Wikipedia and a lot of games. A bunch of programming tools and libraries. My Spotify playlist. Video is the least efficient so you’d have to limit that a lot.

So true, I don’t know shit I have a lot to say (lmao I’m gonna stop it there that’s PERFECT)

This isn’t plausible yet, we don’t even know enough about the brain to simulate it even if we had the computing power. Possible within the next 60 years? I guess, but not guaranteed.

It’s already easy enough to socially engineer politicians, let’s not make it easier

I thought you were supposed to throw the hammer at the nail

This meme feels personalized for me. Glad so many others watched Castle in the Sky, it’s a great movie

Thank you spujb, you’re very helpful :)

There’s room for a few issues at once. Gender still plays an important social role and I won’t stop anyone from fighting for justice just because it’s not my one chosen issue.

i just don’t like something instant, i do enjoy the process of everything that i do though

Exactly; the process itself feels good. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

just asking for opinion here, all opinions are welcome

By declaring all opinions on a factual topic equally valid, you’re giving the same weight to reality as you do to misinformation. I do not welcome misinformation. This may seem close-minded, but having an open mind doesn’t mean accepting everything as equally true.

I noticed it was a direct PDF download (based). I have a 7 hour car ride coming up, if it doesn’t make me too carsick I might read it!

Gee, thanks

That is kinda fucked up isn’t it?

Yup. Even the most crazy experimental treatments have gone through dozens. Common medicines are one of the most studied substances on the planet.

Skill issue tbh, just don’t warp your own view of reality to conform to a preexisting narrative

Thanks, sounds interesting! Maybe this will be the one that finally gets me to check out podcasts :)

I’m glad you’re putting some thought into the remedies, at least.

I could tell you that regardless of your personal experience with your mom, statistically blah blah blah, normal medicine works the best. And it would be true, but I’m not going to bother you with it today. There are a million reasons why your mom’s situation could have worked out the way that it did, and I don’t know enough to speculate why it worked that way.

well, because i can make it on my own, why not?

I mean, don’t you think it’s a little egotistical to think that your solution would be as effective as the one that’s based on the same principles but has been refined by at least dozens of trained professionals? You’re only doing this with stuff where effectiveness doesn’t matter too much, so maybe the mental benefits of making your own herbal remedies outweighs any physical downsides to doing so in your case, but the effectiveness gap would be a compelling reason why not to do it yourself. But like I said, if you’re aware that herbal solutions are less potent, you don’t actually need that potency, and you enjoy making the herbal stuff, there’s no harm in using it for common ailments.

This is the type of content Lemmy needs

Every take I see in this thread gets more and more based

Wild words to use on a post about C but tbh I might agree with you
