I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

This sounds like a joke but I swear it isn’t. Last night, I dreamed of desperate Girl Scouts swarming infrequently-used intersections in golf carts, aggressively blocking in cars stopping at stop signs to demand the purchase of cookies before they will free the unfortunate motorist, because who wants to run over a Girl Scout, seriously
This may be inspired by the three distinct Girl Scout stands by the three exits to my local grocery store, getting increasingly adamant
If you liked the old Livejournal concept, but hate what the Russian owners have done with the place, I recommend trying out Dreamwidth.
It's based on a fork of the original LJ code, but continually developed since then for a much better experience. The people who run the place care about community and they're definitely LGBT+ friendly.

I think I am at this point moderately less comfortable with cannabis use by my friends than I was before I tried it, and I’m not happy about holding that view.

So it’s a hard call. I don’t know what option forces me to give up more- the drug that robs me of every other evening and reduces my intelligence at all times, or the mental illness that bites and harms and attacks me and tells me I shouldn’t try.
But the drug does too. It makes me feel okay with sitting around and not doing anything to improve my life or state of being; as long as I keep using “I’m not okay” as a reason to go do something, I’m moving forward more without it.

I’m one week into not using THC (after using it every other day for a year and a half), so I should almost certainly wait three more weeks before making any decisions to untangle withdrawal effects from baseline things that it was correcting. I hate giving up any of my intelligence and ability to work so, despite its euphoric nature, I’d like to stay off this drug. I don’t want to be trapped in parts of the world relatively friendly to it. But I don’t know if my baseline is okay

I’ve stopped using cannabis because I thought it was having more negative effects on me than positive effects. Either it was stabilizing mood more than I thought or I’m having much worse withdrawal than would be expected for my usage rate. Either it wasn’t causing the headaches I was accusing it of or I’m having them anyway as a withdrawal side effect.
But I’m way more focused, productive, alert, and able to work without it. I am also impatient and grumpy, which isn’t new.
