Hard to explain, but I guess Bilbo Baggins said it best: "like butter scraped over too much bread." I exercise (primarily weights and yoga, plus cardio here and there) 3-4 times per week, eat incredibly healthy (lots of greens and

You're basically describing the past 10 years of medical mystery for me, especially this: "unrefreshing sleep, always feeling under-oxygenated/undernourished even when having a very healthy diet, a constant sense feeling &quo

Most people are passionate about little more than having free time and a bit of money to spend with friends and family, safety, enough food. That's about it. I know that just about everything else has fallen away over the years. It&#x2

The day before Catalina was released, I found myself looking for the Podcasts app on macOS. I've become a big fan of it on iOS and couldn't remember if it was one those early iOS-to-macOS apps, like News. It wasn't. Bummer. U

> eat less meat While eating less or no meat is a big part of it, it's more nuanced than it's often presented. For instance, this talk provides a very, very good argument for keeping livestock. https://www.youtube.

This is the most accurate description of my depression and why it is seemingly impervious to therapy. It's not debilitating to the point of not being able to function in daily life, but is instead a constant, low-grade friction resulti

It's great, but...good lord, that name. If your hope is to appeal to the masses, there are in my view two cardinal sins in OS naming: 1) Don't put "OS" in the name. It's an automatic "nerd alert." macOS is

Not true at all in my experience. Producers/managers have very tough jobs as well.

Making video games is not even remotely similar to playing video games. Source: I work in the game dev industry. It’s brutal.

“If you're small and scrappy, antisocial behavior makes you a charming scoundrel. If you're big, the same behavior makes you evil.” This is with regards to businesses only, though. With people, it’s flipped. Poor? Bad behavior is

I mean, watch it yourself and decide. I’d find it difficult to see how anyone could come away with anything other than the more-or-less self-evident notion that Ma is a moron, Musk is extremely intelligent, and they’re both egomaniacal, alb

To be fair, that one YouTube video (I’m assuming you’re talking about the one with Musk) demonstrated an astronomical and wide-reaching lack of critical thinking skills. Saying such ridiculous things with such confidence like he did in that

Right, but we tend to be drawn to our inferior functions, and thus the end result of those mirrored stacks can end up being pretty similar. That's what I'm getting at. Should have been more clear.

Anecdotally: MB is a very useful, extremely high level abstraction (and thus can only be so accurate) of real cognitive behavior. I reject the notion that it's just like a horoscope. I've routinely tested as INFP, leaning towards

> The effects take years to decades for anything significant enough to precipitate. This sentence is weird to me. Can you rephrase?

You're being pedantic. "Linux users" in a post like this clearly means a specific thing. Context matters.

You couldn’t be more wrong (the only ways the models tend to be wrong is that reality tends to be worse ), but right on.

You’re misunderstanding the Yoda quote. He means that trying simply doesn’t exist — you either do the thing, or you don’t do it. Aim to do the thing, don’t aim to “try.”

This hits incredibly close to home. Have you figured out how to...for lack of a better phrase...be a person again? To have a real journey, to enjoy it, to be your authentic self? Has anything changed thanks to this realization?

I’m going to be the contrarian here: no, I do not recommend ever using an app to meditate. Using an app vs simply sitting is (potentially strange analogy here) sort of like being in a restaurant with TV’s vs without. When there’s TV’s, it’s

You are very simply uninformed. What you think will happen in 50 years is the present. We’re already past the point of no return (well...officially we will be in 12 years, but we don’t have even close to the political will or infrastructure

That analogy is spot on. Absolutely the perfect way to look at burnout in my experience.

Few things are as important as consistently getting quality sleep. Not doing so slowly, slowly ruins your life. So slowly that you’ll think it’s other things, or that the side effects of your sleep deprivation are the causes themselves. Don

Right, because using a canvas bag instead of a plastic one is just like going without running water.

28 here, and I agree completely. Nice point about the people who try to figure the job thing out while taking the more “traditional” path — I feel like that’s a sizable part of our generation that’s usually ignored. Also, yeah, I don’t get

Agreed, and the solution is stupidly simple -- just swap the names! The whole thing is so un-Apple.
