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.

Ich kann mir nur echt nicht vorstellen, für welche Art von Anwender ein Wechsel von Windows auf Linux zu viel wäre, aber ein Wechsel von Windows 10 auf Windows 11 kein Problem darstellt.
Wenn sie nur auf Desktop Icons klicken kann und alle Dateien auf dem Desktop oder in den vorgegebenen Ordnern speichert, dann verhalten sich beide Betriebssysteme gleich.
Und sobald sie mehr versucht, wird sie in Windows 11 auch überall damit konfrontiert, dass es jetzt anders läuft. Das fängt schon beim Rechtsklick auf eine Datei an und hört beim WLAN-Menü noch lange nicht auf.

Nur damit du es weißt: Die jährlichen großen Updates funktionieren nicht mehr wenn du Windows zur Installation überreden musstest.
Du musst es dann jedes Jahr komplett neu installieren (falls es dich dann noch lässt).

Ich finde schon den Namen der Beratungsstelle "Kenn dein Limit" irgendwie daneben. Das impliziert doch, dass es OK ist wenn man bis zum Limit trinkt, aber nicht mehr.
Aber dadurch schiebt sich das Limit langsam immer höher, das ist ja das Fiese.
Und irgendwann sind aus dem Feierabendbier 6 geworden.

Mal wieder: Wenn ein Autofahrer einen Radfahrer anfährt, wird ohne weitere Details zu kennen, sofort von einem Unfall gesprochen.

Ein Blitzerfoto vom Tatzeitpunkt legt einen anderen Verdacht nahe:

if you don’t wanna create emissions, just use solar power.

If you have access to solar power, it would be better to use it for something else, or feed it back into the grid.
As long as we're still burning fossil fuels to create electricity anywhere on earth, wasting any kind of energy is bad.

Crypto has a price (because people believe that it has a price).
It doesn't add any value to anything. It's expensive (in terms of energy cost) and absolutely, 100% useless.

Surprisingly not bad. The producer clearly knows where the limitations of AI are, so they made a very limited film - basically just a poem recital with some background images and an introductory monologue to set the tone.

I wouldn't call it a movie, though.

And I feel like paying an artist $300 for a couple of drawings or renderings would have brought a better result.

Yes you should.
I'm afraid your parents are Angelsachsen.

Pro Pedalo racing was banned after what happened at the 1978 World Cup finals in Hockenheim.
Most of the survivors are still in a wheelchair today - and suffering from severe PTSD.

 

Ein unachtsamer Lastwagenfahrer sorgte für einen Unfall und fuhr danach einfach davon. Das teilte die Polizei mit. Dabei verletzt wurde eine Radfahrerin am Unterschenkel.

Am Mittwochvormittag soll der Trucker gegen 10.30 Uhr auf der Speyerer Straße unterwegs gewesen sein. Als er dann nach rechts in die Gottlieb-Daimler-Straße einbog, übersah er die 38-Jährige auf ihrem Rad.

Die Frau war auf dem parallel verlaufenden Fahrradweg unterwegs. Sie musste vom Rad springen, um einen Zusammenstoß zu vermeiden. Dabei wurde sie leicht verletzt. Ihr Rad geriet unter den Lastwagen und wurde vom Sattelauflieger überrollt und beschädigt.

Die Höhe des Sachschadens ist noch unklar. Wer Informationen zum Unfall oder dem Fahrer geben kann, wird gebeten, sich unter der Telefonnummer 06221/34180 beim Polizeirevier Heidelberg-Süd zu melden.

"I will not drink today" is such a powerful ally. Such a small, simple thing to commit to.
There will probably come a day when it becomes a very difficult thing to commit to. But luckily, not today.

Slowly, the realization sets in and things start to feel a bit weird:

  • I may never need the corkscrew in my kitchen drawer again.
  • My impressive skills in opening beer bottles using any object within arm's reach are now useless.
  • Should I throw out the collection of funny shot glasses and German beer steins already?
  • What about the bottle of Gin I distilled myself at a workshop in Patagonia, using local ingredients?
  • Or the local bar which is the central meeting spot of my village, where local news are exchanged, networks formed, and where I could often drink for free cause the bartender values my input on new cocktail creations?

Tomorrow I'm invited to a crime dinner where everybody was assigned a role to play during the evening, tailored to their character to make it easy.
I'm the cheerful drunk, a man who "always has a double Scotch in hand and a witty toast on his lips". I guess that's how I presented myself to the world. I'll still attend, and bring a Scotch bottle filled with iced tea. I already informed the host I won't drink.

On Monday we visit my mom. She'll want to drink champagne with us, and take it personally if we say we don't drink, cause she's also addicted to alcohol, but still in denial.

In 2 weeks, my entire office goes to a beer tasting festival, with brewers from all around the world. I was looking forward to it. My boss bought tickets for everyone, which weren't cheap and are non-refundable. Everyone in the office drinks, sometimes at work, too.
Do I go and end my drinking career in style? Probably a very bad idea.
Do I go and only drink alcohol free beer? I don't think I'll have the willpower, and I will get mocked.
Do I cancel and say I don't drink anymore?
Make up another reason? Call in sick? I honestly don't know...

Memories are another thing. So many good memories related to alcohol. So many nights without memories, too... Best not to dwell on it.
On the other hand, so many problems that will just be gone. My beer belly that gets in the way on my road bike. The drunk useless arguments with my wife where we both forget what we're arguing about. The question "can I still drive?". Being completely useless before the afternoon on a Saturday. The shame of waking up and realizing I pissed my pants – again.

Thank you all for the positive feedback on my post yesterday. It really solidified my resolve to make this a long term thing. I will mourn a bit for things that are now in the past. But I will not drink today.
