Jet powering a drone that small is a bold move but with a talented pilot would be very impressive

I got a nasty ticket cuz I got way too into listening to "Brain Power" -_-

Considering how much medication can help, uh, yeah, do those things. Its a trivial inconvenience compared to living unmedicated.

Also 5k is a lot, maybe if you're uninsured? Hell, getting an uninsured MRI is cheaper than that. And health insurance is kind of a must for living with a disability.

Don't like sentiments like this. I feel like it prevents people from getting the help they need.

They went non-profit recently to specifically prevent this from happening.

Stopped using Discord a few months ago. Not for any specific reason, just felt like I wasn't using my time effectively. Anyone important added me on Signal, and then I deleted the apps from my phone and computer.

I can't put words to how much better my mental health has gotten.

This doesn't really relate to your comment, I guess, but just thought I would mention it in case anyone else is considering taking a break from the platform.

A decent stopgap could be to ship LiPo battery protection bags with every battery - they're comparatively cheap as hell and while they don't stop smoke (which was the issue in this case), they can greatly reduce fire spread and burn rates.

Holy shit. I do a fair bit of small electronics repair on the side, the cost of a decent heat pad is about half that of a 3d printer... This may be what finally inspires me to get a 3d printer.

I tried these Magnesium drink tablets while I was in Europe. Could feel how much it helped. Can't find anything similar in the States :\

You forget that the internet is indeed full of actual children

What does it mean?

Would be cool to do a census.

Except in areas where the air quality is so bad that the rain just ends up making your car dirtier :\

    The thing I don't get about masking is how it's any different from standard mental filtering most people do in casual and professional social settings.

    If I acted however I wanted whenever I wanted I wouldnt have many friends, let alone stay employable.

    Coincidentally, I have many autistic friends, who have explained the concept to me before - I still don't really get it, but I don't need to understand it to still respect my friends.

    But internally, it just sounds like complaining. Idk. If anyone has a decent explanation I'd be interested.

    Everyone's talking about killing people and I'm here thinking about how you could try every drug imaginable with zero risk of addiction

    recklessengagement ,

    Its really not. The context of the question was "there are zero consequences for your actions". To put it somewhat reductively, addiction is, in essence, a direct or indirect consequence of experiencing a high. Since the hypothetical specifiee no consequences, there would be no addiction.

    I appreciate the concern, but please don't read too much into it. Its a silly answer to a silly question.

    recklessengagement ,

    I understand where you're coming from, and I don't mean to minimize the issue - just didn't expect my reply to incite a serious discussion about the pitfalls of addiction. Its absolutely an important subject involving many complicated factors.

    For context, though, I can assure you that my comment did not come from a place of subconscious interest. I place incredible value on maintaining a clear state of mind, and go to great strides to keep it that way. I would never willingly jeprodaize it.

    This particular habit I've been cultivating for over five months. I stopped for a week because I was insanely busy, and I'm taking a break from my medication. I couldn't motivate myself to do it after going off, and I was worried I was only doing it because I was medicated. I'm happy to say I'm doing it today to prove myself...

    This was me this week :( 55 day streak gone

    recklessengagement ,

    Coming up on 8 years. I'm in my late 20s.

    I had a string of very intense relationships early on and found life much less stressful without one.

    I have enjoyed it. But approaching my 30s I've realized how much I want to share my life with someone. I am fortunate enough to have many close friends, both male and female, and would love to have that chemistry and support available daily, in a more intimate context.

    Pros, unquestionable agency. Cons, occasional intense loneliness and being unable to spend much time with friends who are in their own relationships.

    A partnership is a goal of mine, yes. But I'm reaching for that goal by first working to make sure I'm the best possible version of myself that I can be.

    This needs at least one flash game to be accurate
