What do hackers eat anyway? :jester:


I tend to eat beans, ramen and marijuana but I do drink java which might be interesting.


A great many noodles, things with cheese, very spicy things, ditto on the marijuana and coffee/tea.

Lately it's been more or less whatever & stiff black tea. The biggest part of job searching for me has been remembering to eat; there's a lot of sleeping involved & I try not to go directly between that & my laptop.

Honestly that's the most confusing game I ever played. Dragnet explained more than I could grok, I just remember the gangsters v. aliens part.

And the arbitrary grossness of all the caricature-stylized textures & map. Abandoning photorealism while still using advanced GFX really confuses my map-design brain.

I don't why but because you used the words trippy it's conjured up all sorts of questions - Have you ever done any acid / LSD or psychedelic drugs , visual stimuli played an important part in my trips which throws up even more questions.

^No, too afraid to. Even assuming I had some assurance that I wasn't going to do lasting damage, I've never had the sort of safe space I'd want to hallucinate in. I'd never ever want to take that sort of journey in solitude either, too dangerous.

That's a healthy fear , don't ever change.

I might seem like a jerk for asking and I officially left yesterday (again) but are you really blind? I ask because I can't seem to tell up from down and down from up and stormtroopers from alien and so on cause I lost my mind. But... I'd argue as usual marijuana is safe but I see two problems with being blind on cannabis, you have no way of knowing what you taking and honestly I think you'll have a panic attack on it. Without seeing and just going on audio and feel alone, you heart rate will increase, time will slow down whatever that means with the senses you have and I don't picture you having a good time, primarily because visual is less effected sense. Also walking might prove difficult without being able to see, you may lose sense of your where your at because you'll feel sensations of being in a free fall. I didn't even like laying down on it in college with my eyes closed but like I said you get used to it. Sleep improved a little off of it but got worse again but I think seroquel effects sleep, I was taking more then I should and was sleeping good but had heart problems so I cut back and sleep is a problem again.

Anyway like I said you get used to it but I would think stairs would be impossible to navigate without seeing, luckily I had a lot of practice in College cause my classes were on the second floor, probably the easier way to tell if I am high on marijuana which is hard is I am slower on uneven environments like stairs. Or if it was observed by the crab people, I can just flat out miss a step like I did coming from my eye exam which would be the worse it has effected me in years and I don't really know how I didn't fall over, I have weed balance apparently . Unfortunately I probably hurt marijuana legalization cause I am nuts but I am still and have been nuts off weed. Also how would a blind person hallucinate?

auditory hallucinations , also from what I've been told it's rare to be totally blind ( No Light Perception ) , usually there is something , I only know this because my GF worked for Guide Dogs For The Blind and she told me you can't have a guide dog in the UK if you are totally blind - which seems bizarre to me.

Dragnet, I’m really blind. Nothing except extremely bright light. I had an auditory hallucination once, as a kid. Or maybe I dreamed it, not sure. But I have this vivid memory of telling my parents what I heard, wanting to shut it off, and they said it was in my head and to go to sleep. Want to know what the hallucination was? Believe it or not, it was the Married with Children theme song, and there was one of those horror movie noises too. I've had loads of songs in my head, but this seemed so real. Weird huh? :lol: No idea why the brain has weird glitches like that once in a while.

I seem to react badly to lots of things, so if I ever tried marijuana, it would have to be a really low dose to start, with someone I ttrusted. I also get lightheaded enough in everyday life to hate it, especially when I'm very tired or dehydrated or anxious. If I was going to try anything, it would be CBD.

Time slowing down: I had nitrous oxcide at the dentist, and I felt like my head would explode. It messed up my perception so that everything sounded lower pitched, slower I suppose. It wasn't any fun. Oxygen was much better. Another time, I woke up suicidal from some cocktail the doctors used on me. Nobody knew what to do to help, so I bawled my eyes out for 20 minutes or so until the effects wore off. I've never felt such despair in my entire life, but after a few hours, I felt cleansed and centered, I guess because I had released such powerful emotions all at once. Not an experience I'd recommend though.

And that person would totally be me right :-D

Like nothing bad could possibly happen, except we might end up on a secret hidden gov airbase which totally would not be called Columbia from bioshock, I would be freaking out, you wouldn't know in what relation to the room you were in and we would be having a blast!

Complete 10/10 right?

And a low dose, hahahahaha, half of one my cookies will have you become a secret hidden airbase yourself. 1/4 might be okay but honestly you would probably have to cook less then three grams into them to be completely safe.

I've made it to 20,000 words! [Well, mostly. I'm just missing 200 words to make it there, but close enough!]

I am productive, I take offense to that.

I have Ubuntu running on a Desktop and I am about to sit down to a nice game with tea while unknowingly nuking the middle east while doing so.

That is pretty damn productive!
