I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

That isn’t true, though. Getting high every day will add another problem on top of those you already have.
It reduces your capacity to change things and your capacity to cope with what you can’t change.

That being said, if your pain is physical and chronic, you basically have no other choice but to take drugs.
And weed is one of the better options for dealing with chronic pain.
But then ideally you should do it under medical supervision, and not with the goal of knocking your brain out, but making the pain manageable so you can live your life.
This would likely mean not to smoke lots of weed with lots of THC, but consuming smaller doses of slower-acting edibles with a higher CBD amount.

Weird 4:3 looking motherfucker

Yes you should.
I’m afraid your parents are Angelsachsen.

Pro Pedalo racing was banned after what happened at the 1978 World Cup finals in Hockenheim.
Most of the survivors are still in a wheelchair today - and suffering from severe PTSD.

no gears

The fixie hipster crowd would have been all over them.
SO MINIMAL

Hopefully

They’re also rewriting history in Idiocracy (It’s actually a key story element at the end).
“They’re pitting us against each other” is one of the most important aspects in 1984.
And “They’re distracting us with entertainment” is literally at the core of Hunger Games.

That’s just sad.

it would entirely solve this problem

Welches Problem?

I’m kinda trying to get back to how it was in the past a bit.
Realize that life happens outside of the internet, and I don’t need to read a stream of news from the other end of the world that I can’t do anything about and don’t affect me yet.

Unfortunately, you can’t see BENTHIC live.
They don’t have a tour planned.

It would be enough to prove I have a working perpetuum mobile and become rich.

Doesn’t matter how happy the RAM supposedly was, you still pay for someone to cut it up into bytes and solder it into a chip.
No one needs RAM anyway, you can easily live off CPU cache and SSD space.

This diagram would make the same amount of sense if you randomized the titles in it.
Maybe they’re already random.

Phone battery. Then I could modify the phone to let it power other devices and have unlimited electricity.
With a full tank of petrol, I’d create pollution if I tried that.

You probably have several products in your home delivered by a fleet of nuclear powered ships.

Not by choice though.
I only buy local, from Europe where I live, or used.

Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is nuclear.

Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is using less energy.

And the new reactors are safer than the ones that come to mind with melt downs.

And container ships aren’t known for being in line with current safety standards in anything.
They’re operated out of whatever island has the lowest taxes and least regulations, built by the lowest bidder and often crewed by people who don’t share a commmon language.

Apple pie.

The entire purpose of life and evolution up to this point was to evolve grandmother’s apple pie.

No, it’s not purpose. It’s just a process that perpetuates itself.

It’s how you make the next generation, but if that generation doesn’t have a purpose, then neither does yours, nor the act of reproduction.

Holy fuck no!

I applaud your optimism. But anyone resisting ICE with armed force will be killed by a SWAT team and immediately branded a terrorist by all the media.
