Fuck yes, Carl Sagan. More people need to read Demon Haunted World. I'm happy for his sake that he died before he had to see what we've become as a society, but I didn't think he would have been particularly surprised at how things went down (especially given his cautionary essay about "The Dumbing Down of America" from the same book written in the 80's)

And you can see the wear on the treads. plus the handrail mount in the top left would be at a very inconvenient height if we were looking from the bottom up

Most of these would make pretty great flash tattoos

Edit: after looking at them again, I think that's exactly what they are

According to the Psychonautwiki on shrooms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a "heavy" dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they're fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it's all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you've already had some experience with that particular batch.

I believe that's the point of the original meme. I hesitate to say "whoosh," as you did eventually get to the the same interpretation, but you definitely took the pretty blatant subtext and made it text.

Then again, I still upvoted you

Yeah, that seemed needlessly confusing to me too.

Many, if not most, modern satanists are atheistic satanists. Satan is merely a convenient bit of Judeo-Christian mythology/imagery used to irritate Christians.

While I hesitate to recommend The Satanic Temple due to the actions of one of the founders, their "7 Fundamental Tenets" are a pretty great basis for an atheistic worldview.

Edit: normally, I'd link some resources, but it's late, I'm on mobile, and search engines exist, so... Sorry, not sorry.

Goddamnit, as much as I love this, as a lifelong Giants fan, I hate that these stories make me feel positive feelings about the Dodgers

I'm hearing Kermit doing that look left, look right to "Woop, Woop, that's the sound of the police"

I think it's even money that Trump tries it.

Considering he is already illegally deporting people and illegally trying to revoke birthright citizenship, you are more optimistic than I.

Getting a tech for your first win, especially in a match where your team got crushed is a big deal, especially for a new athlete. I wouldn't call anything about that a participation trophy.

In fact, one of my proudest memories as a HS wrestler was losing by one in a dual meet against our rivals where the coaches asked me to wrestle up two weight classes and my goal was "don't get teched or pinned." I lost, but I did my part and the team won (so the inverse of your sitch). I would say that an individual win and team loss or an individual loss but team win are both worth celebrating. That's one of my favorite things about wrestling is that you can have a good day regardless of who the team is facing or how everyone else does.

The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me
