  • It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC weed does, just not as strong/intense and doesn’t last as long. For me, that’s the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it’s a common complaint.

    If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I’ll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.

    I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).

    Please don’t take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.

















  • this tech is getting better and will be a major part of how we interact with the world and eachother in the future.

    Well that’s bloody terrifying, yeah? The tech is still young and people are already using it to avoid learning new things. It just churns out text that sounds correct but often isn’t and people just take it at its word. It has no more understanding of the text it shits out than a toddler who has learned to swear.

    Look, mate, people are fuckin’ lazy and if there’s a shortcut, they’re gonna take it. They’re not gonna fact check the magic bot because that’s work and defeats the purpose of using the magic answer-bot in the first place. I do not look forward to a world where intellectual curiosity dies at the hand of “let me just ask a bot to do it for me”. That’s not even getting into the use of it by malicious actors to influence the gullible or stupid or the massive carbon footprint for all the compute resources it takes to run those models.

    Id like Lemmy to still be relevant in a few years. We shouldn’t shy away from new tech.

    Agree on the first part, but heavily disagree on the second when it comes to bot-generated crap,




  • I have the right to drive up to your house, park on the side of the street, and blast “Baby Got Back” on a loop at 250 dB until the wee hours of the morning, but I don’t do that. Because I’m not an asshole. And I’m already over-budget this year for public performance rights to songs about the buttocks. But mostly the former.

    Someone else said it in another comment: Be a good neighbor - that’s all we’re asking.
