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 😀)

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.

Damn Lemmy is wild, we're just out here casually recommending kratom.

I'm glad it's working for you, but also we have no long term studies about refined kratom (and yes, it is refined, unless you're out there eating the diet and chewing the m. speciosa leaf of the indigenous South East Asian tribes this practice originates from). I've had several classmates who replaced their Adderall addiction with kratom, and the side effects were nasty as hell, one of them even has permanent liver damage because of it.

Sorry to be a fed, but I recommend anyone who wants to try kratom to really look into dosages and usage time beyond a cursory Google search and what random people (including me) say on social media before committing.

Seriously, some of the comments and their phrasing actively gave me flashbacks to my days on stan twitter.

We're purity testing Mozilla now? What's up with that...There are no "good" or "bad" guys, this isn't a morality play. It's fucking browsers, bro, and to equate Mozilla to Microsoft or Google is insane.

This is going to be a controversial opinion, but I really wish we had gatekept AO3 from the portion of the Twitter fandom crowd that keeps getting all the manga/anime/game/tv piracy sites taken down by blasting it all on social media.

Not everything has to be for everyone, and also if you don't know what "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat" is or don't know how to Google it...maybe the website isn't for you.

Y'all are too used to self-censorship, even on Lemmy. It's kind of sad how corporate online spaces have conditioned us...

Also I can't figure out what "b***s" is a stand-in for? ...butts?
