    TIL the CIA secretly drugged hospital patients, prisoners, and soldiers with LSD as part of MKUltra

  • the video of British soldiers trying to take the hill while tripping ball on acid is so fun

    it's horrible that people had to experience that drug unknowingly

    it's such a mind fuck when you know you did it to yourself and there's a little voice in you reminding you it's a drug

    What's a thinking tool or method that is useful and practical that you've benefitted from and can share?

  • divide and conquer

    in all your different situations

    it's a massive mental force when you apply it and make mundane chores a battle worth victory!

    As ut goes, even though you're always going to have a war to fight make the little battles more rewarding

  • My combat boots lasted 4-years. Is that reasonable given hard use?

  • i have army surplus store Marine combat boots $20. IDK how much use they had before I got them, but it was a bit.

    anyway i have had these boots for 6 years now. i do pretty much all my yard work un them.

    I'd never pass inspection with them but I should be able to get another 5 years at least

  • or churches for donations

    my mother in law has given a lot of produce from her garden to the different places that will take it. Hearing her recall the number of years and the amounts donated makes me happy. Just thinking of that is good medicine

  • Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

    it was the first book I ever read, and I decided to do it on my own. I was 16 and it was the greatest thing I had done for myself up to that point. It was such a big thing for me. I had never read a book front to back before, let alone deciding to do it on my own.

    And so I checked that book out at the library. Went home and started to read the first couple chapters. Got some tomato soup and a grilled cheese and then next thing I know its 2AM and I read that whole book in almost one sitting!!!

    The freedom it gave my mind was a gift I can never reply. Douglass Adams is and always will be one of my favorite humans for what he gave me in that story.

  • When I was young and exposed to these stories, they had a different meaning

    but as I have gotten older, wow those books sure do hit a bullseye but not always for what meaning popular culture puts on them

    1984 to me is not about the government as much as it is about political ideas and opinions. Big Brother only punished the Winston because he broke the rules while being an insider. If he ran away to the proles, he would have been free but nope, he was theirs and they were going to punish him for his deviancy. They prepared for it even.

    An in my opinion, those MAGA dupes are Winston of our age.

    Animal Farm is similar but even more on point of our nature allowing these pigs to rule us with "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others"

    Its good we call cops PIGS, because they are.

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • practice letting off the clutch by going to an empty parking lot and try to release the clutch in 1st gear without stalling and without gas

    then remember that your clutch foot and the gas foot are a 50 / 50 team

    so for all the force you put on one, you need to take from the other

    dont be afraid to use the parking brake on hills to help you get into 1st when your at a stop
