Being stopped is a huge benefit of Pomodoro for me. It gives the brain a cooldown period to back out of stupid decisions/patterns, and to connect pieces that it wasn’t necessarily focusing on. It’s amazing the silly mistakes I’ll catch

If helicopter parenting is trending up while traffic accidents including kids are trending down, isn’t that more likely to be evidence in favor of helicopter parenting?

Exactly. I came to the conclusion that for me it was an environment/discipline issue because (among other things) my severe-ADHD friends would try the same tactics with 0 effect. If I can manage attention issues with lifestyle changes

For a while there I thought I had ADHD, and started looking for avenues to get diagnosed. But when I talked more with some friends who have serious cases of it, I started to doubt. Instead of going for the medication, I removed distracting

I do the same. And while it’s frustrating that nothing seems to stick long-term, I think it’s important to be trying. I’ll create a recurring to-do list of errands and I’ll stick to it for a week if I’m lucky. It feels bad when I find all t

I would recommend starting with Spirited Away . It has a bit faster pacing than some of the others, and tons of interesting creatures that really show off the character design prowess. I love Miyazaki and Ghibli films in general, but they

My ring is vintage, the lab-grown emerald replacing whatever stone it used to hold. I imagine that brought down the price. My preference generally is for well-kept vintage jewelry. Beyond thriftiness, there’s an extra charm to wearing somet

I and most of my friends (late 20s to early 30s) have non-diamond engagement rings. The consensus is that diamonds are outdated, exploitative, and scammy. I also think they’re not as pretty/eye-catching as my lab-grown emerald.

Tumblr is the only social media site that truly hooks me for hours at a time anymore. So while I’d be sad to see it go and take all its lovely fan communities down… I would get a lot of my time back.

In the US it varies between companies, but it’s not all that difficult to avoid places that expect extra overtime, or to say “no” when it’s requested in most cases. Eventually they stop asking you, ime. I’m unsure whether declining has a ne

I fear this will be one of those moments where all the fun, quirky fanon about the Zelda universe will go ignored. We can only pray that the casting isn’t bland and that they choose Link-as-unpredictable-hellion to script the character

Both of the populations you noted are prime targets for abusers on the internet (as in many other realms of life).

From what I’ve read, quite a few studies have shown a correlation between social media use and mental disorders in teen girls that isn’t nearly as pronounced for boys.

Per #2, the article you linked doesn’t conclude that DEI isn’t valuable, rather that it’s usually not executed effectively. > That doesn't mean DEI efforts don't work. It is possible to create a program that spurs real change.

The “tortured artist” trope is overplayed in media vs. the reality. I don’t have the sources on hand, but you might enjoy looking into it: truly prolific and influential artists tend to be those who had stable/comfortable/long eno

Churchgoing/practicing folks of faith, maybe. There are plenty of religious folks who don’t partake in communal practice and who are generally miserable people. (By “religious folks” I mean “people who have spiritual beliefs aligning w

This is just the original sentence with extra steps. The hypothetical “second chance” you’re attempting to give him was used up every time he chose to take another step in perpetuating his fraud. I’m not a fan of the current imprisonment es

This attitude seems to follow a very loose definition of the term “fraud” and is likely not what people in this thread mean when they employ the term.

Unlike social media platforms, any given university only has so many physical spaces, blocks of time, advertising and logistics resources, etc. to host speakers. They’re selectively chosen and coordinated. So when a speaker is invited who i

You can recognize that this is a very fringe case and not typical behavior of the “cancel culture” crowd, right? Some people will choose “tolerance” as a convenient cover for objectively bad behavior, but a good number of popular “cancela

Not that I have a horse in this race, but… Your information is always going to be sourced and/or presented by humans with bias. Isn’t it better when that bias is transparent? A solo author draws their reader into a proxy conversation w

Maybe it’s not easy, but many people find that attitude useful in a variety of circumstances. Maybe this is part of why some of us seek the advice/perspectives of the dying. Life is rarely peaceful unless we make it deliberately so.

Oh absolutely. I personally had legitimately 0 fear of death until 30. Then it began to creep up.

From your link, homeschooling is… > negatively associated with college degree attainment (RR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.67, 0.88) and possibly with greater risk of posttraumatic stress disorder. I’m sure I’m just unlucky and that the 3/4 abu

Unfortunately, of the 4 people I know personally who were homeschooled, it was a vehicle for abuse for 3 of them. One friend’s mom wouldn’t teach him the curriculum for months, and then when she knew a test was coming up she would make him
