While it sounded like a cool idea at first, the only impactful thing starlink has done is fucked up earth-based astronomy.

I travel a lot, and far, and having a dongle that gives me mid to decent internet wherever I am would be rad. But it's wildly expensive compared to every other isp, and on top of that, they've always had a requirement that you're tied to a single location. And that defeats the whole fucking purpose. Entirely.

We could have Such Cool Shit, if only some pukes weren't such fuckbags about everything.

Like fucking for real.

Blow up earth based astronomy. Give everyone in the world free, or bus fare cheap, internet. That's rad. That's worthwhile. That's something an advanced civilization would fucking do. Not this bullshit.

    Conversely, most of my encounters of CL were short and to the point and resolved one way or the other in usually an hour. If the people you're dealing with are familiar with how it works, it's two emails, one each way, and maybe a clarification/announcement text.

    It's like, where/when? Maybe another question. Here/time, text number, answer or not.

    If it's more drawn out than that, they're usually a fucking idiot and it's not worth pursuing, as they'll have already sold it to some guy that walked past the sign in the yard by the time they remember how to send an email

    I've found FB to be Harder to use than CL, because they don't give a shit where or what category you're looking for, whereas on CL, those are the two primary filters. Because they matter the most.

    If I'm looking for end tables in florida, I really don't give a fuck about cars in hawaii. FB does not understand this.

    Never thought about scams being paid for, but that makes perfect sense. Or just bots of their own to post them and not even really follow through. I wish more people still used CL, it's so much fucking better

    Good. Enlightening. Fun. Wholesome. I'd say it's flashier and more cerebral than mushrooms. Which aren't necessarily mellow, but the connection of mushrooms feels deeper and more instinctual whereas on acid, the connections you make are ones you're more consciously effecting.

    Worth it, but know your source! Get feedback from other people who have used the same supply. There's a couple analogs that are a real bad time that unscrupulous fuckwads will sell as acid. Oh also it should be cheap. Like, $10 or less a hit. Less, really. Last time I had any, it was $25, I think, for a vial. Which is like 200-400 doses
