Be there this weekend.
If you feel strongly enough about this - or anything, really - trust your instinct and give yourself permission to act without asking it of strangers. Said sympathetically, I’m not immune to this phenomenon either.

As Canadians, this should alarm us as well. The U.S is our biggest trading partner, we share the largest land border in the world, our political climate is directly impacted by what goes on to the south, and we have our own growing alt-right movement which the CP is pandering to - taking direct inspiration, if not outright manipulation, from the same elements at play in the U.S.
We are not immune to any of this. The deeper the U.S. gets into the shit, the more dire the implications for Canadians become. If Project 2025 comes to be, and our government doesn’t play ball with their approach to international relations, we’re fucked. If we DO play ball, we’re probably also fucked in different ways.
No need to apologize, was just curious - figured folks is gender-neutral as is, never saw an alternate form of it before.
Sincerely, thanks! Didn’t know this was a thing for anyone.
Off-topic, but if you don’t mind me asking, why folx over folks?
There’s something good here - if anyone takes this up leave a link or something for us other folks to check out, too.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about fleshing this out: who/what made the train station? Given it’s a place people stay only for a short amount of time before being whisked off to their afterlife, what does the MC learn staying there for so much longer?
I’d love to write a really good acid western. So far all I have are daydreams about being a badass old west drifter to the music of Spindrift.
Edit: I suppose there’s also what I started when I tried (and failed) NaNoWriMo, which was a horror story about a pathogen that made people deranged killers of a spectacular nature. There was a fight in a stained glass factory, that was kinda cool. Should see if the laptop with the draft still boots…
(If I recall the movie correctly, it was basically The Crazies, but more violent and written before the 2010 version came out [never saw the 1973 version])
There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen, though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.
Which I’m here for - while a lot of people do OK (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.
You may not be into the music and culture - and that’s cool - but you definitely get it.
Thank you for sharing this - sounds like it was a hard, but necessary, thing for you to write. Send your cousin that text man, I’m sure he’d appreciate it.
A lot of Juggalos take the Juggalo Family thing very seriously.
Doesn’t describe all of the fans, but think about it for a sec - think like the biggest stereotype of a Juggalo. Fucked up home life, outcast at school, not well educated, hopeless feeling, more than average chance they’ve been homeless or dangerously close to it, etc. Then offer them some semblance of feeling like they belong to something, as they are, and are part of something like a family.
For a lot of people, that’s powerful fucking stuff, and most of the Juggalos I know are there for it (whether these were their circumstances, or not) and act accordingly.
Fuckin’ love Juggalos. There’s a demo cd or something for The Wraith album that has a track that pretty much sums this stuff up, imo, if I find it I’ll leave the link. Edit: Found it. Strongly recommend anyone who doesn’t quite get this stuff listen: https://youtu.be/N-i8YX0W_88?
Love the worst band in the world, fam.
If nothing else, they’re an inspiration for just doing your own thing artistically. Fuck the critics, just make some shit you’re passionate about, make it available to find its audience, and connect/bring in other folks who want to do the same.
IMO, they created/‘popularized’ an entire genre of music, and some of it’s better than what they put out (for example, I like Twiztid more - but they wouldn’t be what they are if it wasn’t for ICP and Psychopathic Records)
Edit: For those who need a pick me up going into work tomorrow, a little MMFCL for ya.
I likened it to a room with bidirectional portals yesterday - your analogy is much better, and has been stolen for future use.
A little niche, but
Want to second “Talk to the career counseling office” - you are paying for it, and they really want you to get a good job so it can add to your school’s/programs clout. Use it!!

I urge you to consider this before giving up on Lemmy entirely, it’s kind of the beauty of the federated services.
I once saw a nice sweater/some kinda outerwear thing with an excessive amount of pockets or something in a Youtube ad. For whatever reason I had been thinking that would be useful around that time, and did click to learn more.
I didn’t buy it and don’t even remember if it was exactly what I’m describing here, so efficacy was meh. This is the only one that jumps to mind.
The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.
Or, at least it was. Now it’s mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.
Brain - Candied
Tapeworm - Fed
Heads - Crushed
Chicken- Ladied
Take that, atheists 😎
Which one pops to mind first, even if it’s not the most fucked up one you’ve come across? Alternatively, any of the options have a published English translation (though I imagine these’d probably be the tamer of the bunch)?
I for one am super interested.
It is if you focus on the ultimate end state, which is a very serious net human good.
But jesus, the path to making that happen can grind you down. Canyon-like process gaps in some areas, poor integration of the different business lines, every area has been short-staffed since the pandemic with no end in sight, taking on more work without an appropriate allocation of resources, etc.
Have said “Fuck this, I quit” to myself more than once, only to come back because my memory of times where I was involved in something positively life changing for some random human in my country.
The only thing that’s weird to me about this is, why divorce in that case? There’s no law that says you need to live in the same domicile as your spouse. Could’ve lived separately and kept stuff like shared insurance benefits and whatnot.
It’s rare, granted, but it is a thing. Unless they wanted to separate their financial lives entirely and keep getting down, I guess.
