- Comment on What is Kratom? A friend of the family just died today. And that was the last thing he was using. Is it like K2? What type of high is it? 2 weeks ago:
Did he have a history of taking drugs or have an addictive personality? Because people with addictive personalities should not touch kratom. There are too many interactions that would make kratom dangerous for such people.
- Comment on What is Kratom? A friend of the family just died today. And that was the last thing he was using. Is it like K2? What type of high is it? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a drug that is legal in some places and a grey zone in others. It is the leaves of a plant that grows in southeast Asia, which are ground into a powder and sometimes fermented. I take it like four or five times a week and it helped me in the past with smoking cessation since it limited the urges and lessened the withdrawal symptoms. While it feels good, people who only take drugs to get high, but don’t care about the safety shouldn’t take it, because mixing it with some things can be dangerous. For example mixing it with alcohol is like mixing alcohol with pain killers: It can lead to dangerously shallow breathing. Worst case scenario it can be deadly. Like with many things, you should not overdo using it.
Getting off kratom is a lot easier than getting off cigarettes or cocaine, but it still sucks because you will feel like you have the flu for a few days.
The effect at low dose feels stimulating and relieves anxiety. Low doses help me with productivity. A high dose is rather euphoric and sedating and it feels like you are covered in a heavy blanket. You get very talkative and somewhat hyper from it. Sometimes you feel like you could hug someone.
It is not safe, but I would say alcohol is more dangerous. You should definitely not take it if you have liver or kidney problems though. You shouldn’t take it if you are on painkillers or certain antidepressants. You shouldn’t take it if you can’t consume these things responsibly and with safety in mind. You shouldn’t take kratom if you don’t understand how to take it correctly, at the correct doses, for safe consumption.
So in like 3 out of 5 cases, I wouldn’t recommend against it’s use because of the person. In one out of five cases, I wouldn’t recommend it because there is no standardize formula of it and a lot of vendors mix it with dangerous shit, especially in the US and eastern Europe.
In the one out of five cases where you can take it, you should be a mature and responsible adult who isn’t on medication that interacts with it and you know what the hell you are doing and you have a reliable vendor who supplies you with unadulterated kratom.

The first half is totally right. There are certain bad actors on dbzer0 who constantly fuel drama on the fediverse and I am glad that at least dbzer0 defederated from feddit.org.

While he did absolutely dumb shit and is wrong about the Fediverse (what many Reddit refugees fail to understand is that the Fediverse doesn’t just consist of Lemmy, mbin/kbin and piefed, but a lot more such as mastodon, misskey, pixedfed, peertube and so on), a lot of people from dbzer0 and .ml did act like asses and did more than just criticize Admiral Patrick. However he did totally overreact to criticism and both sides kept escalating.

I am also against genociding Israelis, however a lot of the stuff you post tends to be very pro-Israel.
Also it is typical that I get called an antizionist by anti-Germans but a zionist by antizionists when I am in fact a non-Zionist and it triggers people that I am not explicitly pro- or anti-Israel.
I however recommend that you properly read about the Nakba. Both sides were bad, however groups like Betar did really, really bad shit.
The land should be both for ethnic Jews and Arabs and not for only one ethnicity.

If I was you, I would have shut up a long time ago. You spread anti-German BS everywhere and take away any credibility to rational positions against antisemitism. You spread pro-Israel apologia and sometimes even non-Israel related right wing crap on Feddit.
You make the rest of us look bad when you try to call out antisemitic positions among antizionists and you never have any real criticism of Israel to offer.

60% of the messy side is packs of medication such as my asthma meds.

I am generally somewhat of a train nerd. I am considering riding the Mariazellerbahn next time I visit friends in Vienna. St. Pölten is not far from Vienna.

I’m not paying 55€ for a remaster of Oblivion. I’d rather wait for Skyblivion. Or Bethesda needs to push the remaster in my hands free of cost.

Sounds like Nietzsche is a lot like me. We both snorted stuff.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 1 year ago:
Wasn’t neutronium practically synthesized in miniscule amounts in the Large Hydron Collider? Also I am not a quantum physicist, so I am not sure if any neutronium is currently safe to handle beyond a miniscule amount considering a sugar cube sized amount of neutronium is theoretically the weight of a large freight ship.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 1 year ago:
He said “physically” which is wrong because Neutronium. What he possibly meant was “practically” in which Osmium would be the only element you can practically fit in the box since it isn’t possible to synthesize neutroniun at that amount or handle that much safely.

To point 1.: WTF?

Many Linux distros are not very user friendly and intuitive when it comes to normal users with two left hands when it comes to PCs. Lots of Linux power users need to get off of their high horse and realize this. If I had some issues, my parents definitely will.

Already switched to Nobara. Only have Windows dual boot because Space Engineers Multiplayer doesn’t seem to work on Linux.

I am curious too. We should investigate.
