like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way
One thing that I have drawn strength from repeatedly in hard times was drilled into me by a great professor in undergrad (psychology):
You cannot experience personal growth without struggling; without hardship.
Think of the people who are sheltered from the real-world and then get a full dose of it and are unable to cope and preserve like others who had to grow up early.
I remind myself amidst struggles that I will be coming out on the other side a stronger and more capable person. It helps me to accept the shit on my plate and refuse to give up.
Probably was staged by previous people at the very least.
I absolutely share your sentiment about people staging abandoned places. Drives me nuts…
There was a rule against staged photos on r/AbandonedPorn which I was happy about. There’s such an incredible natural beauty with abandoned places and they shouldn’t be disturbed.
I remember arguing with one poster back on reddit who said they didn’t staged their photo, but there were fresh real flowers in the pic! Not saying OP is lying here tho.
Edit: oh shit, this is AbandonedPorn on lemmy! Didn’t even realize. Subbed now.
But my rosin vape doesn’t do that. I might cough if I puff too many times in a row but even then it doesn’t hurt, just tickles. What is added to standard vapes that I am reacting too? Is it a quality problem or should I just get rosin from now on?
The terpenes used in vape carts to dilute and reintroduce flavor and aroma (which is lost in some extraction methods) also produces harmful byproducts when vaped. [1]
Should straight up avoid any flavored vape juices.
Some of the food-safe diluent agents used in vape products may be harmful when aerosolized and inhaled, as they were never actually studied under those conditions.
[Cannabis] extracts are not diluted in propylene glycol or glycerol like nicotine due to their hydrophobic properties. Instead, various forms of oils including vegetable oils, terpenes, and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) have been reported as diluents. In most reported cases of EVALI, additional flavoring additives are also added to products.
Although many of these diluent agents and flavorings have been “generally recognized as safe” for oral ingestion by the FDA, recent research shows that when heated to form an aerosol and inhaled, conditions including bronchitis, bronchiolitis, acute hypoxic respiratory distress, lipoid-associated pneumonia, and pneumonitis may result.[2]
There’s poor regulation when it comes to a lot of the products out there, especially those sold in gas stations and smoke shops (but also can be an issue in dispensaries).
Another problem with vape pens and e-cigs is the cheap atomizers/coils used, especially in disposables. There have been confirmed cases of these coils/atomizers leeching heavy metals into the vapor produced.[3]
This is such a new and under-studied area I personally find it’s not worth risking it vaping concentrates. I’ll stick with my dry herb vaping with my Volcano and Mighty+, which are actually certified medical devices. [4]
No problem. Also worth looking into bong lung, the barotrauma associated with bong use, and the counter-effectiveness of water filtration (removes more THC from smoke than tar).
Lemmy.ml has fully went communist even their application needs you to copy paste a part from a communits book and that’s ok by me every politkcal group has their own instance and has the right to do as they wish .

Yeah it has certainly escalated to an extreme pro-china/russia perspective there, where I’ve seen them simultaneously claim that the US is entirely responsible for Isreal’s genocide and deny the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by China.
What an utterly stupid statement… She’s refusing to contribute to committing genocide, but that’s not enough for you. You think she should kill herself too…
If everyone refused to contribute to the genocide, then there wouldn’t be one either. There’s no reason young people resisting conscription should be making futile self-sacrifices. She’s already sacrificing her freedom in refusing to participate in a genocide, and spreading awareness and dissidence.
I don’t mean that in an insulting way either. A lot of people frame it that way, but a life privileged by free time is better than a life lived in servitude of excessive work.
The idea that fish do not experience pain is also ludicrous… They possess a central nervous system and can very much feel pain.
I’m also opposed to catch & release fishing for fun/sport for this reason.
Imagine a hyper-advanced species suddenly and painfully yanked you up into different atmospheric conditions where you’re desperately unable to breathe.
Is it perfectly acceptable just because they put you back down in your natural environment before you died, with a new painful wound and traumatic experience?
I remember a decade ago, Penn & Teller’s Bullshit TV show clearly illustrated this reality. People were just too swept away with mainstream misinformation.
Supporters include environmentalists who say it would reduce animal cruelty and potentially help slow climate change. Meat and dairy together account for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations.
I was shamed by vegans a while back for advocating for lab-grown meat. I love the taste of meat, but I don’t like animal suffering. I can’t wait for this to be perfected.
You can't claim to be an environmentalist and be anti-nuclear energy at the same time
