[sudo-discuss] Fwd: [P2P-F] Fwd: Google Mine: Service To "Help" You Share Your Gadgets, Clothes And Other Stuff With Friends

[Sonja Trauss]

I'm jealous of all of the OCD people who are really excited for this kind
of extreme organizing. Who is going to actually do this? Sure, I've eaten
adderols and imagined I would carefully catalogue all of my belongings, but
I've also smoked DMT and imagined I saw the real face of the universe. This
is a drug fantasy!! This is as crazy as when stoner hippies think they are
going to make a new society. This is an example of the bay area's very
advanced drug culture.
