well i dont know whats been going on with my gram but now it seems to be in the country so hopefully il have it in the morning 

Bwahahah! Is everybody else getting that advertisement for fullcontactskydiving.com when they click ColtDan's link to the Tycho vid above? What a thing to encounter on MXE during a lazy Sunday afternoon online: an ad for mixed martial arts skydiving. I was about to click "skip ad," but I had to find out if it was a joke. Don't get me wrong. If a mysterious benefactor swooped into my life with a bag of money and said "Hey psood0nym, how 'bout I pay for us to gear up and pound the shit out of each other as we hurtle towards the ground from 14,000 feet in the air?" I'd admittedly say "Hell yes!" But I really can't watch that without my jaw dropping open and thinking "this is what happens in an affluent society when kinda dumb dudes have way too much free time." MMA skydiving is a thing ... just surreal.
From the website:
Who thinks "I need to work on core conditioning -- maybe burning 120 gallons of gas lifting me and my sky-sparing partner into the stratosphere, then breaking out of crippling leg holds while we scream towards terra firma might be the way to get those super sleek abs that have been evading me."? The linked-to music is pleasant, though. Just didn't expect THAT!
Then the question is why pay to have such satire play as an advertisement before a video of Tycho's "A Walk." Who is the prank on? The people who were duped or those that could've given the cash that went into the production of such a ruse to a charity or something else more productive? Whether satire or not, the product remains that of dudes with too much money and free time.I think the video is a prank/satire.
new Eu ban ruined my day. hope it does not get restricted elsewhere.![]()
I think the video is a prank/satire.
There's websites that say it is a joke, I've found. But there's also a hell of a lot of people who don't know if it's a joke or not if you read the comments section of the youtube video, with many insisting it's real. It's a debacle the way it's been pulled off anyway you slice it. It's especially confusing on MXE! I've got NoScript running, but I find myself opening other browsers it's not installed on just to gain website functionality much of the time.What? no it isn't lol
Download ad blocker, those annoying ads pissed me off for ages until i realized you could block them
And it has definitely reminded me that these kind of drugs can be powerful tools for inner learning and self transformation, but only if we treat them as such. Apologies if this is an obvious point, but it is one that I always seem to forget - less is more. Let's see if I can stick to this in the future myself.
Is more poetic and philosophical than an actual experience. But... man... I know i will never experience that again. I think that it what leaves me sad.
I'm not going to touch this again until like the next solstice.
This! There's nothing quite like this substance is there? When you consider the array of other substances that are all similar, but have their own streak of uniqueness. Nothing is quite like mxe imho.
