Bribery.

Can I just say how appreciative I am of Lemmy for calling this what it is- a genocide, and highlighting exactly what atrocities are being committed?

Every time I read news about Palestine (on Reddit especially), all the comments are either filled with the most racist vitriol I’ve seen, or it’s about how Gen Z is being brainwashed by Tiktok to support terrorism. It’s fucking wild.

Muji’s quality is kind of crap too, their linens and cottons are thin, of a lower/variable quality weave and not as sustainably acquired as they like to pretend they are. But they ARE natural fabrics/polyester free, so there’s that.

Considering how many “luxury” bags nowadays are “vegan leather”, pvc or other plastic byproduct materials… I don’t think the material costs that much either.

One of Dior’s current “it” bags is literally a beach canvas tote bag retailing for USD$3000k+. And most luxury houses don’t even do real gold/platinum or plated hardware anymore. There is no “luxe” in modern luxury anymore tbh, it’s really about showing off the name

Why would you reflect my exact feelings like this, I am on Lemmy specifically trying to avoid confronting them.

Ugh, it’s literally Julius Caesar vs Cato all over again.

Biden is Cato obviously.

Aww, Sonic’s helping me develop skin cancer 🥰🥰

No, it means your parents had a stable marriage but you are gay and depressed.

It still gets security updates, just not iOS17 support. My mum is on the 6s with iOS 15 and that still gets security updates. It’s my secondary phone, and in it’s lifetime l’ve had a two Pixels and a Samsung that I had to return for build faults (Pixel) or they stopped doing software updates/security updates.

There are many faults for Apple, but their iOS support can’t compare to any first party Android. iPhone owners don’t NEED to upgrade every two/three years, they do it because they’re dumbasses.

I did not expect to see a Chaeyoung/Twice meme on Lemmy…

I don’t know if Lemmy is the demographic for this movie. My pre/tween nieces and their friends were definitely excited for “the Inside Out” sequel, and the older one has already gone to see it twice.

… I don’t know if I trust Siri to wash my asshole tbh

Listen, I can’t lie…my iPhone X is the best phone I’ve owned. Bought in 2017 and still going strong with promised support until 2026/27. I still have fond memories of “paying” my parents back for it (I was child labour 😀)

Yeah but Westjet was acquired by an investment management firm during the pandemic and holy shit has it gone downhill quickly. Two mass flight cancellations this year alone for them.

I fly Porter now if I’m in Canada.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong here, but anyone feel like Apple is slowly having an…over-engineering problem?

The Apple Vision Pro, this… the new iPad Pros with FUCKING M4 CHIPS THAT ARE RUNNING IPADOS (???)

Like what is happening in their product development department lately?

Low dosage ketamine IV treatment has some promising early results, especially with extreme ADHD symptoms or comorbidity with depression/anxiety, and lasts longer than the current injection methods.

I know it’s pretty inaccessible depending where you live in the world, but if you have any places around you that are doing research trials of this, I would highly recommend signing up. Not only do you get to try the treatment in a controlled environment, you contribute more data to the pool for eventual large scale treatment methods.

Was your roommate using the liquid shots? I feel like you’ve gotten some bad information regarding what kratom is and isn’t. I assume you’ve never tried it. Is that correct?

It’s pretty bold of you to assume I have no idea what I’m talking about because I haven’t done kratom, and then implying I’m misinformed when I specifically said that anyone interested should do a deep dive on their own and not off random Lemmy comments.

I hate doing calls to authority, but 1) it was several classmates, not my roommate (?), and 2) I’m a former biochemist who specifically has worked on drug and substance interactions within different genetic populations, and I have seen firsthand the opiate-like withdrawal symptoms that AuDHD study participants have gone through at even lower dosages of kratom due to a variety of factors such as body weight, diet, genetic makeup, alcohol use, and being on the spectrum.

Like I said previously, it’s great that it works for you and your friend, but you cannot blanket guarantee it’ll be the same outcome for everyone else, especially if we’re accounting for the variance than can occur in AuDHD brain structures. This isn’t shit you casually recommend like a brand of multivitamins.
