I wonder how this also plays into other dopamine-related diseases such as Restless Leg Syndrome.

It's not that bad. For some reason, having to make a decision about what to eat for lunch was really stressful for me. Now I just do soylent and forget about it. (Now I just stress over what to eat for dinner...)

+1 for all the advice here, with one extra one: Make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet. Your muscles are getting torn up, and that's good - that'll make them grow back stronger! But only if you're getting enough protein to build them back. I boil up 6 of these guys at a time and pop two a day for breakfast for just a little extra protein: https://food52.com/recipes/35930-momofuku-s-soy-sauce-eggs

Why not hop over to an instance that has them defeded? Even if you block all their subs, you're still going to see all their users.

There was literally an article either yesterday or the day before with the headline "AI being used to ban books in Iowa" or something to that effect.

I think this guy from the article has the best take:

Marsden has handled dogs since the age of seven, and following a long career as a stockman in agriculture, has spent most of his life around working dogs, training collies, lurchers and greyhounds. “I think there is a growing problem now with owners not taking responsibility for their dog’s actions,” he says.

“Not everyone understands how to train them properly.”

He says there have been similar concerns about potentially dangerous breeds over the years, such as rottweilers and dobermans, and that banning a breed may only shift attention on to a new one. “You take these off people and the likelihood is they’ll just move on to something else.”

What’s the alternative? “We need to look at getting more licensed breeding, so there is more oversight into where these puppies are coming from ... People are bringing dogs in from other countries where regulations aren’t the same as they are in the UK.”

Why does chaotic-chaotic make more sense as a cuddle than purist-agnostic?

Generally better, but it's contextual. Someone saying with a surprised tone "It was pretty good" implies that it's better than good and better than expected, and that the person might not have expected it to be good. Someone saying with a muted or dull "It was good..." would be worse than "pretty good" and implies that it was acceptable but disappointing or mediocre.

Just more corpo talk trying to reduce their workers to simple tropes that can be 'managed' into perfect little worker bees. Anything to keep from having to treat workers like...gasp...complex human beings.

• The world: At war, on fire, collapsing before our eyes
• The world's governments: Falling to fascism and right-wing insanity
• People's rights: Slowly disappearing
• Capitalism level: Late-stage
• The future: Only going to get worse

But yeah, technology is why adolescents are unhappy.

I thought it was because turning the bird upside down makes it look like it's dead.

WTF did I just see, lol

It's terrible that Linus defederated from dbzer0

The article says that a lot of people catch fibers from their clothes, but like...I don't feel like my shirt gets into my belly button? I wonder if the survey from 2002 also took into account weight.

Post: Uses the word normies in a positive sense and literally says it's great that gaming is more accessible

Fediverse: Is this a neckbeard?

It's amazing that a non-slur single word can get y'all so fucking bent out of shape. It was worth a double take, but not shitting on the entire post. It's literally a post about a non-traditional gamer / not-power-user / etc person finding a sense of community and fun because of the rise of handhelds. Is shutting down that discussion over one word worth more than seeing the good in recent trends?

I hope we continue to see more good handhelds get made - I'd personally love a Steam Deck, but seeing Valve get some good competition would be good for the technology (not you, Apple / Meta). Maybe I'm just too old, but I'd love to see slide-out keyboards again...

This is lovely! An upgrades system would be really neat - like buying more cores, or bigger memory, or shooting users in the head when they don't log out after completing five tasks

Is it really safe to be standing that close to that thing?

Good - fuck Blizzard. They literally were like "We're going to OW2 for PvE! I promise we're totally not just doing it because we want to monetize it more!"

CentOS under the chair, lol. I still can't believe the fiasco with CentOS 8.
