My experience is that my attention span sucks enough that there's not a functional difference between encouraging distraction and being necessarily distracting. I do basically all my work on my laptop without an external display. I use

By the same logic, it seems pretty reasonable that any useful belief would become similarly protected. As a belief proves its usefulness over time, why would it not become more deeply embedded and protected? Even if it does not require mo

Transition to "adult stuff" was quick. I turned thirty and immediately took on a full-time job at a tech company and moved into my own apartment. I still did a lot of my hobbies and spent time with friends, but I decided to invest

The idea of intermittent fasting from 12-8pm is kind of amusing to me because that's just when I tend to eat anyway. I guess I've been intermittent fasting my whole life!

Hell no. I lived a semi-bohemian lifestyle until I was 30. I worked maybe 25 hours per week and spent a shitload of time working on hobbies and doing hours of yoga every day. I took a lot of drugs, drank, slept around voraciously, and trave

I did weekly one-on-ones with a former gf. We'd just check in, see how the week went.. make sure everyone is feeling good and getting enough attention and whatnot. I thought it was a good idea, and maybe it was. It felt fine at the tim

He's asking how we can let the president knowingly lie and spread misinformation on a public platform. Misinformation and "lie" are not strong enough words. This is horseshit.

JFC, please don't answer these questions to strangers who almost certainly do not have your interests at heart. What is the biggest lie you've told without getting caught? Holy shit.

I think what the author is railing against is the tendency to criticize something before becoming deeply familiar with the problem There's a tendency I've observed nearly everywhere I've worked where a developer wants to tota

Seems like you're being intentionally reductive to get a rise out of people. But this argument has been had a million times in the form of -- - All corporate profit is theft! - Profit not theft because money is our primary means of com

Yeah, I think most of the conversation here would be more clear if we simply traded the somewhat-ambiguous "grit" for the better-defined "discipline" and "willpower".

Why tho? I have an old iPhone SE. It is small enough that I don't even notice it in my pocket. It does everything I want it to do very well and is actually very responsive. Also it is about $60 bucks on ebay. I have no compelling reaso

Sometimes I think that spirituality is something people either "get" or they don't. For me, to consider the very fact of existence rather than non-existence, the beauty and order of it, the people around me who have somehow m

It's a good idea. I get attached to the artifact, though. I think I'd need to make it an annual or bi-annual _event_. Build a fire, smoke a cigar, burn the past. Sounds nice.

I kept rigorous journals from 1999 until about 2017. I stopped because I felt it was necessary to make a break with my past self. I don't know if journaling was useful for my personal growth or not. I do know that reading old entries r

I'm not in a place where I can watch the video right now, but are they doing this via like.. an LCD-equipped enlarger? This would be pretty cool. In the early 2000s I did a lot of experimentation with printing digital negatives to tran

The contentment can stick around. I guess it depends on the person and the drug, and what happened and what was sought... Maybe the problem is in the rarity and ineffability of the experience. We don't have a huge frame of reference fo
