Stoned Festivus For The Rest of Us

as a black market enthusiast I could not be happier about those high prices at the legal stores... Just yesterday I gave a guy 41 grams for $100 even top shelf outdoor.... He usually buys much more but he said people just aren't buying it on the black market these days.....

 

I don't even know what 3/4 of this stuff they talk about is...

 

What is the difference?

 

"The main difference between envy and jealousy is that envy is the emotion of coveting what someone else has, while jealousy is the emotion related to fear that something you have will be taken away by someone else."



Quoted from some website somewhere

 

I've never once used or heard jealousy in that context
Have you?

 

That's just like..a conditional tense of jealousy
I might be jealous in the future if this is taken away from me

Pshhh. Stupid website is stupid

 

A jealous lover fears their spouse will be taken away by someone else... So, yeah kinda makes sense.

But what do I know, I speak 'murican....

 

Tyr is basically covering it, but yeah.

I'm jealous of the person my partner is spending time with.. Because I fear losing him..

I am envious of the pictures of Mally's holiday because I would like to be there..

 

It's subtle, and almost everyone uses them interchangeably.. But what's the point of having a language full of synonyms? Which is why using these kinds of words specifically is important to me. Their nuanced meanings matter, if we want a language where we can communicate exact thoughts. So much gets lost in translation even when we speak the same language, because people have different associations with different words.

 

How one makes it 34 years in life without learning this distinction is a mystery

I'll probably continue to use them interchangeably.
I've only just figured out effect/affect. This is too much for me

 

Jealousy is just envy with insecurities anyways

 

I'll actually probably use them correctly now

 

You will. I only learned this past year too : )
That's why I'm all keen on teaching everyone.
It's been really easy.

I just about have effect affect now but I did use the wrong one the other day when I wrote something quickly.. I have to consider it still, haha.

 

Envy is pretty healthy. It just shows us what we desire. Jealousy is fearful and so, I think, unhealthy.

 

I'm a little envious of that guy because he has such a amazing girlfriend I think I will hit on her and make him jealous just to see what effect that has and if it will affect me in the future

 

There was a frost warning for 2 hours north of here, so I may not make it to Oct haha

 

In Hamilton? Do they still have that cannabis farmers market running on the weekend?

 

Haha. Pretty much.

 

Aight, this boat needs anchoring.
Catch y'all on the other side of the fog horn.

 

I don't know where to get any weed. Sometimes I get smoked up by my friend, but that's it. I really need it, too. It's like, there's this whole layer of self-hatred and self-doubt that disappears after I've smoked a little. It helps me to see myself in a positive light. Usually I'm feeling bad about myself for one thing or another.
