People who don’t drink water make me unnaturally irritated. It’s just so crazy. “I don’t breathe air because don’t really like the taste”.
I know I sound like an asshole. It shouldn’t matter to me what you do. It’s your body and your life.
Still…c’mon, like what? It’s water. It brings life. It’s the original thirst quencher. It’s what your body needs. Just drink it.
As a working class adult you have to start applying time management skills to your life or you’ll be overwhelmed.
One of those skills is budgeting time for recreation and hobbies. If something is important to you, put that time on your calendar.
I have teenage kids and a busy life. We plan for game nights on the PC, usually Tuesday and then one other night during the week as long as there’s no sportsball practices or whatnot.
Unfortunately the old “I’m bored, time for gaming” won’t work anymore. You have to assign value to your activities. Doing nothing on the couch can be an activity, gaming can be an activity, doing the dishes can be an activity. If you don’t assign values to activities and schedule them then you’ll get overwhelmed because you won’t have time to do anything.
Definitely. I think imposter syndrome is basically the same phenomenon.
I used to think there was this Council of Smart People running the world and keeping the nuclear weapons from accidentally launching and the planes from crashing and the electricity on and the bridges from collapsing.
It can’t just be me and all the absolute idiots I grew up with now running the world. That can’t be right. Oh, Jesus…oh no.
That “adults” are just kids that got older. Same goes for “old people”. Everyone was once a 14 year old. There is no dividing line where you suddenly become an adult, and there is no dividing line between being an adult and being old.
We’re all born, and we live a life of days, months years, decades… it’s just you and your one, single life. You’re always going to be you.
Make this one life count. Don’t wait. Don’t procrastinate. Make shit happen. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
PCs and all devices will become more locked down, with a small rebellious minority. Pretty much what we have today, but the divide will become greater.
All consumer devices are designed for the consumer to consume content. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Web Sites, Social Media, Video Games…all of it. Very, very few people at the consumer level use computing power to perform complex calculations or process large datasets.
All of that content is someone else’s creation, and they want to get paid for their creation. Either by you directly purchasing/subscribing to what they’ve created, or via advertisers. Everyone has rent or a mortgage and bills to pay and they want to buy food and buy stuff for their kids.
Any time you sit in front of a screen, whether it’s a TV or a PC or a smartphone and begin to consume content, think about that. Whoever created what you’re looking at wants money, just like you want money.
So when a PC isn’t locked down to make sure you’re somehow paying for the content you consume, that upsets the entire supply chain that is delivering this content to your eyes and ears. They have to make sure they’re somehow getting paid…
Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book’s backstory.
Calling anything about beauty a standard.
Obviously fake anything. Boobs. Lips. Butt.
Trying too hard in general. Just be you.
I get we’re not perfect and we all have insecurities. Why are they called love handles? But people are just people. We’re all human.
