New-to-me vocabulary: oneshotted, “a term that means, roughly, to be destroyed and subsequently remade by a single experience”.

New to me as well, though the feeling that certain things (having kids is the immediate example that springs to mind) was a 360 no-scope to my life that existed before that certainly resonates.
This is a post about Twitter. A space inhabited, at this point, by only the vile. Neologisms from the vile are interesting, i guess, but not really worth a page in the Atlantic, which, of course, says something about the Atlantic these days.
without having had direct experience of either, i'm still looking askance at the idea of ayahuasca being a oneshotted type of experience. feels like if it involves vomiting, it shouldn't really be a oneshotter. dmt on the other hand...
What if you only vomit once?
Loving the recent linguistic posts and the fact that not only did I not know "one-shotted," the first reply contained a phrase (360 no-scope) completely new to me. Off to ask my daughter to translate…
sorry i can't handle the "yet another example of the dominant hegemony's casual use of drugs that brown folks have historically ended up in jail" for the same casual use.
i mean c'mon just abuse alcohol and tobacco like non rich people people :-)
i love jason and this website don't get me wrong! it's just the entitled use of recreational drugs that bothers me :-)
