AB positive. 20/20. Don’t abuse that info pls.

Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.

I’m looking for evidence that this post is real. It is too perfect, like the stuff chatgpt produces. But I’m old and very cynical.

One alternative is her low IQ diagnosis was off. I suggest seeing someone to have that rechecked. If it turned out to be closer to the average 100 it could make her feel more positive about her own potential.

Speaking from my own experience here is my method.

1. Start by accepting that you will suffer, but think of the suffering like having a bad cold or the flu. You’ll hate it but it will pass.

If you are quite a light smoker (handful per day) I would just quit and ride it out. If things get really bad allow yourself 1 but no more. You’ll be surprised how quickly the worst cravings go away after a week.

If you’re a heavy smoker take more of a run up to it, as follows.

Put off the first smoke of the day for as long as you can. E.g. if you usually smoke as soon as you get up then hold off until after breakfast. Next Day try for just before lunch, and so on over a week or so. Try to also put a gap between eating and smoking. Once you are down to a few a day then do the cold turkey thing.

The trick is actually not buying more cigarettes. If you have them till probably smoke them. But if not, that barrier helps.

I smoked from about 19yo until I was in my early thirties (about 1 pack per day). I also spent the nights smoking a lot of spliffs as well (that’s weed with rolling tobacco). Now I only smoke Weed when I go down to see my friends which is like twice a year. I bring back enough tobacco to make 3 or 4 small roll ups which gets me through the come down over the following week. Then it is done.

Quitting the first time is fuck hard but the cravings pass. Now I find it quite easy because I’m used to doing it.

Good luck. You can do it.

I feel like so many of the asklemmy questions are covert methods to profile users, so I never give real answers.

Nope. All spiders are called Boris. Even the girl spiders.

Doom?

Do those engines lie if you just ask the question; what is your AI engine called?

Or are you only able to look at existing output?

Recognise

I judge anyone who misses the letter G out when they say the word “recognise”.

• No forfeit when only 1 goal down.
• Less hero, more teammate.
• This is rocket league.

This was always what he intended. Get people to quit instead of paying redundancy when he has to reduce the work force. Classic stuff done by many big orgs over the years. Make the place shit to work at and people quit for you.

Bingo. I also suspect they’re gambling on it being a failure. Hard ball behaviour if true but a failure of such a privatisation would be very high profile and likely put a stop to anything similar for a long time.

Also note that failures to meet agreed standards will have penalties so it might be possible for labour to force them out that way.

These are great, but there is a surprising lack of dicks.

Ok so I just watched that with the audio off cos I’m in a waiting room. I was confused by the commentary. The words sort of fit, then I realised the subs were song lyrics. Arguably made it even more fun to watch.

What you need is a metal rod suspended by magnets. You can put all the chokers on it like hoops on a pole. Then you can just take from one end and put back at the other. Or sort through them I suppose.

Westworld (Season 1). The other seasons are good and have great moments but season 1 is special.

My server has been on Endeavour OS (arch with a gui installer) for at least 18 months. I run updates roughly every 10 days (basically whenever I remember). Never had a problem with it. I dare say it could go horribly wrong at some point so I keep the LTS kernel installed as well just as a fall back.

My main pc is also running Endeavour OS (dual boot with windows 11). Other than having to keep Bluetooth downgraded to support the ps5 dual sense controller, it runs great.

My only gripe is that updates often contain something that forces the kernel rebuild process and so it needs a reboot afterwards.

Every other Linux I’ve run has had some sort of “rebuild to fix” type issue at some point, or had been hard to find good support information for. Endeavour OS has been the most reliable and the easiest to fix and find support for.

I’ve had the Billie Eilish’s new album on loop recently. But before that I’d usually have some Floyd or god machine on.

I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.

We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional “left/right” terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.

I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.
