  • Discs mean too much hassle. I'd have to rip them all prior to storing the movies on my harddrives. Streaming subscriptions are convenient, but too limited and they don't offer the best quality. IMHO, a download option is the best of both worlds.

  • Not necessarily. My 2015 SEAT (for folks in the North America: That's basically Volkswagen) is one of the latest cars that do not completely fuck you over. TPMS is passive, so you don't need expensive sensors. You can also update the maps on your own (OK, here they pull you over if you don't know the simple trick). Parts are also cheap.

  • Speaking for myself, but I think many other users would agree.

    I'm here for the same reasons I would be on Reddit. However, I refuse visiting the latter because of what happened (company, community and also my account which lasted 2 days before an inappropriate ban - for no postings, but subscribing to the wrong subreddits).

    I ignore reddit's network effect, in the hope that Lemmy does catch up a little. I hope there will be more active users in here at some point. And by now it doesn't look that bad.

  • At first, my anxieties became present to me, so I could work on them. Weed makes me think about my life, about things that bother me deep inside. It made me do further investigations. I had (to a point still have) to reprocess my life. It turned out, I'm traumatized because of people constantly refusing or bullying me in my past, because I never fitted in. And I had no clue, why.

    I used to keep distance to people and be a loner, until recently. Weed broke up some of these habits. I got my feelings back, after I used to refuse showing any emotion.

    I also learned, I have issues listening. I often changed my mind spontaneously without noticing - now I do notice and I learned to self-regulate better. I also didn't know noise (the overwhelm of too many sounds or voices) overloads my senses, and that's what triggers my aggressive behaviour or let me run away sometimes.

    Since I started smoking, I do easier meet people who understand me. That's also when someone at a party suggested I look 100% like having ADHD and I should do the test.

    I also noticed another effect when microdosing at work: It helps me focus and it temporarily brings back the energy when being exhausted from work. (This depends on the strain, of course. Amnesia or White Widow work great here). However, this comes with the risk of burning myself out, so I do it only when necessary.

  • There are two things that really help(ed) me:

    1. Starting to smoke weed daily, while moving to another city: It made me find out what has always beed wrong with me, and so I came to the diagnosis.
    2. Writing everything down, in a way my brain understands. I use a project management app, called Logseq, for that.
  • That's exactly my aim now. I overworked myself in past. Employers out here are living in the past, demanding 40h weeks. This really broke me several times with burnout depression. Now, in the job interviews, I tell them all that I will not work more than 35h, better: 32.

  • Not the smartphones themselves are addictive, but all these annoying social apps, advertisements and notifications are.

    There are ways around this. Kids should learn how to use their phones for managing their lives. And actually, they do at some point - to a degree.

  • The icecream and salad are fine at McD, but the rest of their so called food has always been awful to my taste. The fries taste like cardboard and the buns taste like Styrofoam. The feeling in my stomach told me, that this cannot be called food.

  • Logitech already offers a forever mouse for many years: G502. There is noting more to add to a perfect and lasting mouse.

    And now they want to reinvent the wheel? Sounds like this is already going wrong.
