Is this what i've stayed sober for???

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Lemme get this straight - you stayed sober? and for something as trivial as a reason?

WAYSA???

yep, sometimes it seems like the options are "Be sober and miserable at the mess we have in the world" or "Be stoned, drunk and tripping ... the world won't be any better but you'll be stoned, drunk and tripping...."

LOL

And why not spend the 75 or so years you have on this planet in a chemically-induced haze?  That's different from spending it in front of the teevee.

Somehow.

Highs and trips, to my knowledge, don't come with commercial breaks. That's all I can think of.

Commercial breaks ain't the problem with teevee.  Teevee is the problem with teevee.  Creates a substitute for LIVING.  Same thing with drugs & alcohol.  Once in a while doesn't hurt ya none...but when you view the state of being all fucked up as being superior to regular living, then you've bought the Conspiracy line, and turned yourself into the sort of drone The Man likes to see.

Congratulations.

This is so very true.
I love my booze, and pot, and mushrooms, and LSD, but when you use it to replace instead of enhance, then what are you doing?
Really doing?

I think I need to cut back.  Which is funny, because I'm drunk.

Very true TROOF
