Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Hippie, I would smoke with you. You wouldn't even recognize me in that context. I'm all pleasant and cheerful and helpful and smiling even.
I've never smoked. What's it like?
I don't know what it's like for people who aren't ADD, but for me it's suddenly easier to be inside my mind. The clutter becomes less of a problem and actually kind of convenient because my brain has time to remember where I tossed everything the last time I had it. Also I have infinitely more tolerance for the stupidity of others. Despite the temporary spike in blood-pressure, my overall blood-pressure is lower when I've been smoking regularly than when I have not.
Also it doesn't bounce around like it's a fucking pinball for a couple hours.
What you're describing is similar to my experience, but I don't have ADD I don't think.

Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids

Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!
"True Names" was a novella by Vernor Vinge where a person's true name on cyberspace was their most precious secret because with a person's true name you could wreak utter havoc and also get the cops on their ass. It's better than anything else someone might have been referencing.
More than a few people around here know my real name, and through that most of my professional information.

Your credit is as good as used for clandestine purchases in seedy business of ill repute.

It also improves my writing and public speaking skills, measurably.

Where do ya'll generally fall on the 'how people to whom you've loaned money spend their money' camp? Like, a gigantic part of me (the 'stop being a dictatorial cunt) part is saying 'you chose to lend them the money, your nose goes no further'. However when I loan someone money so they can 'not starve' and later in the week, before paying me back, they buy candy bars and cigarettes...

Yeah, but I'm worried some people here will do something, too.

That's what I was talking about. We just charged a crate full of dildos from a guy who is probably a terrorist.

Meh.
Now you know not to lend them any more money. But I don't think you have a right to wag your finger at them at this point or anything.

I've never smoked. What's it like?
It makes you dumb and happy and sometimes a little depressed towards the end.
The dumb part is funny, actually. You will make some dumb mistakes but overall it doesn't impact intelligence. However people take it as an excuse not to bother thinking, so they generally seem dumb.
I decided to cool it with the girls. We'll still hang out, but no more fucking.
I hope it's not because of your ex.
I give you a week
It... kind of is. But in a tengential way. The luster wore of precisely because I had that good sex with my ex again. What with the emotions and the caring and tenderness. I want that, and I kept trying for that with the girls but they weren't interested in it at all, so I'm pulling it back before I try something stupid.

Well it makes it hard to think clearly, and you become attracted to shiny/stupid stuff. Also anyone can convince you of almost anything if they know how to do it right.
I once convinced a girl that smoking actually generated discreet experience points, and doing it often enough would cause you to "level up."

Tangential. And that sounds pretty smart to me. Hang in there.

What I find is that it frees me to think really deeply. What this means is that I just retreat into my head, so I'm not the most social smoker in the world, but I enjoy reading while under the influence because it all just feels so much more authentic.

You are most wise, Medopine. Most sagacious.
I don't lend money unless 1) I know when I'm getting it back, in which case I don't care what they spend it on or 2) it's to my best friend who's in hock to me for about $1300 but I really don't care because I'll get it back if and when I need it.

I recently had a friend who had owed me >$750 for over a year pay me back. He'd been on pretty tough times, and it was nice to be validated for believing in him when other people had serious doubts.

Legend of the Seeker comes out today. A TV series produced by the peeps who did Xena about a series of books I have come to loath. Guess I won't be watching that.

Similar deal here. It started out with smaller loans and stuff but then all of a sudden his rent money was stolen and he called me in a panic, so that was like $600 or so, and then he lost his job and had to sell his computer for rent again, so I basically gave him mine and told him he could pay me back later.

No bad WH.

drug store. Alternately walmart.

Shooting range.
Anywhere that sells power-tools. I'd try whichever hardware store in your area gouges the least on price.

Yeah probably in the same aisle as stuff for your feet or something
IDK what you have down there, Fred Meyer? Meijer? Wal-mart?
Meh.
It's cool, I stopped living vicariously through you.
I hope it's not because of your ex.

Probably for the best. Situations like that rarely last without excessive dramamamama.
Everything is significant when italicized.
And shit, I'm missing Life on Mars. iTunes later on I guess.

I'll take this one VC.

And that decision was not to have sex with two women at the same time.
Nice one.
