Swim, (edited ) in Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?

i have high blood pressure and was smoking while they sorted it out with medication. when it was finally under control the doc suggested i keep it in the cocktail, needless to say it definitely lowers your blood pressure.

JWBananas, in Has Nintendo lost it's magic or is it just now waking up and making good games again - my thoughts included, but what are the views of Lemy users?
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

At the risk of devolving into ad hominem…

I feel that Nintendo hasn’t made a good Mario game since… 3D world on the 3DS/wiiU and before that… Mario Galexy and then… since Paper Mario on the original Wii. those games were in my opinion the best of what Mario has to offer as it was originally intended. Fun, colorful cartoony, and exciteing.

…how old were you when those games were released?

rob299,

born in year 1999 and my first Mario game was Super Mario advance 2 super mario world for the gba, then New super mario bros ds, I didn’t actually get to play Super Mario 64 untill I got it on the wii virtual console. But the way I remember super mario world on the gba, including the cover art it was amazing. even looking at it now it just looks so nice. I was atleast 5 or 6 when I got into Mario, I use to be a big fan of Mario generally untill I realised Mario games were slowly losing the vibe from past, if not entirely.

I feel one of the main reason I know so much about Mario now is because back then I would go on the Wii consoles internet channel and google search about all the Mario games, and other times I would just go on the Wii shop channel and explore. Was a good time for me as a Mario fan.

transientDCer, (edited ) in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

My dog used to resource guard pretty bad - we would always trade him. If he had a chew and it was time to given it up, offer him something different in exchange. Reward him when he grabs the new item you give him.

If it’s a food bowl, trade him a treat for the bowl. We used to use the “find it” game by throwing treats and he would run for those and then we could grab the item we wanted.

evasive_chimpanzee, in What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics?

Out whole system is set up to make it crazy hard. I drink a lot of soda water, and despite what they’d have you believe, aluminum cans are lined with single use plastic. While the aluminum is recyclable, the plastic liner is not. I’ve been carbonating my own water at home to reduce the amount of cans I go through. Glass bottles aren’t much better. In America, at least, they aren’t reused, they are recycled, which involves melting them down at a large energy cost (probably more than the energy cost of making a single use plastic bottle).

I think my main cause of single use plastics is just food packaging. I try to avoid any of the really processed foods that are packaged in plastic. Obviously, I’m no better at this than anyone else, but I at least try to buy ingredients to make my own food. Every loaf of bread I bake is a single use bag I don’t buy.

I also get a good portion of my produce from my own garden, or from a local farm, and that’s all plastic free.

I’m always wary of products that try to do “plastic-free” by switching to a cardboard/paper material, cause if they are a package that needs to be water/air tight, they are going to be coated with some kind of plastic or other petrochemical product. Maybe it actually cuts down on the total amount of plastic, but it might just be greenwashing.

I have a few water bottles, I take my bags for life when I go shopping and I try hard to buy things in recyclable packaging. This has really helped reduce the amount that goes into my general waste.

Annoyed_Crabby, (edited ) in What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics?

I use my own container and utensils for takeaway, bring my own shopping bag, eat less fastfood, and do less online shopping, and also buy less cheap plastic stuff(because cheap stuff that is no good is just plastic waste/e-waste). Not sure what i can do more because almost all groceries comes with one use plastic.

Rocky60, in What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics?

I take a cardboard box to the grocery store, instead of using bags

user224, in Are there any communities here where I can share NSFW medical images?
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There seems to be !medicalgore , but it’s empty so far.
There’s no description of the community, so I am just assuming it’s same as r/medicalgore

Jumuta,

idk if nsfw is allowed on .ml

vivavideri,

I’m already subscribed. Just waiting for the day lol

lps2, in What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics?

Where are you struggling to eliminate or reduce single use plastics?

My approach is I avoid buying things with lots of single use plastics in their packaging. If you shop Amazon you can opt to prefer paper/cardboard packaging (it’s not always used though). I use reusable or no bags at the grocery store. Don’t use straws or use metal / silicone. But that just scratches the surface of common sources of single use plastics - I’m also into 3D printing which can be a bear to reign in plastics use, luckily more companies are moving to cardboard spools for example.

I had a reaction like that to an edible sample once. Felt like shit (low blood pressure symptoms), my wife says I was really pale, etc.

needless to say, i did not get more of those

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

What’s your problem? I think the only ones I can’t avoid are from packaging. But for my personal use everything is reusable.
