Indeed, other pearls of wisdom

• do not trip when your neighbours are having a huge domestic violence incident

• do not watch 8 hours of simpsons/futurama commentaries. For the next 8 hours after that I had David X Cohen and Matt Groening narrating everything I was doing in my house.

• test your acid. 5 bromo dragonfly (dob) when you’re thinking you’re getting LSD is no fun.

Microdosing is great, both for cognitive stuff, pattern recognition and for deep analytical work.

As well for mood and well being.

I’ve made my employer seven figures, in direct revenue (and I do detailed analytical work reviewing tens of millions of records)

And thats blasted to my tits (not every day).

It’s not my fault I work better high.

It was the first and last I tripped at work.

And yes it was a horrible waste. My computer screen was one big magic eye with text turning into strange forms (little dragons).

I used to work the phones as well. I have no idea how I managed to tech support tripping balls.

I remember going to work for a large Australian company tripping balls.

My boss was like you’ve been glued to your computer all day bud, good work.

Did everything I could to avoid looking him the eye so he wouldn’t see my massively dilated eyes.

Ahhhh those were the day.

I worked at a dot com and although I was fairly young at the time I was promoted quickly to management (we had several thousand employees at the time).

When it all came falling down and we were all looking at jobs at the sametime I was being asked by proespective employers “was John Smith really General Manager of customer service”?

The vast majority were customer service monkeys padding the fuck out of their resumes.

That said hate the game not the player. I always nodded and said yes.

Fuck em if they can’t do their own verification work.

There were no good episodes of Seinfeld.

Fixed

There is no good in Seinfeld

(genocide support paedophile that he is)

Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I’d argue your wrong.

Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I’ve been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.

I mean film is a family hobby. My dad spent forever building his dream sound system,

Sounds like my mother. She was a film maker, worked on a lot of big films.

So upset she decided to get rid of 60 years of speakers and gear to the local hifi shop instead of her son (and we were by no means estranged or with some weird broken relationship ie I’m leaching off of her).

Just discovered it was all gone when I spent 3 months watching her die (too late for recriminations when the cancer has adled their brain).

and I built my “fuck yeah it works” system out of his discards (I have to recognize hardly anyone falls into great sound systems the way I did but by crab god, I’m a musician if I’m going to treat anything it’s my ears). I got a decent working 5.1 system of 25 years old cones and tweeters,

Yup. Took her speaker shopping and had to watch her grimace cause all I could afford was some shitty Yamaha kit. Thanks Ma. You could have given your son something out of your vast dragons hoard. Maybe the Tanoy studio monitors that you had sitting in the spare room???

just spent some money a few years back to buy a severely outdated receiver because the one I had (have technically. still gotta clean it up and take down to the relic shoppe) was made before hdmi and was having difficulty communicating with modern devices over optical audio.

Got her outdated circa 2000, albeit, $3k Yamaha receiver because she had it as her editing den system (and she passed before she could break the room down).

We had goddam electrostatic speakers, 1 metre wide for godsake. I thought I’d be passing them down to my son and so on. But noooo she had to sell them along with the valve amps and solid state amps she built.

Sigh.

Goddam parents.

My mate’s ZX Spectrums had no “information superhighway” connection.

Used a 086 Amstrad to connect to BBS’s

That was the proto-internet that I miss even now.
