LMAO. nothing says “I’m innocent and it’s all a bunch of lies” quite as unconvincingly as dropping out of your race before the story even gets published. https://www.wweek.com/news/state/20...ce-of-ww-story/ HashtagGirlboss fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Feb 10, 2020 |

Blind Rasputin posted:Yeah. It’s honestly just been a really weird past few days with the wife since our housing hunt brought all this to light. I actually appreciate that preparation home kit website you all posted, and we will definitely get on that. It’s just.. I deal in healthcare and kind of always are thinking in risk/benefit and odds/chances kinds of ways towards informed medical decision making and this is just such a weird bet to try to work through mentally. Do you take the bet that this catastrophic thing has a 70% chance of not happening in your lifetime? Or do you just have to resign yourself to the idea that a 30% chance of being wrong and that at some point, anytime, in your life it could all just immediately go full apocalypse is just too much to risk? At the same time, the thought of moving out to loving Bend of all places and basically retiring at the age of 38, my wife and I both leaving our jobs for other ones, and my kids (nearly teenagers) having to start all over.. all over this significant but remote chance of catastrophe seems... excessive. Really excessive. Because of some extended family things simply leaving Oregon all together just isn’t an option. I mean we are not weird paranoid people, my wife and I, we are just trying to think this through. And it’s a hard one.

I'm trying to brainstorm ideas for the goon PNW post-apocalypse gang. I'm thinking we could start by wearing flannel shirts, jeans, and gas masks and just add more accessories from there. Obviously we'll need firearms to stay competitive but I think we should use axes as much as possible. Eventually it's going to get to the point that people join the forums just so they can get into our axe gang, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. https://twitter.com/Oregonian/status/1233586130987122689

Freakazoid_ posted:Does psilocybin have legit theraputic benefits? Or is this meant to facilitate legal testing? Speaking from personal experience, undoubtedly. As with cannabis, being scheduled precludes pretty much any researched claim to benefits, making the question sort of a catch 22. If you want objective research to prove or disprove efficacy, that research has to be allowed in the first place.

Participants, staff, and community observers rated participant moods, attitudes, and behaviors throughout the study. High-dose psilocybin produced large decreases in clinician- and self-rated measures of depressed mood and anxiety, along with increases in quality of life, life meaning, and optimism, and decreases in death anxiety. At 6-month follow-up, these changes were sustained, with about 80% of participants continuing to show clinically significant decreases in depressed mood and anxiety. Study participants attributed improvements in attitudes about life/self, mood, relationships, and spirituality to the high-dose experience, with >80% endorsing moderately or greater increased well-being/life satisfaction, which was further supported by community observer ratings showing corresponding changes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robins...-and-addiction/ quote:Magic Mushrooms As Medicine?

In these trying times it appears the Mercury is making GBS threads its pants and asking for donations to stay open. I like the Merc well enough as far as local publications go and I think the city would be worse for it's loss but for some reason I thought it had some rich guy behind it as a vanity project so the donation thing is kind of eye-rolley. Maybe I'm wrong I don't know.

I think there's a zero percent chance they actually do poo poo about greyhound, they're too busy trying to eminent domain the property of a thriving local business because they want to build a water plant in that exact spot and no other Grants Pass politics is an amazingly glorious dumpster fire and I guess now there are two of us who know that firsthand, lol

Seriously, this place is so close to perfect in so many regards. Except poo poo like that voters can't approve a really modest bond measure to future proof school infrastructure for 2 generations, but they have no problem building a new police station. It's really hard to say that it's entirely coincidence that this Greyhound posturing isn't backed up by proximity of the new HQ to the stop. That it centers around a bus stop hosted by an Indian owned convenience store in an sea of whiteness is also kind of funny.

Oh man, I had no idea that was even there, beyond the actual greyhound building closing. I thought it stopped at Walmart or something now. (I don't go that far up 6th street much here in 2020) E: wait 7th street? Or that car is going the wrong direction? gently caress
