I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

That isn’t true, though. Getting high every day will add another problem on top of those you already have.
It reduces your capacity to change things and your capacity to cope with what you can’t change.

That being said, if your pain is physical and chronic, you basically have no other choice but to take drugs.
And weed is one of the better options for dealing with chronic pain.
But then ideally you should do it under medical supervision, and not with the goal of knocking your brain out, but making the pain manageable so you can live your life.
This would likely mean not to smoke lots of weed with lots of THC, but consuming smaller doses of slower-acting edibles with a higher CBD amount.

The “housekeeper” was an unmarried woman who lived in the same house as the priest, often for life, and if she got pregnant, the Catholic church would financially support the baby.

That’s just sad.

Fun fact: If I use my 4G with a device that isn’t a phone, that’s against the terms of service and they can cut my access.

Awesome, that cuts the Steam update time till I can game down to under half an hour!

Then provide an “other” option with a text box instead.
Make entering some text mandatory if you click it.
No one gravitates toward that.
Besides, a “none” option can just be discarded when you analyze the data.
If all your boxes are social media sites, you have no idea which ones are poisoned by bad data, and by how much.

You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.

I’m not posting, I’m commenting.
And Lemmy is much too small to gatekeep communities.

Wait, what’s this? Drinking after work with your colleagues is a regular weekly thing in Britain?
Why would you do that?
I don’t even spend time with my best friend every week.

We have more to go off, though.
Surviving texts speak of the social aspect of shitting.

“Vacerra spends hours in all the privies, sitting all day long.
Vacerra doesn’t want a shit, he wants a dinner.”

Yeah OK, but back then, an office suite was like 500 LOC.

Current research doesn’t support that.
Most likely, the sponge sticks were used as a toilet brush, and pieces of cloth were used to wipe.

Stop resisting and swallow your fiber! We know better how your gut works than you!

I actually forgot to tell her my name when I asked for her number.
I basically saved it and fled.

“Can I have your number? I’d understand if you give me a fake one”
worked on my wife.

The printing press. The monster’s blood would be spread out over 70000 newspapers.

No, the customer wants a button that does a very specific thing.
He can’t tell you what that is, though. You’re the expert!
Also, can you put in more ads? And make it so the users can’t close the tab until they bought something.

This is my interpretation: They’d use scraps left over from making clothes, collect them in a bin and have slaves boil and wash them to re-use.

And it was likely a thing for rich people, the poor would just use their left hand and eat with the right.
