That’s my take. I use a CBD vape or oil for arthritis pain and it noticably makes a difference. The oil takes awhile to kick in but it makes me get pretty goofy at higher doses, even without THC in it.

Require a PSN account? My first thought was “arrrrr, not I!”

“Anything I don’t like is a tankie”, Lemmy politics equivalent to the right wing’s use of woke.

Followed by the 30,000x version of “they wouldn’t have died if they just did what the police told them!”

WarmSoda is just a contrarian. I’ve literally seen them argue two sides of an argument across different posts. I wouldn’t recommend seriously engaging with them, but they’re not very bright so it’s funny to get them to contradict themselves or make comically bad arguments.

Whenever there’s any question, I usually open with “sup, dogs” in my most serious voice, then continue to deadpan refer to everyone as dog, such as “and you, dog, I need to check the grist mill, thank you dog”. Fifteen years in and no complaints so far.

Ugh, fucking Empress. What a transphobic piece of shit that one is.

Thanks for continuing to prove why weevils are the best beetles.

Or bleach. I can destroy 100% of cancer cells in vitro with a common household chemical that only costs pennies!

I do notice users here snapping back at jerks a lot more.

If I did this as a private citizen, it could carry criminal charges. If a corporation does it, maybe they’ll get fined.

It was for some. I’m an eighties kid. In English class from middle through high school, we’d read literature and there were questions literally entitled “critical thinking” that would make you think critically about the excerpt.

Now it wasn’t super deep critical thinking. We weren’t asked to examine the role of race in American society, the merits and failures of capitalism, the patriarchy, or any of the really big concepts that affect society. It did attempt to teach us to critically think about new information, although few students took it seriously. Anti-intellectualism runs deep in the United States.

Science classes taught us to evaluate the validity of sources of information. Even more than English class, though, science classes were scoffed at by students with the oh so common line of “I’m not going to be a scientist, I don’t need this”. Now we have generations of science illiterates with no critical thinking skills. It figures.

I remember being a kid playing Morrowind and really wishing my friends could play with me.

Now I’m an adult and I don’t want to play with the kids. They have way more time to play and take my ass to the cleaners. After the umpteenth time getting tea bagged while some 13 year old goes on about fucking my mother, his voice breaking repeatedly throughout, I swore off multiplayer.

It’s always nice when people preemptively show you their entire ass and let you know you can just block them now.

That seems to happen all too often. A company does well and gets purchased by another company. The new company drastically lowers quality while retaining high quality prices and rides a wave of profits during that period before consumers figure out the company now makes garbage.
