Or “PutErUpWhere”

What is the “I’m being sarcastic” emoji?

Are you advocating tags for all inflections of verbal speach or just sarcasm?

I left Private Internet Access (PIA) for Proton VPN after the Kape acquisition years ago. Still happy with my decision and I recommend Proton VPN to anybody in the market for personal VPN services.

You aren’t necessarily wrong. Have you ever seen Friends without a laugh track?

Women are not good for the update.

I think my phone just let slip that might be what save us from the AI uprising.

I feel like this applies to all social media. Why single out Lemmy? Do you feel it is more toxic than other social media sites? Do you have any examples of the type of toxicity you feel are most prevelant, along with where (community / instance)?

Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.

The month is Compuary, which is a new cyber-month they added just for doing hacker stuff.

A what now? To do what again?

And they do sex stuff up there as well.

Infiltrate the dome and take out Harvard Pubence, the president of cops.

Tonight, Pubence is guest of honor at the 9th annual Rich Perverts’ Ball.

Seriously, I need to read this book or my life may never feel complete!

Would you be okay with non-smoked marijuana usage like vapes, edibles, tinctures, drinks, etc?

I’ve got my Plex server running on an Intel NUC 8 with 2 USB 2TB solid state drives serving as local storage for my media.

One method was the use of candle clocks.

I did this when I was younger through a couple of staffing agencies. Jobs ranging anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks with various rates of pay. I cleaned stores and their parking lots, parked cars, performed data entry, emptied trucks, performed inventories, etc.

I haven’t used these agencies in many years, but I assume that they are still around and providing the same services.

20 year shelf life, but looks like it went out of stock in 2019 😭

It sounds like you are describing depression. Here are some things that help me when I get to feeling like this. It’s not easy to do when battling with low energy and a lack of motivation, but they help.

• Do more outdoor activities. Normally in the form of walks, or biking to nearby locations instead of driving.

• Drink more water. Basically, I just have a glass of water before drinking anything else.

• Eat better. Nothing too extreme, I make an effort to prepare more foods at home and include more vegetables.

• Change things. I’m not talking about a life change. Rearrange furniture, put up some different wall art, change your lighting, swap out the background images on your computers and / or mobile devices, etc.

• Spend time with your thoughts. I would try to spend about 15 minutes to an hour each day sitting in silence, with no distractions. I don’t force any thoughts. I just wait to see what bubbles to the surface. It usually helps me identify problem areas that I need to focus on.

It is also possible that you have started down a life path that you feel you are “supposed” to pursue and not necessarily a path that you want to pursue.

It could also be that you are burned out between school, work, and social obligations. Making more time for yourself or taking some time off, if that is an option, might help.

Here’s my theory that is based on no research whatsoever:

Cigarette companies used to pay to have characters smoke in movies and TV shows. This would cultivate a social acceptance and “cool factor” around smoking. During the 80s and 90s, this practice came under fire and smoking in movies and TV dramatically dropped to the point of almost being non-existent.

Then time passed, vaping became popular, and people stopped caring about the impact of normalizing or even glorifying smoking. So the practice of paying studios to have characters smoke started to return. Nobody said anything, so it is becoming common place again.

It doesn’t matter if it is unhealthy, it is profitable.

I would think magnets.

They used in dynamos to generate electricity, in motors to convert electricity into mechanical energy, they are used to hold items together, plus I’m sure many more technical use cases that I am not aware of.

When all your stress and worries melt away.
