I can vouch for this one. Went from near-daily ~3 drinks to maybe 3 drinks a week, if that. Never even want a drink; have to convince myself to have one, and even then, I don’t usually finish it. I credit cannabis (partial credit to a psilocybin experience) for killing my alcohol habit
At least in part, the early internet was only accessible to people who wanted to access it (nerds), so nerds controlled the online culture for a long time. The democratization and onlinization of everyone through things like memes and social media has lowered the standard of participation

As a former pizza delivery driver - tipping. Poor folks would dig through the cushions to make sure I got a handful of quarters for a tip, usually coming out to $2-3 (back in 2006) whereas rich people would round up the receipt to the nearest dollar or two, almost never more.

Oh heck yeah, that thing is crazy. Never seen one before.
I’m still under a dozen house plants, so I’m still pretty new at it, but will definitely be picking up a ceropegia bosseri as soon as I can. Just gotta make a freaky pot to match it
Exactly!
Been thinking about the Klingon and Hirogen species recently (and I guess Ferengi to a lesser extent). How do cultures so devoted to hunting, killing, pride, and honor, have the infrastructure in place to become space-based empires? Like, it takes millions of people doing boring jobs like math and engineering to make space travel possible, but if they’re all motivated by murder and glory, how do they accomplish anything on a grand scale?
