- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 5 days ago:
If you take an edible it might take up to 2 hours before it kicks in. A common mistake people have as they take one, it doesn’t immediately take effect so they assume it was a dud and then they take more and then they end up taking more than they planned to. It’s not going to kill you or seriously hurt you, certain psychiatric predispositions excepted, but it will be unpleasant.

Cannabis is way better than alcohol, I recommend you start with 5 mg or better yet smoke weed first. 10 mg can be kind of strong especially if you’re new. Do you have access to Legal weed? If you don’t can you have someone buy from a licensed dispensary for you?
It will be very strong your first time so I recommend starting slow. I smoked a single joint my first time and that got me completely stoned for several hours. For your first time if you can reliably source whatever you want I recommend getting a strain with more CBD in it. It will give you a more mellow higher than just the high THC low CBD variants there are most common these days. I’m experienced and I still kind of prefer that.
The term drugs is extremely Broad and covers a very large number of substances that are completely different. I recommend sticking to weed for at least a couple years before you even think of trying anything else, even then there are certain classes that I would never recommend you ever try recreationally. Never do opioids, never use benzodiazepines recreationally and even with a prescription be careful. Psychedelics are great but you have to have to do it right. This is not an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts, I might write one someday
- Comment on what do you think is the future of the internet and tech in general? 5 days ago:
The next tech industry crash will probably take out all the big platforms because they never really figured out how to make money, and self-hosting will take over as Basic Hardware capabilities have been improving all the while, the software to host servers and get through NAT jail have improved, and Regulatory crap like porn bands and age verification have given a decisive Edge to platforms too small to be effectively censored passed a whack-a-mole level short of extreme censorship which even then can be bypassed with wireless or wired Mesh networking.
Think about it, feature wise what does reddit do that Lemmy or piefed can’t? Plex is the best way to stream already. Hosting a website is also trivial now when it used to be a big deal that Apache web server existed in the first place.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 5 days ago:
although the thing is America can’t recover unless the supreme court is delt with, and democrats won’t do that, so the decline will just continue until it breaks

The system was always fundamentally flawed. It’s conformity training where math and reading lessons are there to buy legitimacy. I don’t recall anyone actually caring about the subjects for their own sake. It’s all about the grades, the test scores, how prestigious the college, degrees as job credentials. You could replace the subjects with memorizing random nonsense and the machine would still function

- Comment on he forgor 3 weeks ago:
The fact that college degrees are required for jobs that hey we’re all completely distorts hiring and the entire education system. College can’t possibly be anything other than a means to an end as long as that’s the case. No one’s going to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt they can’t discharge and bankruptcy to learn how to think

Rednote’s been a fascinating natural experiment in cross cultural communication that we need to repeat at scale

Back in the renaissance ancient Greek and Latin were needed to study ancient texts, so knowing them was needed for university. These requirements lasted into the 20th century so high schools taught it for college track students. These days they’ll take any language. The methods of teaching and the structural contours of this shape how language learning is thought of to this day
