  • Do you get joy from simple things like eating a nice meal or taking a hot shower on a cold day?

    Can you anticipate joy, if you are planning to meet up with friends or watch a movie or read a book; does thinking about the activity lift your mood even a little?

    When you think back to happy memories do you feel happy, do you remember what the sensation of happiness felt like?

    Not a professional and none of this is diagnostic one way or another, but it’s probably worth checking if you have exhausted or outgrown a hobby which just means you need to find more things you enjoy even if it’s just to add variety to your week. Or if your ability to feel joy itself is failing, in which case you probably need to a professional



  • The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.

    The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.

    Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.

    Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.


  • As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.

    So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.

    Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.

    Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”


  • Just to add to your (excellent) comment; in the UK you can be prescribed medical marijuana but it has to be done by a consultant level doctor and a multi disciplinary trial. The most important disqualifying factor is any history of psychosis, if they see that on your medical records they will not write you a prescription.

    So I would a assume there is some published medical literature they are following which states cannabis exacerbates the symptoms of psychosis.











  • The threat of international condemnation and the less hawkish members of the Israeli government and electorate.

    Predictably the rate at which civilians in Gaza are bombed by Israel went up not down after Hamas’ acts of terrorism the other week.

    Even if you believe that the Israeli government is ontologically evil; serving them up causus belli to bomb and potentially invade Palestinian lands does not constitute “preventing Palestinians from being exterminated”, rather it actively helps them hastens the process
