- Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? 1 day ago:
Exactly. Everything needs to be peak consumerism, or else their model of “line on the graph infinitely goes up” shatters. It’s a Brave New World dystopia.
- Comment on THIS is always the correct response 1 day ago:
Don’t have to move on platonically, though. More friends is always nice.

For some odd reason, this calls to mind an emotionally immature parent trying to get their toddler to eat vegetables… no reason at all…

A Plague Tale really is a master work by Olivier Deriviere. Take a listen here.

The Snufkin profile picture paired with that comment really makes this absurdly hilarious for me.

Libraries have a ton of CDs too… even newer ones.

Also adding a data point for Optery. I’m sure the other services are comparable, though. Most have free trials.

And yet it’s a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Right! I never would’ve heard of it if not for a random comment on that other cursed site.

I will share and highly recommend this resource: CCI’s Self Help Resources. There are various pages for different types of dilemmas, and most of them take you to self-directed workbooks you can fill out yourself. They’re not only informative, but they also guide you through your thinking about these issues and how to deal with them and grow from them.

Lysistrata, then.

I like my skin unflayed, thanks. /s

Ah ok, I’ve lived in the NW side and not ever seen listings that talk about heated floors. Sounds interesting!

Same, this is how I got frustrated by Hades. I no longer have endless time to sink into a game to get good.
- Comment on 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties 4 months ago:
Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 4 months ago:
You can use plastic sleeve covers, just nothing permanent like laminate. You can’t scan it with laminate.
- Comment on The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back 5 months ago:
Envious, that sounds like a great experience. Trial by doing is probably the best way for most people to learn.
- Comment on The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back 5 months ago:
That is pretty much how I feel - like I’m putting out the fires every day, but not actually progressing on what I want or plan to do. It’s a tough balancing act that I’m still trying to figure out… time management is a tough skill to learn when it doesn’t come easily or naturally.

I learned that, in Latin America, it is also the Day of Love and Friendship.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 5 months ago:
Unfortunately, a lot of official government services and representatives are still using it. I saw someone reference a Twitter post about that Canadian plane crash, for instance.

Thanks for bringing up the quadrants. I’ve been aware of them but feel like I haven’t been using them optimally to figure out how to best focus my time and energy. Somehow I didn’t realize important/non-urgent was the primary one to focus on…

I disable notifications for most of my apps anyway, but the neural connections are still there and hard to undo. Breaking them is a long process in my experience… or maybe I reinforce them too much still.

That and the upgradeable storage… as soon as I can figure out how to solve my partition issues.

I got a secondhand Kobo on eBay for less than $100, almost in new condition (the seller just forgot to include the charging cable, but luckily I had plenty of spare micro-USB cables). It’s a 2018 model, but it has 8 GB of storage, plenty for most people, and a nice 6" 300 PPI screen with warm light and dark mode. It’s more than sufficient.

I’d never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
