It depends heavily on where you are.

Are you in a legal state like California, where there are dispensaries everywhere and plugs everywhere?

Or illegal state where it's harder to get?

Is the flower indoor or outdoor?

I mean generally speaking (granted I'm from California where weed is not that expensive), I'm not paying more than $30-$40 for an 1/8 at a dispensary.

I haven't tried dry vape myself but I used to work in a dispensary, and knew people who did. As far as I can tell you don't need any specific flower, any should do. Out of my own head, maybe something less sticky so it doesn't gunk up the vape? idk if that's a common issue tho.

So what you're saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it's ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it's not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it's worth maintaining that.

Thank you

I'm getting tired of seeing those comments, it's giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don't want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

It's so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don't understand people who don't want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

I know this technically isn't the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories...I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i'm cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what's new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i'm really trying to interact more too.

I use Spotify.

I used to go back and forth a lot but I think I'm sticking with spotify.

I like the design of Apple Music but their recommendations suck.

I find most of my new music by using a button on spotify that's called enhanced shuffle or something. but you click it on a playlist and it will insert random recommendations that you can easily add to the playlist if you like it.

i love it cause it just mixes it in with your regular music so you can really tell if it flows nicely in that playlist or if it kills the vibe a little.

i don't think OP is annoyed by spoilers, they're annoyed by lack of quality comments.

they're saying that all the comments are just repeating what the video already said so they're annoying to read through.

[–] uhauljoe 5 points 2 years ago

ok i thought i was going crazy, that's the most frustrating thing

i only ever use regular search and image search

if i want shopping results i'll look at walmart or amazon

if i want video results im just searching right on youtube

i don't need a million different tabs

Personally I don't like it because 1, it's redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.

Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it's brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.

Without it, it's simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.

Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.

Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid

Anything at Daiso really. I never need it but I just......need it.

Yes. I have a husband and a 16 year old autistic son (unfortunately he is very low functioning and does not really help with any chores because of that, despite his age).

My husband works 5 to 6 days a week, usually 12 hour shifts, sometimes if there's a 6th day it's 8 hours. I work 8-5, 5 days a week, but also have about a 45 minute commute one way.

Husband also has a large family and we have a pool, so right now at least one weekend day is usually spent hosting them for swimming.

My best strategy right now is that if I walk by something that needs doing and will take a few minutes or less to complete (think throwing away some trash, tidying the coffee table, grabbing all the dishes in the room and moving them to the sink), then I do it right then. It's not perfect and it doesn't take care of everything, but I'm hoping if I do it more, I'll be able to sort of stack things and do two things at once that need doing and then cleaning will become part of my routine.

But honestly I'm mostly here to get tips because my ADHD brain needs help.

Exactly, I don't think we really have any say in whether that happens.

Those channels are just random people trying to monetize content people post for free. Considering that, I personally hope we don't see any of those channels pop up for lemmy, because I feel like the entire point of lemmy is to move away from monetizing the internet, so if people start monetizing content on here, I feel like it could influence the type or quality of content posted, and then we just become another reddit.

and i feel like lemmy could be a better place than reddit. but not if monetization starts creeping in.
