Thanks for the info! Because of you I looked into it again. Added it to my list and started it tonight.

I’m starting low and slow. Took 500mg tonight. I might change it up to mornings, we’ll see. I have noticed things like omega 3 are better for me personally at night. It makes me feel refreshed and clear the next morning. If I take it during the day I feel groggy until I take it.

It’s a kink just like anything else. Some people get off on being degraded I guess. I have done race play in the past, it’s not really my thing but it is in the moment because it’s their thing. Seeing them get off to it is the attractive part, not really the “how” if that makes sense?

Dude’s over here living the dream and complaining lmao. Poor fella.

Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

Would he have said anything at all or apologized if he wasn’t called out? I doubt it.

Agreed but on the other hand, his recklessness has brought a lot of awareness to the whole thing including a go fund me that is about to hit $500k. As long as Ben holds up his end of the bargain and pays the family, his antics will 100% be worth it for the family.

It’s way easier to ignore all the static and just watch the Reckless Ben videos yourself. Even if you don’t know the law as well as like Legal Beagle or somebody you can see there’s a lot of things morally wrong happening regardless of the law. Then there’s the police corruption. Also obvious abuse of the court system.

That moment when you realize you used the word crazy way too much in your rant… Crazy

Man I have been following this crazy shit even though I don’t even care about Legos. Crazy how this one YouTuber just wanted to make some content and managed to blow this whole thing wide open! It just keeps getting worse for them!

Like at what point does the corporation just decide they are going to give the Legos back or pay for them because it’s the right thing to do? Even without Ben getting involved with his crazy antics, corporate should have looked at the situation and told the new owner to pay for the inventory he inherited to the customer or give them back because it’s bad PR if they don’t. You’re building a brand on trust. How do you gain trust? By paying people what you say you’ll pay them no matter what happens on your side! I guarantee there are some huge collectors out there paying close attention to this situation that will never trust BAM now.

$200k on consignment is absolutely crazy to begin with though! I’d never trust my families entire life saving to a few page contract with obvious loopholes

I’m convinced that Israel had something to do with it. He didn’t get in line when the rest of the clowns fell into place. Then his handler aka his wife tried to convince him to get with the program, he refused. Fighting ensued, they were going through marital problems at the time (text message evidence).

Then whatta you know, his now widowed wife takes over his business, goes on tour with fake ass tears (videos of her dropping them in before going on stage), and brings in none other than her ex boyfriend to run Toilet Paper USA with her…

We need an Internet 2.0 invite only. no bots, governments, or companies allowed.

I have heard of taking mushrooms for various things. I’m into some supplements but not like, bio hacker level or anything. I heard you gotta watch out for toxicity in those mushroom capsules / powders and they can fuck with your brain in some people? I don’t know a ton about it so do your own research but it was enough info for me to never add them to my “stack”.

I completely agree and I hate it. I pay attention to my dreams because sometimes they tell me things that I need to know or figure out. There’s a reason why “let’s sleep in it” is a thing. But I have issues. I don’t smoke weed or take anything strong to sleep (prescriptions make me feel groggy). Instead I take melatonin nightly. I pass out and don’t feel like shit the next day but the downside is I no longer remember my dreams. It’s one of the long lists of things that I need to work on when it comes to my mental health. But hey, at least I don’t find myself sitting on the edge of my bed having full blown panic attacks anymore…

I used to take Xanax but that caused an addiction. Plus the half life of the medication made me a different person when I was awake. So I told my doctor I didn’t want them anymore and changed to melatonin.

I truly wish I could sleep naturally. I miss remembering my dreams nightly. The good ones and the bad.

Yes, exactly! This was one of those! Like the 2 guys that didn’t show up and I asked about them, I was referencing a previous dream I had with these people that consciously I barely remember but dream-me remembers full well this whole world.

I agree with that! Usually my dreams consist of me being in situations with real people I know of they are realistic at all. It was just so weird to be thrown into someone else’s life that wasn’t mine for what felt like an entire day.

I usually take stuff to sleep and can’t remember my dreams. This is one of the first time I have naturally fell asleep and stayed asleep in well over a month!

Oh yeah I totally get it! The only reason I’m in the “know” is because I work in IT. I used to love computers growing up but uh… Now that I do it for a career, I don’t have much interest in computers as a hobby. I used to lie at work in entry level positions saying stupid shit like “computers are my life!” Because I thought that’s what I needed to do to “fit in”. But, these days I’m just honest. When I get off work I don’t fire up my gaming pc (don’t even have one), I fire up my grill!

Glad you like it here! I’m pretty new myself. My only issue is there’s not much traffic sometimes but what makes it so “real” is how empty it feels sometimes. You know people read your comments instead of getting buried in thousands of bot comments.

Yeah agreed. But if you’re in a 3rd world country or some broke teenager that money goes farther. Bot farms buy “legit” accounts then influencers pay them for likes and interactions on social media platforms fooling The algorithm into thinking the content is popular then putting the bought content into real human’s social media feeds. I have watched YT videos on how the stuff operates in the past. It just goes to prove that the internet is fake af. Going viral can be bought. Algorithms can be manipulated. It’s all bullshit.

Lemmy seems pretty legit so far though! I’m pretty new here but it seems like a small corner of the internet that’s not yet taken over by 90% bots!

…yet…

I checked my first one (that was banned later) once out of curiosity. 8ish years over 100k karma and it was like $20? You’d have to really grind to make any money like having a bot farm or something. Granted I never actually checked my account specifically, just similar accounts with similar age and karma.

This was years ago that I looked. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number has gone down since then.

Sounds wonderful! My go to us Pad See Ew when I’m eating Thai. I learned how to make it when all of my Thai restaurants closed down during the pandemic and I got pretty good at it! I’m now sort of a snob about the dish knowing when it’s not made correctly…

Hot Thai Kitchen in YT has a wealth of knowledge that she provides to make authentic Thai food and as a bonus she’s gorgeous!

TMI - internal hemorrhoids my guy. It does for me
