the floor, got up and hit the floor again, got up and ran out the door. According to the bartender, some rival gang member assaulted him in the bathroom and kicked him in the face. Wow. I knew they had their HQ in town but in 6 or 7 years of going to that the bar that's the first time I've seen one of em wearing the insignia. I think I need a new bar.

My wife got a letter from a parent (she is student teaching) because she marked her son's answer wrong on a test. It was worth one (1) point. A letter over 1 point... and, the answer was wrong.

What the fuck, parents? How ridiculous.

She should correct any grammar errors in the letter with a red pen and send it back.

It goes by shade of brown (starting in the lighter shades), since you're a cinnamon bear you're safe for awhile as long as you don't yell VAMANOS!!

Coding a shader took many lines, you should thank me.
