PrefixKitten··on Rural Towns Are Aging and in Desperate Need of Workers
I live in a town with a population of ~800 people and yea, once the boomer generation dies there will be maybe 40-50 people left lol

I don't know whether anyone wants to move here but I can tell you that regardless of how many people that may be, none of them ever do end up moving here

PrefixKitten··on Ask HN: Best way to recover from an opiate overdose
I'm a pretty heavy amphetamine addict and from what I've both heard and from my own use I think clonidine should help a ton with the coping aspect of withdrawals

it probably won't help with any physical pain your body might be in though. Idk if that's a thing with opiates, they don't have the same sort of addictive pull on me that stimulants do so I've never experienced heavy withdrawal from those

PrefixKitten··on Ask HN: Why do people watch other peoples streaming gameplay
I occasionally watch friends of mine on discord in the voice channels for the social element. I no longer play games but I don't mind watching while speaking with people I know and I'm also sometimes curious about what's going on on their end of the internet. Actually it's even more entertaining to watch friends browsing the web while they're talking to you lol you learn some things about them you normally otherwise wouldn't.

PrefixKitten··on Inside TikTok’s Algorithm [video]
in my past I have dated a women of a wide range of attractiveness and of all those girls the less attractive ones are actually the ones I'd put the most effort into getting back with...

PrefixKitten··on Why are fewer young adults having casual sex?
> become the person someone else would be thrilled to meet, proud to befriend, excited to date and overjoyed to marry.

The 3 most recent exes of mine all had begged me to marry them at some point in the relationship. One even offered to buy me a ring and propose.

But in the last 6 years I haven't had a single relationship... The enormous contrast in outcome has me totally bewildered.

PrefixKitten··on Memory Loss and Covid-19
my experience with high doses of stimulants has taught me that sometimes when your attention is drawn more closely to some concept than is usual there is a sort of "zoomed too far in" effect that makes it difficult to recall details of things less related to the prioritized topic.

Once the significance of the newly over important concept starts to diminish you regain your usual recollection abilities
