  • What are your best tips for falling asleep?

    Jump

  • I couldn't sleep for decades until I started listening to audiobooks. It's a bedtime story. Shut your mind off, let go of stress and just listen. It can still take a little while but now I fall asleep in minutes instead of 3 hours. It also helps me go back to sleep if I wake up from nightmares.

    Women are already sexy, but if they turn out in historic levels to destroy Trump they will somehow become even sexier

    Jump

  • Expand your depth of caring about women beyond sexy.

  • A stranger cuts off your arm. Choose to have a positive attitude to that. Get therapy. Decide it was really for the best after all. Enjoy your delusions. Is it a really a choice? Or is deluding yourself the only way you can live with it? I'm starting to think it all boils down to 'suppress all negative feelings and tell yourself everything is fine'.

  • How many users have you blocked?

    Jump

  • About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn't appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don't have time for the stupid and hateful kind.

  • What could I do with the digital screens from discarded vapes?

    Jump

  • I'm duly impressed that it lasts that long and at that rate the screen may be justified.

  • What could I do with the digital screens from discarded vapes?

    Jump

  • I have rechargeable vapes. I have never seen one with a screen and I am already annoyed by the the lights that they all have. I stopped using the one that vibrated because why the fuck would I want that? I just need a cheap nicotine delivery system and putting a screen on it is peak pointless tech imo.

  • Trump floats ending the federal income tax. Here’s what that would mean

    Jump

  • Replacing income tax with a consumption tax (tarrif) sounds like a great way to reduce spending and wasteful consumption. Crashing the US economy is one way of doing degrowth, I guess.

  • They're a different species, so it's cool to eat them

    Jump

  • Are 'don't walk on the grass' signs speciesist? I feel like it's unfair that the other animals are allowed and i'm not.

  • Trump supports Israel and would happily nuke Palestine. You are completely daft.

  • Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?

    Jump

  • The Oubliette reminds you that the web does not forget..

  • What could I do with the digital screens from discarded vapes?

    Jump

  • Yes, but the battery has a purpose, the screen is wholly unnecessary.

  • Why would a vape have a screen, that's insane waste

  • This but without the ADHD to blame it on.

  • A box of Cadbury's Favourites reveals a lot about the 'high-low' cycles of supermarket pricing

    Jump

  • Did anyone not know this? Only buy non perishables on sale or you are being massively ripped off. Especially toiletries and cleaning products.

  • In the California desert, residents are struggling with the influx of massive solar projects

    Jump

  • Residents worry about the project’s dust, the potential spread of Valley Fever from fungal spores that could be stirred up and their properties losing value. The project’s water assessment found it could result in a deficit of 300 acre feet of groundwater—typically enough for 600 California homes—meaning more water would be coming out of the local aquifer than goes in.

    They're not trying to stop it but they want negative impacts mitigated. This seems reasonable.

  • Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)

    Jump

  • I googled that

    Did you mean: xiuhcoatl

    Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?

  • Global study reveals people, including those most affected by climate change, do not understand climate justice

    Jump

  • It is ironic that research tends to be limited to what people in more affluent regions believe about climate change and climate justice. Citizens of frontline i.e. climate-vulnerable countries, are largely confined to being the subjects of climate discourse, as opposed to active participants. The unbalanced discourse matches the inequalities that characterize climate change itself.">

    How is this ironic? Climate change is due to the actions of people in more affluent regions, it is the actions and attitudes of these people that need the most change, whilst people in vulnerable countries are subject to climate changes they have little to no effect on. Unfortunately many of those affluent people refuse to take any responsibility, instead claiming to be subject to the whims of big business and the super rich, as opposed to active participants. Climate justice is a nice thought but it's not going to happen.

  • Only a fifth of Canadians younger than 50 plan on having kids: POLL

    Jump

  • It only surveyed people who don't have children. Says on the left 'Do not have children, n = 1300'. This result says nothing about the general intention to have children as those with children in each age group are excluded. Naturally, as people age, the number who still think they're going to have children goes down.

  • MIT review selling a horrifying dystopia where an AI will monitor your rectum 24/7 and you repair your own fridge using AR glasses and haptics or something

    Jump

  • Selected quotes:

    Well before you were born, you were known to the algorithm.  You’ll realize that images of yourself are a kind of social currency.  An unobtrusive bracelet or smart watch tracks your performance. Kids often tell him AI-enabled technologies are … creepy. It tells you when you’re near In-N-Out. Later on you realize that you were the only real human in that entire room. Everybody else was AI. You might be able to rent out each of your fingernails as an ad for social media. The home will finally be what Le Corbusier imagined: a machine for living in. What is the plan for tomorrow? They know ahead of time, even before you do, that you’re thirsty. Perhaps it’s better to let the toilet or the mirror do the tracking continuously. Faraway loved ones can visit by digital double.

    But by now, maybe the agent is no longer your friend.

    Maybe, at last, it is you.

    If you have a digital twin, we hope it’s not a deepfake. 

    No thanks.
