Before you tell me to touch grass, grass is kinda illegal here in the US (if you know what I mean by "grass" 😉).
It’s a good thing Lemmy is small, because you still run out of content faster. Less time staring at your phone is usually still a good thing.
Back when I started with Reddit I remember sorting by new and thinking, jeez why would anyone sift through all this crap... Cut to me exclusively sorting by new all the time because I looked at ev.ry.thing. So yeah, this is nice. Though in the future it may be just as full. Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.
Use this opportunity to form a healthier relationship with social media
A good suggestion. I'm already trying to post less, comment less, and just focus on making better, more frequently positive contributions.
Kudos to you for that!
Yeah I was surprised to see how fast I read the entirety of the greentext community here… but that’s a good thing, makes me realize it’s an addiction and forces me to stop
I usually open YouTube at that point...
I am bored of YouTube now
most of it is meaningless clickbait with dicksucking face and ALL CAPS TITLE
even good creators are nowadays forced to insert crap to make their videos over 8-10 mins long to please the algorithm
it feels like there is no organic content available even if there is, it is buried deeply inside
well at least Lemmy seems to be less toxic
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I have a PhD in online arguments, and I’ve been involved in numerous anonymous arguments with internet strangers, and I have won over 300 arguments online.
Talk dirty to me, daddy.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
What in Davy Jones’ locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I’ll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I’ve led numerous raids on fishing villages, and looted over 300 ships. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o’ swag. I’ll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o’ pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o’ monsoon that’ll wipe ye off the map. You’re sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o’er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o’ the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I’ll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o’ the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn’t, ye didn’t, and now ye’ll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I’ll shit fury all over ye and ye’ll drown in the depths o’ it. You’re fish food now.
Newfangled computing device, oh man, this is just priceless 🤣🤣🤣.
Different drug, same addiction haha
Though for what it's worth, I do find it easier to pull myself off of Kbin than I did Reddit
I like that kbin and Lemmy aren't going to have an entire team of people doing continuous A/B testing to find what drives the most engagement.
Much less chance of this ending up as a dopamine slot machine.
Thankfully Lemmy isn't really good, and has rather limited amount of functionalities and content comparing to Reddit so I'd say I'm good and not addicted anymore 😉
Lemme fix that for you
I spend less time on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. I think I just found other things to do.
Recreational is completely legal in NJ. To the point where employers cannot make a decision to hire or fire based on your cannabis use unless they can provide hard evidence that you were using on the job.
You just can't cross state lines with any amount.
Still federally illegal. I wouldn't try it as long as it's still on the books. A change in administration could easily direct federal agents to enforce the controlled substances act
Oh, come on, live a little 😒.
Lol? If you're in NJ, and you want to smoke weed, Johnny Law in the DEA isn't going to kick down your door and stop you.
The cops here can smoke weed. There are literally no arrests for recreational amounts now.
I'm not addicted to anything other than dodging mu uncomfortable feelings.
Which I am super addicted to so I end up on lemmy alot!
Not to speak for everyone, but those of us in parts of the country where grass is not illegal really appreciate that grass is not illegal. If we can't have meaningful change in other areas, at least we can soften the blow.
the memes on Lemmy are so good that I feel like I haven't seen good relevant simple memes in like a decade.
it feels much more fresh and spacious
grass is kinda illegal here in the US
Meanwhile, in Illinois, I'm passing by my local dispensery everyday for work, selling CBD products at work...
A federal agent can still arrest you, unless you're talking about THC8, which isn't even real "grass"
One needs to be registered to buy at the dispensary but you only need to be 21 or over to buy CBD products.
