This is something that makes me want to go on a Google deep dive but I think I’ll hold off on second thought.

Jackdaws?!

Just submitted a first update. Yay dopamine.

The open source community can thank me later. I’ll take a banquet and a linux distro named after me thanks.

(Seriously this seems fun - thanks for posting about it)

God I love the nerd shit on lemmy

I’m chuckling on the toilet myself

Check out these guys’ farm maybe

Same. I reported it earlier but yeah it was all over unfortunately.

Based on my inebriation and the weird humor of the post I wasn’t sure lol

Cant tell if this is a meta meme or real. Please slow the internet down, I want to get off.

I’d vote for you for AI overlord

Knowing about “Temporary Internet Files” while my family was unaware made me feel like some sort of God of knowledge.

Oh and yeah I think I found porn there hooray!

Not OC but the idea of making someone feel good makes me feel good. It’s like double the dopamine for me.

I could totally see being grossed out by it when I think about it logically. In fact it is gross when I think about it logically.

This year I invested in pumpkins. They’ve been going up the whole month of October, and I’ve got a feeling they’re going to peak right around January and BANG! That’s when I’ll cash in!

Not OC, but an important tenet of Buddhism as you probably know is known as the “First Noble Truth,” which states that “life is suffering.” The second through fourth noble truths basically tell us to cease attachment and desire and to live a life based on “right living” to avoid the problems caused by attachment and suffering.

I think this is where OC has an issue and I agree because sometimes being a human sucks and you need some escapes from that suffering. I consider myself a Buddhist as well, and while many Buddhists will talk of the “middle way” between living a conventional life and living a life that tries to get rid of all attachments, I find myself mostly leaning toward the conventional ways of alleviating suffering like playing video games and smoking weed.

Tldr: living like a monk isn’t easy (or something I want) but the Buddhist worldview helps me make sense of the world so I use it.

Similar issue with me! In our case both were HSAs and my employer changed companies. The first was awesome (and super helpful considering it was pre tax) and the second was horrible.

Same with HSA cards. I quit paying into mine because they wanted proof I got work done after using at a dentist.

Yeah, because dentists usually sell fun things. Fuckin morons

To add on: questioning and reflecting on your behaviors is the first step.

I’m definitely guilty of some of this too and being more mindful of it has been… a process… that isn’t easy but helps me a lot.

Lol and this wasn’t even the “more detailed” version.

I really appreciate the dedication though

Remember when the Intenet made you optimistic? That’s why I think these posts gut me so much. Because it doesn’t do that anymore.

Anyway off to continue doom scrolling.

I use crumpled up paper at the bottom of mine. Oxygen and the chimney do wonders to get it started. Living in the suburbs I’m always grossed out when I walk by an outdoor BBQ and smell lighter fluid.

I also love Alton Brown and there are other videos that will teach you how to do a lot on a simple Weber style kettle grill.

Also: once you get other accessories like pans to hold and divide the charcoal for indirect heating then you’ll even open up more especially if you have a thermometer in the grill. While keeping it as low as a smoker isn’t easy it’s not impossible and I’ve done some great pork and slower cooked meats on mine.
