Super weird, just bought a Nord Grand and this pops up in a feed that rarely posts music tech stuff

I’m on 5mg ER and had minor side effects. Initially I couldn’t get a boner, but it also made me insanely horny almost in a deviant way. Masturbated like 4-5 a day in the first few weeks. That all went away thankfully. Some teeth grinding and dry skin stuff, that all seems to be getting better but those side effects lasted a lot longer, probably about a year or two. Haven’t upped my milligrams, still works three years later

Anyone remember OnLive?

Then it should be even easier to unionize

Southwest is entirely fucked CMV

Also the amount of work that it puts on IT, implementing new tech and not providing/approving the training (which only goes so far)

In some ways yes but it can have the opposite effect too. I know lots of left leaning people who grew up in super religious/conservative families and hate everything about their beliefs.

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

Hmmm

I use it so much for work that I just can’t rely on a typical ad blocker and I can’t justify not paying for it at this point.

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”

Addiction is defined by repeated behavior despite repeated consequences.

My little cousins stole my aunt’s credit card and spent $10k on digital goods. This wasn’t the first time this happened.

There are legitimate concerns about how these services are shaping the minds of children, constantly poking the reward center of their malleable brains and wiring them a specific way to open pathways to addictive behavior. YouTube channels promoting desperate consumerism by featuring kids opening endless “presents” for an hour as an example.

I will admit that as someone who is a bit more tech savvy than the average person this stuff is pretty alarming. I’m planning to become a parent soon and it seems like keeping their usage in check will be an endless game of whack a mole, and that screen/game/content addiction is now the default outcome because they’re all built to be so predatory and addictive by nature.

As someone who is contemplating becoming a parent soon, what’s a good solution to managing screen time? I’m an IT guy so managing their devices will be standardized, but ethically I’m a bit worried about going too far with it. I really want my kids to grow up being creative and a bit bored sometimes so they have to make their own fun, but I also want them to game a bit like when I was a kid. It’s going to take quite a bit of work to restrict access to certain services at certain times of day, plus I’m considering absolutely no social media until they’re in high school but I’m worried that it’ll make them rebel and get desperate

It’s really not as extreme as this guy implies. I guarantee you he has habits he’s not mentioning, it’s just that adhd have more of a tendency to forget them because we’ll get distracted by something else. I think about brushing my teeth, yes, but once I get started I day dream through it. I’m diagnosed ADHD and medicated.

It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.

Endless fun.

I got a nice hit:

I’m fine with them, except for this one

I thought it had less to do with suffering and exploitation (animals do this to each other, no way to stop that nor should we) but more to do with climate change. Cattle farms are causing massive climate change for instance.

Don’t most plants sense light and interact with their environment?

Tardigrades have been observed reacting defensively to danger, even offensively. I know they’re not plants, but do they feel pain? What about brine shrimp?

Jellyfish are super weird because they really blur the lines between plant/animal. It’s a really interesting question to ask honestly.

We want to be rid of the poop wars
