I do similar, swapping my watch to the opposite wrist when I want to remember to remember something. Unfortunately, I do it so frequently, I forget why I switched wrists this time around.

I must already have the mod and/or sub blocked because I have no idea what you’re talking about.

May I respectfully suggest a Marie Kondo approach to your digital life. If it isn’t sparking joy for you, throw it out.

Sure, but they don’t come conveniently labeled as “honest”/“not honest”.

If they’re being honest, the kitchens, shelters organizations, etc will help them better than I can alone. (In my area where those resources are available)

Someone who wants to avoid those places when they are readily available and instead knock on the door of a random stranger… we’re talking about increased odds of not-great intentions.

Fair. I was thinking if a loaf of bread sized battery could run my car for 100 miles, I would have zero range anxiety. Make them easily swappable so people no longer charge their battery on road trips, they just drive up to a station, swap, and continue on their way. Maybe with an extra loaf or two in the trunk if going far from stations.

Storage size and longevity aren’t as important to me once it becomes dense enough I can carry all I need for a day in my purse.

An exponential increase in power density of batteries.

I’ve only worked with a small handful of people I’ve felt were genuinely lazy and earning unwarranted praise. I’ve more often found they had better insight into what would be most valued and earn recognition, and they didn’t spend as much energy on things that wouldn’t.

The ones who really were lazy usually eventually were “offered other opportunities elsewhere”, aka asked to leave. Or their manager was “offered other opportunities” and replaced by someone with better management skills.

It did take me a bit to learn this and it only started sinking in after I was stuck in a job watching everyone around me get promoted.

What did the locals say when you asked why they were advising you not to swim there?

I’m not indecisive. I am deciding not to make a bad decision. Just because you want one of two answers doesn’t mean there isn’t a third or more. I will not to be constrained by your unnecessary binary worldview!!!

Matthew Broderick taught me this is in the 1983 film classic, War Games.

Not enough information provided.

I feel like this might be one of those occasions where experiences and perspectives vary wildly by gender.

A strange man having the confidence to knock on my door is not something I can translate into an assumption he is safe.

No, I’m not opening the door. There are tons of churches and a soup kitchen and two shelters in my town. If someone is knocking on doors of homes instead, they are up to no good.

I am kind to the homeless by donating and volunteering within an organized structure managed by people who understand the various problems faced by homeless people and how to help better than I do. Not opening my door to strangers who want into my house is not unhelpful, it’s common sense.

1. I hand out upvotes by vibes. I don’t have rules or philosophy on it, I just upvote when I feel like. One day I might upvote a comment while the next day I wouldn’t.

2. No, I would not use a tipping functionality. And it would probably turn me off from commenting. I could see people jockeying for tips affecting the quality and volume of comments. I’m also getting tired of grind / side hustle culture. We don’t need to monetize everything we do. Sometimes I do a thing for value other than monetary.

It’s fine as a one sentence guideline for small children to get them to think how others are affected by their actions. A first step in formation of their values and civic participation.

If you’re an adult whose moral framework stops at the Golden Rule and who expects the world to follow the Golden Rule, I have a bridge and a cutting-edge new AI model to sell you.

Yep. Failed a semester of school. Lost a relationship. Lost a job. Nothing about it was fun or relaxing.

I remember one day being so tired I couldn’t even tell if I needed to use the bathroom and being so disoriented I wasn’t sure if I was actually walking to the bathroom or was just thinking about walking. Frequent disassociation. “Foggy” doesn’t cover it, it was like concrete was poured around my mind and body and it was slowly setting.

Well, my cousin got a mild case of alpha-gal from a tick bite. He can no longer eat red meat but can still eat dairy.

He was always a huge asshole to his vegetarian sister. Like, sneaking animal products into her food and making her sick level of asshole. He was also a, “Real men eat red meat for every meal! Rawr! Women sense my alpha man manliness! Vegetables and healthy bowel movements are for sissies!” type bundle of insecurity and cringe.

So alpha-gal isn’t enjoyable for him, but it sure is for his sister.

Even better. Genius.

America.

Really get some knickers in a twist. People in current USA would be furious. Others in N and S America who already get annoyed that the US calls themselves “America” in shorthand. Bring the chaos and internet crybabies.

I think it’s what you do with it.

My brother got an engineering degree, decided it wasn’t for him, and is now a decently successful photographer. I got an engineering degree and have used it every day of my career so far.

My friend got an MBA and jokes about how worthless it is for her but how happy she is in a life that doesn’t require an MBA. My colleague has an MBA and uses it in his finance job all the time.

Anyone who looks down on another person for their degree, or lack of a degree, needs to mind their own business. Get some hobbies. Invest some time and joy in their own life so they don’t have to be such sour fun-haters about other people.

I got a racquetball for a couple bucks. I place it against the wall and use it to work out knots in my back and shoulders. Better than expensive massage therapy. Better than muscle relaxants except for the worst cases.

Work issues Apple phones, I have no choice in professional life short of finding another job.
