About 36h. One day, one night and the next day. Party + drugs.
I did this twice actually, but I like sleeping too much to make it a regular thing.

Not sure what I ate but I just nuked my toilet. Does it count?

Sensationalist headline aside, it’s kinda well intentioned but doesn’t work. Addiction rehab camps have been tried before.

You don’t have to.

Anything really. No matter what your friends say, what your family says, you’re not obligated to live your life in a way which is not comfortable for you. Or put yourself into situations you dislike just to please other’s expectations.

Do it your way. Do your best to be a good person of course (according to whichever moral standard you hold). But do it your way.

I definitely bought a lot of things because of ads. Not directly though, I don’t go around clicking on online ads even if one slips through the blocker.

Just being exposed to the idea that some product exists is an ad. Reviews and comparisons. Seeing a brand name in the wild. A product being recommended by someone I consider an authority in that specific field.
It all provenly works on me.

And I don’t really regret it, how else would I even find out what exists? Go to the store and just buy whatever the seller recommends? Did people do that in the past before mass advertising?

Edit: I just realized this is exactly what Amazon is trying to do. Push generic “amazon option” products which have no independent sales outside of the platform.

• Great I just ordered 6 boxes of Chilean rose
• You mean Chilean rosé, right? … please tell me you mean Chilean rosé

And then you get frustrated that wikipedia article is so shallow and go looking for original academic articles

Conversely I hate the trend in English language to keep the original pluralization rules when adopting words from other languages. Just anglicize it to “alumnuses” or “alumnis” (if you want that to be the singular). Rules of the original language don’t matter any more when you use it in English.

imo, permaban should be reserved for bots and spam accounts. and people committing crimes using the platform.
everyone else max 30 days, but no limits how many times you can get banned if you keep repeating the bad behaviour

1 bedroom, 1 living room joined to kitchen, 1 bathroom. Living alone. I hate the place but I locked in a good price when I signed the contract, it would be 50% more now.

They were also banned in the 1920s. It just took a war with several million dead to discredit them. And now 80 years later they’re back, despite still being banned.

Reminder of a lesson repeating again and again throughout history: banning twitter will make them more powerful.
Legislating against it legitimizes it and gives it a boost - “why would they ban it if they weren’t dangerous for speaking the truth?”

nobody would ever need therapy again

Chat GPT is wonderful as a search engine for SO. It regurgitates the answers in a format easier to incorporate into your own project.

The thing I’m worried about is a lack of new answers. You need data to train an LLM, what to do if nobody is producing it?

Joining Chile to Spain would probably cause a disaster in the sales of La Rioja wines. I get your point. Chilean wines are amazing. And they make more than cheap wine, they make good wine too.

One of the ways would have been Letters to the editor, which were basically blog posts written by individuals who are not journalists, published in a newspaper. Of course the editor had to approve of what you had to say so it wasn’t a perfectly free medium.
These existed well into the 20th century even into 1990s.

Going back in past there was the option of nailing pamphlets to churches, however this was highly dependent on having friends with a printing press which was the cutting edge technology for the time.

Are you suggesting crows are not proud of it?
