What are some good real life examples of this? The closest I can think of is that MSI Afterburner is being maintained by one guy in Russia.

There’s eight Harry Potter films!? Aren’t there only like 4 or 5 books? Did they pull a The Hobbit?

Then clearly you haven’t been staying on top of current events and popular gadgets.

• Neuralink is a brain chip funded by Hitler Elon Musk.
• Flipper Zero is a tool that lets knowledgeable people hack into and do various things with devices that use radio waves.
• “Cutting off” is when a driver changes lanes in front of another driver without keeping a safe distance between vehicles.
• “Flipping off” is when you show someone your middle finger in an insulting manner.
• Traffic is caused by people in cars who neither understand how to keep a proper following distance, nor how the passing lane works. It can also be a symptom of poor public transport infrastructure.

As far as gender dysphoria… I’ll let someone more experienced in the subject tackle that one for me.

I thought they could be litter box trained?

This is why you use thumbnail view. I thought everyone did. I mean, that’s how reddit originally was, and most of us come from there.

What’s a “bulkhead”

Windows is only better for you if you have a high-end Nvidia GPU and/or like having a good HDR implementation (KDE’s HDR support is a joke by comparison). If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.

That said, from what I’ve seen since I joined Lemmy, most people here couldn’t give a single fuck about HDR. In fact, every time I even bring it up, I get nothing but hostility from the community (cause how dare I dual boot instead of using Arch fulltime? *sigh*).

You’re missing out on a colorful image that more closely resembles real-life (clouds and sunsets look especially beautiful in HDR), but if you’ve never experienced it before then I can understand why the general opinion around here is that HDR is useless. I mean, I used to think that VA panels had good contrast and that IPS had superior colors, until I got a 4K144Hz HDR OLED… Hell, at one point I used to think that 60 FPS looked smooth too…

Anyway, that’s the end of my little rant. You can go ahead and downvote me now.

Edibles are actually weaker. They last longer, yes, but the stomach can’t process THC as effectively as the lungs can.

The reason why you got higher is because you don’t normally smoke/vape 200mg of THC concentrate in your sessions. That is a lot of THC; I can assure you that if you were to dab 1/5th or of a g in a single session, you’d get a lot higher than you would from eating the same amount. It just wouldn’t last as long, but would be a lot more intense than an edible of the same dosage.

I’ve always hated this supposed paradox, because how is it possible for a hotel with infinite rooms to be full? Even with infinite guests, there will always be room for more. Because, you know, there are infinite rooms.

Agreed. Never had any desire to have kids, still don’t. (The wife wants them, though.)

That said, when we had a pregnancy scare last week, my first thought was “well I’m 36; guess it’s time anyway”.

She was not pregnant. Which was relieving, because I don’t think it’s a wise decision to have children in today’s political landscape. That said, if it happens, it happens. I don’t think I’d have a meltdown over being a dad like I would have in my 20s.

“Fucking” would be funnier and more grammatically correct.

Don’t worry about those in the US. You’re not legally required to pay a ticket that was mailed to you. It has to be physically served to you by a public servant, like a police officer or a process server. You can literally just throw away the ticket and nothing will come of it. The police do not have enough resources to pursue people who get flashed by the radar cameras.

Congrats on staying in shape. My body is falling apart at 37, because I didn’t take care of myself.

Even more-so because although they last longer, I find that tolerance also kicks in faster.

There’s also the lower bioavailability of edibles to factor in. I can get as stoned from as little as 150-200mg of vaped or dabbed concentrate (which is a lot, mind you, cause we’re talking about 80-98% pure THC, here; so much so that flower doesn’t get me high at all anymore, even if I smoke 3 fatass blunts in a row). With edibles it takes 500-600mg+ for me to feel anything. Edibles are limited to 100mg per package where I live, so I have to buy concentrate and make my own.

So that being said, even though the high lasts longer, it’s also weaker and requires me to spend a lot more to switch to edibles. Tolerance also kicks so fast that if I use edibles two days in a row I won’t get high the second day, even with a massive 900mg+ dose. Given that 900mg of vaped THC will last me almost an entire week, I only consume edibles on special occasions.

As a daily cannabis user, I literally do not get hungry on my own anymore.

But I’m still fat cause all I gotta do is take 8 or 9 rips off the dab rig, and next thing I know I’m raiding the fridge at 3am and cooking up a feast fit for a king.

It’s especially annoying when the GF wants to go out to eat. Cause then I gotta sneak out of the restaurant to take a “bathroom break”, because she hates weed. Thankfully she’s nose blind enough now that she no longer smells the cart on my breath. But she notices when I dab every time, so I leave that shit at home in the balcony closet, which I’ve converted into a little smoking room so I can take care of my head at night after she goes to bed (Edit: Yes she’s aware of the smoking room. I only wait until she’s asleep out of consideration cause I hate getting judgemental looks when I walk back into the house stoned off my ass.)

Needless to say, I really gotta take a T-Break. But it’s so difficult to do so when you rely on it to eat, sleep, and keep your blood pressure low.

Currently a 350Z Roadster Touring. But in the past I’ve had a Genesis Coupe 3.8 BK1, an RSX Type-S, a 3rd gen Eclipse Spyder GT, a second gen 240SX, and an eighth gen Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. All with a manual, of course.

• In my teens and early 20s I used to enjoy snowboarding. I was never any good at it, but at least I could make it down the mountain. Tried again in my 30s, and I could barely even stand on the board. Never made it off the practice hill.

• Getting in and out of cars is painful now. Especially since I drive 90s and 2000s Japanese sports cars, which have a tendency to sit so low that it feels like your ass is dragging on the pavement when you drive them. I have no idea how I’m going to be able to continue driving them 20, 30, 40 years from now. I don’t want a giant modern car. Even sedans are SUV-sized these days.

I fucking would if work from home jobs were still a thing. Hell, I can’t even find a work from an office job. I’ve been unemployed for three months. It was easier finding work in 2009, literally in the middle of the Great Recession.

When you’re rich enough to afford a supercar, traffic laws no longer apply to you.

Hell, here in the US there is a police shortage, so even if you’re not rich enough to afford a supercar, you can get away with a lot of traffic violations. Especially in California. Everyone drives 30+ MPH over the speed limit there.

And we still don’t have zoomable contacts.
