Sure! Number 1 is, as you said, exercise. If I can't get myself to do a full routine, I reduce it to "just go do bench press for today. nothing else." Because doing a bench press set beats not exercising at all! Likewise I fo

I should do that more, the one-line thing. I figured out the "absurdly low bar" trick myself for a lot of other stuff in my life but I hadn't thought to apply it to this. Good suggestion!

What a terrible analogy. Illusions don't fool our intelligence, they fool our senses, and we use our intelligence to override our senses and see it for what it for it actually is - which is exactly why we find them interesting and have

There were periods of time - sometimes years - where they didn't. And there were moments I thought I wouldn't be able to keep it going. But they were people I valued enough and had so much shared history with that I just kept tryi

Given that the sides of the dodecahedron aren't parallel to one another and you therefore cannot look through it from one side to the other (only two side are parallel), your "completely obvious" theory falls pretty flat. Kin
