Couple of stoner associations they miss, as the article only really mentions the use of the pokey:

  1. the part of the body, under the gas pedal/wheel part, is completely flat (unlike the rest of the body) to allow for scraping up weed after it has been ground up.
  2. when you turn the lighter upside down, after sparking it, the flame gets considerably bigger for bong rips.

Thank you, I had no idea. Already had uBlock Origin on my phone (FF), so that’s one less extension needed. Works perfectly!

I have a Sharkpad as a third party controller, bought as a kid all those years ago, and it is genuinely the most comfortable N64 I have used to this day. Simple modification but it was an absolute beast!

OH! Sorry I completely misunderstood, I love that question.

Various ways. Sometimes I go to record shops, and go through the vinyls until I find something with a cool name or other arbitrary metric I’ve come up with to choose an album. This is how, many years ago, I found Foxboro Hot Tubs -i literally picked it up and thought, “well this sounds like it may be a funky band!” Then realised immediately that the lead singer sounded a lot like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong but singing entirely different styles. Turns out it was a side band of theirs!!

Other times I always keep Shazam handy when I’m outside, going for walks, meeting with people, going somewhere to eat, etc. in this way I’ve realised a lot of other people have very cool tastes so when I hear something I like, I literally pull out Shazam on my phone and see if it can figure it out.
For the moments it doesn’t work, I usually find someone to ask. Doesn’t always work though.

Other times I’m just going through each playlist on streaming services, like YouTube Music, and just skipping until I find something I like and then add it to a list.
I listen to various genres, however there are a lot of sub-genres alongside occasional fusions I would miss out on if I only go with the tunes I know, so I’m keen to just randomise the genres rather than focus on one solely. Cypress Hill is a good example, since there are a good number of tracks they did with a rock vibe, or that Korn track they did with Ice Cube. Many times I’m playing songs for the vibe I’m in at the time, so it literally can flip from Suidakra to Taylor Swift depending on my hectic mind haha.

Hope that answers your query.

Most of my tracks have been collected over time, through various different methods. Most recently I’ve been buying digital copies of albums I like when streamed (usually YouTube Music provides a nice way to sample them this way).

However some artists spend their entire careers trying to remove a rib, yet their music sounds good so I usually Torrent those.

I’m a bit busy to post about the transition myself, though I’ll definitely upvote yours when I see it in the feed :)

I like that some apps provide different things, like Tempo straight away gave me a page where I could select by genre and so on. It’s great having this freedom.

Last week I set up Navidrome on my PC, and connect to it with an app (Tempo) on my phone.

It’s like having my own Spotify. Snappier too.

There’s quite a few you’d find with a search, phrases in general, however one example out of many is the simple phrase: cakewalk, or ‘taking the cake’. The phrase has origins as a sort of dance African slaves would perform in order to win a prize of a cake.

Here’s a source I found on it, which is short, however there is a longer Wikipedia entry about too: https://birminghamhistoricalsociety.com/2023/02/06/history-of-the-cake-walk/

Edit: I’m sorry I remembered this is about sexual stereotypes. I’m way too high since I went down a rabbit hole and can’t decide on a source. Sorry lmao.
