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.

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?

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”
worked on my wife.

The printing press. The monster’s blood would be spread out over 70000 newspapers.

Damn, she’s HOT!!! 😍🤩🥵

Yes, civilization ends if the power is out for weeks.
The politicians have thought of this, but “people can’t pay for groceries anymore” isn’t the top priority.

The situation will be like a war zone or a failed state. If the government can’t restore power, its money will also be worthless, electronic or not.

Will Lays corpos kidnap me from my country to drag me in front of a US court?
I mean, at this point, it wouldn’t surprise me. Just thought Disney would do it first.

Kinda hard to calculate the proprietary software since I pay for it yearly

It counts as a 90s game, but not an early 90s game.
Games really started to get much, MUCH better in '94 and '95.

Especially collecting rain water on your own property.
“Fun” fact: In a lot of communities, the right to all rain water was sold to a private corporation, so collecting it privately is theft.

Unless the employer is German

A job interview is a conversation, not an interrogation.
Ask as many questions as your potential future employer does, and don’t put yourself below them.
You are equals negotiating whether you want to enter into a business partnership.

This achieves several things:

• First, you learn more about what working with them will be like, when you actually ask.
• Second, if they react negatively and try to establish a position of dominance over you, well then you know that they’re like that.
• Third, it’s a good way to fight stage fright and feelings of insecurity. This is not a test you pass or fail. Or rather, the other party is equally likely to fail your expectations.
• Lastly, and most importantly, it communicates an air of confidence, which actually makes it much more likely you’ll land the job if you want it.

Being timid and submissive makes you look desperate, which is not a good look, and will likely lead to a lower salary as well.

Oh god, those old adventure games.

Where doing things in the wrong order (which was explained nowhere) would lead to permadeath, or worse, getting stuck with no way to progress and no hint what you missed in a previous area you can’t return to.

All I remember from police quest is getting killed or fired for missing a step at a routine traffic stop, or forgetting to check the tire pressure every time you start driving.

In Leisure Suit Larry 1 you straight up get killed without warning if you step onto a street (run over by a car) or into a back alley (mugged and clubbed to death), or take a cab with wine in your inventory (cab driver takes it, drinks it and crashes).

Fun times!

NHL Hockey 95 was really good!

Can I combine this with my water-cooling setup?

I love this about lemmy.
Like someone stumbling into the wrong house and still being welcomed.
It’s a lot more informal and relaxed than on the piss page of the Internet.

Riding down a mountain road on a bicycle, going 50 mph, without a helmet on.
