California is on fire. Enjoy your avocados while you can (admittedly, the fire I don’t think is near any avocado farms, but we’ll see)

Obviously we movie goers aren’t making the kinds of movies we want to see. We need to be the change and be the movie makers which we have no experience, skill or possibility of being. It’s so simple that it’s fucking crazy.

Check weiner size? Make sure you use shampoo and not conditioner? I don’t know. But it’s nice.

The cool thing about contacts is you can get glasses without prescription lenses for the look. And then still wear whatever sunglasses, see in the shower, in the pool (if you’re into water or whatever). So many options.

Enshitification of all the things.

The inflatable doll or the actual woman?

No this is the find out stage.

How much can a virtual banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?

Some older movies that come to mind: Enemy Mine. Great sci fi premise that was ahead of its time. Just plagued with bad effects and limitations.

The Last Starfighter Not bad even for the day but I think it’s a solid enough concept that could use a refresh. Set in the 80’s to get the retro video game vibe. I think it could even be a multiple movie property.

Masters of the Universe It was a goofy premise with some interesting characters that were wasted. Even the updated animated series didn’t do great. Or even go off in a space Western and do a Rio Blast movie.

Krull was really missing the visual elements to tell the story and it ended up cheesy and stilted (still holds some nostalgia for me though). It could still be a fun space fantasy.

I don’t care what you or don’t do with anything I said. I’m not living your life for you. If you care, the info is a Google away. If you don’t, then my post wasn’t meant for you.

Wow. A lot of judging and misinformation in reply to your post. I didn’t really expect so much of that on Lemmy.

If you’ve got ADHD or a schizo-affective disorder, nicotine seems to help with anxiety and focus from those conditions. More than the nicotine, the act of purposely inhaling anything causes you to focus on breathing (even for a short time) and when anxiety is running you, your breath is key. Now, that said, inhaling anything in concentration is not without risks. Some are way, way worse than others. Vaping is definitely on the low end of the risk category. Smoking is strongly on the other end.

This is something that seems to be missed by many commenters. Prescribed drugs come with many risks as well. Societally, we’ve accepted that treating some of our issues are worth these risks. Weight gain, weight loss, bowel issues, sleep issues, lack of focus are common issues across the spectrum of anti anxiety drugs. And then if or when those symptoms get bad enough, you get another med to counteract the drug symptoms and those can affect kidneys, blood sugar, energy levels. Just because you’re prescribed something that has been deemed safe doesn’t mean it isn’t doing damage to your body. It’s all a trade-off of happiness vs health to some degree. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take medication if you deem it necessary. The side effects are probably worth the change you’re needing. And it doesn’t mean you should vape even if you think it helps. But be as informed as you can while being as happy and healthy as you can. That’s all you can do. There are things in life a lot worse than nicotine or Wellbutrin that you don’t get a choice over. I wouldn’t fret about them too much.

That’s fair.

I cry sometimes when I yawn. That counts, right?
