The show is absolutely jam-packed with double meaning, metaphors, subtext, and scenes representing something deeper and its an absolute treasure-trove to go through and piece together the deeper meaning.

I also adore how the show doesn't immediately jump to confirming it like "Oh! This happened and this happened, which means this!" like other shows do. It actually leaves you to sit and think about it, the subtle nods themselves are the only true confirmations.

Even past Jax being trans, which a good chunk of the community still somehow is like "What?? No!" Even if you look past Goose confirming it herself, and GLITCH.

It almost feels like its telling to the current landscape of media and depth in its viewers. There's loads of people who got it, but there's also loads of people who are only looking at the surface.

Which is fine! Its an absolutely amazing show even if you only focus on the main plot or whats on screen or readily apparent. I've always adored the concept of "Stuck in the digital world" and this show has a really unique premise behind it.

But I mean... come on, subtext has existed in media for fucking centuries, millennia now if you look at poems and literature, and with everything feeling spoonfed nowadays with no real hunting for meaning, to finally have a show with some subtext and layers, only to be shit on by the people who were crying for that same depth in media?

...All this aside, I know "Enjoy the show" regardless and I do, and I enjoy the fandom, creations, apparent fanons, and community all the same, but it can be frustrating at times when it feels like I can't conversate with people in the community because they apparently watched an entirely different show.

I also know this post has been made like, 1000 times over now.

Hey y'all. HPPD afflicted for about 7 years now.

Psychedelic history of 5 LSD trips (3 of which were mixed with cannabis), and one mushroom trip. Tons of cannabis use.

I experience visual snow, tracers, floaters, and after images most frequently. Dpdr is still a common feeling for me though this has subsided too.

I've tried a number of different things, such as the classic anecdotal medications such as Lamotrigine, Mirtazapine, etc. None of which really seemed to help. Mindful meditation has been the most effective along with time.

So the theory: We know that psychedelics (lysergamides especially) bind incredibly well to our bodies 5HT2 serotonin receptors, so much so that they will actually hold almost a "priority pass" when taking psychedelics.

My wording may be sloppy as I don't know the specific pharmacokinetic properties at the receptor level specifically, buuuut.. what if our receptors now have difficulties in processing and handling serotonin after psychedelics? Maybe not in terms of them being "fried" or anything catastrophic like that but dampened?

I'm working on an album cover right now for a project I'm working on and I'm trying to think of little easter eggs and things to add to it.

If I were to put like, Skabs' tag on the side of a house in the album artwork, do y'all think that would be acceptable since its technically work done on public property? Or would that be considered as Skabs likeness/intellectual work?

I think this tag works?

Anywho, 1993 Honda Prelude S, know the 4th gen, love the 4th gen, hate the common problems, such as the AC.

Back when I first started trying to diagnose and fix it I ended up resoldering the joints at the rear plug of the AC control panel and that got the AC button to work along with others.

When the car is on and I hit the A/C button, I hear it engage and idle up to compensate for the compressor, but the air still blows warm. Last I checked the refrigerant it was at a good level.

It also has the problem of not switching vents but I just want it to blow cold and hopefully not make me overheat lol. These 90° weeks in Texas are brutal without AC and im kind of lost in terms of A/C systems in cars.

Advice?
