There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • I do what I call “productive procrastination”.
    I allow myself to procrastinate by doing something else instead that’s also necessary to do.
    Of course, “necessary” is a slippery term.
    But what definitely doesn’t fall under it is doom-scrolling, day-drinking and wikipedia rabbit holes.

    This actually lets me be pretty productive throughout the day, as long as I have tasks I can push back endlessly.
    Like, I haven’t brought my finances and investments in proper order in over 10 years.
    Which probably cost me a 5-digit amount in lost profit over that time frame.
    But I’m fortunate enough to not feel it and accept things like this as my ADHD tax.
    It would take a couple hours, but would involve decisions and it never becomes urgent.


  • Would it be weird if you were in a park and a grown up man was there juggling?

    No. It would be depressing if I was in a park and no one was there juggling, or trying to learn to ride a unicycle, or failing to slackline, or setting up a tent for the first time before going on an adventure, or doing yoga, or practicing artistic moves.
    To me, that’s just what people do in a park. That’s (also) what parks are for.

    When you start, for the first 5 minutes or so, people will look at you, maybe they’ll even point at you, maybe even laugh.
    But unless you live in a really shitty depressing place, that laugh will be one of joy, and they’ll look and point at you cause they are interested.

    Source: I did all those activities in parks. No one ever laughed at me, and I never got the feeling they thought I’m a weirdo.





  • Some feedback on your website.
    It’s bad. Sorry to be blunt.
    I don’t even know where to begin.
    Links are only identifyable by being underlined. But then you have underlined text on the front page which isn’t a link.
    All links point to the author. subdomain, from where there is no way back!
    Except for one link that opens my e-mail program without any hint that it’ll do that.
    Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail.
    Most of the links leave you guessing what happens when you click them – which in this day and age means, they’ll remain unclicked.
    The color choice is … interesting.

    The entire site is actually illegal in very many countries outside of the US, cause it advertises a service but includes absolutely no info about what company or organisation I actually send my data to when I sign up. For the same reason, you are currently violating the GDPR cause you don’t blacklist visits from within the EU. Yes, that law applies even if you’re in the US.

    And after clicking every link, I still have no idea what your software even is.




  • I use vim cause it lets me stay on the home row with my fingers and it flies when you’re used to it.
    So I use vim-wiki cause it lets me switch between coding, notes and my todo list without leaving vim, the terminal, it taking my fingers off the keyboard.

    Just a friendly hint: If you plan on making this a commercial product and earning money with it, be aware that the people here are a tiny niche, and probably not the type of people who will pay money for software as a service.
