I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

That isn’t true, though. Getting high every day will add another problem on top of those you already have.
It reduces your capacity to change things and your capacity to cope with what you can’t change.

That being said, if your pain is physical and chronic, you basically have no other choice but to take drugs.
And weed is one of the better options for dealing with chronic pain.
But then ideally you should do it under medical supervision, and not with the goal of knocking your brain out, but making the pain manageable so you can live your life.
This would likely mean not to smoke lots of weed with lots of THC, but consuming smaller doses of slower-acting edibles with a higher CBD amount.

Weird 4:3 looking motherfucker

It’s actually ed .

if you don’t wanna create emissions, just use solar power.

If you have access to solar power, it would be better to use it for something else, or feed it back into the grid.
As long as we’re still burning fossil fuels to create electricity anywhere on earth, wasting any kind of energy is bad.

Crypto has a price (because people believe that it has a price).
It doesn’t add any value to anything. It’s expensive (in terms of energy cost) and absolutely, 100% useless.

Yes you should.
I’m afraid your parents are Angelsachsen.

Pro Pedalo racing was banned after what happened at the 1978 World Cup finals in Hockenheim.
Most of the survivors are still in a wheelchair today - and suffering from severe PTSD.

The fixie hipster crowd would have been all over them.
SO MINIMAL

Hopefully

Counter-point:
crypto-mining should be illegal, period. (and so should AI)
We’re on the brink of climate collapse, we as a species can’t afford to waste massive amounts of electricity on something that literally creates no value.

True, I can’t really afford the alternatives either. Which lead to me being active in the local clothes-sharing community, and I got a sweet deal with the local tailor: I manage her website and she changes/fixes my clothes for free, and lets me look through the clothes that never got picked back up from her shop regularly.

My mother hates mother’s day. Instead I invited her over a couple days ago and made Tapas.
She asked for the recipe of the Aioli I made, which is the biggest compliment I got all year.

Today I’m just trying to restore myself.
Yesterday, I did a 40 mile bicycle tour in the morning, went to a beer festival with co-workers and got pretty drunk in the afternoon, slept from 8pm till midnight to kinda sober up, then helped organize a rave till 8 in the morning. At the end, everyone who saw me asked if I’m OK.

They’re also rewriting history in Idiocracy (It’s actually a key story element at the end).
“They’re pitting us against each other” is one of the most important aspects in 1984.
And “They’re distracting us with entertainment” is literally at the core of Hunger Games.

That’s just sad.

it would entirely solve this problem

Welches Problem?

I love how most comments on AI posts are just about it being AI.
Keep it up. Seize the memes of production!

That works much better for that meme, too.

I’m kinda trying to get back to how it was in the past a bit.
Realize that life happens outside of the internet, and I don’t need to read a stream of news from the other end of the world that I can’t do anything about and don’t affect me yet.

symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands

So, Jesus “giving his own life” (for 3 days) is a huge deal, and a huge sacrifice, but then God kinda “volunteers” Corey Comperatore to die for Trump, without asking?

If you’re competing, yes obviously.
I run and cycle in cotton, linnen or wool, but I don’t compete anywhere.

Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.
