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

It’s actually ed .

if you don’t wanna create emissions, just use solar power.

If you have access to solar power, it would be better to use it for something else, or feed it back into the grid.
As long as we’re still burning fossil fuels to create electricity anywhere on earth, wasting any kind of energy is bad.

Crypto has a price (because people believe that it has a price).
It doesn’t add any value to anything. It’s expensive (in terms of energy cost) and absolutely, 100% useless.

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

SO MINIMAL

Counter-point:
crypto-mining should be illegal, period. (and so should AI)
We’re on the brink of climate collapse, we as a species can’t afford to waste massive amounts of electricity on something that literally creates no value.

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 love how most comments on AI posts are just about it being AI.
Keep it up. Seize the memes of production!

That works much better for that meme, too.

Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.

I didn’t know it was the last time, and I don’t know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

Create one!

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.

They overdosed

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