  If you take an edible it might take up to 2 hours before it kicks in. A common mistake people have as they take one, it doesn’t immediately take effect so they assume it was a dud and then they take more and then they end up taking more than they planned to. It’s not going to kill you or seriously hurt you, certain psychiatric predispositions excepted, but it will be unpleasant.

  Cannabis is way better than alcohol, I recommend you start with 5 mg or better yet smoke weed first. 10 mg can be kind of strong especially if you’re new. Do you have access to Legal weed? If you don’t can you have someone buy from a licensed dispensary for you?

  It will be very strong your first time so I recommend starting slow. I smoked a single joint my first time and that got me completely stoned for several hours. For your first time if you can reliably source whatever you want I recommend getting a strain with more CBD in it. It will give you a more mellow higher than just the high THC low CBD variants there are most common these days. I’m experienced and I still kind of prefer that.

  The term drugs is extremely Broad and covers a very large number of substances that are completely different. I recommend sticking to weed for at least a couple years before you even think of trying anything else, even then there are certain classes that I would never recommend you ever try recreationally. Never do opioids, never use benzodiazepines recreationally and even with a prescription be careful. Psychedelics are great but you have to have to do it right. This is not an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts, I might write one someday

  The next tech industry crash will probably take out all the big platforms because they never really figured out how to make money, and self-hosting will take over as Basic Hardware capabilities have been improving all the while, the software to host servers and get through NAT jail have improved, and Regulatory crap like porn bands and age verification have given a decisive Edge to platforms too small to be effectively censored passed a whack-a-mole level short of extreme censorship which even then can be bypassed with wireless or wired Mesh networking.

  Think about it, feature wise what does reddit do that Lemmy or piefed can’t? Plex is the best way to stream already. Hosting a website is also trivial now when it used to be a big deal that Apache web server existed in the first place.

  although the thing is America can’t recover unless the supreme court is delt with, and democrats won’t do that, so the decline will just continue until it breaks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pluralistic: The online community trilemma⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We need a mature multireddit like function, and for similar communities across instances to be pre-merged. A function to display comments on the same post cross posted or parallel posted on one page would be useful too. That would help with fragmentation while allowing communities to be independent underneath

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sudden epiphany.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The system was always fundamentally flawed. It’s conformity training where math and reading lessons are there to buy legitimacy. I don’t recall anyone actually caring about the subjects for their own sake. It’s all about the grades, the test scores, how prestigious the college, degrees as job credentials. You could replace the subjects with memorizing random nonsense and the machine would still function

  Hardware that can be manufactured on larger nodes can’t really be stopped, and the (black) market for both old and new free hardware will be big, considering all the things that will inevitably be banned. As always, don’t comply in advance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that there will be a signal implying a user is an adult will give all sorts of bad actors plausible deniability, perhaps even legal protection, for exploiting children, who will of course be bypassing it

  The fact that college degrees are required for jobs that hey we’re all completely distorts hiring and the entire education system.
