- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 4 days ago:
I’ve been using cannabis for years and I love it. I am generally careful when it comes to developing dependencies. I check myself every once in a while and I don’t self medicate or pretend I’m taking it for pain or sleep or whatever. I take it because I like being high and I’m not ashamed of it.
I am worried about long-term effects. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s really freak me out and it would suck if there turned out to be a link there. But there’s a good chance something else will kill me before I get there and I’m not sure I want to give up something I so thoroughly enjoy just to live a little longer.
I tried taking a hiatus in January. I read about mental clarity coming back and feeling more rested. I felt none of those things. I also didn’t feel any intense cravings or withdrawal symptoms. Just boredom and dissatisfaction with life in general and I don’t have a lot of hope of that changing with or without weed.

That’s a neat trick but also 4% of 75 = (1% of 75) * 4 = 0.75 * 4 = 1.5 * 2 = 3

- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
I was chatting with some folks the other day and somebody was going on about how they had gotten asymptomatic long-COVID from the vaccine. When asked about her sources her response was that AI had pointed her to studies and you could viscerally feel everybody else’s cringe.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I’m resisting the urge to jump to conclusions, however I can’t help but observe that objectively there seems to be a common denominator in your situation. Either way, it sucks that that’s been your experience and I hope things change for the better for you.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
It doesn’t feel unique to Lemmy to me. I’m seeing higher levels of hostility in just about any environment broad enough to include left and right wingers

- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t bother me if somebody wanted to bring a friend on a date. However, I would communicate that it would change the dynamic into a “hangout” over a traditional “date” for me. The difference being that a date carries romantic intent and a hangout is for the sake of connecting with others without romantic expectations. Also, a hangout means everybody pays for themselves.
This takes the pressure off by lowering the stakes since it’s now just a casual hangout between peers. It also has the benefit of making the third not feel excluded as a third wheel but a welcome part of the group.

D without a doubt. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, parts of China. It’s even got some Mediterranean in there. That’s basically all I eat already.

Maybe something’s going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.
Unless you’re talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I’ve definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.

Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.
- Comment on choice 1 month ago:
Clarification for green. Does it require physical contact or is it like a Death Note situation? If it’s the former, don’t we already have that ability? What about non-bio-based materials? If you eat a rock and poop out a rock, does it also now qualify as poo?

I’d wager a lot more than some need a Callum to explain what they should think about anything, given the state of things.

Technically, only a small section of California is part of the Cascadian region. But so is most of Idaho… And I think just about everybody would be happier if we made that trade.

We’re investigating private companies for bias now? Are Truth Social and Fox News next??
- Comment on WATER! 1 month ago:
I find you get much better results if you talk to the LLM like you were instructing a robot, not a human. That means being very specific about everything.
It’s the difference between, “I would like water” and, “I would like a glass filled with drinking water and a few cubes of ice mixed in”.

Now imagine, successful GoFundMe campaigns for everybody but funded by taxes on the rich instead of random working people’s well-meaning but arbitrary intentions.

Sometimes, as I approach middle-age, a desire to have kids creeps into my fantasies. And then something like this comes along and snuffs that desire out.
On a separate note, that batman suit is dope.

- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 months ago:
Third one in a little over two years. They say it’s to keep up with inflation as if they’re a retail store operating on razor thin margins and people accept that.

I just drove through Wyoming and it’s a prime spot for wind turbines. Too bad it’s also prime for coal mining…

Meh, I actually know how to code without the help of AI and my knowledge in computer science is minimal. It’s like the difference between being a construction worker and having an engineering degree.
