Seriously: if they take away our self checkout, we riot.

The one that blew my mind the most was finding out that calories are calculated by setting the food on fire, and then measuring how much it can heat water. Calories are literally just a measurement of how well something burns.

Sourdough with a jalapeño cheddar cream cheese filling would be even better! Kind of like how the Asian bakeries do it. So creamy and delicious.

Exactly. It’s not a red flag until one’s actions spill over into the real world. An overwhelmingly majority of people who play violent video games and “torture” AI are not going to become serial killers.

I don’t worry worry about the person who enjoys violence in the digital realm. I worry about the person who finds no satisfaction from digital violence, so they move onto harming insects and small animals, eventually humans if left unchecked. That’s who we should be focusing our energy on.

Seriously, she beat the system twice. I feel like she earned her freedom at this point.

Not if you want low lacency.

IMO your main concern should be about what country the VPN is based out of (and their privacy policy) more than where the servers are located. But then again I suppose it all depends on what kind of activity you’re using your VPN for.

Stimulants like Adderall, PEA, Octodrine, and Propylhexedrine are a half decent band-aid, but they raise my blood pressure and make me feel “tweaky” so I don’t want to take them every day. They feel like they’re slowly killing me. I mean imagine taking meth every single day. That’s what it feels like for me. Unfortunately since tolerance builds rapidly, I have to take massive doses for it to continue working, further compounding the problem.

So I try not to take stims more than a few times a month, because even once a week is too much for me. It sucks ass that there’s no long-term solution for ADHD. Just temporary fixes that rapidly stop working.

Me. I have a phone mount installed in the shower. I need my dopamine receptors to be constantly stimulated from artificial sources, or I can’t accomplish basic tasks like cleaning/showering/cooking. Executive Dysfunction is a bitch.

People with normal dopamine levels just can’t relate, so I get a lot of flack and am often called lazy. Which is annoying as hell because I genuinely want to be a functioning adult, but my stubborn brain just refuses to let me accomplish anything without external stimulation. It’s torture being labeled something you’re not, just because someone can’t understand what it’s like when your brain won’t make the reward chemicals on its own. But it is what it is.

Also BTW I’ve been doing this for a decade and only once has a phone actually died on me from water damage. So I don’t worry about it. I’m clumsy so I always have an insurance plan for my phones regardless…

Why would Voyager include such a pointless limitation?

I still can’t. :(

Guess it’s time to replace Voyager…

Interesting. I never heard of that before.

I agree but sometimes one does not simply “stop” getting pets. The Cat Distribution System is very effective. That’s how I ended up with a tux a full decade after I said no more pets. I mean how can you say no to this dorky derp?

I know it was a joke but it had a question in it that I knew the answer to, so I was compelled to reply.

Scrapyards pay $1.50/lb for aluminum

Tell me you’ve never struggled before without telling me that you’ve never struggled before.

Like the other person said, they’re likely taking it to a metal scrapyard for easy cash. You get 10¢/lb for steel, $1.50/lb for aluminum, and $5/lb for copper. If you own a pickup truck, you can make a decent chunk of change in a day of simply driving through alleyways and backroads and picking up whatever bits of metal you find along the way.

“An Hilarious”?

I suppose they decided to add the word “hilarious” at the last minute, completely forgetting to change the “an” to an “a” before printing it.

I remember having that moment with my dog when I was a teenager. I became suddenly aware of his mortality when he was only a few years old and held him while I cried. Unfortunately that didn’t make saying goodbye any easier 10 years later but I’m glad I got to have the moment with him.
