    A common, incredibly lame thing people wonder about (in particular with redheads) is if the carpet match the drapes.

    In other words, if the color of the hair on their head matches the color of their pubic hair. How that’s a comic in 2026 is beyond me.

    Edit: words starting with the same letter are not necessarily the same





  • Shpongle is a group / collective, not a single dude. It’s mostly Ram and Posford, but there are / were others.

    Posford is kind of a big deal for founding Twisted Records, and for being Hallucinogen, releasing the album Twisted under that name. That album was quite something, and pushed many people (including myself) into that particular music genre. It also defined a lot of its style and tropes.

    The Astrix remix of Divine Moments of Truth is among the most amazing things one can listen to as part of a psychedelic experience.

    Hey, just checking in to say your collages have brought me joy over the last few weeks. They started to stick out for me when scrolling and I’m happy to see you going at it.

    It’s such a contrast to see such a physically composed medium and style in a spot like this, and it feels so different to what I get to work on these days, even though just yesterday, I sculpted some clay. Something just resonates with me.

    Neat!

    Uhm… how? Will you explain how you arrived at extracting a positive message out of this post?

    The poster is apparently MtF and passing, and their mom is recognizing that, so visually, OP should cover themselves, according to their mom’s beliefs. However, the mom can’t acknowledge that, as that would mean acknowledging they’re a woman - which is impossible in their belief system.

    I can’t imagine this tension to be pleasant for the mother in any form or shape, and at best the poster could gain some form of amusement by seeing their own mother struggle in discomfort. I fail to see how that situation is a blow to conservatives, demonstrating the absence of oppression in that particular family.







  • Oh, I do this plenty - walking around, executing 4 different tasks and forgetting items along the way.

    Or, while walking, I assign the items to categories and try to carry them with the correct hand currently associated with their category and order the steps of depositing them so I can complete the collection and delivery task, mixing up categories and item order, thereby instantly and reliably forgetting where I put the required items 90 seconds after I’ve finished my rounds.

    It’s funny to retrace my steps and find an item in a completely unlikely spot since it was at the wrong position in my delivery stack, or because the sensation of the item in my hand made me think it would be something different while I didn’t look at the items any longer after the first, cursory glance.

    There is definitely a mechanism that prevents actual, readily available sensory information to be processed. Things can absolute become, for all intents and purposes, invisible. This can range from full blown flower bouquets put up all around the place that I don’t notice for weeks, or a 4 feet pile of dirty clothes that I amassed somewhere, but that completely vanished from my field of vision, even though I walked past the thing at least 4 times a day until someone mentions it to me and it’s right there, next to my office door. Before we both walked to the pile, I had no idea what they were talking about. Upon seeing it again, I was flabbergasted.

    Nowadays, I have developed coping mechanisms that prevent most of these pitfalls though. It probably surprises neurotypical people that so much planning and energy goes into what should be easy, effortless routine tasks, but it’s simply a different brain. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Plenty of advantages, too, so once I had a handle on the fundamentals of life without completely exhausting myself, it became mostly amusing. The odd lapse does in fact annoy, though.



  • No, the law is not ideal, and yes, I do find the implications questionable as well. Some people could end up not being able to drive for multiple weeks.

    However, that was the trade off that had to be made. People want weed to be legal, which it absolutely should be. Let’s not forget this thread started out with outrage about a guy whon ran over a kid. Now, there are no tests that offer insights into a shorter, more recent time window of consumption, so how are we going to resolve the question if that driver was driving under the influence?

    The law made a compromise, that, according to studies, mostly affects heavy users that consume THC daily, and yes, for those people, the law currently does not represent an ideal resolution. But that doesn’t even apply to all people who smoke or otherwise consume weed, and it can be resolved by the introduction of better tests without rewriting the law while providing the necessary framework for legalization.

    I’d prefer for weed to be legal and not being able to drive for a week than to be arrested, treated like a rapist by cops and then to be dragged to court for the possession of miniscule amounts of THC, which was the previous state.
