1000% convinced this was some type of op or something. in the suburbs there was [one] empty house lot with trees and we found porn there when i was a kid. its not random / part of a spontaneously originating phenomenon in the traditional sense.
some people are probably like “what” but its an oddly common thing people only realized was oddly common after discussing it online. no explanation without some level of intention for people (kids) to find this stuff makes any sense
yeah. idk exactly the mechanism but its not that hard to imagine a huge stack of unsold magazines or old ones or something + someone getting the idea to pay someone to hide them in wooded areas where kids would find them. sounds a little crazy but its a super common experience
i mean look at the replies (not scientific but interesting)

whoops just found a box of this stuff right by an elementary school (ofc he also himself previously found some in the woods)
yes. for example in my anecdote we found just a page torn out of a magazine. just there. not weather damaged. this spot wasnt concealed enough to provide visual cover, no homeless or weirdos in these suburbs. seeing how universal it is its actually very difficult to explain.

i will explain a dichotomy in terms of two paths for reasoning about psychedelics here that i essentially never see explicated. once you see and understand it you will understand this type of “reasoning” a lot more (i tried to explain this to mike, he never responded). [...]
i just woke up and am having coffee. presumably there will be typos. good morning. did you sleep well. apparently no one is.

anyway when DMT was becoming more popular in our culture, more people were doing it, of course naturally people wanted to discuss it and explain it, right
we are going to characterize the default “type of” explanation as the machine elf explanation. this is more of a meta look at it, + that (if youre familiar with it, if not i’ll explain) is just the perfect example. if youre unfamiliar, lets zoom in on one aspect of the experience

fascinating use of language here (seems to be what theyre going with) because “or” semiotically signals a choice (chicken or steak), but the “until” implies there is no choice in the sense of choosing an outcome, you just have the option of delaying an inevitable endpoint.
the “or” isnt a natural choice of wording here. it actually doesnt even make sense semantically. no one would ever speak this way in real life. “i want u to come to my house next week and call me every day until you do” makes sense. naturally you would intuitively use “and” there
you would never say “come to my house or call me every day until you do”. or a much better example, get your oil changed at 5,000 miles and check it periodically until you do. thats clear. what does “get your oil changed at 5,000 miles or check it periodically until you do” mean?

alRight one more meta note before i get back in the swing of things. i got (obtained) the new spot. it was crazy. if youve been waiting for me to get back to you about something or sent me something, my bad, been kinda out of the office last week, gonna hit that today. also [...]
thinking it would be kinda tight to have a nu-dads / proto-dads group chat on here. does that exist. if not comment here or dm me and ill add you and we can get it going. obviously i have no other insane people IRL to discuss pregnancy + birth in and outs with [...]
gonna walk my dog and then probably delete this tweet as it relates slightly to pErsonAl inFo so hmu and we can get it going and add people slowly, maybe, i guess. also gm.

[warning i have 3 brain cells rn after not sleeping last night, typos etc]. a long time ago i made this thread about some “simple” questions i had about christianity, denominations, things therein. its interesting looking back on it bc now i would never ask these questions [..]
as ive gone deeper (or tried to) into figuring things out, i have a whole new stack of questions that i think generally fall into “sounds dumb but is actually somewhat essential”. as my thing is art making and figuring things out, i dont need to pretend to know anything [...]
so im happy to be the one to ask the questions that may make one seem unlearned, as im sure many other people want to know, or other people who actually know can tell us, or we can spark some interesting discussion. so, just gonna post them in this thread. lets go. theologica.

take it or leave it but this thread is generally the approach i take to answering the question of how we logically know God exists (which i actually think is valid). i think its the best approach because it backs the other person into a corner they cant get out of, usually.
there are some ways people normally try and get out of it, like “well yeah i actually do think the morality of X extreme situation youve painted is subjective” (not true, you can say they dont live like this but you cant really go forward from there, even tho ur correct) [...]
usually what people do is retreat into “well, i Personally think X is evil, yeah. thats my subjective view though”. this is a lot more tedious to power through because it essentially entails pinning them down on the fact that they dont really think its subjective. [...]
