Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Laws basically treats your mind and your body as two separate entities, since suicide isn't treated as an excercise of free will and self determination, but as an assault by the mind against the body.English

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What operating system do you primarily use on mobile devices?English
1·13 days agoMainly iOS since I got (and often need, because of camera) for my job. Lineage on my second phone that I mainly use at home. No sim tho, more of an entertainment/“home system” phone. No google installed or logged in. Just a different approach to differentiate my phone use at home
edit: forget to add “since I got an iPhone” in the first sentence

oh, yeah, sober still! I know it would be terrible to give in now, given my tendency to fall down the alcohol hole again. For the moment it’s not hard at all, actually, but I often reflect on how badly I would handle the situation if I hadn’t quit drinking.
being Belgian, I have to pass on a lot of good beers, tho, but I need to be able to control myself first before even thinking about an occasional drink.
