  I use molasses to make water kefir, and saw that they sell bulk molasses for animals that is way cheaper. Didn’t have the nerve to pull the trigger though.

  RealID is insufficient to confirm citizenship, yet a facial recognition app that is known to make errors is “definitive”? Sounds like racist bullshit to me.

  I’m sorry you had to go through that, as nobody deserves it. Ironically, the person that began my harassment fell victim to it himself, and killed himself by stepping in front of a car. Apparently he could dish it out, but not take it when the psychopaths he engaged with turned it on him. “Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas” I guess.

  You may or may not find this useful, but I thought I’d share on the chance it might help. The people around you can have a tremendous impact on your mental health. I unfortunately had a malignant narcissist in my life that organized a mobbing campaign calculated to drive me to suicide. How was it done? Massive amounts of gaslighting to unmoor me from reality, heap stressors on me to overload, while those around me seeded the idea by constantly talking about suicide “if you want someone else to completely believe in your idea, you must make them believe that it was their own idea all along.” The strategy was fairly effective, and by the time I realized what was going on I was a wreck and had frequent suicidal ideation.

  What stopped me was, like you, something inside telling me not to do it. This experience has completely reshaped how I view suicide, and I suspect that many others have been driven to suicide though similar means. What I did to get out of it was to sever ties with everyone involved, which basically meant severing ties virtually everyone in my life, including my family (they were involved), and rebuilding myself from the ground up. I started with physical improvement through exercise, as I was morbidly obese and had several related health issues. By focusing on small, incremental things that I did have control over, such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition, I was able to make useful changes to improve my life. You can’t change what other people do, but you can change what you do, and that can have an enormous impact on your life. While doing this, I was effectively in purgatory for 4 years while I rebuilt myself, and only last August did I begin to venture out to work on rebuilding my social life. It’s been a long haul, but I am so much happier now. I now have numerous real friends, an active social life, am in the best shape of my life, and am virtually unrecognizable to people who knew me before. The world is still in a shit place, and it will almost certainly get worse before it gets better, but focusing on things I can control and letting go of things out of my control I am in a much better place to deal with it all. Best of luck, and hang in there.

  True, but scroll through my comment history. I am a nerd, and I’m a bit formal in my wording (I’m an attorney), but if AI can engage like this I think we’re all in trouble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Psyllium husk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Humans evolved consuming a high fiber diet, but the standard American diet of highly processed foods has little fiber. Fiber is extremely beneficial, and feeds the gut microbiome, with which we have a symbiotic relationship and which helps us make things like serotonin. Consuming a whole foods diet, boosting fiber intake with things like psyllium husk and inulin, and regularly consuming fermented foods will help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Microbiome disbiosis is one of the hallmarks of aging, and can have a huge negative impact on your health.

  Dogs are into coprophagia, and they probably get some nutrients or beneficial bacteria or something from it, because it is instinctual. My parents dogs love to raid the litter box.

  The engagement bots constantly peppering my comments with inane remarks to draw a reaction is what drove me to Lemmy. I was there early on, and it was awesome. As its popularity grew, it became less nice, but I still enjoyed going there. In the end, I didn’t feel like commenting because I knew that I’d just get hit with stupid responses calculated to draw a response. It just felt harassing.

  This is how jerks like Trump and Musk operate. They hire locals to do the work, knowing that they hold all the leverage. Then they withhold payment, usually asserting that something was wrong with the work. Then they litigate. Litigation is costly, and it’s easy to spend millions of dollars fighting legal battles, so the little guy is bullied into settling for a fraction of what was owed, because a full-on legal battle would likely wipe him out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no need to upgrade devices every two years ago, which used to be the norm. A decade or more ago, each new generation of phone was a huge leap forward. Today, not so much. Maybe a marginally better camera or a touch more battery life, but nothing earth shattering, and the camera and battery life on my “ancient” Pixel 6 Pro are more than adequate for my needs. I’ll probably upgrade in the next year or so, to a used Pixel 9, because the price of them used has plummeted since the release of the Pixel 10, and the Pixel 6 is nearing the end of its support by GrapheneOS.

  No, not at all. I can make all sorts of good, healthy, inexpensive meals for less than the cost of fast food. While it is true that grocery prices have risen quite a bit in the last year, it’s still way cheaper than eating out, and much better for you.
