As I said, either you get it or you don't.

... actually, having read the article, the tingling sensation described has been pretty trivial to actively induce, in my experience. One of the possible physical reactions to meditation. Can get that stuff to go off with a few deliberate breaths and some attention, these days. Would make it distinct from the involuntary brain orgasm "meridian" response, but yeah.

Definitely get the autonomous reaction from certain sorts of music, though (This 'un can hit it pretty easily, ferex), if I'm in the right sort of mood. S'just... pretty easy to latch on to, magnify, and flat induce. Latter took a few years to get down, heh.

... this, I think. And it's just... static? Sounds like what you're talking about, anyway. Maybe.

Ah, first bit ninja'd.

the ability to put the same chemical into everybody, after it has gone through clinical trials.

Hnn... disregarding the rest of the conversation, clinical trials -- in the states, at least -- are not quite as rigorous (or corruption proof, it seems some days) as I'd prefer, m'self. Might not mean much, in practice.

Just... just be sure to check with other people that have gone through that evaluation period thing. Especially those that didn't make it through. Some employers are pretty scuzzy about that sort of thing, from what I understand. Otherwise, congrats!

E: In personal happy, trip to store netted a fairly significant (for my habits, anyway. It'll probably last... well, at least two or three weeks. I think.) amount of sweet things. Whee~

M. Wind Scorpion gave a good rundown.

I can't decide if the world's gone mad or if it's always been mad and we're just better able to realize that now.

Fairly sure the overall (at least in the western world ) percentage of that-crap to population has been steadily reducing. There's just a lot more of us, we're just a lot better at noticing it, and a goddamn monkeyfrakking hell of a lot better of vomiting that shit all over national news. Ratings!

Finally giving up on my great-grandmother's bathmat ;_;

Just want to say... if that bathmat has lasted three (four?) generations, you totes need to go find whoever made it and procure another one. And maybe tell the rest of us where it came from >_>

At the risk of being naive, I totally interpreted that as part of Levi violently beating Eren, but arranged suggestively for maximum shipping capacity. But... hrmmmm. You may have a point.

Ehn... I could see that interpretation...

...if it weren't for one of them not wearing pants. That bare leg was kinda' blatant

_{Also those were totes the anime "two dudes buggering" faces. I don't think I've ever seen it in any other context, ha.}

... or, at least, if you are going to drink soda, stick to the off brands and never buy anything but 2 liters (barring the odd occurrence of a sale knocking down the price/ounce of the canned or smaller bottled stuff). Larger volume stuff itself is honestly a ripoff (it takes pennies to make that stuff, the markup is incredible ) too, but at least it's not as bad of a ripoff. If the addicts among you can't muster the will to wean off the drug, y'might consider alternatives to supplement the stuff. I've found the, like, lemonade mixes and whatnot to be a pretty good value for sweet drinks and seem to take some of the bite off of weaning off. S'been like 2 bucks for 4-6 gallons worth (5-4 cent/ounce -- iirc, soda trends towards 8-6 cent/ounce, where I'm at.), so far, so long as you can provide the water and the containers to mix it in. If you're going to be an addict, might as well try to minimize the pocketbook hurt, I say.

But yeah. Haven't had any caffeine since something like February. Still the occasional non-caffeinated soda (I likes me my rootbeer), but doin' pretty good~
