A couple things:

• Use keyword and community filters in Lemmy to clean up what’s presented to you.
• Use the “Not Interested” and “Don’t Recommend Channel” options in Youtube to cull the trash from your algorithm feed.

It will make your life so much more peaceful. Don’t let the algos just blast their firehose of shit at you. Tap your own stream of customized content by interacting with these tools instead.

Want to know another easy way to save costs on the workforce? We’ve all known this option since 2020. You close your brick and mortar office and let people work from home.

Red tuna and Salmon sashimi with wasabi and soy sauce. A bit of seaweed salad and miso soup on the side.

Got robbed at gunpoint by two dudes on a vespa there.

Never again. Naples is a dump.

If all you’re comparing it to is Windows then yeah, I guess.

I realized a while back that Alcohol just steals joy from the future and uses it up in the present moment, but the way it does so is on a rising curve of what I liken to joy debt.

A beer in the evening after a hard day of work isn’t really going to accrue any joy debt. No hangover, no real long-term negative effects.

A night out with moderate drinking, not to the point of intoxication, incurs a joy debt that you’ll likely pay for in the morning in the form of a headache. A strong coffee and a good breakfast pays off most of the debt but you’re still in the hole for a couple hours after. Frequent repetition of this incurs a sneaky kind of joy debt that slowly accrues over time and if not controlled will fuck up your health as you age, but can be reversed if you get things under control.

Getting proper drunk fucks up the entire next day. Basically an entire day of joy debt. Your rager last night was paid for by both your wallet and your well being the next day. God forbid this becomes a regular thing for you. One of the worst examples of joy debt I can think of is liver cirrhosis.

So yeah I agree, alcohol can help mood if you’re not the kind of person that gets angry when they drink but it can also indebt you in some really fucked up ways that sneak up on you pretty quick.

Oh shit! That’s absolutely brutal.

Good on you for not kicking the can down the road.

Hedonism rules. You should try it sometime.

I’m so lost. I feel like I’m missing something obvious here. Are you the horse? What does this mean?

Honestly, we’d be better off at this point.

Amen, brother.

They then proceeded to not innovate at all for a couple decades and now they’re serving cease and desists to any builders making guitars remotely similar to the Stratocaster with demands to recall and destroy sold guitars.

Fender is dogshit ass like Gibson. Both companies have behaved like entitled nepo-babies for decades. These companies deserve to die as punishment for their hubris.

I hate being so pessimistic that I agree wholeheartedly with this.

This needs to happen but I don’t have faith in the CRTC to do the right thing with the money.

Right?

Like, says who and on what historical basis? People said similar shit about crypto and we all know how that turned out.

Skyrim, babyyyyy!

I mean… If there’s any possibility of recovery on the table then you’ve got a hell of a lot to lose. 400k is life-changing money.

You will come to regret wasting your life on work.

There’s a steam plant for my local hospital about 300m from my house. When I’m in my basement trying to record drums, I can audibly hear when the plant is running. Super low, sub-50hz hum. It gets into all my mics.

Fortunately my bedroom is on the second floor of the house so the resonance doesn’t keep me up at night.

The original is my fav simply for the vibes. The music is great, the graphics are charming and the gameplay is simple and fun. Great expansion pack content too. I still have all the original CD copies from when I was a kid.
