They’re shockingly useful today as a tool to manage ADHD, since they have a buncha organizational software baked into the OS, with plenty of other productivity apps still available for download off of PalmDB, without the connectivity nor distractions of a modern smartphone. I’m using a Sony PEG-UX50, which uses PalmOS 5, has a built in keyboard, and expandable memory (in the form of Sony Memory Sticks, cause Sony was addicted to format wars at the time.)

Copy that, much appreciated.
Aight, as a more casual Lemmy user who doesn’t pay attention to the drama, what all has been happening with .world that’s led to folks defedding with it? Only made a .world account cause it was one of the bigger instances around the reddit exodus.
Steven Tyler would be proud of a mouth like that.
Wait til ya see Chad and Romania’s flags.
Oh, what a shame.
Say, any of you folks find any neat music lately? I’ve been obsessed with Charanjit Singh’s 10 Ragas to a Disco Beat, myself.
Considering how many people I’ve heard here in the states say without a lick of irony that we should nuke China/Russia/insert middle eastern nation here for insert reasons here, as if the world’s biggest hammer will fix any situation, I think Americans are just obsessed with death to an unhealthy degree. Hell, growing up in the heyday of the Bush years, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve heard kids in my class say that themselves.
Plz free Raven from the CoD mines, they deserve so much better.
But what if I wanna feel like one of those hip young old folks from the soda commercial?
I mostly use edibles, since I prefer those over smoking. Use 'em enough and your tolerance can get sky high. Combine that with poor self-regulation (common in us folks with ADHD, IIRC), and a traumatized past you want to hide from, and overuse became considerably easier for me.
Regular usage at high doses can result in withdrawal effects, since at that point your brain is used to the heightened dopamine levels. Without the constant party of THC in my system I get unbelievably angry and irritable, mostly towards myself, and threats of suicide become more frequent. Makes me wanna pop another brownie to make the self-hatred stop, cause these withdrawal effects can last a while for me.
I’m doing better with it lately, but I’m having to do frequent vibe checks on myself, and I’m working on an extended break right now. I dunno how universal an experience mine is, but boy howdy, I gotta be more careful.
I know sooo many people who discovered their love of jacked women from the Bulky Bars episode of Totally Spies, like holy shmoly.
There’s a sign in the windows of one of these buildings asking people to stop asking about lottery tickers, as they didn’t sell the lottery there. I dunno what Nipton was like before it was largely abandoned so that could be incidental, but I can’t help but imagine the locals got annoyed by Fallout fans lol
Honestly, standing in the ghost town of Nipton with one of my besties, just the two of us and fucking nothing else for untold miles and miles, it was a weirdly sobering experience. This was once a place, with people, who formed many memories here - and now it’s basically completely abandoned. Just felt kinda bad for the place, really.
Stalactites hang tight to the ceiling, stalagmites build up from the ground with all their might, but when they meet in the middle? You grab your phone and ya call 'em!
… It’s called a column.
Once dropped a machete and instinctively tried grabbing it mid-fall as if it were my phone.
Still got the scar 10+ years after the fact lol
You had my erection with “symphonic power folk metal.”
Lessee…
90s tracker MODs are a frequent go to for me (I’ve yet to find a bad song by Necros, there’s a good reason he was hired to compose for UT99)
I’ve always got Elephant 6 records on my rotation. In the Aeroplane is objectively Neutral Milk Hotel’s best works, but I feel On Avery Island is still worth seeking out! The final track is fascinating to me from an audio engineering perspective (not so much from a “this is enjoyable music” perspective xD)
Been obsessed with Shpongle too! Haven’t found a bad album yet.
I’ve also been listening through Steve Brenner’s works. His album Signals popped up on my YouTube feed, and on a whim I bought his discography on Bandcamp. Dude even sent a personalized email as thanks, and we had a nice chat about music production for a bit.
Weed.
It’s becoming a problem for me, actually.

It’s smaller than I was expecting, but in fairness modern smartphones are gigantic. It’s perfectly sized for comfortable usage of the keyboard, and is genuinely worth grabbing one if the interest and budget are there for it.
