By going out and being social. For me the issue isn’t anything more than self doubt and overthinking dumb stuff that others don’t actually care about. Head empty, go places.

I absolutely can’t focus on one person if two are talking about roughly the same thing at the same time. The only way for me to take in any information is unfortunately to apologize to both of them and explain that while I’m glad they both know how to handle the situation I’m asking about, I can’t handle the information overload of both of them explaining it at the same time.

At which point I have to re-ask the same person I asked the first time to explain it.

There are always moments in someones life where they have to stop and look around them to see how things have been moving along and if they are moving in a direction which is acceptable. It’s in those moments that one might realize the life they’re living is a bit lopsided in terms of give and take. From there the extrapolation of if being off balance is acceptable to that person given the struggles of those around them is worth continuing down that path. And in the final push of Altruism, a realization that the world will never be balanced and as long as you have enough, then you should do whatever you can do make sure others are brought up to a level of enough to not cause undo suffering.

I am willing to admit that there are a small subsection of people who cannot be appropriately helped as they are unwilling (but completely able) to help themselves, and any efforts to aid them will only make them reliant on the assistance.

If you want to continue using a platform that actively does the nonsense… just avoid the nonsense. Keep politics and global events out of your posts and you should be fine. If you’re going to reddit to be part of niche communities, be about those communities and don’t stray.

Similarly, 40ish hours for an mmo binge back in the day.

On paper it totally should be. I mean, you’re not growing animals, just the parts you want to eat in a vat.

But well, in actuality it may follow the same path as vertical farming.

He’s also strangely against lab grown meat… which I just flat out don’t understand. It’s unproven on whether or not it’s even economically viable… and PA is famous for scrapple. So I mean… calling anything else slop is confusing.

Oh no, I can’t believe that Elon would just give shameless content straight to asmon like that… Wait stop, don’t make a video about getting unchecked on Twitter because the owner got mad and unchecked you tor calling him out on his silly video game stuff. I’m sure the video won’t at all be a viral hit…

I recently purchased Affinity photo, which did most of what I used to use Adobe for. No subscription, one time purchase, and I’ll likely never need to worry about that again.

I tried gimp a few times and found it frustrating to use.

I know it’s not really the topic you considered… But yes, I do believe every drug should be legalized. If you consider the benefits alone it should be obvious that it is the correct choice.

Drugs made by lisenced people/locations that use safe ingredients and are open to litigation if they end up making a bad batch.

The revenue collected isn’t going to some drug lord overseas, it’s going into the country which you live instead.

Dispensaries can be used secondary as a councelling/rehabilitation center.

The long and the short if it is that if people want them, they will get them. I live in a place that hasn’t legalized weed yet… But if you are around certain neighborhoods at around 9am, it starts to smell very obvious that legality doesn’t matter. While currently that’s not surprising as many states near mine have legalized, we’ll before that happened things were exactly the same.

I don’t want people to be addicted to drugs, but I don’t see why we as a society shouldn’t benefit at all from someone who is.

For me it’s not about TikTok. It’s about using whatever flimsy, poorly worded law they will make to ban a platform I don’t use to open the door for further bans and possible censorship in the future. A platform should be allowed to function if it can. If it’s horribly made, or supremely unprofitable it’ll find its own way out. I don’t use it, I don’t plan on ever using it, and honestly it doesn’t affect my daily life outside of my mother in law thinking that some of the pallet crafts on there are worthwhile and me having to explain that they’ll look good for a moment and then fall apart rather quickly.

Geocities was over the hump at that point, but i guess that makes it even more true.

Rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, give it a good once over, if the q-tip isn’t pure white, repeat.

Once clean wait for it to air dry and give it a go.

You take your fractional pennies and get out of here with those rough guesses I can’t refute or deny!

I’d honestly be surprised if a majority of any social space was bots… However I do believe a majority of initial posts are bot generated. Especially for news based spaces. It just makes sense to plug in a bot to whatever biased news source you subscribe to and just have it post new articles every 5 minutes.

Much like the average American voter, I believe in that 50% silent users who are often forgotten. 25% active users, and that other 25% can be whatever ghosts in the system the OP is after.

My numbers are also butthole deriven.

It was many years ago and I just realized that it wasn’t a sumo, just an absolutely monstrous hand that for whatever reason I recollected as a sumo wrestler.

I’m excited to see the new jet set radio and crazy taxi.

Not because I’m at all interested in playing them but because I want to see the absolute shitshow they will both assuredly release as.

The kind that wants realllllly consistent beef jerky.

Multiple of the same shirt. Let me see if I can find it online… I cannot. It was a massive thick print of a sumo wrestler on a surf board with a massive hang loose written on it. Besides being a terrible design, the thickness of the print alone caused excessive sweating and irritation.

Got the same crappy t-shirt several years apart from the same person.

I’ve been considering starting a tinder account purely to find food places. Just offer up a free meal at their favorite place, no romance required.
