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.

That’s just sad.

I’m kinda trying to get back to how it was in the past a bit.
Realize that life happens outside of the internet, and I don’t need to read a stream of news from the other end of the world that I can’t do anything about and don’t affect me yet.

Unfortunately, you can’t see BENTHIC live.
They don’t have a tour planned.

It would be enough to prove I have a working perpetuum mobile and become rich.

Create one!

Phone battery. Then I could modify the phone to let it power other devices and have unlimited electricity.
With a full tank of petrol, I’d create pollution if I tried that.

You probably have several products in your home delivered by a fleet of nuclear powered ships.

Not by choice though.
I only buy local, from Europe where I live, or used.

Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is nuclear.

Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is using less energy.

And the new reactors are safer than the ones that come to mind with melt downs.

And container ships aren’t known for being in line with current safety standards in anything.
They’re operated out of whatever island has the lowest taxes and least regulations, built by the lowest bidder and often crewed by people who don’t share a commmon language.

Holy fuck no!

I applaud your optimism. But anyone resisting ICE with armed force will be killed by a SWAT team and immediately branded a terrorist by all the media.

WTF can you link this?

There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.

Then provide an “other” option with a text box instead.
Make entering some text mandatory if you click it.
No one gravitates toward that.
Besides, a “none” option can just be discarded when you analyze the data.
If all your boxes are social media sites, you have no idea which ones are poisoned by bad data, and by how much.

Didn’t Trump’s tariffs remove the unfair advantage of foreign cars so now superior US-made cars dominate the free market because they’re the best?
And Tesla’s cars, with their Full Self Driving™ technology are literally 20 years ahead of the competition, so why aren’t people buying them??
I don’t understand!

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.

Or if you’re ambitious, you practice in front of the busiest footpath and get all of the embarrassment of failing in front of an audience out of the way early.
So nothing can phase you later when you perform.

You can adjust the stand and immobilize the people.

In Catholic Church politics, he was the middle-of-the-road candidate.
On the one side, he protected priests who sexually abused children.
But on the other side, he was never caught diddling kids himself.
A true moderate.

Anti-vaxxers legitimately believe that vaccines do harm. I don’t think that’s comparable.

Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.
