Ah the american classic shoe

Nemo, in What makes video games addictive for you?

Lots of things. But if I notice a game becoming addictive for me, I stop playing. I know too many addicts.

HenryWong327, in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?
@HenryWong327@lemmy.ml avatar

I mean this seems like an easy answer to me no? People in the past wouldn’t suspect you’re from the future, they’d think you were posessed or something. People in the future would be much more likely to think of time travel, plus they’d have records of old accents and stuff.

Time travel to the future is interesting but not harmful. Time travel to the past is disastrous. But no one had concept if it do you'd be free to overwrite the future.

NeoNachtwaechter, in What is Hamas' current charter or policy documents it relies on in terms of its own hegemony (if any at all)

charter or policy documents

Get real. They aren’t american lawyers.

cheese_greater,

But they must have some text or document that they keep all the main ideas/roadmap on, no?

NeoNachtwaechter,

Have you ever heard about cultural differences?

cheese_greater, (edited )

So they have no understanding of the notion of there being a larger “God’s plan” that they’re not just always wholsale pulling out of their asses?

If Israel offered wat “they” wanted, could they ever practically accept it.

I know it sounds absurd but I was beyond fucked up when I learned that the Taliban is like a far more mundanely violent version of The Office. I swear to Allah, the piece lamented that their lives were boring and bureaucratic and they hated the responsibility that comes with being the G’s earthly enforcer/coordinator but the sense I got was that they had to glumly accept it. This is what they fought for !/s

pan_troglodytes, in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

languages change over time but you can easily pretend to be mute

1 - pretend while you learn the language

2 - you’re fucked, future tech cured this centuries ago

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

I do that. I got thc-v extract isolated in a lab from someone in the industry (supposedly a bit more of a simulant), when I took it I passed out until the next day and was depressed for a week after that. There’s some poorly understood relationship here, but my doc said it confirms my (very mild) type 2 bipolar suspicion/diagnosis.

This video does a good job of covering the basics of the current situation.

@sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

I wouldn’t make it with the Vikings man. I wouldn’t be outed as a time traveler but I would die

TheOctonaut,

Is this like that “the 90s were 10 years ago” effect? The viking age was 1,000 years ago. More, really.

500 years ago the world had been circumnavigated

Oh fuck me I didn’t process the 500 year mark when writing this. In that case I’d probably just starve

Nah. You'd die of smallpox.

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

Make plastic out of ragweed.

EmoBean, in What makes video games addictive for you?

Idk, I wish I could enjoy video games again. I miss that. I haven’t been able to enjoy gaming since college.

dingus, (edited )

Similar for me. I played them constantly as a kid. As an adult, I try to get into them now and then but they never seem to hold my interest anymore. They’ve lost their addictive quality for me.

Monster96, in What makes video games addictive for you?

I do it because most of the time I literally have nothing else to do due to my current situation. It’s either play the ps5, pc, or watch TV. There’s literally nothing else for me to do other than work which is the reason why I game so much. And, on the other hand, I do it to escape my mundane life. For example, in ff7 I’m part of a group looking to save the world from evil corporations. In Starfield I’m a space explorer discovering new things and seeing g new sights and people. In real life, I sit, draw, and write all day showing people going on adventures and doing amazing things. Honestly, if my current situation was better, I’d be traveling, doing cool stuff with friends, seeing the world. I wouldn’t game so much. But until things change I’m stuck in an endless loop.

Couple of things it could be:

  1. You locked your knees without realizing it, shut down the blood return from your legs, then had a drop in blood pressure due to decreased blood return to your heart causing you to pass out.
  2. You took a big hit, expanded your chest, held it, decreased blood flow through your thoracic cavity due to the increased intrathoracic pressure then a blood pressure drop as above.
  3. Your vasovagaled yourself somehow (bearing down on a held hit maybe or just due to weed effects) which is increased parasympathetic nervous system tone that drops blood pressure
  4. Some weird shit 🤷🏼‍♂️, the body can be odd and changes as we age so maybe you just can’t smoke weed now cause of the earlier mentioned weird shit

I agree with your doc (I’m a family med physician), don’t smoke if all of a sudden you’re passing out.

Rocky60,

Thank you very much. It’s happened multiple times and every time I was standing up. Fortunately, I don’t find the effects of cannabis super enjoyable so I think I’ll just stop.

intensely_human, in Has anyone here used CBD products for anxiety? Do they actually work or is it just a placebo?

CBD is anti-inflammatory.

Sometimes anxiety is a result of inflammation. Sometimes it’s not.

mertn, in What makes video games addictive for you?

I stopped playing them. I used to do it for many hours/week but just quit cold turkey a year ago. There are more interesting things to do with a computer.

For me it’s typically something I can enjoy absent mindedly.

It could be an element of a game I can enjoy without thinking like a solid soundtrack or visuals but not feeling like “losing” is a lose is another thing.

I like being able to shut my brain off and that typically means a lack of story but still having some form of progression.

I don’t think technical innovations relating to realism and multiplayer are essential. One of my favorite games is Hotline Miami which features pixel graphics and while shooters like Call of Duty do have a satisfying gameplay loop I feel like I hit a wall with progression eventually.

Multiplayer and VR games can also require some extra setup which is a hurdle for a game being addictive to me.
