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.

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.

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.

That’s just sad.

Fun fact: If I use my 4G with a device that isn’t a phone, that’s against the terms of service and they can cut my access.

Awesome, that cuts the Steam update time till I can game down to under half an hour!

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?

Create one!

And they’ll all be back next week, simply because it’s the most convenient for them to drive to.

I do what I call “productive procrastination”.
I allow myself to procrastinate by doing something else instead that’s also necessary to do.
Of course, “necessary” is a slippery term.
But what definitely doesn’t fall under it is doom-scrolling, day-drinking and wikipedia rabbit holes.

This actually lets me be pretty productive throughout the day, as long as I have tasks I can push back endlessly.
Like, I haven’t brought my finances and investments in proper order in over 10 years.
Which probably cost me a 5-digit amount in lost profit over that time frame.
But I’m fortunate enough to not feel it and accept things like this as my ADHD tax.
It would take a couple hours, but would involve decisions and it never becomes urgent.

Then do thing A.

Hahaha, thanks that’s so easy!

You have got to be fucking kidding me!

I actually forgot to tell her my name when I asked for her number.
I basically saved it and fled.

“Can I have your number? I’d understand if you give me a fake one”

This is a lot less impressive when you rotate the image to the right.

I just don’t understand how an app that’s primarily a chat can fail at notifications and searching through the chat log.
