• 10-15 min walks. Great time to just get the body moving and get into deep thought or listen to an audiobook

• Having a regular water refill routine

• Weekly/monthly budget/finances review

• All the small annoying non “fun” stuff that every old persons unsolicited advice essentially.

How old are you and where are you from?

Because in the US it has been a ‘fashion statement’ for decades. Maybe even centuries to be honest.

It has gotten LESS popular compared to the 2000s. Haven’t seen one in a while tbh.

Social media was not a mistake, but unregulated social media was.

The whole incentive for businessman to ‘innovate’ in tech is to skirt around the law. We have had laws about theft for centuries, but now since its ‘digital’ theft we have to write new laws for some reason?

Just an example, but social media/tech unregulated is what got us here.

Yeah go ahead, copy and paste exists.

Jesus fuck

America is overworked into apathy

Got a favorite app? Been trying to get into crosswords, but I do find them difficult.

Been using sporcle.

Office worker in government. Everyone around me is either an idiot/incompetent or doing all the work. Will get ‘rewarded’ with more work if I start asking for more.

At least you get to go home early if you want. I guarantee that 80% of office workers pretend to work all day because if we don’t then we are given more work/responsibilities without a pay increase, job title, any reward.

A lot of office work is ‘be ready to answer a question at anytime when someone walks up to your cube’. And to be fair, you are probably the only person who can answer that question since most people’s role is niche/specialized.

But honestly, pretty sure office workers/management want people in the office all hours of the days because they hate their home life, and use work as their only socialization.

Is this not the same/similar to seeing people’s search results of “how to get away with murder”?

Physical touch in erogenous zones.

Only had my heart broken once (twice if you count me taking her back after cheating).

Time was the only thing that helped me. And then after a year or two, trying to talk to other girls.

Either way, its rough man. Just know that you are not alone and everybody goes through it.

Online hobby communities. So if your into gaming/modding, join some discords or whatever and then eventually you can translate to irl. Especially if you live near a big city/population.

Also, my wife 5 years ago made about 5 new friends on Bumble with friend feature thing. Still hang out with two of them.

I would not say people are coming more prudish, but rather policies are. Why? I assume because cash is king, and the best way to get cash is in advertising. Advertising has always been prudish since it needs to appeal to the masses.

Policy eventually influences/dictates culture. This is most obvious with the world ‘unalive’.

Another idea, is that we are becoming significantly more moral and have increase civil rights. How does this relate? Well, if you grew up in the 90s or 00s you know that being told you were gay was not a joking matter, but a serious claim that could make you a social pariah. Now calling someone ‘gay’ as an insult is not as socially acceptable, is that because we are more prude or more moral?

I think what a lot of people identify as ‘prude’ culture is just another perspective of an attempt at being more moral and inclusive.

When I was a child, I would lay awake at night, in retrospect it was anxiety and depression due to loneliness (only child, sheltered, private school with less than 10 kids).

What I did, without the knowledge or concept of anxiety and depression, was that I would let me thoughts run and I would use logic and reasoning to get through them.

“What if a kid makes fun of me for this and that?” “I would then do this”, and then I would play out every single possible situation in my head on what the most common, worst, and best outcomes were.

A decade of doing that helped me.

I get his point. Using AI to recompile (or whatever it actually does) does not guarantee, or even care, if the game is actually recompiled in it’s original image.

But the masses don’t care about stuff like that, only die hard fans and devs do. But people who were born 10-20 years later doing their retro gaming phase won’t notice or care about the difference.

It does bring up the question, why should they?

Uh… I got it in 2 but apparently forgot how to spell. Frustrating.
