Never looked into the half life but first time it took like 6-7 hours to see the ceiling swirl nicely. I wouldn't assume many days lasting though. The wired framed mech I wanted to see out my 3rd story window at like 4am was beat though, especially when I made it walk back and forth.

But after many times, including after seeing the Teletubbies sun face randomly (actually not even the most awesome hallucination that trip), after 12 hours I was mostly sober.

Other time I recall was about 10 hours after first dropping went to a rave and got home,I saw some fun colours in the shower water, into infinity between the tiles, then yelled a Madeline cartoon cause they left their luggage 3 scenes before they checked in and had it next to them again..then went to bed and was all tired later cause my sleeping schedule was mixed up.

I wouldn't think it last longer than say 12 hours unless other factors are in play.

Edit forgot to say, most of my acid trips I saw no more than stucco ceiling swirling for a hallucination. So don't take these experiences as standard...well maybe the watching that Madeline episode that was stupid continuity but expected for a tv show made for kids.

There's a penny arcade comic that makes a good argument. About printing out your character as a figure or something they have/had. Heck I wonder if it that was part of the reason, unsure if it's still offered.

I always enjoyed the bit of making my character looked like how I preferred though it wouldn't detract me overly if I wanted to play. I play sometimes but not often.

Heh at my age (and growing up with computers since the 90s well earlier but I didn't know cables well) I assume there's a new one next time I blink. Also at my age I don't realize I blink as often as I do. So just shrug buy the cables your devices need and not worry too much. Mean it sucks yeah, I got tons of USB cables I never use anymore, but it's how it goes. Much slower than it used to at least so less issue to complain. If they ever settled on some port that'd work for over 10 years I'd prefer that of course.

It worked in the movie Young Einstein and I trust movies, not really I just wanted to make an amusing but related comment about a lesser well than known movie of my youth. Of course since it's a comic seems semi relevant, it was a part of the movie trailer heh unless my memory is worse than I hope but I don't want to delve there.

I lived in the ass end of Alberta people are fucking idiots in AB. So glad I moved out of there. Seriously think of the worst place in AB if it wasn't where I was then it wasn't that bad of a spot spare a handful of names. If anyone knows Alberta well they can probably guess where that is cause it isn't south and only so many roads north.

Edit thought I'd mention there are exceptions, did have a few good employers and all but the random opinion wasn't in acceptance of helping people it seemed and to me we should life all people up to do better as a society. But not every person was a jerk with asshole opinions even in the remote places. To be fair never asked my employers they were just nice to me ... Huh.

I'm shy, my brother who is many years older than me would tell his friends how I'd yap his head off. They couldn't believe it cause I'd say almost nothing around them.

I see many homeless people in my area, I am more withdrawn but I always think of grabbing a case of water for our hot times to hand out, even if it may not be cool. Sort of too shy to follow through previously but it gets like 30-40C this part of Canada in the summer and we sort of need water to live.

Also why? (You probably said this but wanted to add my words) Unless you want your country to be batted around you need to stand strong. Is it for the best? Maybe not. Can we win? Probably not. But fighting authoritarian despots is needed to be a proper democracy. We can't bow down to fascism.

I'd rather pay more (or way more) and give the middle finger to the US government, fucking despot ruler. We need strong allies now and not our neighbors.

I do understand how some could not afford this luxury and I hope our government would help them through these times, because I think that's part of why I pay taxes to help the people who have less. I only wish it was more inclusive to help us grow as a country and tell others we helps others.

Read the title, Spaceballs! But you were quicker, may the Schwartz be with you.

I think at that point it'd just be Friends / How I met your mother....not that I'd complain...maybe in a Fallout/ Mad Max style depending how the next decades go. Mean Stuart was amusing as a side character but a spin off? Meh....I'd like to be wrong a good sitcom is always welcome.

They did great WH40K Rogue Trader and Pathfinder games, I'll gladly buy their games even if I never get around to finishing them. Still get my money's worth since they're quite long and they usually have good stories and decisions between the combat. Know it sounds like a marketing bit but they feel like the old Baldur's Gate / DnD games (well late 90s early 2000s ones, not the late 80s / early 90s ones heh)

I always liked the line in Dogma about them, don't turn ideas into beliefs, you can change ideas easier than beliefs. Paraphrased and I understand how much it waters down the whole problem but I still thought the idea of it was nice. Listen and be open, you shouldn't always need to be rigid. Though mean there are still ideals I'm rigid about, respect, compassion and such. Though I always thought the idea was you thought about what worked best for everyone not just what people said you should do cause tradition.

And the ending of the first was kinda perfect for cyberpunk, hit the high then toppled down lower than they ever dreamed. New characters to learn the same lesson but in a fun and entertaining way of course.

No one ever wins but the corporations in cyberpunk. Umm yeah just cyberpunk.

Always felt Donnie Brasco was somewhat underappreciated for the mob movies, and I definitely (okay maybe pretty sure, it's been a few decades now) remember him from that with the line 'you work for me now'. For some reason that one stuck with me. Seemed entertaining in his roles.

But I like cheese...

Well I was more just meaning when I was growing up and this is going back to the late 80s - 90s. I saw a lot more British television than other European TV (in fact none of other) so didn't exactly have much else to compare it to in the EU that was. From that and knowing they offered some good services such as post secondary education, healthcare etc it felt like a nicer fit for my ideas. Plus the amount of British words we tended to use.

Okay not a direct comparison but if I was playing a Paradox grand strategy game and the neighbor country started getting all fascist / authoritarian, I would want to group with like minded nations for protection. Hey we're already in a defense treaty with them why not make it a more inclusive type agreement? Personally I always felt culturally closer to the UK (yes I know not there anymore) than the US and thought many of our policies mirrored the US due to location and held us back.

I looked it up after and yes it was I'm not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.

One day I'll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don't think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.

Edit also don't mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction...he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it's cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.

if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It'd make a better world.

There's a Big Finish Dr Who audio story, well two I think, where the bad guy is named Nimrod. A scientist in their stories. So not everyone thought the name was an insult....or maybe they did, huh, but figure if the name gets to be known as a main guy the Doctor clashes with they can't really think he's a complete fool.

Though I always remember the cartoons first.

Must be great to have your feelings acknowledged by acting like a dick rather than understanding anything remotely in an empathetic way. Not a believer but thought Jesus preached helping not acting like an asshole. Oddly went to a few religious schools but probably ones they didnt consider correct. Jesus had good ideas, but maybe you needed some leeway is all (okay that's sort of my Dogma movie take but I don't think it works). For the record not directed at who I'm replying to just adding to commentary.

Like whenever did Jesus say act like a complete asshole to someone? I'd like one of those types to answer that once and say how their beliefs aren't acting like a complete asshole to. It's infuriating. Have some freaking compassion.

Sorry this whole religious bit makes me rant because it's awful. Love thy neighbor is not hard to understand.
