Replace simulation with book where only a framework is defined and and the plot is built within the set rules.

“Security! This random person just sat on my land. Remove them at once!”

Looks fun enough.

Yes, in a world where judges can’t be bought and criminals don’t get Epstein’d.

I want fair justice as much fair justice can be attained by humanity. But in that kind of world, this type of murderer wouldn’t exist in the first place.

How’d you know?

Unrelated to washing.

If you have body hair, each one acts as a miniature saw that rips through your clothes making them lose integrity much faster than otherwise.

You’ll find time loses importance once you no longer have to manage it.

I’m gonna say something different from the other comments and call it a burnout. You ran out of mojo. Need a refuel. Gotta find meaning again and let it power you up.

That can happen easy and fast or slow and difficult. It’s up to chance. In general, people pick up a hobby or take up sports and then do everything else in order to support that joy. More rarely, some people choose activism as joining something greater than themselves drives them to push past this state of couch potato ism.

Preface: Not a fancy alcohol enjoyer.

My quick searching gave compromised stopper, oxidation and environmental conditions as possible causes. As to why only Jim Beam reacts visibly, might be due to its recipe causing different or more intense chemical reactions.

For a brief shining moment, a lot of people would cheer. But afterwards, it’s still the survivors that have to deal with the consequences.

It’s “quote unquote something” because most people who "quote something often forget to unquote afterwards.

I am feeling a bit chernobylite…

Yes, my answer diverged from the topic. I was caught up in a chain of thought of my own when I posted and didn’t realize it.

Piracy is changing in a different way than expected. Before, viruses were mostly of the type that do damage for fun or steal some game accounts. But all that was left behind.

Nowadays, it’s all about stealing your cryptocurrency or making your hardware mine cryptocurrency, organized crime ransomware and government agencies hijacking your shit to spy on its own citizens or rival countries.

With the shift towards a higher digital presence, so do the dangers grow exponentially.

Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.

…

Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?

And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.

Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:

Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.

Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.

Yes. Not me, but yes.

That’s a 100% surefire way for me to have my phone snatched, no dice.

Nah, that’s just France.

Technically, you can drive full circle on the planet, but it involves riding ships in some places as they haven’t felt the need to build a bridge or tunnel.

Difference is between buying a brand for style and buying it for quality.

Some companies have quietly admitted that the only difference between their stuff and cheap knockoffs is the brand name and it’s fine for them because their customers don’t care.
