Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products?

Not too long ago, regulations on CBD changed in Germany leading to a plethora of products containing it. As someone who occasionally needs pain medication, I tried some of the products to avoid regular pain killers (ibu). Especially on days with lighter pain, I wished for an alternative to the sledgehammer meds. But I was left...

the problem is the legality of other cannibinoids where you live …

  • from the states in the US where cannabis has been legalized – neither CBD nor THC will show their full effects in isolation, they each help to augment the other – so even something like a tiny amount of THC added to CBD (ex. 20:1 CBD to THC) will drastically enhance the CBD effects
  • there are two primary (and a lot of secondary) pain systems within the body – one of them responds better to opioids, the other responds better to cannibinoids cannabinoids – everyone’s different and responds differently so it requires a knowledgeable medical professional who hasn’t bought into US’s “reefer madness” propaganda that’s been foisted off onto the rest of the world

reminder that Starbucks is not about selling coffee, it’s about selling frappucccinos, mochaccinos, and the like – they purposely over-roast their coffee so you will pay for the sugar concoctions to cover up the flavor

pre-Musk Twitter was the least right-wing of the social media platforms (being center-right at best) – current Twitter, Reddit, Meta (Facebook & Instagram) are solidly right-wing – Facebook was caught several times adjusting its algorithm to promote right-wing extremism

relatively speaking, the Fediverse is to the left of mainstream social media, but being relatively to the left of Nazis doesn’t automatically make you an Communist (there’s a whole spectrum in between, it’s not a binary)

Why is there such a large amount of Nazi, fascist, conservative, Republican, and bootlicking related posts on other platforms compared to the Fediverse?

Lemmy is more centrist than Reddit

(other than the usual issues) Reddit was hated by the general populace because it was too right wing and it was hated by right-wingers for not being right wing enough

Lemmy is still new and hasn’t gained a large population as of yet, but it’s already still far more representative than Reddit ever was

Search engine without SEO garbage?

Been looking for a search engine that isn’t plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I’m starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything...

cerement, (edited )
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar
  • so yeah, Google is Google, the very definition of SEO – to the point now they will completely ignore your query to show you “relevant” results
  • and Bing is Microsoft, ’nuff said – although I hear they seem to be THE choice for porn searches …
  • people have been claiming DuckDuckGo has become just a frontend for Bing which is why their results have been declining 🤷
  • ad tech company System1 owns a majority stake of Startpage – apparently they’ve mollified PrivacyTools that it would not impact Startpage’s privacy focused mission
  • Qwant out of France actually seems to be stepping up as a good netizen, not only focusing on privacy but also investing in privacy initiatives in EU
  • otherwise you’re stuck bouncing around SearX SearXNG instances – Google and Bing REALLY don’t like meta search engines and will regularly block overactive instances

EDIT: looks like SearX is pretty much dead and had been replaced by SearXNG

one paragraph that stood out

Oroza, who has spent decades collecting, studying and writing about these objects, has a name for the phenomenon: “technological disobedience.” Cubans, he said, weren’t deterred by complexity or scale, and they learned to disrespect the “authority” of objects. That meant rethinking their original purpose and life cycle.

within this disposable economy, we desperately need to (re)learn to “disrespect the authority of objects”

[cynical rant – take with a bucket of salt]

you don’t

you pick something that you are competent at that pays the bills and keeps you alive and gives you enough free time to work on what you actually want to do

traditional boomer advice was to pick something you love, but after putting in endless hours of doing it over and over just to make enough to keep you fed and provide a place to sleep, you will grow to resent it with a passion – for your own mental health, you absolutely must maintain a separation between the job and your personal life

two main methods I’ve come across are

  • a stronger brew over ice – ie. treat it like an Americano – most familiar as Vietnamese iced coffee – yes, it gets watered down, but you’re starting with a stronger concoction in the first place
  • cold brew – ie. starting a day in advance and let it slowly steep in the fridge – still usually meant to be diluted 1:1 with water when serving
