what would you clock me to be?

Deceptive.

It’s crazy to me to see so many people recommending these. I remember thinking ed2k was old when Kazaa and Morpheus came out.

I was looking at and it brought so much nostalgia. The days of viruses, “proggys” in Yahoo chat (I missed the AOL train), being a young teenage script kiddy on the Internet… That was the best time of the Internet for me. You could do and say anything and never felt like there was a panopticon watching you to slip up at any time.

To add to what scrubbles said, the looking for another job part of very important here. Blowing the whistle on your current colleagues may result in your boss not giving you as great of a reference as they otherwise may have. The best way to handle a hostile workplace is to leave the hostile workplace, unless there are blatantly outright illegal things being done to you. And sadly, even then…

Many drugs that cause nicotine cessation also work for other addictive drugs, including alcohol. Off the top of my head…

• Chantix (and buproprion)
• NAC
• Tirzepatide and Semaglutide
• Buperenorphine
• Acamprosate (sp?)
• Disulfiram
• Psychedelics (if used properly)

While we’re on the subject, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W, said the help of LSD was integral to his development of AA.

Why?

Mullvad or IVPN. Some VPNs like Perfect Privacy do leak your IP via DHT and other torrent features, even when full lockdown mode is on. You can search ‘torrent leak test’ to verify yours doesn’t. I found out with a 2nd DMCA warning from my ISP.

My Fitbit Inspire 3 (cheapest fitbit, comes with 6 months Fitbit premium so you can see how your sleep is and address any issues) has alarm vibration options and it is (usually) enough to wake me. Never wakes the wife.

Thank you for the honesty. I’ll read over it now.

Lemmy is heavily astroturfed. There is no way Lemmy instance admins have the time to do the kind of subversion detection reddit did.

Here is one of many from reddit. Hopefully some OSINT groups start doing research on Lemmy and outing the bot networks that operate here, because it’s election season in the US and it’s showing.

Yeah… seems like most of the people here are of the younger under 25 crowd, where on Reddit that was still the case but there were a lot more adults to have full adult discussions with. I still check Lemmy but less and less.
