Living in a state where it’s legal, it’s kinda awesome how the paranoia went away. Took a while, and age may also play a part, but like no one cares anymore here as long as you’re not being a moron about it. Being able to just walk into a shop and buy it like any other product also helps with that. Removes the stigma to hide it, and therefore the reason to be paranoid that “someone knows!”.
+1 for Good Place. That show is phenomenal.
The one, true release.
EDIT: seriously these folks love Star Wars more than George https://youtu.be/dHfLX_TMduY
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.

You have to show ID. It doesn’t have to be a driver’s license. Many states, mine included, issue cards that are solely for identification and that’s it.
Silly OP, we’re all groups of atoms already!
I would recommend starting by joining a group around a topic you’re interested in. Local climbing club or anime group or sports enthusiasts or gaming clan or whatever. Something in person. Use that group to practice social skills and learn body cues with topics you’re already familiar and confident with, and that in turn will help you branch out to other topics when you’re ready with the same level of communication.
It is a learned skill, and it takes time, but if you never take the time to learn it, then it will always feel foreign to you. Does that make sense? Like so many things in life, you have to get past the fear to get to the reward. That can be difficult, and you might get hurt when you put yourself out there, but I believe if you keep with it, and you’re determined to make a change, you can absolutely overcome anything and find a social group that complements you.
Good luck, friend. You can do it. We believe in you.
Modification to the first one, at least for me — I don’t care if I literally just watched you check it in front me of me before handing it over, I’m still checking. Always. I would expect others to do the same. First, it is just a reassurance, and second, it shows I actually know how to check it myself.
Finally, I didn’t see it listed, but keep the safety on until you’re ready. This kinda goes with the “keep finger off trigger” rule, in that it offers an extra degree of protection.
That’s the idea. But definitely check with the hotel if they will accept and how long they’ll hold it for. Some hotels only accept guest packages for a few days before their check-in; they’re usually not going to want to hold it for a week or two. Maybe something you can work on with the seller to time the shipment appropriately?

That’s a joke. Kinda.
Start slow and learn your limit. You can always drink more, but by the time you’ve had too much it’s already too late to slow down.
As for drugs, if anything, weed only. Don’t be messing around with stimulants, hallucinations, or prescription stuff.
Fringe is just a fun sci-fi show that really leans into the fun of it, and so it’s easy to just watch and enjoy even when they’re investigating something insane.
As the The Expanse, it’s an excellent world builder and futuristic saga. I like to watch and see if I catch anything new in the background, and enjoy the epic space battles. (As an aside, the book series is phenomenal also. First three books are $28 at Amazon…. Can almost certainly find them at your local library too!)

I like beer that’s beer. The rest is just details.
Truly the champagne of beers.
Now you’re living the High Life.
