Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What's a food that you can't eat due to its texture?

Update on using Jerboa v0.0.35 with a Lemmy.world login:

Not great. I'm experiencing a lot of errors and random(?) app shutdowns. I'm going to downgrade to v.0.0.34

Weird, parang no issues naman on my end. Not sure lang kung anong version ang jerboa ko, but I assume it's the latest ob

I presume you're still on v 0.0.34, but you can check that by going to Jerboa settings, then clicking "About".

Also, don't be like me who updated--even though I am aware of the possible issues--just because di ko napigilan mag-miron. Lol!

As far as I know, so long as you stay logged in (and stay with your current version, and basically don't do anything like deleting app data), you're safe--at least for the time being.

Naka 0.0.36 ako apparently.

Thanks for that. That gave me an idea of what might be happening on my end--like a version mismatch, I guess? But then again, as far as I know, Lemmy.world logins are having trouble for Jerboa v0.0.35 and above.

That said, I'm mostly staying put with Thunder for the time being.

☄Helloooo mga beshywaaaaaaaaaps ✨✨✨
RD image is the_yaya's way of throwing her hat in the circumcision ring 🤣
I've been hesitating to say this, but RD image looked like the intro for some "very late night exotic and niche video." Or maybe it's just my dirty mind.
Almost close. The correct term is midnight movie. Mostly applies to screenings of cult films that don't fit in a mainstream cinema or seedy porn theater.
Midnight movie - Wikipedia

Lol! I was hinting at a "this looks like porn" joke, but damn! I didn't expect being remotely close to the mark.
the monitor that my ex gifted to me a suddenly died today. like it just won't light up no matter what troubleshooting i did... just like our relation-- oops haha di tayo iiyak dahil double pay ngayon, we work hard despite the challenges, haha! good morning!:D
The new Superman and Lois Lane revealed. I like Rachel, but the other guy I've not heard of at all.
Napa-search tuloy ako. Pogi naman, di ko lang sure ang acting.
Slightly mas bata na Henry Cavill, haha.
Ako lang ba ang ayaw gawing legal ang marijuana, at gusto ko gawing illegal din ang alak at kape dahil sa mga epekto neto sa pag tulog na nakaka apekto sa mentalidad ng tao
Marijuana should be just on medicinal purposes, not for general public consumption. That's it.
I disagree, this could be abused lol, I've known a person na niresetahan siya ng anti-depressant and it's only good for 2 weeks, but extended to another 2 weeks kasi dinoktor ng mama niya yung reseta, its only 2 weeks extended lol pero pano kung may long term effect pala yun tas di na bumalik sa psychiatrist lol parang joke ang nangyari kahit pinapabalik para i reassess kung kailangan pa ng gamot o iibahin ang gamot o patitigilin na ang gamot
Regulation is a thing... oh wait, nasa Pinas pala tayo. Haha.

marijuana >> happpy lang, so for me even the recreational use should be legal, but use it moderately, pag naging legal ito, i would like to try, i want to experience maging high at one point man lang. unlike ibang drugs, marijuana ay happy lang.

alak >> makes it worst pag depress, kaya dapat di lang basta moderate, dapat sobrang strict talaga.

kape >> I don't know much if I'm correct but I think the pros outweighs the cons, and the golden rule naman, anything na sobra masama.

marijuana is linked to increased risk of having bronchitis, and EVALI(all diseases I know so far that is linked to marijuana), anything that is foreign to your body will trigger an immune response that's why smoking for example causes an increased in immune cells like alveolar macrophage but those new immune cells that caused by any smoke or vapor or as I said any foreign things is futile since it only do one thing clean your body out of it. and from the word bronchITIS, itis means inflamation and as I said before increase of immune cell like neutrophil will increase inflammation so to summarize it, smoke >> irritate airways(releases inflammatory cytokines) >> cytokines trigger an immune response >> increase in neutrophil >> inflammation(bronchitis) simultaneous to that is also an increased in mucus production to trap smoke as much as possible and what happens if there's so much mucus your airways are narrower and you'll have to cough up those to clear and widen your airways

alcohol, so far the only known use cases for that for me is for cleaning for example wounds, that's why it also kills gut bacteria, it's also linked to decreased lifespan and more psychological problems temporary and permanently there's more things I forget that I learned from Huberman's Huberman Lab Podcast

Coffee, let set aside the circadian rhythm for a moment and focus on sleep drive, caffeine sits on the same receptor of adenosine, adenosine is what increases your sleep drive throughout the day, it starts to produce the moment you wake up and clears up in your system by sleeping, also caffeine is a drug and it's hard to clear it up even 8 hours passed only 50% of caffeine is flushed on most individual not the entire of it, also the increased caffeine is not beneficial for brain power either just searched up "caffeine spider web" if there's too much caffeine you'll lose the ability to concentrate and be jittery as fuck!

any substance naman basta masobrahan harmful, even oxygen is theorize to cause free radicals i.e. aging and the top benefits of marijuana is it makes people relax, kaya nga as a medical field ginagamit siya sa mga may mga PTSD, seizure, etc. na stigmatized lang ang marijuana kasi hinehelera siya with other narcotics, which is iba namang yung mechanism, ibang chemical reaction kaya iba rin yung tama sa utak, kaya nga yung mga krimen na nangyayari is shabu or other opioids. making marijuana entirely illegal is depriving people for its benefits, sure their are cons and so any substance naman. marijuana is happppppy lang.

your not weighing kasi the pros, puro cons lang tinitignan mo.

breathing oxygen is vital unlike marijuana and byproducts like free radicals are irrelevant since it's part of cell respiration, you can't live without oxygen while you can live without marijuana, also marijuana also produce free radicals in fact all living beings produce free radicals even fish who lives in water, oxygen in water and in air differs but both produce free radicals so what's the point of your arguments, sure let's say there's an increase of oxygen content in air in a limited area it's not as deadly as MX3 and other supplements portrays it to be, Macrophages eat those even without an immune response, if they don't do that your entire body will be muddied with too much garbage

but I'm open to idea that there are pros, so what are they?, and are you sure they're free from publication bias

there is no such thing as unbiased publication, the best way is to look at all sides.

example sabi ko nga sa mga psychiatric problems https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2338266

or sa negative impacts https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4827335/

and also marijuana is consumed not only by smoking, there are for example edibles

isa pa sa nadidismiss sa paglegalized is yung pwede na mag research legally once it is approved.

at yung number one kapag nalegalized is REGULATION.

a posible side effect din is most likely it will be alternative sa alcohol, which we know that in many cases could be dangerous, I'm not dismissing that cannabis is not dangerous. for example drunk driving is dangerous like high driving.

at lalo ng malaking effect kaya ako pabor sa legalization ng recreational use ay magiging safer alternative as compare to the likes of opium (shabu).

yung mga crime na patayan is ma lessen kasi why will you go for shabu kung may "legal" naman na marijuana. tapos regulated pa, it's not 100% full proof. but definitely I believe na ma lessen yung crime related sa drugs.

example sabi ko nga sa mga psychiatric problems https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2338266

  • pain? big no, meditation and even a placebo can lessen or erase the pain.

  • psychiatric? could be but only for adults 25 and beyond, for me kids, teens, adolescence and early adults should be illegal to consume even as a medicinal but if the patient wants it, it should be strictly monitored and only do so when other options are wearied out already, remember Seroxat by GSK has made it to public fooling both FDA and Psychiatrist and Psychologist it is publicly believed to be okay to prescribed to adolescence and only stopped when Spitzer slams them

edibles are not safe either THC traces have some negative connotations surrounding it too and it's also the reason getting high is a thing

or sa negative impacts https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4827335/

I agree with all but it cites DSM which is criticized for making homosexuality a mental disease before, and experimenting with grief exception.

isa pa sa nadidismiss sa paglegalized is yung pwede na mag research legally once it is approved.

well marijuana research is already happening, and it's result is the reason why it's still illegal.

at lalo ng malaking effect kaya ako pabor sa legalization ng recreational use ay magiging safer alternative as compare to the likes of opium (shabu).

yung mga crime na patayan is ma lessen kasi why will you go for shabu kung may “legal” naman na marijuana. tapos regulated pa, it’s not 100% full proof. but definitely I believe na ma lessen yung crime related sa drugs.

I agree a bit since there's some truth to it but I won't encourage someone to try marijuana if they're not in some other extreme drugs, I'll only advise it to those who have addiction on much extreme drugs

EDIT: Seroxat(aka Paxil, Paroxetine) pala not Xeroxat

well in pain meditation/placebo is kinda borderline pseudo science, it's a mind over matter thing eh, it may effect or not, but if we take the route of protein interaction, madaling makita yung direct science sa effect nung substance sa dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, oxytocin and the likes.

sa recreational, it's tricky since it's prone to abuse, we don't know how to properly regulate it, so we are not ready for that, but when and if that time comes na okay na, I want to try it for once, para naman makaescape sa reality.

meditation is proven to increase pain tolerance, in placebo there's this American Anesthetist named Henry Beecher, during WWII they ran out of opiate-based painkillers so before the placebo he thought of trying inducing heart failure on utterly wounded soldiers but before doing so he tried gaslighting the soldiers they are taking morphine but what he gives is just a saltwater drip, well the result is the same as taking morphine.
I don't know about the protein interaction you're talking about, but if you're talking about hormones able to bind to any cell in your body and have its effects, then I already knew that, learnt it from Huberman, meditation increases serotonin level which is the body's natural pain killer so it's not unscientific.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2931548/

To be honest, I admit I can't understand it, now if you understood it explain in layman's terms, now if you expound this again,

madaling makita yung direct science sa effect nung substance sa dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, oxytocin and the likes.

you're trying to confuse me since dopamine lang ang nandoon sa source mo sa link, and dopamine is a pleasure hormone so it could be more about pleasure and less or not about pain

im talking about in generality kaya i said taking "substance" as compare to meditation, the substance hack your receptor then your body produces hormones, in a way its like mind or bofy over matter din, kasi katawan mo pa rin mag produce ng hormones, but as i said di lahat, may mindset na ganun, so you need to take substance kaya ininclude ko na yung iban hormones and the "likes" when talking about substance that is taken.

okay if your talking about phys. pain your right, but when its about mental pain you need some happy hormones.

nag eerror server uhhrr

I'm straight-edge so normally I'd agree with you, lol. But I'm ambivalent towards marijuana legalization. If the argument is because some people need it, then it's a flawed one because medical marijuana is already legal for decades now. What they need to do is make it known, cheaper, and accessible.

I have a mild form of neuropathy which I assume would worsen in due time, and apparently CBD oil (which doesn't count) could alleviate some of those symptoms. Would be nice to have that in your backpocket should worse come to worse.

Aga ng Pasko nung pixel art na nilagay a...
Disbarred kasi si Gadon lol
Nagustuhan ko yung inorder kong midi skirt 🥰
Napa-Google ako what a midi skirt is. Turns out, what I assumed to be a maxi skirt all along is a midi skirt. TIL.
Akala ko audio / instrument related.
This day shaping up to be a snoozefest.. slept at 12MN, woke up at 8AM to eat breakfast, slept again, and now kakagising ko lang ulit.... I LOVE IT
Almost the same setup for me today. Helps that it's a rainy afternoon.

Google is planning to kill Waze daw as per [email protected]

I don't know kung medyo dinosaur ako but the last time I used Google Maps, parang calibrated yung directions nya for motorcycle kahit na naka car setting. Pinapadaan nya kame sa isang u-turn slot sa Kalayaan Ave before na motor lang magkakasya.

Google is preparing to kill Waze - Feddit.it

Firing the sales team = less income = some higher up will see declining profits = it will be killed

I'm much more comfortable with Waze than Google Maps. Kahit na dinala kami ng Waze before on a one way dead-end that made maneuvering out impossible, haha.
Nakakaaliw lang ang lemmy, nakikita sa comment count pag may nag delete ng comment. As in makikita mo -1 comment. Lumalabas din ang edit kahit hindi ka pa nagefresh ng page.
I like the utilitarian purpose of it... kasi pag accidentally mo nadelete post, you could easily restore it. Happened to me a couple of times already, lol.
Hindi daw magiging malamig ang simoy ng hangin natin sa kapaskuhan. Sabi ng PAGASA, aabot sa 37° sa November at warmer than usual ang December.
diba feb dapat ang pinakamalamig kasi naturunaw yung yelo from china/mongolia, though even last feb randam mo na pabawas ng pabawas talaga yung lamig
Pero iba pa rin ang simoy pasko dito sa Pinas.Or baka childhood memory ko na lang yun.
Reading Lost Connections made me lose trust on FDA, Watching You Don't Know Nicotine made me lose trust on WHO, I dunno but the more I delve deeper into Health Science the more I divert to popular opinions, am I getting insane or the world is?, is my beliefs an opinion or a prejudice?, am I overeducated or semiliterate?

You're like some people distrusting Google and other big tech companies but still using their products. It's okay to have some paranoia after you read some "revelations." I was like this a few years ago, but then realized that life "is too sophisticated."

I'm not keen or care of anything what happen to the world anymore like I used to. The Election 2022 was my boiling point. It is a waste of time and energy.

yeah, i was active sa reddit during 2022, after nun ngayon lang ako ulit naging active because of reddit api, ngayon nasa lemmy na aq.

your young, the more you know, the more you realize that the world is not a fairytale.

take for example yung phone na gamit mo, did it cross to your mind yung components niyan most likely mula sa slave labor ng tsina and those rare minerals from minings like sa africa na pag-aari ng mga warlords.

heck even democracy. akala mo because its popular among those given voice it is for the best, that's just illusion.

take for example yung phone na gamit mo, did it cross to your mind yung components niyan most likely mula sa slave labor ng tsina and those rare minerals from minings like sa africa na pag-aari ng mga warlords.

yes I'm aware of such malpractices, I also knew malpractices in other industry like porn and fast fashion, In fast fashion I learned a lot of companies are getting labor for less wage in 3rd countries and the proletariats environment is also physically abusive I watched it in "The True Cost", Age for me is also irrelevant imho

i mean about you being young, mas marami ka pang time para malaman ang dark side ng reality, pero life also has a bright side din naman, so don't stress your self too much.
Ang init. Naubos ko ang isang 4L Absolute Water na binili ko kaninang 8AM. Hanggang ngayon, di pa nagdeliver taga-suplay ng tubig sa condo.
Hindi rin yata okay na masyadong maraming water intake. Baka bumaba electrolytes mo.
