1968 was one of the most tumultuous years in American history. Hippies were questioning b.s. values and b.s. status quo. African Americans were on the move.
Dr. King was assassinated. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. TET Offensive started. Heads got bashed in at the Chicago Democratic Convention. US Olympic Athletes raised the fist for black power. That was a pretty crazy year and the most consequential of the second half of the 20th Century until 1992.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I mean sometimes toilet paper runs out but by God were live in a society and there are lines one simply should not cross. (It's a poorly perforated line.) Think of the children.
The ice caps are melting. I think the children have a lot more to worry about than which direction I roll the TP.

If you want some weird beef to follow along with today, Amanda Palmer and The Guardian music editors are having it out on Twitter.
The gist is Amanda Palmer was upset that she didn't get covered by The Guardian so she came up with a "revolutionary" new idea to hire a "journalist" to cover her tour. It's honestly one of the more bizarre spats I've seen in recent memory. Amanda Palmer seems to be suggesting The Guardian should cover her work because The Guardian claim to be feminist.
This one really struck a chord with me when I read through it this afternoon. I was mostly indifferent if not a little negative on Amanda Palmer because the times she's come across my radar were her "come play my shows for free" stunt and the thing where she recreated a Marina Abramovic work. Now I feel like she's an ego-maniac.

That's what drew me in as well. I immediately went into mama bear mode when I heard someone was mean to her. Then I was so appalled at everything I learned about Amanda Palmer in the following half hour. Weird day.

I quit counting the days but it's been since July 4th that I quit pot. I smoked at my stag party a bit but that was over a month ago. The only time I ever get an urge to smoke since I quit is on the one Friday out of every two months or so that I have time to play Player Unknowns Battlegrounds with my team. I've never been able to figure this out, and I have basically quit plauing video games as a result. I was ready to build another computer before I quit but have since decided it's not worth the investment because I no longer play. There is a clinical definition of what happens when you lose interests in hobbies after you quit a drug or drink related heavily to them, and it makes me sad that I've lost my love of gaming because I went sober. I don't drink, I will occasionally but alcoholism runs rampant in my family so I avoid making that a habit in any way.
I guess I knew when I quit pot I'd be giving up more than just the corn, but I didnt realize a hobby and social experience I really loved would lose all its connection. Can anyone relate?
I see my computer that I built collecting dust, maybe it's time to let it go so I don't get reminded anymore.
Can't relate, but I'd imagine that concerts wouldn't be as exciting and there's no fucking way I'd be caught dead dancing without a few drinks in me. I know Postjack had a different experience altogether, but I'm going to keep on trucking as long as I can. I can't imagine not getting bored with pretty much everything we do if I was to ever live that straight line life - football Sundays on the couch? Boring. Concerts? Haha. No way. Good luck though.

Are you finding yourself losing a sense of connection to other things aside from gaming? Cannabis can (unintentionally) be used to foster feelings of connection, so when the connecting agent is gone, the feelings go with it. If you're struggling to connect with other things in your life as well, then the cannabis use might have been masking a difficulty that was already there. This could become more prevalent the further you go into sobriety and the less the substance occupies your mind - it leaves room for feelings of boredom. Why have you lost interest? What feelings did gaming evoke in you that it no longer does? What made it interesting before?
Maybe the question to ask is: did you love gaming, or did you love gaming-while-stoned? There's nothing wrong with either, but if it's the former, then sobriety isn't going to impact it and I would seek out other explanations for why you feel like you've lost it (and there might not be a reason either - people change), and if it's the latter then it might be a bittersweet realization but it's time to let that go if you've determined that cannabis no longer has a role in your life.

I miss gaming while stoned, I miss how easy the socializing was and feeling goofy. I played a few times and realized I'm actually a lot better at this game sober, but that doesn't make up for the gap that was created when I realized I'm not as fun and it's not as fun without a buzz. I refuse to become a pothead again, and while I believe I could learn to smoke once in a blue moon I see it as too slippery a slope for the shoes I currently possess. I am now in a place where getting rid of the PC makes more sense and that creates it's own heartbreak. I didn't give my hobbies up, I gave weed up, but my mind is weak I guess because while I have a stronger connection to a lot of wonderful aspects of my life, my hobbies don't really get any attention anymore. Thank you and esteban for yalls thoughts and helping me see it better.

First of all, great job on the progress you've made so far. It sounds like you've made a really positive change.
It sounds like all of your experiences with gaming have been closely intertwined with weed. You only gave up smoking, like, four months ago. That's really not a lot of time if you had been smoking and gaming for years.
Maybe you could store your computer out of site and try to develop a different hobby? Learn to cook or draw or something that requires your attention and where you can develop your skills. Even better if it's something you could do socially. I know there's plenty of drawing clubs around Atlanta where people get together and socialize and doodle. You'll get the socializing and rewarding aspects you always got from gaming removed from the context of being stoned.
Once you're enjoying that new hobby you could always dip back into gaming and see how it goes. You might find that it's rewarding in a way similar to your new hobby instead of your toking days.
Obviously if you need some cash or the computer is a temptation point then you should sell it. But it sounds like you do enjoy the game so I don't think you should give up on it entirely.

Thank you, I've debated the change of scenery approach and I appreciate you reinforcing that idea. I don't want for much, so getting rid of it would be more about relieving myself of what I could perceive as a trigger. I dont want to go back to constantly being stoned, and so I'm at a point where I'll do everything I can do prevent that and maybe I over think it sometimes. Thank you again for your thoughts

Good luck!
Regardless of whether or not you toss the PC it sounds like it would be worthwhile to build up some other hobbies or skills.
Our work system is so fucked up, normally I don't like to bash on the IT people just because it is a pretty thankless gig, but holy balls. Currently my Caps Lock button (in our system, not windows) is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do and just started happening out of the blue. I feel like if anyone else in our company was this bad at something they'd get fired.
Filth. And no. But you should probably go. He’s a fucking master story teller even if I somewhat blame him for brain damage and the lack of ability to unsee some of the mentally and emotionally destructive scenes from so many of his first 7 or 8 movies. It’s like hell came to earth because then nothing was sacred. Yet he is the man.
Just the same I was thinking of you personally because...
