I did a research chemical that was supposed to be like LSD, called 2C-P.

May or may not be legal depending on where you live, but I’d be weary of doing it again. I overheated like a motherfucker. And although it was potent, it didn’t feel like a clean high you get with LSD.

I agree with the other poster. I’d much rather do drugs that have a long, proven history as opposed to something that is relatively unproven.

Plastic beach is orders of magnitude better

Great question - but semi related, I really enjoy sim racing despite rarely driving a car in real life (maybe once a fortnight).

The metaverse doesn’t appeal to me, or most people, but there’s something to be said about jumping in VR and taking a car to a track virtually with a good force feedback wheel, nice load cell pedals and a H-pattern shifter.

Heck I even enjoy euro truck simulator from time to time.

If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. That’s just science - that works universally. I don’t really think these fad diets are a good way to view health. There’s a lot more to a healthy diet than just losing weight - your body needs carbohydrates, in fact carbs should be your primary source of calories and foregoing all carbs isn’t a healthy way to lose weight.

it’s just calories in vs calories out. A better diet paired with more exercise.

Get an idea of how many calories you burn in a day (you can search for a BMR calculator to give you a ballpark), and eat less than that. I started going on runs, and eating a slightly healthier diet.

I just keep adding holes to my belt

I use it every day

You sure get a lot of streams when you cater to the lowest common denominator

Good riddance

Historically consoles have been much more specialized. The last GTA came out in the PS3 era. The PS3 used the cell microprocessor which was famously hard to develop for.

The latest consoles run AMD Zen CPUs, very similar to those found in most gaming PCs.

agree with you about having options, but swap it around. have copy without trackers be “copy link”, and then have an option “copy link with trackers”

Fuck yeah this album was a huge part of shaping my music tastes growing up

A joke you didn’t understand. If you didn’t find it funny you would have simply scrolled past without the need to leave a comment

you should watch the content in the post before engaging in discussion about it. What you’re saying is kinda the whole crux of the issue. Jirard has been caught lying, saying his fund has donated to specific charities when in reality the fund has donated nothing. You’re right - it doesn’t make sense to lie about something so easily verified, but here we are.

…did you watch the video? You can see their contributions have been $0 year after year with their tax filings, and Jirard admitted they haven’t donated anything.

I mean, it’s weird to encourage people not to increase their physical activity if they’re trying to manage their weight.

While it’s true you can’t out-train a bad diet, exercising, even for just 30 minutes every other day will go a long. Running a 5k will take about half an hour depending on your fitness level and will burn a good 350 calories or so, more if you’re overweight. Do that 3 times a week and that’s the equivalent of a about 2 meals you’ve burnt off (or one really unhealthy meal). Plus getting outside and exercising is good for your mental health.

I’ve been there, but you can definitely find hobbies that cost nothing.

Hiking/walking/running is free and good for your mental and physical health (although if you dont have appropriate footwear, I’d stick to walking).

Music production is free (if you already own a computer) with free DAWs and free plugins. This is a great way to be creative, learning music theory is also free but not super necessary

Writing is free, this can include fiction, as well as journaling. I enjoy journaling but

Software hacking is free with ghidra and x64dbg, I’ve been working through crackers, which are pieces of software written specifically to be cracked.

Programming is free and the resources to learn programming are free. If you have no experience python is super easy to jump into.

3D modelling is fun to learn and again, free. Fusion360 will give you a free license for personal use, or there are other free options. I learnt this to 3D custom designs, and your local library probably has a 3D printer to use if you want to go that route.

Your city almost certainly has a free art gallery, I love spending days at the art gallery with headphones listening to beautiful music and looking at beautiful art.

Cooking can be a fun hobby, and although not free, it’s money you were hopefully going to spend anyway, it can be fun to find new recipes and try them. And if you plan correctly and buy in bulk, you can save money this way.

Contribute to open street maps, this is free and helps the community.

Of course the more fun hobbies, and more traditional hobbies do cost money, and can get very expensive very quickly so I do understand your frustration, but finding free cheap hobbies was key to getting out of my depression and I urge you to find something, these suggestions may not be right for you but it just shows there are options

It’s pretty self moderating. Every 5 years or so there’s a game i might be mildly interested in, play it for a few hours until I’m bored of it. Rinse and repeat

No and no
