Trump looked pretty weak to me tbh. Can’t even own a gun.

Yeah my mom bought into the narrative. I was telling her what a disaster the debate was and of course she doesn’t want to accept that.

So she latched onto headlines like this one.

I opened lemmy a few days ago to check the news after taking a break for a few days.

I hadn’t even read anything yet and I felt my adrenaline start.

Likely.

We have ‘muscle memory’ in our visual cortex as well. So, we can train ourselves to spot stuff that is normally pretty difficult to spot with practice.

The morels being brown, and fruiting in leaves from last fall, it makes them pretty difficult to see.

Aside from that, they probably have a good idea of what spots to hit because they’ve been hitting those spots for years. As well as a understanding of good conditions to look for them, without having the knowledge of those conditions that I just gave.

And… Mushroom foragers are usually pretty sketchy about giving up their good spots.

Morels have a symbiotic relationship with the plant that they grow with. Most often elm trees.

The colony can live a long time. Depending on the species of morels 100 years, you know like as long as a tree will live. During this time they store nutrients in what is commonly called a truffle, mycologists call that a sclerotia. It’s essentially a knot of mycelium packed full of nutrients, that they will fruit out of once they are separated from their food source, i.e. the tree.

Areas that have been hit by Dutch elm disease end up seeing a lot of morels fruiting, because a lot of trees are dying. Additionally morels like to fruit when the ground temperature is around 50 to 60°. Usually this will be on a south facing hill early in the spring if you are in the northern equator. As well as areas not getting so much direct sunlight later on in the spring.

Aside from that, like all mushrooms they enjoy fruiting after a rainfall. So the best time to look for them is when the ground temperature is 50 to 60°, it’s just rained, and the best place to look for them is in areas with lots of elm trees. Especially elms that are dying from Dutch elm.

Yeah, I made a post up thread about microdosing, and how what we know from animal studies is that it’s a really small amount.

Additionally mushroom gummies being sold online are likely not psilocybin. There’s several other species of mushroom that are psychoactive and have other pharmaceuticals in them. Amanita is one, chaga is another. Both of these are common in mushroom gummies and chocolates that I’ve seen being sold in head shops.

They’re not psilocybin mushrooms. Shipping psilocybin across state lines is absolutely illegal.

If you want to pick my brain about any of this squid feel free to shoot me a direct message. I’m a mushroom nerd and drug nerd. And have some college credits in pharmacology.

I’m also a frog. The frog that enjoys reading your posts.

Most people microdose way to high. What we know from animal studies on microdosing is the the dose for humans should be like 0.5 mg every other day.

That’s equivalent to like 0.1 g of weak cubensies. And a quarter of that for penis envy or other strong cubansies, and then you can half that amount again for stronger species such as pan cyans.

It really doesn’t take much to promote neurogenesis, and dosing everyday will have negative effects on the heart .

Which is why a lot of people start growing them themselves.

Drug is a word with a lot of double speak/propaganda around it. Like, the war on drugs. The meaning of the word drug in that sentence is to be drugged, as in like alcohol drugs you, heroin drugs you, and if we call mushrooms and LSD drugs we are saying that they do what alcohol and heroin do, which is take you away from yourself.

Drugs can also mean medicine. But that’s not what the Nixon administration meant by the word drug when they passed the controlled substances act.

Gutting the state as beefalo said is right but they’ll still have the usual scapegoats (immigrants, dog whistle racism, lgbtq community).

Any of these communities could be hit with state violence, either directly through police action or state sanctioned terrorism such as the proud boys, or indirectly by eroding protections and further marginalization.

Just look at what Texas and Florida are doing to hurt trans people and immigrants. Scale that up to a national level. That sort of stuff is in the project 2025 playbook. For example just being trans they want to make illegal under the pornography act. And charge teachers who talk about the existence of trans people with child sexual assault.

So, hopefully not gas chambers and witch hunts but, it could get pretty bad for a lot of people.

I think you weren’t clear in delineation between leftist and reactionaries.

As well as to extract tax money from the working class. As it makes more economic sense to house and rehabilitate a person then it does to put them in jail. But the jail tends to have more kickbacks for the owner class.

Class warfare scorecard.

Having more homes than you need even ones you never sleep in, legal.

Having zero homes and having to sleep on the streets, illegal.

But the swing voters the person you were replying to is referring to, mostly think that President is basically king.

It’s the low information voters that are the problem, and you guys trying to spin it like this isn’t a big deal isn’t going to help the situation.

The DNC needs to find a different horse. Biden needs to retire and go enjoy that golf he was talking about last night

I hardly saw any mentions of him being hoarse reading through the megathread comments last night.

Stuff like, winning the war against Medicaid, on the other hand, as well as his general just got out of bed demeanor, is absolutely going to erode confidence in him and quite potentially cost progressives the election if they don’t pick a different horse.

Depends on what you mean by religion.

Buddhist monks and nuns shave their heads and don the robes as a ceremonial act of letting go of identity views such as ‘us and them’ and even self and other.

This and not holding onto dogmatic views in general is a big part of the practice and the teachings.

Not saying all Buddhists are perfect by any means. I’ve hung out in enough Buddhist online spaces to come across a lot of dogmatism and people using Buddhism itself as an identity view. Myself included when I wasn’t as far along my own path.

But the intention of the practice is to point these things out and help people to let them go. Not to cling to them.

Aid is a gift. They paid for some of it.

Will Trump pee in a cup first?

I mean if we’re going to start drug testing candidates it’s going to apply to both of them right.

And as far as I know only one of them has incontinence that’s most likely related to stimulant abuse.

It’s media attention, but the intent is to educate about propaganda rather than spread it.

Noise machine being a metaphor for propaganda.

He seems kind of weak to me. He’s not even allowed to own firearms. How can a man who can’t even own guns possibly MAGA?
