  • You posted this on black friday, so many people working a crazy black friday won't have a chance to comment on this post

  • None of those (except for maybe the ventilation) are reasons why a hotel would do this

  • You can do some offsetting of that by telling her frequently that she's smart. It takes something like 50 compliments to create an impact similar to 1 denigrating comment. The negative comment won't ever be erased from their mind, but with 50 positive compliments you can put a similar level of good inner monologue into their head that will refute the bad voice from the insult.

  • Hah yeah go wild you madman! 😂

    But yeah at 42 might as well experience a bit more of life if you can. Why wait?

    Though I don't wanna sound like I'm trying to peer pressure you, a person should only ever do what they wanna do. All I'm saying is give other substances a thought. In particular, mushrooms have been scientifically proven to benefit mental health long term even from a single use

    Enjoy life, however it works best for you

  • I've never had open eye visuals like portrayed on tv. The strongest visual i saw with open eyes is a tree bark pattern looking exquisitely detailed but still looking like tree bark. And that level of visual only happened like twice. Even taking a full eighth which produces a strong altered state of mind doesn't give me open eye hallucinations.

    Do you know a way to increase the likelihood of open eye visuals?

  • I heard (literally just a few internet comments) saying it's almost impossible to get pure MDMA anymore. Any idea if that's true?

  • Huh? If a deaf person needs to look at a screen to see the signs then they could just as easily look at a screen to see the live speech to text of what's being said

    Israeli society is truly gone so outrageously far right that translation from Hebrew is now disabled on X (#Twitter) as of Nov16

  • It isn't listed anywhere on their homepage or example demos or anywhere listing its capabilities, so i did a web search to find it and I found that it sorta just kinda can do Spotify, but (1.) that isn't listed anywhere on the home assistant abilities listing pages, which shows just how not ready for the mass market it is, and (2.) takes a ridiculous amount of very techie setup just to get it to work

    And also, out of the box can i ask it to:

    • tell me the weather?
    • set a timer?
    • set an alarm?

    I don't see anything on the website that says it can do these things. And even if it can (which doesn't appear to be the case from their website) then the fact that the website doesn't say it can do these things is a problem in itself that shows it isn't ready for the mass market

    Just look at the webpage for Alexa vs. Home Assistant and it's clear that Alexa has a very wide variety of abilities and is designed to be easy to use by anyone, while the home assistant website only shows it doing smart device automation and looks like it's not for regular folks

    I would LOVE to replace my Alexa devices with a local FOSS system, but unfortunately home assistant isn't close to being able to do that yet

  • No, home assistant very much is not ready to replace an Alexa device. Home assistant mainly only does automation of smart devices, and as far as i can see from their website it does nothing else. One of the main things people use Alexa for is to play music from services like Spotify, and home assistant doesn't appear to do that.
