Outside of my country being on fire and being a bit worried the small company I work for will survive, my personal life has been pretty good.

I’ve been casually seeing a new woman and it’s been nice to break out of my usual comfort zone of “you are now half of my life” relationships. And it’s given me motivation to get consistent with lifting weights because I want to look good for her (and tbh love when she grabs/holds my arm), which has really helped me control my blood sugar. I might even be able to dial back my medications depending on how my next doctor’s visit goes.

SNRIs, getting older, and being much more selective about the fucks I give.

What is your BA in?

Is the plane ok?

For me, it’s really just a lack of actual remorse or effort to fix things. As long as they’re willing to demonstrate they recognize what they did and will work to be better (and it’s not a recurring pattern), we’re cool.

We had a guy at the place I worked a few jobs ago who did nothing but slowly single-finger peck out regexes all day. His job title was “SEO Guru”.

100%. I’m trying to swear less just to avoid the punctuation-level swearing that feels childish to me. But replacement swear words that have the same sentiment feel even more childish and pointless to me.

We even have sea unicorns, land unicorns don’t seem too far fetched.

Thanks, I use them and didn’t know this was a feature. My favorite iOS cribbage app doesn’t offer a paid tier to remove the ads, and this took care of it.

Maybe not exactly this, but I recently read How To Break Up With Your Phone and really loved it. Short read, and even if you don’t follow the whole 30-day routine she outlines (I didn’t), it’s full of great prompts/thoughts on more responsibly looking at your consumption habits and I came away with several practices that have made a big difference for me.

Correct. If you do it now, there’s a notice about this feature going away.

My favorite Calibre thing was when the creator was interviewed and asked about the common complaint that Calibre is ugly and he was basically like “actually it’s not.”

I’m slightly younger (born in 86) but went through a similar thought process a couple of years back. I remembered being an avid reader as a kid but could barely make it through a book or two a year, and struggled to maintain any form of attention span. I forced myself to read more for about the first month, then I got addicted to it again and ended up reading 42 books that year. I’m very conscious now about pretty much always having my devices in some form of focus mode/app time limits and prioritizing focus/reading time. I feel much better.

Bro looking at your last two posts… if you’re not trolling, you might want to get some help before you really go off the deep end. Reminds me of unsuccessfully trying to convince a friend they’re about to “invest” in a pyramid scheme.

Damn, that’s a long run!

Honestly I’ve been getting much happier the less fucks I give.

I noticed this feature wasn’t available for my Colorsoft and asked support about it. They assured me it would be added later. This is exactly what I expected to happen.
