So, what you’re saying is you’re stuck in freshman year in college mentality.
Gotcha. Most people do get beyond this…odd you’re stuck there given your enlightenment and all. 🤪
So, what you’re saying is you’re stuck in freshman year in college mentality.What is your experience with weed. Not asking about usages, but with what you experience different while on it. My experience is that it turns me into a head. That is a state I don’t much care for. I experience drug induced thinking as free for all association, chains of thought that go farther and farther away from what is right in front of me,
The centipede was happ, quite until the toad in fun, asked which leg goes after which………
What tells you that weed helps mental health rather than adding to the pleasure of becoming sicker.
The addiction to thinking can lead to the conclusion that thinking isn’t such a good thing. Be mindful of not assuming that the alternative is mindless oblivion.
One thing I see as a possible benefit to a psychedelic drug experience that alter perception is the first hand realization that ordinary awareness is not the only possible state and that the ordinary tendency to equate mystical experiences as simple madness might be a mistake. But trying through drugs alone to repeat peek states of conscious awareness might best not be attempted via repeated use. All of the purported experiences people can have on drugs may be accessible via the hero’s journey. They say, seek and you will find.
Oh. I think the best treatment for that might be a perhaps long slow process of reliving the traumas on which that misery depends, but psychedelics might help with that. We lack physicians who have healed themselves so mental illness is a big problem.I wasn't talking about me when I said that. I just know it helps a lot of people control their ADHD, for example.
Are you speaking for most people? At freshman college age and far younger the thought like that in your video had long become old hat and well before I had ever heard of drugs. By the way, I could never get through a few minutes of Animal House. I like a very different kind of humor.So, what you’re saying is you’re stuck in freshman year in college mentality.

I think it would be an excellent problem to attempt to address by attempting to program objectivity into an AI that draws rational boundaries.The court simple needs to redraw the map themselves since the lawmakers refuse to. And THAT is how it should work.

Misery? I don't think ADHD is about misery. AFAIK it's a chemical imbalance, like a lot of other mental health issues. Some of those other issues might be about misery, like depression for example.Oh.

But I am curious as to what your opinions are if you have used weed. It’s ok if you prefer not to say.
Most interesting. Thanks for sharing. As I said I don't use it because it makes it possible for me to think intensily and thought is fear. I also become aware of tension in my muscles and have a desire to tire them out via exercise. I would love to try Rolfing but I don't know anybody who does it.Misery?

Anyway, I don't mind talking about my weed use, which is mostly recreational. I say mostly because I do experience anxiety from time to time, and weed can help with that sometimes, and other times make it worse, depending on the strain and dosage.
Other than that, I do it for fun when chilling at home or in social situations. A pleasant side effect is that it makes it easier for me to connect with my kids on a childlike level, which is nice.
"Thought is fear" seems pretty extreme.Most interesting. Thanks for sharing. As I said I don't use it because it makes it possible for me to think intensily and thought is fear.

The process is still playing out. Now if the group of judges adopts a map that SCOTUS doesn’t overturn and then Alabama refuses to comply then yes I expect sanctions to be imposed on the appropriate parties in Alabama.A lot of people in this thread by not advocating punishing Alabama officials IMO are taking light Republican refusal to follow the law when it comes to voting rights.
Taking voting rights for granted is one of the ways the Shelby case which required pre-clearance for changes was lost. Alito claiming racism is over, so we don't need these kinds of rules for states with previous bad histories is also a culprit. Republicans in general have the position racism is over to the extent we don't need to be concerned about voting rights.
I find it perplexing in a country that isn't allegedly racist this can happen.
That process playing out IMO includes the stall before the 2024 elections. But we will see.The process is still playing out.

The current step of the court drawing a map because the state failed to create on that complied is a sanction in itself.
I agree with the sentiment, but do we really want the courts to be able to mandate the legislator pass certain legislation under the threat of arrest? Having a special master redraw the maps I think is the proper way of handling it.No consequences for telling the Fed court to get bent? Jim Crow fans telling judges they don't need to follow the law should have been answered with Fed Marshals showing up and arresting people. Repugs sure like to violate their oaths of office, pity all that happens is a collection of shrugs most times.
I hope the court appointed people can accomplish their jobs without more redneck obstruction, or worse.
That's coming all the way from Republican leadership. Make no mistake. That's one less Pub vote, when they only have a small majority anyway.Alabama once again appealing to SCOTUS claiming their newly redrawn map should remain, despite them not following the court's orders. Republicans in Alabama IMO are attempting to stall in order to miss the deadline for the 2024 election. I bet SCOTUS entertains this stall tactic while pretending to want their order followed. Time for DOJ to step in.
Alabama to ask US Supreme Court to keep Republican-drawn electoral map
Alabama's Republican-backed congressional map illegally dilutes Black residents' voting power and must be redrawn, a panel of three federal judges ruled on Tuesday, a decision that the state said it would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.www.reuters.com
I have explained what I mean by that many times here but then nothing I use words to explain can really be explained using them. The finger pointing at the moon is to the moon. The idea and the difficulty of expressing it is not unique to me. It is a fundamental mystery the resolution to which requires a transition in conscious awareness, an ah ha moment."Thought is fear" seems pretty extreme.
Special master draws the map, Alabama appeals through all courts before SCOTUS. Lots of time goes by.I agree with the sentiment, but do we really want the courts to be able to mandate the legislator pass certain legislation under the threat of arrest?

Allowing them to stall for years, is bullshit, though.
I agree that's the plan. That's a problem with the courts being hyper partisan hacks.Special master draws the map, Alabama appeals through all courts before SCOTUS. Lots of time goes by.
SCOTUS finally says change the maps or we will arrest people. Alabama: sorry SCOTUS we don't have time before the 2024 election. We will implement after.
I'm just sayin'
