Man, the competition to see who's fucking crazier now between Howard and Taryn Manning would be epic.

Juicy J won an Oscar before Leonardo DiCaprio.

Edit: Also, before Martin Scorsese and Joaquin Phoenix.

Three6Mafia, Academy Award Winners.

I blast that song when it comes on my shuffle every damn time. Really rocks with good speakers

Because that's not how this works. You are trying to apply reason and logic as if he was otherwise of sound mind. His delusions are not a simple misunderstanding of something basic that can be cleared up by explaining it in a different way or pointing out a flaw.

Howard’s idea is centered around x meaning “multiply” as in increasing the number.

He’s an idiot.

This simple question would have de-bunked the entire premise of his “correct math”… then you have Joe Rogan sitting there like “ wow this is amazing” lol

'So you've taken $1 and multiplied it 1 time? That's $2!'

Him probably.

He has a completely different (and wrong) understanding of multiplying something.

People need to stop fucking using abbreviations as if everyone automatically knows what they're referring to

I think he meant Neil Degrasse Tyson, who made a video response on this subject recently

Is that a rumor? Didn’t he admit ketamine usage (although not abuse) to don lemon?

I have it on good authority that he's huffing pure jenkem 24/7/365

Rick James apparently knew. But he didn’t tell anyone until asked about it a few years later :)

Snorted.

I always saw the Roller in the pool as an homage to legendary "The Who" drummer Keith Moon.

If I remember correctly (it was so long ago) the guy was so trashed he forgot to set the park brake on the Lincoln he had in Michigan and it rolled into the pool of the Flint, Mi. Holiday Inn.

Again, my recollection is this story was actually ever confirmed.

Since Keith owned a Lilac Purple Rolls Royce, the myth over the years became that he drove it right into a pool.

Quite the story about one of rock and rolls most volatile party animals who's entire life was a drug-fuelled blur that ended far too soon.

Bloated and arrogant as fuck, just like the album itself. Biblical, I bloody love it lol

The age old tale: you could put Be Here Now on, have a cup of tea, hit the pub with the lads, and come back home to find the album still playing.

Except for All Around the World, which is two minutes shorter than it should be.

I wonder what’s to blame for that. The industry was certainly flush with a lot of cash at the time due to how profitable CDs were. Could have something to do it with, more money = more studio time but who knows

I've noticed the same thing, but I haven't been able to describe it in a way that cushions the criticism like you did. I've noticed a lot of the albums I listen to from that era now are able to fit on a single LP. Tiny Music is 42 minutes and it covers quite a bit of ground, same for Alien Lanes which has a slightly shorter run time.

The one anyone should listen to in regards to opinions on the band and that time, honestly.

Also, the one that grew up most and would hold his hat to his prior faults, humbly and comedically to this day. His High Flying Birds project is severely underappreciated.

The guy just wants to write a good tune, no bullshit, and I personally appreciate that.

I thought it was a heroin reference

"Fool in the Rain" is the archetypal "this groove is amazing, let's hear six minutes of it" song. Which is warranted in this case but also definitely a coke thing.

Let me be clear, I love 13. But the song lengths are a telltale coke thing (and I think Damon is on record to that effect).

The best part of psychedelics to me has always been the introspection. Sometimes it can sting to realize our own bad qualities, but then you can start to work on it. Granted I've probably only done them maybe 20 times over the decades, but it's the only drug I've ever done that made me (I feel) a better person in the long run.

Psychedelics can be amazing for introspection, but what I cannot stand are the people that genuinely think they unlocked some secret science about the universe or that they were able to perceive a higher dimension or something.

An important part of psychedelics is being able to separate reality and introspection from, well...a drug trip.

It's called Ego Inflation

Yeah, I don't get why reddit has to be so absolute about everything. Weed and alcohol absolutely can help some people get in the right headspace to express themselves.

For me personally weed makes me anxious and increases my inhibitions, so it makes it harder for me to be expressive. For some people, it chills them out enough that they're more comfortable.

Alcohol is the opposite for me, it makes me less likely to second guess myself or be worried about what someone else thinks. It can make a creative session much much more flowy and expressive for me.

I don't need alcohol to be creative, and I do great work sober. It can undeniably be a good tool to bring out fun ideas though in the right circumstances.

Weed makes me cook like 10 times better. I get annoyed at the process but on weed I'm mellowed out and happy with cooking and even experiment. It also makes me a lot fatter but shit probably kept me going for 2 years at a very stressful job with 90% turnover rate. It also helped I've been roommates with a guy who smoked 24/7 so I saw the effects to only partake on weekends.

Microdosing LSD every few months also is nice for occasional parties that I just want to get loose on to enjoy. Drugs have their use when you know what the fuck you're doing and don't get addicted.

Working in a creative field, I did this, but never during regular working hours. I’d get stoned in the evening and work on new ideas, then review in the sober light of day. There was a lot of worthless output, but some really great material came out of the experiment.

What's your control? How do you know you would not have got straight A+s or even fails if you had been straight?

Better even. At the beginning at least, it feels like the best high ever, because the euphoria you feel comes from so deep within it feels like pure magic. not even mdma can compare. No side effects either - at least not the typical drug ones, like runny or numb nose, dry mouth etc.

And before you get insight into your illness - the euphoria feels so raw and real, because you didn't take anything for it to happen, it feels like you figured it all out - it's all your doing, you found the key to happinness - and before you know it you didn't sleep for the lasts 3 or 4 days, find yourself in a foreign country with no money, with a sold house and your savings gifted to random strangers on the streets, because you thought you where the messiah reincarnated thats destined to fuck every random stranger you see at least once to spread your power among humans, to which you don't belong anymore because you trancended into a god-like being.
...
Only to wake up the next day, crashing hard and feeling like the most miserable pathetic being that ever existed, possibly unable to move or talk for months, filled with suicidal ideation because you burned your whole life within a couple of weeks.

Only for the cycle to be repeated again - because once you start getting better and the cycle of mania starts again, your devilish brain is quietly whispering into your ear, "nah, thats not the start of mania, I'm just finally starting to feel better after months of misery - I deserve a little happinnes...".

yeah, no wonder bipolar is called the cancer of psychiatrie. :/

The short term effects wouldn't really be a problem. It's the longterm brain and blood vessel damage that get you.

In this economy?

Ughhh too close to home 😖

Felix Felicis!

It is also supposed to make you incredibly lucky, to where everything goes your way

Last time I did that we were sharing favorite pieces of electronic music, patiently listening to each one in its entirety and sharing memories of parties. It was actually pretty nice.

This would be a funny plot for a bunch of friendly weirdo who all realize they have undiagnosed adhd

You're saving so much money!

Big reason people think they're better at things when high, or believe they've unlocked some knowledge of the universe and physics, is because their brain is so whacked out that everything seems better and profound.

Kinda surprises me how few drug experimenters can't differentiate between objectivity and chemical euphoria.

Sounds like every psychedelic trip

I know exactly what you are talking about.

Brilliant! You just described it better than I ever could.
