“One of the things people need to understand is that many people self medicated using nicotine.”

This is a given. Most people self medicate with alcohol and tobacco.

A lot people don’t want to be a statistic for side effects either. Here take some hydroxyzine, but hey it may cause you to be hyper aggressive. Sounds too similar to hydrazine.

I don’t know if it seems more rational to use something that’s been around forever.

Mannerströms Surströmming. It’s fine, the party will leave and I’ll eat it by myself again.

I had to switch to that lol. Called work sorry I’m late, it was 2 am.

I’m kind of surprised to see the reddit like worship of steam here. As someone who has a 23 y/o account, a week into release; I don’t really have that many positive things to say. Like it’s okay, scraping the barrel okay. It could be worse isn’t something to banter around. 1.7 Billion in revenue in September is like cheering on Walmart.

Sold out already to a certain federal institution.

Truck-kun was the villain in this isekai. A new sub-genera was created that day.

Solid point. Part of it is a blame game as well. I try to stress how local policies are important. Yet you will still have politicians that will state they will do whatever to overturn popular vote. I mean take pot for example, 41/50 states and it’s only getting a reclassification.

I agree. Most modern cars are a nightmare in more ways than one. Though a 60s Mustang wouldn’t be as expensive as you think to convert. It’s like my Jeep. People have put in Cummins engines in them.

“I have a colleague with two kids, who’s actually not unhappy about something being done to try to prevent children from accessing the internet unfiltered.”

You know I really hate this kind of bullshit. I question if it’s a psyop at this point. When I was in school, they had this censorship thing, it was a stupid fucking dog as their logo, very fitting with the current news. I taught my friends how to bypass it. This was grade school. And I was teaching them how to use proxies, we we’re just browsing the net so ignore security. Had the school IT call us out on this lol. I mean I started with using a 64 MB flash drive running whatever was the smallest linux version to realizing I could just run TOR off that flash drive.

I’ve had plans to convert whatever car I have for like 15 years–and yes I’ve done my research, my friend helped me and he has a doctorates in electrical engineering so it’s more involved. I have a Jeep wrangler for that reason. The potential solutions for conversion are crazy now. At this point it’s cost. So the counter to your statement, if you manually convert you end up with a RC car instead of a surveillance system. Tech has advanced so fast that, you can ask why did I hesitate? Because of simple things like using lead acid batteries got quickly overtaken by lithium variations. Hybrid combinations are solutions as well. And heh… I’ll give you a kek for the $5 a gallon, it’s a bit more than that now.

The name was a reference to the lettuce thing. I’ve had doctors ignore crucial details. I do have some medical training, just enough to help until someone better arrives. Last time I was a hospital, me needing a cpap machine was ignored and I had to tell the, what assumed, nurse in training how to set up my IV… after they fucked it up 4 times.

Teach me the art of fart bending.

Oh boy at least you didn’t forget that you put some vinegar to descale your water container. Now that was a breath of fresh air.

Heh things have been slowly getting back to normal after the lettuce thing. I do take a natto supplement. But yeah news media totally downplayed that outbreak. On the positive note there was plenty of old underwear I needed to throw away.

I have no intention to buy a new car. It’s not even the privacy part but it’s crazy how perverse it is.

I didn’t know that þ is still used lol

Anyway that aside, “smart” appliances are a nightmare. They’re also a surveillance tool.

I wish I could but I can’t trust a fart anymore =/

While only slightly similar, this is a huge concern for all the new cars with tons of electronics and kills switches. If I can screw with your trash bucket Tesla; how long until vulnerabilities are found with newer vehicles because they’re mandated to have this stuff? I get this is a mostly US issue but something tells me this will spread.

From my experience a doctor isn’t any better.

I was joking a bit but I think they’re great in more than one way. It’s like once you start putting together MG or higher then it’s not just a toy anymore, especially if you start doing the modifications or lights. It helped me with mobility when I broke a couple fingers last year. The funny thing about gunpla is I was shopping in Akihabara and there were Japanese businessmen buying them, and I mean with grey hair. Even the clerk, who also was older, was like ‘oh Gundam’ heh

Next time I go, I will get as many special editions as possible.
