I just made an account on literature.cafe last night. :) Haven't gotten around to logging in and doing anything yet, but I like having a couple alts to see unique local feeds and such, and yours looked so interesting! I love how federation allows for those kinds of interest-specific instances. Can't wait to explore yours. :)
I have Jerboa, sync, connect, summit, and liftoff. Each is logged into a different account on a different instance. I like being to scroll through local timelines. On Reddit, I had several different accounts I used for different interests. Lemmy isn't quite big enough for that yet, but different local timelines are interesting, and allow me something to do when one has down time.
Curious as someone who absolutely does not understand things. Would it be possible to create an open source algorithm that could be used successfully? As in, you view certain types of content, similar content is recommended, home feeds are personalized, et cetera, but without the generally horrible shit that comes along with algorithm feeds currently?
No. The Romulans allow level 12. But if you do go to the gamma quadrant, they allow for Blatant Unrepentant Sinner Level 10. But no humanoid has ever survived it. Major Death By Snusnu vibes.
Debauchery level 11 is outlawed in federation space. Even the Breen do not allow level 11! I have heard that Grand Nafus Rom is preparing to outlaw it in Ferengi space as well.
Riker once tried level 11. He was never the same afterwards.
My guess is that on a star ship you're only allowed a certain amount of time, and there are probably some kinds of rules about the... Nature... Of the programs that the computer won't let you override.
At quark's it's probably just too expensive. Pay by the minute. Only the horniest can afford to spend that long in there.
If we figure out this whole telemere lengthening thing and I live long enough, though, I fully plan on figuring out how to have my own holodeck. And I have no shame in admitting that I will be using holoporn programs. Especially since you can use your voice to create a program.
Holy crap. I don't really use cannabis (not against it, majorly in favor of legalization, and occasion user. Just don't particularly like being drunk or high personally anymore), so I've never really considered how gallbladder removal might impact edibles. That's crazy.
That truly sucks. I'm sorry you're going through that.
Just one thing real quick, though, just in case. My entire family has had similar issues, and for every one of us* it has been our gallbladder. Also for every one of us, they have refused to check our gallbladders. My mom was told ulcers, which she had none. Had to have emergency surgery when her gallbladder was on the verge of ruptured.
My brother was told it was his drinking (±1 drink a week), quit drinking for two years with no improvement. When they finally removed his gallbladder it was so bad it literally fell apart inside him when they tried to remove it, and he was in the hospital for a week
*I'm currently going through it, and they're telling me it's acid reflux.
The gallbladder is the medical bigfoot. Doctors refuse to believe it exists, I'm pretty sure.
I mean, not a fan of these type of threads in general (to each their own, though), but feet are the single most common fetish, and more and more so considered a pretty normal thing to be into. It's close enough to vanilla to work well as a joke.
At this point, I'd say I am definitely a nondualist. I was raised Christian, so that flavors my outlook in major ways. I'm some weird mix of Hindu and Christian, and recently I've become very interested in Buddhism as well.
I really enjoy the writings of Swamiji Vivekananda and Rama Krishna. A sort of universal view of religion, with many paths that lead us to God.
What about yourself? Do you subscribe to a particular religion or philosophy?
Also, related, do you recommend any Lemmy communities for this sort of stuff? I haven't found my esoteric and spiritual people on lemmy yet.
... well, I've been trying to describe what happens to me sometimes for years. Been calling it a panic attack since I was like 8 years old. Holy shit. I think I have this.
Love this. But does anyone else feel like it's reading backwards?
