No way in hell that whole mission is trans.

Apologize while you still can. Gets harder to let go of after they pass.

I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but based on your stated priorities recommend getting a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. As much as I love ricing Linux and playing games, I use my MacBook Air for 90% of all my computing and coding. MacOS provides the most polished user experience out of the box (although it’s going down hill with every update they push). And once MacOS hits the enshittification event horizon you can switch to Asahi.

I suggest at least going to an Apple Store and dicking around with a display model to get a feel for the UX.

How many lives have they destroyed?

It’s not just reading, people don’t want to mentally engage with things. There are people who would rather read movie reviews than go watch a movie and form their own opinion on it.

Engaging with material will always require something of the audience. We can try to make things as accessible and easy to understand as possible, but that doesn’t “solve” the problem, it just lowers the bar. Lowering the bar isn’t bad, but it seems like the wrong strategy for the current era. I think a better strategy is attempting to foster and enthusiastic community at a local level. Get together with friends on the weekends and mess around with stuff in person, talk about it.

*if your goal is to eliminate hunger in a hypothetical future 5 years from now.

I think it’s a mistake to think that donating $50,000 to a charitable organization in 5 years is more important or “better” than buying $100 of groceries for someone who needs it today.

This person isn’t trying to maximize the amount of “good” they can do, they’re trying to minimize what it will cost them because they’re greedy and unwilling to actually give something of themselves.

“Giving all you have” doesn’t have to mean taking all of your money and possessions and just giving them to someone. It can also mean earnestly engaging with the idea that we’re here to serve and elevate each other, and having faith that in doing so we will create a better world.

I’m downloading this and contributing to prove the haters wrong. Y’all are gonna regret not being able to say “I toad a so” like me.

Yeah but what if you’re the AI twin and you’re in the metaverse right now playing out a recursive simulation? Is focusing on better paying jobs really what you want to spend your time doing?

Maybe. It depends on the situation. If I’m feeling anxious to the point where it is hindering my ability to enjoy existing then I use that as the trigger to take action. First step for me is usually identifying the source of my anxiety. Sometimes this is easy, but sometimes this is the most difficult part. I do this by using a combination of thinking and movement. Am I sitting at my desk? Maybe I should get up and stretch. Am I pacing back and forth? Maybe I should sit and start writing my feelings/thoughts down.

Once I’ve identified the source of my anxiety I use the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated up to this point to determine a strategy for dealing with the source of my anxiety.

For example: I might be feeling anxious on a Saturday night because I’m home alone watching anime and I feel like I’m wasting my life. If I truly believe my anxiety arises from a feeling of not doing or engaging with anything in a meaningful way, then that gives me a direction to move in. What’s something I can do that feels meaningful? Maybe the answer is to call my brother, or leave my apartment and take a walk, or read a book. The answer can be whatever “feels” right. And if nothing feels right then I dig a layer deeper and repeat the process.

This too shall pass. Try to enjoy the process of transitioning from one rhythm to the next.

You can’t observe nothing because observation requires an observer, if there is an observer by definition there’s not nothing.

Hello! Congrats on the dishwasher and good luck on your quest to become the “you” that you want to be! It’s funny how honesty is essentially a superpower. It doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, but it’s the thing you can always fall back on and push forward with.

I’ve never been diagnosed with PLMD, but it’s something I’ve experienced. My symptoms seem to be tied to stress. Managing my stress more effectively seems to help quite a bit.

Fuck that’s depressing, but at the same time I think making a better world for people is something worth dedicating your life to.

What’s cool is we don’t even have to wait for the collapse, we can start working towards the greater good today!

How do our brains process reality? Like this.
