We're the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.
People who use recreationally are taking way too high a dose and way too often compared to what they are doing with the Vets in PTSD. Its a controlled session with a therapist. They aren't taking so much that they feel the withdrawals from it. The Yt video i mentioned discusses and this, the rave scene, and the negative effects it had on abusers.
Just doing MDMA isnt gonna help, especially if overdone. You gotta do the actual therapy work. The MDMA sets your brain in the right state, but the therapy and introspection are what helps.
Ive had personal experiences with mdma and doing introspection, a long time ago. I managed to gain clarity in places i lacked it before. But that wasnt targeted at helping with my Autism struggles.
For Vets with PTSD, they describe it like, the neural pathways in your brain are like water breaking down a path in a rock. The MDMA allows your brain to break those pathways and create new ones.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Yeah because some asshole thought he needed the cats more than I did ๐ฎโ๐จ and gave up not even half way.
This wouldnt be as much of as issue if Lemmy had better support for connecting with other instances and their communities.
They are comparable in the way they are both large archives of information. The thing about reddit is that there was alot of information on obsure topics.
I disagree. So many people used Google and Reddit congruently as a sort of "hack" for finding solutions quickly, not just tech based but for any and everything. Google even announced that their search has worsened since the reddit changes. For it to be noticeable by Google and enough the publicly comment on it, I'd say it was driving alot more traffic to reddit than your thinking. It also brought in non daily active users to the site, potentially turning them into daily active users.
Tldr, if this was hurting Google enough to notice, reddit is definitely feeling the pain. ๐
Not necessarily on that last point. Alot of people run older hardware, especially recently with the economy dialing back and negligible updates being made hardware wise the past 5-6 yrs. Like i DD a '15 i7 MBP with Arch linux, and if it weren't for the Saved documentation in the Arch Wiki for this 8yr old laptop, I would be SoL on getting many things working.
Absolutely!
Im excited for 8bitdo n64 controller internals to turn the controller into Bluetooth for Android and Linux. And switch & windows i guess too.
I couldn't happily imagine such a future personally. Thankfully its possible to block instances without having to pay for the privilege.
My first experience with a pc was Windows 3 also! My parents business computers. I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit and skifree on it. I was very young. I did get to use bare DOS tho from a hand-me-down computer that only booted into DOS. I'm not afraid of a little Console/Terminal work. I actually prefer it for some tasks. Like Arch's pacman is SO fast.
