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.

Weird 4:3 looking motherfucker

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.

The “housekeeper” was an unmarried woman who lived in the same house as the priest, often for life, and if she got pregnant, the Catholic church would financially support the baby.

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.

True, I can’t really afford the alternatives either. Which lead to me being active in the local clothes-sharing community, and I got a sweet deal with the local tailor: I manage her website and she changes/fixes my clothes for free, and lets me look through the clothes that never got picked back up from her shop regularly.

I actually like point-buy systems where you get better at what you actually use (like in Morrowind).
I start at average values in everything and see where the story takes my character.

That’s just sad.

Missing:

• god-like magical being, masquerading as Just Some Dude (closely related: The Super-Powered Self-Insert)
• Most boring, generic build available in the system, played ironically (“His name is Hugh M. N. Fi-Thor”)

I love how most comments on AI posts are just about it being AI.
Keep it up. Seize the memes of production!

That works much better for that meme, too.

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?

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

If you’re competing, yes obviously.
I run and cycle in cotton, linnen or wool, but I don’t compete anywhere.

Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.

I didn’t know it was the last time, and I don’t know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

Create one!

Doesn’t matter how happy the RAM supposedly was, you still pay for someone to cut it up into bytes and solder it into a chip.
No one needs RAM anyway, you can easily live off CPU cache and SSD space.

There’s simply no avoiding them

I’ve been avoiding them for 5 years now. It would be more accurate to say “It’s not easy to avoid them”. I don’t shop at “normal” clothing stores at all anymore.
