Didn’t realize this was a recreational drug on it’s own; I always just knew it was synthesized in the liver when cocaine and ethanol are in the blood stream.

Well it WAS until you brought it up! >:(

That video is more of a (justified) takedown on sponsored content on Veritasium from 4 years ago and yeah, sponsored content sucks. I’m not saying that Veritasium is perfect, I’ll just have to keep an open mind while watching their videos going forward.

I’m surprised to find so much Veritasium hate on Lemmy. I always thought Derek and the team did a good job as far as edutainment goes. I also don’t like clickbait titles, but it’s worth noting that all of the videos are a real production with a crew of people who work full time and deserve to get paid.

There’s so many different jobs and situations out there, not everything is doom and gloom with employment or work. I assume you’re in school, which usually takes up just as much (if not considerably more) of your time commitment.

Depends on how wrong you’re willing to be.

I’ve got one of these. Aka Snowsky echo mini, fiio’s brand aimed at accessible/fun audio. It still has the pedigree of a higher end digital audioplayers, including a nice DAC and 4.4mm balanced output. Its also got a firmware update to be used as an inline DAC.

Qualms: lower end Bluetooth codec and lack of gapless playback.

I wouldn’t use it if Bluetooth was a must, but I’ve enjoyed using it with a cheap pair of IEMs.

Spicy hay got one point?

I understand the sentiment.

Even worse, when you explain these things to American citizens, they get defensive and will even justify the harm they have inflicted.

I doubt you’re going to find a consensus amongst Americans like that. We disagree on a lot of stuff, especially when you look at the younger(<35) crowd.

Like you say, the chickens are coming home. You’re probably going to see more and more fucked up stuff over the next few months. You don’t have to be sympathetic.

That’s Montgomery “Lightning” McQueen, you uncultured swine. [/s]

Also his eye is right there drooping under the windshield. He’s definitely seen some better days

Hell yeah, +1 for the guy with the weirdly shaped head

A lot of the “good advice” gurus just try to hype up the boring, well-known answer: get good sleep, eat well, minimize debt, diversify investments, etc. I appreciate it, it’s nice to have some motivation for doing things the “right way”.

I wish, I could get behind some hopeful conspiracy theories. “Things aren’t bad because people are greedy asshats, they just want you to see there’s a better way and look for alternatives” “The world order has been taken over by compassionate everymen, they just have to do bad things to keep up appearances”

New to Linux, what’s the fresh install process like? I understand the actual installation, but curious about the workflow of backing up, reconfiguring, etc.

Olive oil can go rancid and add off flavor to food. Use mineral oil instead. Some people also go with distilled coconut oil, but I still think mineral oil is the best choice.

OP, are you okay? You’re not making sense.

If sugar is on the left, and salt is on the right, what would be in the center?

There’s a lot of resources out there specifically for it. Depending on use case it may be impossible to 100% degoogle, but every bit helps.

Why would it be?

I assume by “being an introvert” you mean you have social anxiety. If so, start out by looking for things you need online, followed by your location. Many local businesses will have some kind of online presence, or at least a Facebook page. Check what businesses those pages follow or interact with. At least that way you’ll gain some background.

Buying local is ideally going to be a more social experience. You will start having to seek out local markets and meeting the people who provide their goods and services. You’ll also find it easier once you visit local places For example, the local brewery here hosts markets. Local supermarkets buy food from (relatively large) local farms. Smaller local farms work directly with local restaurants. It’s all interconnected.
