We’ve created an environment where our option is a binary drink, not drink. Non drinkers are treated with suspicion. People who use other drugs are stigmatised. Little wonder sober socialising is problematic.

You cannot be cirrhosis with that amount of vodka lovers.

It’s already popular with a good userbase. Popular with idiots? Hopefully not.

Oh hell yeah brother

Imagine how dangerous it would be if motorbikes didn’t make that annoying whine. Those derestricted exhaust manufacturers are doing the lord’s work by alerting everyone to the presence of a bald and freshly divorced middle aged man in an ill fitting leather jumpsuit.

The problem with electric bikes is that they are too quiet to draw any attention to the rider. They will only be a success when they invent an obnoxiously noisy ebike.

That’s what I’m thinking. Take the best of Reddit and leave the toxic stuff. The source is open, after all.

Describe the work you are doing and the equipment you use. Talk about the fact that you have received training to use this equipment. You don’t need to say anything else. If your next employer wants you to be certified on their particular machines they will train you.

Not for profit would be its singular difference. The devs have attempted to recreate original Reddit and largely succeeded.

The aspects of it that could do with improvement are addiction potential. We shouldn’t have endless scrolling and perhaps have timers to limit exposure.

It’s still male dominated but generally non toxic for your average white guy in tech.

I feel blessed that I like my current job. Good manager, interesting work, limited amounts of bureaucracy. Most of this is a lucky coincidence but there are some things we can do. I had to explain many times to people which tasks I’m good at and which ones they should ask other people to do. I regularly defend this position. I set aside the morning for creative work only, no meetings, no admin, just thinking and solving. In the afternoon I down tools and do something physical, outside in daylight. A regular sleep cycle is absolutely critical for the maintenance of health and mood. Fresh food and companionship. Regular meditation. Do the basics well. These are the things that have made me happy.

Fear of rejection can manifest in this way. We can’t be rejected if we sabotage the relationship before the person finds out who we really are. It’s a sign of low self esteem and depression.

I struggled with this most of my life without knowing why, always feeling like I never measured up. Since being diagnosed and treated at 47 it made a huge difference. I set reasonable boundaries at work and I’m blessed with a sympathetic manager. He gives me tasks that allow me to play to my strengths and make a positive difference in the workplace.

The same story with psychedelic research, the promising results of the years leading up to prohibition were terminated from one day to the next.

We know that these substances are the only medication that is efficacious for treatment resistant depression and indicated for many other disorders.

The problem, as ever, is conservatives making choices they don’t understand for everyone else.

I like them used sparingly. There’s art to using just the right emoji in the right spot that conveys a message in a way that is difficult to achieve with text.

That orange party sure does win a lot of elections.

I had the same problem and ascribed it to the introduction of potent strains of ‘skunk’ weed at the time but I think cannabis in general was becoming toxic to my mental health. I’ve gone through this process with many substances and eventually realised I have an attention deficit which is treatable with stimulants. Lisdexamfetamine and caffeine are the only substances that are sustainable in the long term. Meditation helps too. I feel happy.

Yes but we’re talking about fireworks now. Have you tried adding fireworks to your food? Could be a huge win.

The silk road wasn’t taken down by an acronym. It was a bunch of hypocritical bigots called the American bureaucracy. They talk a lot about freedom but when they see something that promotes freedom like Wikileaks, south American socialism or the silk road, they seek to shut it down, often violently.

The people who believe that war criminals such as George Bush and Dick Cheney should be walking free and people like Julian Assange and Ross Ulbricht should be locked up, these people are our enemy.

Why didn’t the ACLU defend Ross Ulbricht? What about all the whistleblowers that have been imprisoned lately? Seems like there are better candidates than this guy.
