i had medikinet for a while, which has some deit-metamphetamines in it, it made me so sleepy it was difficult to get through the day :)

nope 😭 those also make me sleepy

the only things that give me energy are the lame af healthy diets, good sleep, exercise, and sunlight

i don’t think Doctor Who actually has a medical license

doesn’t work :( stimulants make me sleepy :(

there are so many links that i’ve clicked expecting to be horny that turned out to be IT server stuff >:|

if i was in their shoes and had the choice between -

1. no passport, can’t leave anywhere in a normal way

2. a passport that is incorrect, can’t move comfortably because details that don’t match can and will trigger alarms and put eyes on you

3. a passport from a place that isn’t ideal, but matches my details, and allows me to travel without drawing attention to myself

i’d pick 3 as well regardless if i liked my country of origin or not

things change with time, little bumps, little scratches, even if you don’t use something for a while and just leave it out in a room with access to sunlight it will change. maybe striaght out of the facotry they were all identical but your item can become unique literally the second you touch it, if you touch it hard enough

not here for sure, but Lemmy is not exactly a reflection of the general population

people are starting to grow numb to gen AI, and people have grown numb to worse things so it’s not exactly going to get undone easily

i’m ftm and my orgasms stayed pretty much the same

or scratching the right spot in your ear when it’s very itchy

none of the “smart” devices are actually smart. in my experience they’re really fucking dumb

i once bought a “smart” electric kettle because i thought it’d be nice to boil my water to exact temperatures for my teas. it had a little button on a little screen to turn it on

and of course the screen stopped working, and that was the singular thing that broke. if the kettle had a physical switch i’d have only lost the ability to boil to exact temperatures instead of becoming fully useless

a similar thing happened with my Quest VR. a singular smart thing broke (the proximity sensor) and it bricked the whole thing (the proximity sensor deteced, well, proximity, and input from that decided if the screen inside was turned on. when it broke, the screen never turned on. the proximity sensor could be disabled - but only from within the settings menu that required the screen to be on in the first place. there was no other way to disable it, and that setting reset every full shut down)

never had that happen with my non smart devices, never had a non-critical feature failing bricked my “dumb” machine. oh the proper graphics card melted in my laptop? whatever i just disabled it, it might not perform as it used to but it’s still functional and perfect for just browsing the internet or watching youtube

my dumb printer never just stopped for no reason, my dumb kettle with a physical toggle has been working perfectly for 3 years now, my dumb light bulbs only stop working when they’ve reached the end of their ability to make light, my dumb devices never refuse to work even when what they can do isn’t perfect anymore

i was already annoyed by so many devices being labelled as “smart” when they’re not, and now they’re also adding “AI” to those things… i hate it here

this can easily be solved with a simple timer

it’s a neurodivergence, literally being weird differently

sometimes it’s mostly good, sometimes it’s mostly bad, sometimes it’s balanced

nuh-uh

that video was posted like, 10 years ago at most, and you can’t convice me otherwise

oh, actually, there is a third option - very popular and widespread in Poland - BLIK - let’s hope that a) they won’t bend to the same bullshit b) they take the chance to go global.

BLIK is really nifty, you go to your banking app, generate a code, give the code to the website/seller, confirm in the app, and payment made.

and all you’ll have to say (obviously steortyping here) is that if BLIK does the same as Visa & Mastercard, the Witcher & Cyberpunk will have to be banned due to adult content, instant win and security of NSFW media forever

Collective Shout happened, an australian organisation decided to wage global war on anything NSFW in games (so far), their key talking points are allegedly being feminist and anti-exploitation of women.

i wonder if they asked the women they’re saying they’re protecting if they want that “protection”, or if they’re imagining that women just don’t make NSFW art
