  I’m just now getting over a cold that gave me the worst laryngitis of my life. It felt like I got punched in the throat some days. So I’m super grateful today to have most of my voice back. Swelling and inflammation is reduced. Even my cough which I thought would become bronchitis is fading. So grateful to be feeling well again after a week or this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a very very good habit to have. It does wonders for mental health including reducing existential dread and depression. It’s not a silver bullet but it helps tremendously.

  I try to remember whenever something bad is happening to me like a cold, or getting laid off, I’m grateful to not be a victim of genocide or taken as POW in Russia. Hell, not having to be drafted in the military like Americans did in Vietnam.

  Being grateful in the face of suffering is its own CBT

  Fuck your whatsboutism. This is good news; tiktok is a propaganda machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨COVID: German man vaccinated 217 times had no side effects⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand how this is allowed. Why let someone who is already vaccinated get more vaccines pointlessly? Why nobody stepped in and said this is a waste of time and resources?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have video games become expensive now?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well there’s also just a lot more games now, and even retro games that have been around are competing (I’m playing RE1 for example, bought it recently cuz I’ve never played it before)

  So I don’t think it’s intrinsically due to other life costs being high. When you have games like battlebit and palworld and lots of ftp games just saturating the market it’s hard to justify charging so much. People literally don’t have the lifespan to play all the games that exist and will continue to be created over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is social media addictive? ‘Digital detox’ study suggests not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like it’s addictive like marijuana or caffeine-Not actually addictive, but habit forming, which can be unhealthy. But when you take it away the person doesn’t really think about it too much. at least not throughout the day as a “back-of-mind” distraction as folks with an actual addiction would have.

  I think they’re referring to staying conscious and meditating towards sleep to keep lucidity during the transition. It’s a technique.

  It’s been on my wishlist for a while cuz I thought it looked pretty good but wasn’t quite sure if I should try it.

  Now I know to buy it next time there’s a good steam sale. You’ve sold me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The unemployment cycle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What do the kids do in the meantime? I understand it’s a lot to throw a “kid” into university, but it’s often done so they can get a career and start contributing to retirement and building wealth.

  I mean it’s also impractical to have a family without some career so that gets put on hold too. Or worse they have kids and have to go to school at the same time.

  I’m not saying everyone should go to college, but just defending the reasoning for those that do why they go as young as they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metaverse: What happened to Mark Zuckerberg's next big thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo, the idea of it doesn’t match the reality, which is a very virtual one. Intrinsically, it’s a lot to bet on when real life offers more.

  VR today also forces the first person perspective. For some that can cause nausea, and for others they get fatigued quickly.

  I think there’s potential but from what I’ve seen a lot of hokey options mixed with a limited market in a limited supply due to price just won’t foster anything organic.
