Arcus

So, last night I was just jamming with my brother and hitting the bong, something I do on a regular basis. But after I smoked a second bowl, a couple minutes later I began to feel light-headed. It just continued to get worse until I eventually straight up passed out and fell over. I was still barely conscious but very delirious as my brother tried helping me up. I then passed out again. About a minute after I first passed out, I started to regain vision and full consciousness. I've been smoking weed for years, but have never passed out. I have been recovering from a cold, but I've been smoking all throughout it. Was this just a severe green out or may have it of been some other health problem?

Occasionally, if I skip a meal or two, I will normally get the stomach growling and feelings of emptiness, but at the same time, it feels like I'm full in the sense that when I take a bite of food and swallow, it takes effort and isn't really enjoyable, just like if you had consumed a large meal.

It isn't that big of a deal, but it can make eating a chore and leave me with an empty stomach all evening. Any hypotheses or solutions?

Okay, so I have Comcast with a decent router and a fine modem. These all worked fined for a really long time, but then when we moved the router/modem, it just started working horrible in multiple ways. When we moved it to a different part of the house, a person two rooms away just could not get a connection. When we moved it closer to that person, the person it used to be close to could not connect. We finally found a spot where it worked for everyone (middle of house directly in hallway). It would work OK most of the time, but would just randomly go to **** for no reason. We have had this problem all the time, and all we had to do was reset the router, but doing that would do nothing. It would just go back to normal after a couple minutes. Also, it wouldn't even say it disconnected. I would have full bars but the internet would just stop working. When I would try to diagnose the problem, it would tell me to reset the router, then the modem, and when neither of those would work, it would just tell me to contact my ISP. We've done that, but they didn't help whatsoever.

We also tried moving it back to its original spot, and it will work fine, but every 10-20 min it will just go to ****, stay that way for 1-5 min, then go back to normal without disconnecting.

It is the most annoying thing ever, and I just want to figure out if it is the modem or router to see what I need to buy. I remember the setup working perfectly for months, but it just doesn't.

I'm doing shrooms alone in my room, and I'm really excited, but I remember last time I did this, I eventually got caught up in my own thinking. I eventually started thinking things like, "What do I want?" and "What is the point of anything?", which consequently sent me in to a depression for the second half of my trip.

Should I socialize with friends over Xbox? Last time, I was just sitting in bed watching Comedy Central.

If you are all knowing, you know the exact step and move each human will take. You know where each particle of matter of the universe is. You know EXACTLY how everything will happen. Every 0 and every 1 from one end of the universe to the other end.

His plans also screw up. A lot. Maybe God is just stupid. God, how much would that suck? (That was a joke, don't freak out.)

I mean, even if he did, everyone would think he was crazy. And his first appearance wasn't "that" magical. There could have been some random virgin chick who got pregnant, but the town would just stone her for being a whore AND a liar. Plus, it is not written in stone how he will come back.

He could just be some hobo right now. He may be that one Russian guy in Siberia, Vissarion.

The fact of the matter is, if you see a guy with long hair/beard wearing a robe, preaching that he is the son of god, you run away. So how would you know?

A lot of you "geniuses" out here should change your approach to people with different ideas.

Christians: how were you taught Christianity? Was hell introduced early or late?

Christianity is perfectly fine, but please, don't terrorize children in to it by threatening them with hell.

The very idea of hell can completely frighten children, also it can put sadist ideas in to their head. Psychology tells us that children shouldn't learn to deal with their problems by physically hurting someone, which is what hell is.

It doesn't matter what is true or not, these lessons can damage a child.

P.S. Hell can be introduced as a place where evil goes, but don't tell children they will go there. That is sick.

Legally, can schools remove religious symbols just because some others interpret these symbols differently?

If that's the case, I'll tell some of my black friends to say crosses remind them of the KKK.

Back in the 60's, there was that supreme court case about wearing Vietnam War protest armbands. It has become clear that free speech is taken away in school when it becomes a significant distraction. If I am distracting, that's just fine, I'll cover it up. But if I am causing little to no distraction, can they make me take it off?

I do not believe in the ideals of Nazis or devil worshipers, but free speech is extremely important to me. There are multiple messages I would like to show my peers, and shirts seem a good way of doing it. What I want to know is: Legally, can schools force me to remove/cover these symbols if I have them showing on clothing? Almost every symbol that holds significant meaning to us used to have a different meaning. Swastikas are ancient symbols frequently seen throughout Asian culture, primarily Indian. In fact, the symbol has held the meaning "good" for centuries, if not millenniums. Satanic symbols were once pagan, and even Satan can be interpreted as a great being in some religions (not devil worshipping). I am a very calm, self-aware person, so it would be easy to not cause a distraction in class.

Two rights, right to religion and right to free speech. By the way, I live in a progressive public school near Seattle, so equality and rights are pretty important. And I don't give a **** about what you people believe in after death, I just want to know my rights.

What do you guys think?

After I started doing acid, I just started appreciating everything in it. Amazing back story, animations, music, jokes, writing, etc. The characters have so much personality, all of them hilarious. Not to mention all the references to pop culture. Also, they aren't afraid to do general TV taboos, such as weird and abrupt endings that don't really conclude the episode, which makes the show all the more hilarious. Seriously, if you don't like Adventure Time, you haven't given it enough of a chance, it is amazing.

P.S. If you have never done so, immediately go find your friendly neighborhood drug dealer, buy some drugs, do the drugs, and watch Adventure Time. Or any non-annoying cartoon for that matter.

I just want to walk to Fred Meyers to cash this check, but I don't have I license, permit, passport, etc. Although I do have ID from a local high school, which is a couple blocks away. It is only a birthday check for $100.

I want to cash a personal check at Fred Meyer's. Could I use my highschool ID?

I want to cash a personal check I got a few months ago for $100. I don't have a bank account and don't wish to make one. I also don't care if there is a fee. Anything under 10% is fine. I am underage and don't have government issued ID. Would I be able to go to, say Key Bank, and cash it? I would prefer not to use people with accounts to cash it.

I understand you must accept God and Jesus to be "saved", but what if your brain just simply won't allow you to believe? What if someone wants to believe, but can't? Could they just go to church and not sin, but still get in to heaven?

Just, what if your inner logical sense doesn't allow you to truly believe, but you fear the possibility?

If Athe created the universe, then who created Athe? Christianity proven.

Matt 28:19: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Even more proof right there.

Ahhh, legal weed. I'm excited.

Several times I have been accused of being Christian or Atheist. If I contradict one, I am now a stupid follower of the other one? Oh, and, everyone who does this, please stop calling people stupid. Will it make them learn? No.

Hello, my question is, would it be considered offensive or inappropriate to depict Muhammed visually in any way, shape, or form? I have no wish to cause offense to him or degrade him, I am just wondering.

I realize that many of you do not do this, but some of you guys will answer a religious question and just insult them. Or just simply state that God doesn't exist.

The concept of a god is not that ludicrous. There is stuff unexplained, like what sparked the big bang. It is a possibility, and to say it isn't is pretty close-minded, which is what many of you guys get mad at in the first place.

Food for thought.

P.S. If any of you see some ironic double-hypocrisy, please say so, I like to learn.
