I try to improve myself every day.

But I can never achieve this level of genius. The answer is so obvious now!

Thanks for providing this. It is obvious you put a lot of time into this. Truly appreciated. I will have to look into these.

How did you find these yourself?

Ideally: Stand up and go for a walk or my stretching routine. Usually ends the tiredness.

Realistically: Balatro

Also California.

Yeah there wasn’t much. Only thing I heard about was a restaurant with marg deals and giving out small cute sombrero hats.

It is an important skill and confidence booster to approach people in general in public. If you are uncomfortable with women, then start with men.

If that is still uncomfortable, then that means you are uncomfortable to talking with strangers in general. Unfortunately, experience is the only way to combat this. Start small with chit chat in lines, compliment people on their shoes, etc.

I am currently 29 but work in payroll retirement auditing. So I actually know a little about people not retiring.

I work in the education system, and people who work in the education/public sector have a HARD time not coming back to work. Our retirement agencies have gotten stricter and stricter with retirees working after retirement.

Why? Well people who work in public and education system usually work their entire life in the industry. Especially teachers and admin. And they honestly don’t know what to do with themselves. They don’t know how to handle freedom.

They have been institutionalized. If you have seen shawshank redemption you will have a good understanding of what that means. Here’s a quick clip from the movie.

I have read testimonies from other people who have gone through economic/political instability and hardship. What i got out of it is that prepping will help for a week to a month maybe. But after that preppers just feel dumb after that as all that work didn’t mean much long term.

The only thing that universally matters is having community ties. Unfortunately… USA aren’t very community friendly or even have the opportunity to create strong local bonds. As all community events are during work hours so only retired people part take in those.

At the end of the day there is no reason not to. Not like it takes any effort or costs anything.

That being said, I usually won’t the closer I am to home/on my main commute. Why? Because I’m driving next to the same people every day. The same work truck with a giant butterfly on it and that one dumb ass looking cyber truck. Along with the other 100 other commuters the same day.

The heart from your hate in my ass

Our modern day concept of ownership.

Yeah no shit. Then the new ones literally have less features than the old one. Like connecting SharePoint calendars

It really just depends on your climate, geography, and infrastructure.

Where is I was raised, it would be consistently 90-100 Fahrenheit throughout the summer. And one week that was always up to 110.

I had no ac, but a constant broken swamp cooler. So basically no real ac.

In the mornings and night when it did become cool, you would open all the windows and doors for the air and wind to blow through, and then about 9am you would close the windows and blinds and deal with the heat.

Sleeping through the worst parts of the heat is not a bad idea.

Yup.

If I can’t say basic words and facts like, this woman was raped, this man died, etc.

I just don’t use the website in any meaningful way.

That people’s ‘default’ morality is ‘good’.

It isn’t. It is actually pure apathy and only do we get taught, groomed, learn, decide, etc. about morality.

If that is true, then some people are actually ‘better’ and ‘worse’ than others. If so, then my entire outlook on human life will need to change. Don’t know to what, but that is the existential threat.

Recently had to come to the conclusion, that even though I have never ‘tried’ to learn, observe, or otherwise be smart, that I am well above average intelligence to those immediately around me. This is beyond infuriating. How can I be ‘better’ than everyone on average without even trying? It infuriates me to no end.

Interesting ideas.

My idea of Heaven: no place, but reincarnation. That way all the ‘good’ people will be inhabiting the earth. They have the opportunity to be evil in that life, and then they would go to hell. If they keep continuing to be good, they keep getting reincarnated.

My idea of Hell: Nothing. Just pure death.

What would the criteria of going to heaven or hell? No idea.

Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.

The truth is fine, no reason to exaggerate or fib. Last job was temporary and now looking for another opportunity.

Step 1: put in touchscreens Step 2: touchscreens good because = smart Step 3: … Step 4: Profit?

Who knew you could just gaslight our AI overlords?

This is Not the Onion territory.

If only we had regulations…
