Internet forums: A place where people can debate semantics until they're blue in the face, all while missing the entire point of everything previously said, all for ego points. Maybe you need some ego death instead... mushrooms, anyone?

Hate mushrooms. Both the drug kind and pizza topping.

Hate the pizza topping, love the drug.

I consider myself a bit of a foodie; I'll eat damn near anything and love good, fresh food. But mushrooms? Ew. Mushrooms and olives are like my two no's.

Why?

I'd bet as much as I love coconut rum, I don't drink it and think I can still drive after drinking it. But I'd bet you stupidly think that shrooms or pot are different.

You must be a real moron if you can' t drive after drinking rum.

I can.


...

I didn' t say I drive as well as when I am sober.


Details count.

You assume way too much.

A dolphin is a mammal. The person who made the tweet I posted about denied that dolphins were mammals. THEY ARE MAMMALS! Muddying the waters by treating laypersons usage of the same word a scientist may use causes that kind of bullshit denial.

He’s not muddying the waters, it seems he’s using layperson language, because he is a layperson, while you’re uinsisting he use the scientific definition, in a context unrelated to science, in an argument among laypeople.

Some people say tators and some people say potato, but a potato cannot be confused with tomatos which are not vegetables but are fruit. Dolphins are akin to the same bullshit confusion. Dolphins are mammals and tomatos are fruit, not vegetables.

Dolphins swimming in water only mean they swim in water like fish, but the are still not tuna.

Driving after ingesting psilocybin would not be a good idea.

However, I'd rather hear someone is experimenting with magic mushrooms than coconut rum. Unlike alcohol, you cannot overdose fatally on psilocybin. Under the influence of an amount far outside the range of what would be considered safe, someone may hurt themselves or put themselves in a dangerous situation, so they're not totally harmless.

However, outside of mushrooms being far, far safer than alcohol, there's actually a huge amount of benefits to having a psychedelic experience.

There's no real benefit to being drunk. Other than loosening you up socially because you're too much of a pussy to go talk to the pretty girl at the end of the bar when you're sober. So there's that.

This one - genus Delphinidae - not so much.

Which dolphin is dolphin free tuna, free of?

That was a fairly shitty assumption.
