that’s why i keep two books in the bathroom. True Facts That Sound Like Bullshit by Shane Carley, and Brief Answers to Big Questions by Stephen Hawking. Perfect for reading ~10-20min at a time

never stopped! but i do avoid doing it in public

the streak is half the work, the other half is actually having done the thing. if i just tap “ya i did that” (when i didn’t) because i want to keep the streak going it’s meaningless

that’s why i liked duolingo when it was a good leanguage learning helper app, it really did keep me thinking about my target langauge every day at least a little

that actually helped me remember that my target language exists, it was good for me to at least have a brush with some learning on the days that i just didn’t feel like doing much.

what was the final nail on the coffin for me was duolingo neutering the japanese course, they delayed introducing kanji so hard i was seeing the most basic basics like 母, 父, 語, even 何 in hiragana, which made the course deeply counterproductive as reading japanese in hiragana only, when you know the kanji already slows you down considerably. consider: ははははなをもっています vs 母は花を持っています, both mean “my mum has a flower” but one of them has a string of は you need to decipher the meaning of first before you can understand the sentence, the other’s meaning can be understood instantly

what is happening? is ed sheeran the new beans?

huh! interesting

no wonder Todd Howard keeps selling skyrim to people, i alone have a 1000h+ in that game!

could you elaborate? i don’t think current technology with more computational power than a phone can survive without fans

i’m not up to date on general console discourse. but i know for a fact Nintendo, though never famous for being cheap, has been going mental lately. $80 for Mario Kart is mind boggling

and if at any point you had to disconnect your fans for cleaning do not forget to connect them back in. the fans are not optional components. modern PCs and laptops will straight up refuse to turn on if they can’t detect the fans

it may not matter at all, but we’re here, somehow, made of sentient flesh, kept on a giant rock hurling through space, spinning around an enormous buring ball of fire. it’s all bizarre and none of us knows what is going on, so why not take some time out of the lives we live as statistical abnormalities, and just ponder on the whys and hows and whats of the things around us, and our own minds

there’s always the possibility the one queer person just pretended not to see and let it happen because it’s funny. but the way to prevent this is to hire at least two queer people, then once you see them giggling to each other after the meeting you’ll know something is up

us Europeans are queer too sometimes (and the lingo is international)

this is what not having queer people on the team does to companies

my porn folder is called “not porn” and also hidden (with the hidden folder feature you can toggle on an off)

i don’t think a pill can give you more followers either (not without first setting up a cult and/or a drug enterprise)

oh nah lol, i’d just keep a decent amount of money to live comfortably + bit extra for the occasional adhd “new hobby” shopping spree. if “a lot” means billions, the majority of it i’d most likely donate to charities or give away to friends and random people, i have no desire to hoard wealth

1. feels like a trap, once you burn through all your fat you’ll be impossibly unhealthy

2. is a trap too, if you stop gaining weight from eating then you might trap yourself in the same situation as above

3. unless you hunt for food, bad idea

4. decent option, but it doesn’t mention if there’s any pain during the growth period

5. good option, as long as you have control over your strength

6. very bad option, sounds nice but you will go insane

7. doesn’t say if online or IRL, having many followers IRL is not desirable

8. dangerous, erasing any meaningful memories is dangerous

9. the only good option with no consequences i can think of. i’ll take 3 of those
