I was trying to figure out a problem the other day and realized that if I still remembered how to implement some sort of mathematical concept I learned back in high school I would've been able to do it. Made me want to call up a friend and say something like "it finally happened!"

I like trying to look for the grain of truth behind every joke that I laugh at. This one is pretty funny to me.
I have had similar experiences with the games I play when I'm stoned. I have years of experience with the games I play and feel pretty comfortable with where my realm of expertise is. But when I get high it "enables" (don't really like using this word here, but can't think of a better one) to start making more connections which deepens my understanding.
Playinf music is a much more complicated/difficult task for me than playing a game, but I feel like I have enough technical proficiency with scales and enough theoretical knowledge to start exploring. What I'm lacking is the "glue" to put those things together in practice.
After writing this out I think I'll follow along closely with some tutorials, then revisit them during the weekend to see what kind of differences I experience.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
The technique I'm working on is how to practice/learn. "Learning" how to "play" has always been a challenge for me. I'm curious to get other people's opinions, and I don't expect a universal consensus, but what have been your experiences with playing music while on THC? Recently I've started playing fighting games after taking 20 mg and it has enabled me to be way more conscious of my learning process. I'm curious if anyone has had similar experiences with music. I plan on trying it this weekend.
Because "gas" is an informal and quicker way of saying gasoline that was adopted by the general public for convenience sake.
Language doesn't exist to be technically correct, it exists to facilitate practical conversation. The more you look at it from this perspective the more things will start to make sense.
That feels intuitively correct to me, but I'm not sure if I'd say any language is particularly "easy". Language is complex, complicated and only makes sense in the context of understanding human communication. Although language is also more intuitive than we give it credit for.
I think spoken Japanese is possibly "easier" than spoken English, but written Japanese (outside of digital media) is essentially impossible for me because I don't have Kanji memorized.
I haven't seen the security footage myself, but the article indicates he had an opportunity to tell uniformed officers that he accidentally pulled the alarm but chose not to. It seems like something he did out of frustration, not incompetence. Of course it's impossible to prove intent, but the choice to not report it or explain the situation can't be overlooked. "It's not the crime, it's the cover up."
In a charging affidavit released Wednesday, an investigator said he had reviewed security camera footage and that Bowman can be seen pushing multiple doors that would not open before he looked at the emergency fire alarm pull station "and upon seeing it, he reached out and pulled the fire alarm down."
Bowman can also be seen "jogging" as he exits the building and does not stop to say anything to uniformed officers he passes as he enters the Capitol minutes later, according to the affidavit. It also said the building was evacuated for about 90 minutes before it was reopened after no threat was identified.
For sure! Cory is much more articulate than me. If you have 45 minutes I recommend watching his Defcon keynote
Exactly! I think one of the fun things about growing up is realizing that your personal experience isn't completely unique, and that other people have shared similar experiences. I also don't think it's weird to have the idea that many of the things we enjoy and find funny (like puns and silly sounds) would cross language and cultural boundaries.
