- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 1 week ago:
My life was changed when I stopped going to the gym for a long hard work out and switched to what I call “strength snacks”. I do two circuits of three exercises twice a day.
I think that walking can be a great start. But also doing some sort of resistance exercise is also important and useful. You can start with a body weight routine and move up to weights once you are solidly into the routine.
- Comment on How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent? 1 week ago:
I mean , a minimum competence is the bar. I’m not recommending someone who is going to make me look bad if they get hired. But if you’re ok and my friend, I’ll recommend you and it’s more likely you’ll be hired over someone really good, but who doesn’t know anyone.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 1 week ago:
I wonder if someone tried claiming damage to their personal car?
- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 3 weeks ago:
I would encourage more than 2 hobbies. It can be very difficult to feel satisfied if for some reason you can’t engage in one of your hobbies (I speak from experience).
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a mix. I’m not a stylish person, but I find I get the most compliments when I’m wearing things I love.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 4 weeks ago:
I like and admire visual arts. I wanted to try to be able to do the thing. I have a strong imagination and extremely good visualization skills, so I wanted to be able to take things from my minds eye to reality.
I have found much of my art/creative outlet in dancing and crafting.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 4 weeks ago:
I have always felt that I’m not good at art (the practice I did got me not very far), and I’ve recently had reason to make little collages. One thing that I’ve done is uploaded pictures to Canva and traced them so I had something resembling recognizable images (my dog, me in a kayak). I don’t think tracing is making an art, AI is definitely not making an art.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
What a fascinating quirk. Do you ever get ear worms? Are you just generally indifferent or do you dislike music?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Interesting. I like a pretty niche style of music and I feel like when they make suggestions after the end of playlists were regularly good enough to get added to the seeding playlists.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
I was using tidal for about a year but I just got really frustrated when my account got lost/interrupted when I updated my phone. I may go back for music discovery and playlists. However right now (and I plan for at least a few more months) I’m going to spend the money on band camp.
