Easy In, Easy Out

Easy In, Easy Out

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.

Adam Abbott

Disk defrag?

Zain Redding

Willow is honestly the best person to have around for your first high

Cole Blackblood

Watching your memory management software at work without attempting to control or direct it.

Stephen Wells

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.)

Charlotte Grubbs

Hanners always did have faith of the heart :-)

David Durant

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.

Clifton Royston

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?

legobil

It's been a long time, but her time is finally near.

BookBeard

Hanners is the coolest. And it's been a long road, getting from there to here.

Maurice Kessler

Poor Iris XD

lazymagpie

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

enchantedsleeper

Green with jealousy, red with rage, this blue AI has all the colours

SpookyPenguin

Vaguely of vanilla, cinnamon, and old cured RTV.

Opus the Poet

Iris really needs to just go for it buddy. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

Jealousy, the green-Irised monster...

Stephen Wells

"Iris has no nose." "How does she smell?" .....

Todd Ellner

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

BookBeard

Gotta cool those cpu's somehow

Uniquitous

Or have the courage to try to get on it. You know, metaphorically speaking.

Uniquitous

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

Grace Kieser

Bodhisatva, won’t you help me understand…

FreeReedz

@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

Pejo

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.

Charlotte Grubbs

That would be PT410x https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1105

BookBeard

Pretty sure Iris is more into Breastwork but that might get her dazed all over again...

Hawkeye

GDI @BookBeard

Miyaa

Snake hair.

Captain Button

Willow has problems understanding flirting.

Captain Button

Even Data breathed

darklion

Iris' "tough, single AI" facade is about to break, I can feel it

DonnieRamesJio

Substitute bubbles of intoxication for...whatever the universal graphic indicator of being stoned is?

djellafine

@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!

Grace Kieser

I must now listen to some Steely Dan.

Joseph Bonnar

Willow is the one who may not understand how Iris feels.

Joseph Bonnar

Well after all, she did ascend and then return to Earth to help people.

Captain Button

Willow and Ayo both have reddened eyes, which I hear is a not-uncommon effect of weed.

Carl Fink

What's-his-serial-number the Linux geek had his heat sink which is absolutely not a neckbeard.

Captain Button

Not just the expressions. They're bookends, mirroring each other. It's adorable, for sure.

Carl Fink

He came to say he cannot stay, he must be going.

Captain Button

Are you implying that it's that easy for some people? I envy those people.

Carl Fink

Willow is so high in panel two that her sclera match her skin.

Terry Winter

I'll meditate when I'm dead. Not putting the practice down, it's just not for me.

Yelling Bird

You have a point, now stfu and ship this.

Gary Walker

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?

BookBeard

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...".

ValdVin

The Gremlin has a few in panel one.

SilverbackRon

Yes!

Carrie

If you're feeling left out Iris you could always simulate being high, dumby 😤

Fart Captor

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.

MayLaBelle

The similar facial expressions on Clinton and Claire are adorable.

rhekke

She's still drunk, the rest are more stoned I guess.

Doc Gumby

Do androids breathe in cannabis sleep?

PostRetroism

Willow is the only one with intoxication bubbles over her head. Did everyone else sober up?

Populuxe

Captain Spaulding?!?!

Todd Ellner

Well no, Iris, with you, it'll be breathplay...

Graydon Armstrong

If she runs out of gas, she can get ethyl.

Captain Button

Iris sings: 🎵Every breath you work Every time you twerk Every job you clerk, every board where you lurk I'll be watching you. 🎵

Sean Kinlin

Hanners, meanwhile, is fast forwarding to becoming a bodhisattva.

Tannerbot

Iris, just tell Willow you're attracted to her!

Grace Kieser

Someone should just bonk Iris with a clue by four.

Miyaa

Well, if you are Iris, the problem is probably you anyway...

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

Iris would like Willow to provide her some breath.

Sean Kinlin

Iris can leave in a huff, or she can leave in a minute and a huff.

ValdVin

Some of them certainly smell.

Sean Kinlin

Well, she's not wrong.

Michael Boettger

It mostly because her feelyare unresolved and she isn't dealing with them

Michael

I assumed androids breathed if they have human like bodies.

Andrea Andrew

Iris may not breathe, but she can certainly be in a huff.

Sean Kinlin

Green eyed monster is starting to show

Michael

If you like someone and your response to them doing stuff with other people is to get grumpy then the problem isn't them.

David Durant

Can't blame Ayo, counting when high is HARD.

Doc Gumby
