They’ve always got evidence that they’re going to show us… soon.

Not today.

But soon.

They can’t say when.

Only that it’ll be soon.

Soon.

No. It encourages people to game the system instead of honestly engaging.

I have a friend who is constitutionally incapable of throwing things away, including the vast number of things she inherited from her mother who bought a second house to store her totally-not-a-hoarding-problem.

To get back at her for trying to foist some of them on my wife and I, I spend six months hiding Lego minifigs among her ornaments every time we visited her home.

“It could be raining tits and you’d look up and catch a dick.”

Every last person working to make it a worse world.

It’s not even 8 AM here yet. Guess the first item on my to-do list is ‘write a to-do list’.

There’s good content to be found on Reddit, but most of Reddit is not good content. It’s like wading through a chest-high river of sewage to smell a rose.

And Lemmy’s not trying to sell me something every 30 seconds.

Good: I have free speech.

Bad: You have free speech.

I think that sums it up.

Memory training tools. Like the memory palace, the person-action-object method, acronyms and mnemonics.

Visualisations like using the abacus method to do fast and accurate arithmetic.

And human-executable techniques like the doomsday algorithm and George Marsaglia’s random number generator.

Sounds a lot like burnout to me.

A toasted English muffin, with peanut butter. My usual breakfast.

It’s awkward. I’m not upset, please stop insisting that I should be. Am I now failing to live up to your expectations by being okay with stuff?

I think headphones aren’t tight enough to leave divots, but cochlear implants might make them wonder.

I mean, you’re just coming off sounding like an Apple-hater and someone who hasn’t ever actually owned an iPad. Maybe even a bot.

Yeah, that opinion was clearly an attack on an in-group you personally identify with! /s

Recycled plastic bin liners. They literally split at the seams as I was peeling them off the roll.

Second place goes to a pair of cheap shoes. Literally walked the soles off them in two weeks.

Third place goes to a pair of nail clippers from a consignment store. The metal bent rather than cut through my fingernails. (Maybe it would have worked better under the red sun of my home planet?)

“I’m not here to fuck spiders” - said by Australians who want to drop the preamble and get down to business.

Is that correct? I know there’s still a trace of atmosphere at the altitude the ISS orbits, and they need to occasionally make a burn to regain speed lost to friction.

I’ve eaten them before, and they’re basically leaves. 2/10. Would not recommend.

Getting a better handle on your attention

How would you recommend doing that?

Get it on video. Every time you play it during his adult years, he’ll die inside a little more.
