Oh…you know 😏

Espresso? 3pm?

When I was in my 20s I could have a triple shot machiato at 10pm and be asleep before 11…
Now, I’m spitting distance from 40, if I have a 3 to 1 mix of decaf to full fat coffee made with a drip filter (edit: past noon) I’m up til 3am…

Well…have you thought about addressing that catastrophic office alarm?

Rhetorical? I’m pretty sure you mean rhetorical not theoretical.
Yeah, I got that, but if we don’t say it, and keep saying it, and keep pushing for change… it’s not going to happen.

I think we all know why. Systemic racism, and the stereotypes that come about because of it.

Having done probably more than my fair share of coke, I can say that the person in that pic got some stomped shit, they should switch dealers because that coke is probably mostly meth.

Fair enough, it’s important to know what your potential speed bumps are.

Glad to hear that things are going good for you. On the whole, life’s pretty good for me too.

The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.

Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️

Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.

See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…

It basically boils down to the USA not wanting China to be the ones collecting all that data. Which is a bit tenuous. The owner of TikTok is ByteDance, ByteDance is registered in the Caymans, with global headquarters in LA and Singapore. The current CEO is a Chinese national, but lives in Singapore. TikTok does collect quite a lot of data, but the FB app collects at least as much. It’s a bit of Sinophobia.
My personal pet theory is the US alphabet boys have a deal with all the other social media giants for first pick of data they mine, and TikTok didn’t want to play ball.

This is just what I’ve kinda thought, it’s by no means absolute fact, and I look forward to hearing what other people think/know about it.

Yeah, could be, for 2 or 3 of the instances. There was a few times I was ill for over a week though, which is definitely food poisoning.

As I replied to someone else. I’m Canadian, but have friends and family in the States. I’ve had Arby’s 5x, and it’s delish…which is why it took getting food poisoning from Arby’s all over the damn country 5 whole ass times to stop eating there.

It’s one of the things that I like the most about lemmy over reddit. The reddit linux community was toxic, insular and gatekeepy, even as a moderately experienced linux user I had difficulty getting help.

“Learn how to Google noob!”

Fuck sakes, I just spent several hours deep diving forums and Web search results looking for an answer to my question, and the only thing I could find that was exactly my problem was concluded by OP editing their post to say “Ah, never mind, figured it out.” And not including the solution…

The struggle is real man ✊️

No worries 👍 always happy to have cultural exchange

We have the same saying in English:

The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions.

Edit: also my toe sis, mitosis, get it?

Smurfing prevented me from playing LoL and Dota2, impossible to get into a game when you can’t get off the ground, the opposition is made up of smurfs and half or more of your team as well, and you get shit on for trying to learn how to play.

“improper use of a hang signal”
