I travel around the US working from different states/cities. The difference in behavior is astounding between the big and small cities. I have the absolute best experiences in small to mid sized towns, and in big cities everyone on the

You can also sneak in free will via those effects. The narrative of a purely mechanical deterministic world has fallen apart probably more than is recognized.

I’ve done this at times and it always wound up putting me out of phase with normal hours. That quickly causes all sorts of scheduling catastrophes. I have however found that being a bit short on sleep one night and making it up another work

It’s like drug or alcohol addiction. People can become somewhat “born again” usually after some kind of catastrophe and/or “rock bottom” moment. Parents allowing this from their adult children are akin to addict enablers.

Yea it’s really frustrating how everyone just assumes you are doing something basic wrong, as if you haven’t spent years on all the low hanging fruit. My body/brain simply will not allow me to sleep longer than 6.5 hours and that is of

I quickly forgot Notepad++ existed after starting to use VScode. This just reminded me to uninstall it. I’m very much against censorship but I’m far more annoyed by “everything is politics”

I don’t think they put on more weight than people in a relationship they don’t enjoy. So the enjoyment factor seems irrelevant at best.

Being fit serves many goals other than attracting a mate. I wouldn’t personally even put it in the top 3, although admittedly most people probably would.

See if you can transfer the addiction to a fitness game? Suddenly the addiction becomes a virtue and is strengthened by the endorphin highs.

I don’t really understand in what scenario a bum needs to be the level of clean a jet of water provides vs the level of clean a towel provides. I mean in both cases it’s not being disinfected but you’re getting enough off to prevent underwe

I’ve noticed society also tends to be surprisingly supportive of people who were once drug addicts, even in spite of any crimes they committed during that time. It’s recognized the effort it takes to change and sometimes evens seems to be p

I’ve been doing this for years and it has coincided with more productivity and much more life satisfaction. It has made my working hours into pure, dense, focused and organized effort. I don’t think we are really built to work 8-9 hour shif

It sucks wanting a home right now. Holding off will raise your own property value but if you’re looking for an upgrade, it raises your future property value even more for a net loss. But if you try to rush in now, the supply is abysmal leav

Most of the supposed features of crypto, and Bitcoin in particular, become impractical once the government starts to become motivated to stop it. It’s largely all one big utopian wishful thought.

This makes me wonder if you could take this further and make the connection protocol dance across a variety of ports as part of the initial handshake.

I’m afraid this would just further incentivize mining in countries who don’t have such taxes. Further centralizing Bitcoin and shifting the energy production to places who are even worse environmental abusers.

This is why I’ve found a balance. I like to work at a startup, but they get the amount of hours they invest in me. Typically that means I get to spend much of my day enjoying fitness/outdoor activities but still get the potential for a

I have a theory that people who made money through crypto speculation are also rationalizing why they “deserved” the windfall.

It was well written, but has the affect of an apparently quite depressed existential crisis. I’m not in that emotional place in my life so I didn’t really enjoy it, but since I have been in the place before I’m at least able to recognize it

I went a span of years addicted to a form of social media. After all sorts of silly drama when the dust settled I became completely uninterested. I’d imagine some people have natural immunity and some, like me, had to learn it the hard way.

Mercari is pretty close to that. Every time I post it seems to know a good price which usually seems fair to me and actually sells.

I just don’t use social media for “viewpoint diversity” — I don’t use it to discuss politics or morals at all. It isn’t an effective venue. So it’s best IMO to remove the nodes who are using it for those purposes rather than get sucked into

I think to a large extent the selfishness just expands to include your kids. Most parents are even less likely to consider the needs of people outside of their family because they weigh the needs of their kids far above others.

I simply unfriended everyone online who virtue signals and/or engages in hostile politics. That includes some family members. If asked, it’s simple enough to explain calmly and honestly.
