  • Idk anything about Linux forums, but as far as forums in general:

    Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble

    This is legitimately my husband’s favorite thing to do. He’s not into Linux, he’s into garden tractors and mowers, but he loves the enthusiast forums and Facebook groups he’s in and is very active.

    Generally, he loves helping people who want to learn, and specifically, he is nuts about helping people learn to care for their machines and save them from the junkyard. He will spend hours on the phone and days over email helping people troubleshoot things, purely for the joy of helping.

    And when he’s not helping somebody, he’s talking to other tractor nerds about how cool their tractors are and how best to take care of them! 😂🥰

    So yes, there are people who like to hang around to give help, some people just really, really, really love to help.








  • how could you use this information to benefit yourself or others

    I would try to communicate the feel of things - either “this doesn’t feel right” or “oh shit, I think this is what we should do!” but idk how to do it better because the information from dreams is always so misty - what’s a silly amalgamation of experiences you’ve had, and what’s an actual analysis of things that might happen?

    how do you convince others that the things your are seeing are really happening without being labeled insane?

    I genuinely don’t know about this, because this is a problem I have in my real waking life: patterns and weirdness adding up to problems that cause me an itch that I usually can’t express until it’s an issue for everyone else, too, and then it’s usually too late.

    Take a peek into the multiverse to see how other versions of yourself have solved these problems…

    I think this is the best use of psychedelics - they help you see solutions that are outside your usual, obvious worldview.
