Benefit (owned by LVMH) may not be from the US but they're complying in advance.

One group I already avoided. Just because they are the plague of the luxury world.

The numerous brands they reduced to marketing while cutting out any quality. Forcefully taking over and shady deals.

Recently they outbid Rolex and some other luxury brands for F1, taking over nearly your whole screen.

The show Emily in Paris shows some of LVHM's crimes but in reality there are so many more.

Steam Deck / Gaming News #5

This is so great, I follow quite a bit of news but yours is a nice summary and also reminder of things I read and was sure to remember to then instantly forget.

It also triggers my nostalgia of waiting for the postman to deliver my next gaming magazine so I could devour it and be the "Gaming Nerd" at school and blow everyone away with my freshly aqcuired knowledge.

Joined the Revolt too, I despise discord with a passion, their app is so bloated and I would only hope we could get away with it. Revolt seems like a very good option (better than matrix)

What are some slow acting poisons?

There is a way, and it might already be somewhat of a trope but you can use fruitpits to extract amygdalin which can be then refined with a homelab to a cyanide like substance. Although not pure or concentrated enough, but it could be added to food by a wife on a very long period of time and make the Victim very I'll with fatal results.

Amygdalin is extracted from almonds or apricot kernels by boiling in ethanol; on evaporation of the solution and the addition of diethyl ether, amygdalin is precipitated as white minute crystals.

Scarlett Johansson Wants Marvel Fans to Let Black Widow Go: ‘Let Her Have Her Hero Moment’

Reply in thread

Personally I feel like it died with the resolving arc from Infinity war Part 2, when Thanos got beaten. I'm good to have it left there.

GOTG3 ended their arc pretty neatly too.

And even if I watch every marvel movie moving forward, I imagine it as being alternate timeline to the true ending. (a bit the same thing as the zelda timeline with hero defeated/hero won things)

[Weekly Thread] #10 Changing the past through journaling?

New sub here after seeing it on fedigrow.

I do interstitial journaling as part of my PKM.

To answer the questions:

Would I? Even tough my mind feels a resolute "nope!", I would say yes, such power would just be too much to not use. (Or try). I would put small experiments first to see what can, and what the consequences are of changing the past.

What would I change? I would try to alter small events that caused me great grief later on but not the big things. I feel those have made me who I am, good or bad.

What I'd rather try to do is change the timeline to skip certain parts, like fast-forwarding in a movie. Go from my ex-gf to my now wife (without the rebounds and akward flirtings).

Change which friends I would meet sooner, so I'd have more time with them. Knowing friends come and go, the ones who stay.. I wish I could add years to those friendships.

Also change little habits that would improve my health down the line so I can live longer.

And maybe I would try to change my career, so I could have started where I am now but younger so I didn't burn-out on an ex-job. I do feel the burn-out forged me, so I might leave that in.

Tl; dr i'd change nothing big, just adjust the timeline and leave out everything that didn't change or add value to me as a person. (In a way I would Marie Kondo my past but keeling everything that made me feel, and dropping everything I'm indifferent for.)
