Set and setting: it's not just for acid anymore.

It's more an effective having smoke around than of getting high. I can get very high with gummies in my eyes are just fine.

I hear you, I've also got ADHD and a lot of trouble with executive dysfunction. I spent so much time myself while meditating going "Oh no, I forgot to count my breaths", "I'm doing it wrong!" and "Oh no, I'm hoping to get enlightened and that's going to stand in the way of doing proper meditation and actually getting enlightened - oh no, there I go again." Eventually I'd gone around on it so many times I gave up, and it stopped bothering me so much. One of the things I got from my current teacher is that the actual practice, the important part of meditation practice, is to keep on coming back to the practice you were trying to do. That idea helps me a lot.

I mean, even my computer breathes, and (as far as I know) it isn't sentient. If she's got leds anywhere, they'd fade in and out, probably in pretty colors.
Zain Redding
Disk defrag?
Cole Blackblood
Willow is honestly the best person to have around for your first high
Stephen Wells
Watching your memory management software at work without attempting to control or direct it.

Interesting! I learned to meditate as part of treatment for an eating disorder, and it really did help with decoupling emotional stimuli (stress, conflict, self-criticism) from compulsive symptom use (binging, purging, body checking). But it was rough going at first and I worried a lot about somehow doing it wrong. (I am, as I suspect Ayo is, a perfectionist with a high level of executive dysfunction thanks to a combo of anxiety disorder and ADHD.)
David Durant
Hanners always did have faith of the heart :-)
Clifton Royston
FWIW my late Zen teacher said that there are some people who really should not meditate - it can make things worse for some kinds of schizophrenics, for instance, to be paying *more* attention to their inner voices or hallucinations.
Clifton Royston
Dale could give Iris advice on how to deal with her crush, and that's saying something.
Clifton Royston
I think by now everybody in Northampton must be aware that the problem is with Iris, except for Willow and Iris.
legobil
I wonder what the AI equivalent of breathing exercises would be in QC universe? Like, sniffing tea is equivalent to drinking tea, an app to get drunk etc. Maybe some kind of defragging sub-routine?
BookBeard
It's been a long time, but her time is finally near.
Maurice Kessler
Hanners is the coolest. And it's been a long road, getting from there to here.
lazymagpie
Poor Iris XD
enchantedsleeper
Bodhi*sativa* :D
enchantedsleeper
Iris just wants to be Willow's first 🥺
enchantedsleeper
They definitely look like twins xD
enchantedsleeper
Omg xDDDD
enchantedsleeper
Yemisi is so done with these goofs xD
SpookyPenguin
Green with jealousy, red with rage, this blue AI has all the colours
Opus the Poet
Vaguely of vanilla, cinnamon, and old cured RTV.
Mitsuki Ayane
Iris really needs to just go for it buddy. ~<3
Stephen Wells
Jealousy, the green-Irised monster...
Todd Ellner
"Iris has no nose." "How does she smell?" .....
BookBeard
Pine-scented liquid coolant. It's what all the cool AI are using. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3669
BookBeard
Hanners is very good at counting high. She made it to 501,422 once. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5025
Uniquitous
Gotta cool those cpu's somehow
Uniquitous
Or have the courage to try to get on it. You know, metaphorically speaking.
Grace Kieser
And there was only one of him. This universe has a whole population of androids! Not breathing must be the key! Passive cooling is the way to go!
Grace Kieser
Meditation is just vibes! You gotta go with whatever, yo! It's cool, breathe slow and relax... You got this! <3
FreeReedz
Bodhisatva, won’t you help me understand…
Pejo
@ellafine - Red eyes! It works doubly b/c you can see those irl. & they all have those here 😌
Pejo
While telling her would help in a lot of ways, I think she'd still be a jealous doofus 😓
Pejo
Good god Iris get off Willow's dick
Charlotte Grubbs
As someone with an anxiety disorder, I deeply relate to Ayo worrying that she's screwing up meditation. Yes I KNOW it will help with my anxiety THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT what do you MEAN there's no objectively correct way to do it THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.
BookBeard
That would be PT410x https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1105
Hawkeye
Pretty sure Iris is more into Breastwork but that might get her dazed all over again...
Miyaa
GDI @BookBeard
Captain Button
Snake hair.
Captain Button
Willow has problems understanding flirting.
darklion
Even Data breathed
DonnieRamesJio
Iris' "tough, single AI" facade is about to break, I can feel it
djellafine
Substitute bubbles of intoxication for...whatever the universal graphic indicator of being stoned is?
Grace Kieser
@carl It helps to not overthink it and do it a couple times. It never really gets EASIER, but you get used to the nerves!
Joseph Bonnar
I must now listen to some Steely Dan.
Joseph Bonnar
Willow is the one who may not understand how Iris feels.
Captain Button
Well after all, she did ascend and then return to Earth to help people.
Carl Fink
Willow and Ayo both have reddened eyes, which I hear is a not-uncommon effect of weed.
Captain Button
What's-his-serial-number the Linux geek had his heat sink which is absolutely not a neckbeard.
Carl Fink
Not just the expressions. They're bookends, mirroring each other. It's adorable, for sure.
Captain Button
He came to say he cannot stay, he must be going.
Carl Fink
Are you implying that it's that easy for some people? I envy those people.
Terry Winter
Willow is so high in panel two that her sclera match her skin.
Yelling Bird
I'll meditate when I'm dead. Not putting the practice down, it's just not for me.
Gary Walker
You have a point, now stfu and ship this.
BookBeard
The only problem is that when AI simulate getting high they have serious cravings for HTTP cookies.
BookBeard
You can't tell because of the framing, but Hanners is now floating two inches above the couch cushions.
BookBeard
I bet some of them breathe as part of an air-based cooling system. Probably depends on the chassis.
BookBeard
Dont be silly, don't you know that the torturous, unfulfilled anticipation of patreon shippers is the true source of Jeph's power?
ValdVin
Is this Ayo's first time meditating? She has a nearly-furrowed look of concentration, like breathing exercises included "If Train A leaves Chicago traveling east at 60 mile per hour...".
SilverbackRon
The Gremlin has a few in panel one.
Carrie
Yes!
Fart Captor
If you're feeling left out Iris you could always simulate being high, dumby 😤
MayLaBelle
I can report from experience that counting while ADHD is hard too. Especially if other people are having a conversation in the same room as they are here.
rhekke
The similar facial expressions on Clinton and Claire are adorable.
Doc Gumby
She's still drunk, the rest are more stoned I guess.
PostRetroism
Do androids breathe in cannabis sleep?
Populuxe
Willow is the only one with intoxication bubbles over her head. Did everyone else sober up?
Todd Ellner
Captain Spaulding?!?!
Graydon Armstrong
Well no, Iris, with you, it'll be breathplay...
Captain Button
If she runs out of gas, she can get ethyl.
Sean Kinlin
Iris sings: 🎵Every breath you work Every time you twerk Every job you clerk, every board where you lurk I'll be watching you. 🎵
Tannerbot
Hanners, meanwhile, is fast forwarding to becoming a bodhisattva.
Grace Kieser
Iris, just tell Willow you're attracted to her!
Miyaa
Someone should just bonk Iris with a clue by four.
Etienne M.J. Dubourg
Well, if you are Iris, the problem is probably you anyway...
Sean Kinlin
Iris would like Willow to provide her some breath.
ValdVin
Iris can leave in a huff, or she can leave in a minute and a huff.
Sean Kinlin
Some of them certainly smell.
Michael Boettger
Well, she's not wrong.
Michael
It mostly because her feelyare unresolved and she isn't dealing with them
Andrea Andrew
I assumed androids breathed if they have human like bodies.
Sean Kinlin
Iris may not breathe, but she can certainly be in a huff.
Michael
Green eyed monster is starting to show
David Durant
If you like someone and your response to them doing stuff with other people is to get grumpy then the problem isn't them.
Doc Gumby
Can't blame Ayo, counting when high is HARD.
