Yeah, similar for me. A big party we were all going to was starting around the same time the splashdown was happening and a majority were stopped, watching on their phones. Groups huddled in the parking lot, buzzing conversations. I was pretty surprised by it.

Does any part of this suggest otherwise?

I used to be completely sober all the way through my 30s. I tried things later and they really helped me see life from different angles. I didn't try shrooms until I felt I was ready. They are easily one of the best things that ever happened to me. I would not suggest trying them unless you feel comfortable, are in a very familiar environment, and you have a trustworthy, caring friend to keep you company.

I thought there were others like this, too. I would expect one named Kairos to explain why this doesn't apply.

Chinatown holds up so well to modern viewing. Incredible film. When I first watched it I had already heard that last line used over and over as a joke in general culture. Hearing that line for the first time in context is like a punch to the gut. One of the best endings ever.

Any relationship where one partner is fixing the mental health of the other seems dubious, even with magical thinking.

It's like purposefully introducing tech debt into the code.

That's exactly what this post is saying.

It's not a wild thing for people to misunderstand the difference between egoism and egotism. You're castigating the community over the misunderstanding of a single letter between a word that is common and one that is niche, and in a way that screams of your own ego.

Ironically, amusingly, your post drips of egotism.

I actually really like Bookie.

Asking Lost to give you answers is the reason none of us talk about Lost.

The trick to enjoyable work isn't finding something you enjoy, it's finding something you get lost in. Being mentally aware helps greatly with this. Makes it so that I don't feel exhausted at the end of a work day.
