Something weird I’ve been noticing. Lately I’ve been unintentionally minimizing comments before I’ve finished reading them. Just happened with yours. It’s like some subconscious part of my brain goes “booorrring!” half way through reading anything longer than two sentences and immediately goes for the next dopamine kick.

And I’m not knocking your comment. I was genuinely interested in what I was reading. It’s just a little troubling. I dropped Reddit and Lemmy a while back because I felt like I was becoming addicted. I lasted a few months, but evidently I’ve fallen off the wagon.

Dang, I guess it is too late then. I was really hoping my call to action would come any day now.

Funny, I assumed it was about millennials.

My go to has always been the emergency stop in the elevator.

Most people in the military feel the same. Everyone I knew when I was in hated being thanked for their service. Most didn’t join to serve their country, they joined for the benefits that come with it.

He’s probably got a hog on him

It’s hyperbole, yo. It’s just funny because people born in the previous century don’t really think of it as that.

Great explanation, thanks

Can you elaborate? I googled the right hand rule, but I’m not seeing how it applies to screws.

Ah, there it is. I was focused on the wrong thing

What’s different?

I know the feeling. A few months ago I randomly got a video call from my boss. Both he and the owner of the company were in the line. They let me know that they unfortunately had to let go of almost everyone on the dev team. Some funding had fell through (gotta love startups). Fortunately, I got to keep my job that day, but I can’t shake the feeling that another layoff is right around the corner.

It’s not real, that’s the Mediterranean sea.

And it’s the best substance don’t you worry

It’s hard to explain. At least for me, it helps me see things from another perspective. I work in web dev, and one of my favorite activities is to smoke a little bit, then work on my side projects. Some of my best work has come from my hyper focused, high, programming sessions.

Weed really kinda follows you wherever you take it. If you wanna veg out on the couch and watch TV, it’ll facilitate that for you. If you wanna go down a research rabbit hole on some obscure topic, it’ll facilitate that just fine too.

My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they’re overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don’t want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.

Nope, it hasn’t been legal for some time.

Edit: Sorry, I was thinking of medical insurance. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act doesn’t apply to life insurance.

Looks like kowloon walled water park

I just push the bittons around in a circle motion till I find it

You could use your twm within kde or xfce. I’ve never done it, but people who have seem to be happy with it.
