altering the subject a bit, OPEC is working on throwing a wrench into the works. i'd suggest not letting them alter our course by re-electing the group that has no desire/experience/answers in solving anything. *

kinda like...if the boat is sinking locate the ones helping to bail and those who aren't - and toss the R̶e̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶a̶n̶s̶ slackers overboard and keep the actual help.

rather have folks that try, than all those that cry, cry, cry.

You're welcome. I figured Mordhaus would have put a few Dethklok vids up. What a slacker

Sorry, I put that in the header description but was a slacker and didn't tag it when I posted.
My apologies; I hope you had earbuds in.

In the words of principal Strickland, "SLACKERS!"

I have fan boys? Awesome!!

Fan boys... bring me beer!

hmmm... still waiting. Clearly if I do, they are slackers.

I had you on ignore for a while, but you do have the occasional gem in the midst of the nonsense. Besides, you derail threads to such an extent that ignoring you is pointless.

It's kinda like a black hole. Even if I personally couldn't see you, I'd still observe the effect.

Believe it or not, I don't actually have a personal problem with you. Very occasionally, you're funny or interesting. But you seem to revel in disruption just for the sake of it, and I still don't know if you genuinely don't get that you communicate in a way that makes you difficult to understand or if it's a deliberate affectation designed to make you appear intellectual. Pretty sure I'm not alone in this.

That's what I paid at Costco for a Snap-On (I went and looked at it, it's not the same) I was just making a half-assed attempt to discredit your line of reasoning since it seemed to be based on the existence of the pressure washer...

Which can be explained away:

1)He borrowed it.
2)He rented it.
3)He stole it from the guy who made the complaint to the police.
4)He bought it on Craigslist from the guy who stole it from the guy who made the complaint to the police.
5)It's cheaper than you think it is.
6)He's got lots of money, but his kid has to pay for his own damn car because there's no way the kid's getting his irresponsible, slacker, dopehead hands on dad's classic Camaro, his 20" lifted Sierra, AND ESPECIALLY NOT his mom's Lexus LS600h.

Fuck yes. Two of my favoritist slacker movies in the world mentioned in a positive light: dust in the wind or gamed system. I can live with either.

What do you do?
I am a Field Engineer. It's a rational thinking job so there are no Democrats. That's why I like the sift. I get to truly find out how hateful the left really are. MSNBC does have contempt for conservatives. But here on the sift I get to personally feel the hatred and see the raciest left firsthand.


Liberals like to think outside the box of reality. Like being professors, artists, dancers, abortionists. Open minded.


We just see the world from a different prospective.



>> ^KnivesOut:

I'll tell my lawyer and professor friends that they need to get real jobs. Fucking slackers. Oh yeah, what do you do for a living? Just for future reference...>> ^bobknight33:
AT least Romney had a job. Can't say that for Obama.
>> ^EvilDeathBee:
>> ^bobknight33:
I will only vote for Romney because Obama has done such a dismal job that I can not afford another 4 years.
Its all about jobs and having some money left over after payday.
>> ^EvilDeathBee:
>> ^bobknight33:
Smart enough not to be fooled to vote for that POS Obama.
but stupid enough (exceedingly, so) to vote for Mitt Romney. Or will you be choosing a third party candidate?


Oh yeah, and the Romney's really going to help you out there...

I wasn't sure if you were serious or not, but I'll bite -

Everyone was a slacker at some point. When you were a young child you did very little to help the family. When you did start to have responsibility you didn't understand why at first and only did the things because you were told to.
Its a gradual change into a person who understands that certain things have to be taken care of for, your own sake and, the sake of your family. To think someones life is automatically fucked up because they are a slacker is disgenuine.

Are you implying that between say 13-23 you didn't too stupid irresponsible things that would make others worry about you for your own selfish pleasure? I doubt anyone could deny they were more selfish than not during part of their life.

I am not saying drugs are required to make drastic realizations. If your daily routine has little or no changes you will always think in the same basic pattern and it takes some external event to change this. It could be a new job, a new love, a death etc. Taking certain drugs lets you control when these changes in perception occur rather than being a slave to fate.

No where in my original reply did I say anyone (myself or others) had to depend on drugs to make decisions. I stated two basic ideas - drugs can help you to make changes and that everyone should experience them at least once in their life. I also didn't say that the single time the person did them would create some epic change.

Something happened to you that caused a strong sensitivity to what I said. Maybe it was me telling you what to do, maybe someone you knew used drugs and became a loser, maybe my speech pattern reminds you of someone bad. I can't say what it is but if your strong reaction is genuine then I am sorry to dig up such anger.

Not all drugs are created equally. I would like you to view this chart http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Drug_danger_and_dependence.svg Notice that LSD has a lower dependency than pretty much everything, including nicotine and caffeine.
Secondly the average dosage is between 60 and 180 MICROgrams. Do you understand how small that is? It is essentially impossible for it to be adulterated. You could mix it with drain cleaner and and the amount you are ingesting would not cause damage.
The industry accepted lethal dose is 15,000 micrograms, which would be FIFTEEN PAGES of paper you would have to ingest. I don't think you could fit that all in your mouth

I am not convincing you personally to take it but be aware that a significant scientific breakthroughs in business/technology/science have taken place while the person was on some form of drugs. You should also be aware that most artists (both audio and physical) use drugs to create the inspiration for the works you enjoy.
One time I figured out why fire on the head of a match is the shape that it is and how the flame is constructed. Months later I explained how I perceived it to someone qualified and they said even though I lacked the proper technical terms I had gotten it right. I was very happy about that.

Like I said previously, not all drugs are created equally. LSD does not make you feel anything extra, it only enhances what you are already seeing or feeling. It gives you the ability to super focus on details you overlooked previously or zoom out and take a large amount of data in at once then process it.

I think my reply will be lost on you but hopefully someone else is reading this and will gain something from it. If it means anything to you I have taken acid only twice in the last two years.


>> ^schlub:

Since when is not deciding to being a slacker a revelation? Your life/lives must be pretty fucked up if you depend on hallucinogenics to make your life decisions for you. This notion that drugs expand your mind or make you see things more clearly is complete and utter bullshit.
>> ^braschlosan:
Because of LSD my little brother had the revelation to start doing well in his final year of high school and try to make his parents life easier.
Then while in his first year of college he had the revelation about many parts of life and decided to study hard and play hard too. Now he has fun on the weekends and is getting great grades. The combination of the two has given him infinite self esteem.
During the summer break after his first year of college he had another LSD revelation about taking drugs. Now he rarely takes them (in high school he was a big pothead and E-Tard), when he does take them its planned out ahead of time for a special event. He's not even 20 yet and has a "wise" outlook on just about everything.
I have had similar life altering changes because of LSD that I'd rather not share here,
I agree with Enoch.
>> ^enoch:
for those who may be a tad uptight hallucinagenics should be mandatory.
if only once in your lifetime.
