This was easily the worst part of being in rehab. Everybody had horrible fucking taste in music. I got exposed to so many pop artists I had never heard of before, and they all sucked. Especially being in recovery, everybody fucking loved Jelly Roll, I had to listen to so much fucking Jelly Roll
I'm sober nowadays, but psychedelics are the only drugs I can look back fondly on without any reservations. Might do them again some day, just not anytime soon.
Honestly I think it depends on setting and mindset, I can think of a few trips than fundamentally changed who I was as a person, whether that was making me realize that I could be trans, or helping me see how much of a hindrance my own ego was. In the same vain, I can think of many trips where I was easily manipulated by others, or overly sure of my own thought patterns. The difference between these trips was usually the headspace I was taking them in. The life-changing trips, I was tripping just to trip, expecting nothing out of it. The ones that harmed me long term, I was seeking guidance from the drugs when I should have just trusted myself in the first place.
I also wouldn't say ego death would be what you seek for your depression/cynicism, ego death is kinda overrated in psychedelics. Sometimes beautiful, but it's more the sort of thing you work your way up to instead of going for it right from the get go. You can get all the benefits off a trip at lower doses, although I don't really fuck with micro dosing unless you have a specific plan for it.
I hate when these news sites report it as Ecstasy instead of MDMA, because I doubt someone with that much money is taking X pills with God knows what in them when they have access to the real thing. Is funny imagining Musk crushing up some Rick and Morty pressies though

I love my neighborhood cats so much

It's extra upsetting to me because I'd totally pay the extra $8 at the right place. People that actually know how to make a burger good enough to charge the extra $8 for are far and few between. And charging that much for smashburgers is just criminal, they shouldn't even be in that conversation.
Best burger I ever had was from a food truck that just did pub style burgers. Guy grounded his own mixture of Chuck and brisket, bought Tillamook cheese, bought tomatoes from the farmers market, sliced the onions super thin and let them sit in the steam well all day so they were super jammy. Martin's potato rolls too. And he didn't cheap out on the fries, he got battered Simplots which are my favorite fries, VERY expensive though. It was $20 for an 8oz burger and 7oz of fries, which as someone that orders for restaurants, fairly reasonable price for the quality of ingredients he had
Where should I start looking for news? I kinda just lurked here for news for a long time, looking to be more proactive now that I'm not addicted to weed and liquor
I'd be into v necks if I had tiddies, maybe after I start hormones again
This is one I've heard varying opinions on. I'd default to her preferred name, but some trans people are fine with being called their dead name in those types of contexts (stories about before their transition) However if you're not close enough to her to be able to ask that question, I'd default to her chosen name
Cooking just takes practice. I was a chef at one point in my life, but as a kid I once accidentally replaced all the sugar in a brownie recipe with more flour. They tasted about as good as you'd imagine.

Rant about my shit ass housemates
I hate these people so fucking much. I work at a bar, and I'm literally better off staying at the bar after work to stay sober than I am going home. One of these removed was complaining about being sick last week, so half of us (the responsible ones) went to urgent care to get tested for covid/flu. The one that said she was sick DIDN'T GO, and the other asshole that didn't go didn't go because she "doesn't get sick". She obviously got sick. Now I have a sore throat because these assholes couldn't mask or take any precautions.
In other things that are more minor, one of these fuckers keeps stealing my coffee and coffee creamer while I'm at work. And I know I'm going to come home to a sink full of dishes and mugs from using my shit and not even picking up after themselves. Literally can't have anything nice without these people ruining it, AND THEYRE NOT EVEN ON DRUGS ANYMORE SO THEY DONT EVEN HAVE AN EXCUSE!
I'm going to come home and they're going to either be watching fucking Madea or listening to butt rock. Just gonna lock myself in my room and take my anti-psychotic early so I can be at work as long as possible tomorrow
In positive interactions, I was struggling carrying my groceries to the public transit stop yesterday, dropping shit all over the place, and a couple of nice bystanders helped me carry them the rest of the way to the stop, so that made me a little more positive towards people.
My public transit driver today is also very nice, so that's really cool :)
