Well it's essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.

This is the actively ingredient in kratom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitragynine

Oh right yeah it being photoshop makes more sense.

A bit of liquify on the corners of the mouth and add a set of nice white teeth. I was a bit unsure at first but I have the extended edition on my hd as I was gonna watch the trilogy for the first time in years. So I quickly just browsed through that scene. And imo the only framing that fits is that "I have no memory of this place" as when Gandalf just sits there pondering he doesn't have his hat on, and then when he realises the smell and gets a bit happier, there's no further closeup.

So a very understandable mistake to make and I could've bought it had I not had reference so easily available.

Edit Cover his mouth with something and you'll see how "odd" the eyes are, that was the giveaway to me. It doesn't feel like he's smiling if you do that. And Sir Ian os definitely able to smile with his eyes on command, that I know for sure.

and it is a legit screencap.

Bullshit it is. It's based on a real screencap, but those are not the teeth of the great Sir Ian Mckellen. And if he was actually smiling, he would be smiling warmly, none of this weird AI forgot to fo the eyes when prompted to make an image smile.

edit for reference

edit 2 furthe reference as this is clearly the scene where it's supposedly from

I mean, same here, in a way. Rural Finnish town in the 90's.

When my big brother first showed me the internet (once in the library as he had reserved an hour for himself) I actually thought it would be like a game or something, and was rather disappointed to see boring HTML sites. Why? Because everyone kept talking about "surfing the net". "Browsing the world wide web" has much more boring connotations, I felt like. (Although back then I didn't speak English so would not have known the phrase, but the equivalent term to "browsing.")

Until my brother showed me how to find guides and cheats for games! GameFAQs.

And you should never underestimate stupidity.

When I was in the army, during one exercise a fellow NCO didn't have his blank-firing adapter on his rifle, as it's a bright yellow bulb on the end of your barrel. (It does two things, smashing the balsa-wood bullet of the blank and increases pressure in the barrel to enable properly function of the recharge even with the much lower powder-charge of the blank.)

So I looked closer, and he didn't have the safety catch on safe on his rifle. So I took it away from him — fast. And what you do to secure a gun is to remove the magazine and pull the bolt back to check if it's loaded. And it was. Sure, it's a "blank" with very low charge and balsa wood bullet, but it's still not safe.

My point being that this fucking töhö had been accepted in leader training and graduated from it in the Finnish military, when even the first minutes of any basic ass gun training should've prevented him from doing precisely what he did; pointing a loaded gun at someone.

So I can completely believe a Frenchman not knowing what oat milk is, no matter if he worked customer service in an international airport.

Nah I just never watched it myself, and my vision has gotten so shit I read "Ricky" as "Rick".

My bad.

Again, it would be about the volume, not just having music in a helmet.

Tony's type A personality may suggest he was in fact listening to it too loud.

To further add to your argument, the last execution during peacetime in Finland was in 1825.

The last execution was indeed by firing squad in 1943, but that was still wartime, and the last two executed were for treason and the other for six murders. Capital punishment during wartime was on the books until early 70's.

Iluvatar vs Morgoth?

 

More news like this and less about orange clowns.

Wish the world made sense.

Siberia is a very unique piece of territory that few people truly understand. Due to Russia's war against Ukraine, some interesting trends have emerged in Siberia. In this video, I draw a line through Siberia's dark history, from the Russian Empire, to the Soviet Union, to the Russian Federation. I ask the questions "Would Siberia ever want to secede, and if so, could they?" Then, to tie it all off, I bring China into the picture. Whatever happens, one thing is clear - history in the making is far more fascinating than we ever imagined.

 

The agency said the source of the interference had been traced to Russian territory, and also affected shipping. Other European nations have accused Russia of being behind the jamming, which Moscow denies.

 

North Karelia force says fence dividing Finland and Russia is no Berlin Wall – but it is now a key geopolitical faultline

... In an attempt to strike a note of optimism, he added: “We found a solution in 1944 and I’m sure that we will be able to find a solution in 2025.”

Matti Pitkäniitty, the commander of the North Karelia border guard district, believes illegal border crossings involving Russian defectors are likely to become a growing problem. Pointing to a gap in the vegetation where an old Finnish country lane passed through before the border was redrawn in 1940 after the Russo-Finnish war, resulting in Helsinki ceding part of Karelia, Pitkäniitty said most civilians trying to cross illegally preferred to stick to roads, limiting the number of potential routes.

“People are afraid of those thick forests here,” he said. But this would not be an issue for a Russian military professional trying to flee the war in Ukraine. “Now, one of the risks we are facing are the military-trained personnel fleeing the war. They of course know how to navigate through the woods and how to survive there if they need to stay out of sight for a couple of days.”

 

This is an old picture, I'm working up hunger to cook burgers today but the problem is the hungrier you get the less energy you'll have.

I got some beef and horse that I'm gonna mix, add a little beef fat to make a nice 75/25 mix i think or 80/20.

I want to eat to have energy to cook what a paradox

 

Calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world obvious spam makes them delete my comment and ban me as a spammer.

A SINGLE COMMENT on their community is spam, but someone posting 10-minute reads every 5-minutes 247/365 isn't spam?

Honestly whoever mod this was, however fking stupid are you to let your emotions take over and admit I'm right by banning me for one comment calling out literal spam?

Ah, Lemmy is occasionally really entertaining (because unlike them, my life isn't on the line so I don't get upset like they seem to :D)

 

They're so insecure that they don't understand that banning me for calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world as davel@lemmy.ml proxy spam account is "bad faith".

How is it in bad faith? These people don't even understand the words of the rules they're using, lol.

Literally every accusation from them is an admission, and because I called out bad-faith users spamming links, I got banned supposedly for arguing in bad faith.

Feels like lemmy is mostly just russians, honestly, which is understandable as the pathetic fuckers can't engage anyone on any properly moderated forums

 

Don't know who bothers paying for these and why.

Not the best use of money I can think of, lol.

 

I've nothing to add.

 

Like a palms width away from the elbow, on the inside of your right forearm.

So... why do you have them?

 

But browsing active >95% of posts are by a user with literally "bot" in their name.

Might as well be reading the Google feed if I'm going to be reading a specific agenda by something, at least that's based on my interests and I can trust Google to put profit over everything, making their motives clearer than whatever the fuck is going on on Lemmy. (Cough tankies cough cough)

 

That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?

It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?

But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.

I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.

I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.

Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”
