I like to use the Imgur app for browsing content now that I’ve stopped using reddit. The navigation is different, but it’s usually a lot more positive of an experience.
Hot is the best way to see new, good content consistently. Sorting by top or active will show about the same posts, in my experience.
I typically sort by top + all, then top + subscribed to see the most-engaged posts of the day first; afterwards if I still want to browse I sort by hot + subscribed or new + all.
It varies by instance. Lemmy.ee has a low cap on image upload size because it’s a small instance, but I think lemmy.world allows uploads of a larger size.
You can also use another image hosting site like imgur or pixelfed and link from those in the URL section of your post.
This is a tricky question. I’m inclined to have a positive opinion about CBD, but if I’m completely honest I don’t feel much of anything from it solo. I’ve taken CBD by itself multiple times and it always just seemed like a placebo. I think CBD and THC together have a great synergy, but it really misses the mark when I only have the one without psychoactive effects.
On the other hand, I’ve had friends swear by CBD tinctures. They were doing large doses (like 50mg+) daily and claimed it had all sorts of benefits for their chronic pain or upset stomach. I never tried doing doses that big regularly just because of the cost and my previous experiences leaving me dissatisfied.
For what it’s worth, Extract Labs is one of the sources I’ve had recommended to me by a trusted friend.
I feel like this is the only answer that would make a difference long-term.
The other suggestions like giving people food and housing would only be putting a bandaid on a broken system; it needs to actually change to prevent the same situations from reoccurring.
But that’s just as easily avoided too. I only know what you’re talking about because I saw like 4 cringe atheist memes while broswing All once. I don’t subscribe to any of those pages and so I rarely see it, just like how one could easily avoid political discussion.
I’d say so. It’s the kind of town with one main road that runs through the center. I had a family friend who lived there and when I visited the houses were all surrounded by acres of fields, plenty of room for horses and such.
The biggest downside of late in my opinion has been the homelessness and mentally unwell / drug abuse issues. Measure 110’s decriminalization of hard drugs without actually having sufficient treatment options available just exacerbated existing problems. Rural areas have a lot less of this but you’re almost guaranteed to see some nasty stuff if you’re in the bigger cities.
A lot of people do take advantage of taxes around here. There’s no sales tax in Oregon so people from Vancouver just drive over one of the bridges to do their shopping.
I might be a bit biased for my own state, but Oregon sounds like it could be right up your alley. Real estate prices have kinda settled down recently after the inflation we had the past few years, so you can find nice houses for 350-500k in the slightly-rural areas surrounding Portland like Gresham, Oregon City, Estacada or Sandy.
Nature access is excellent, especially if you were to live around the Columbia River Gorge like in Corbett. A drive to the coast is under 2 hours from there also.
